Went Cruising......:)

So a few days before the cruise I flew to Michigan to drop Jaxon off at Taylor mom and stayed there for a day or two to make sure that Jaxon was on his schedule and it was a sad good-bye when I left to meet  Taylor in Florida where we left from Tampa to go cruising. It felt so good to sleep in past 7 am in the morning. We had two stops on this cruise: The Cayman Islands and Cozumel, Mexico. I had so much fun on both. It was very differnt to last years cruise, because i was pregnant last year and everything made me sick, so it was great this year to not to have to carry around a water bottle, and a spit cloth ( which is what a called the cloth that i had to carry around all the time for my excess saliva...gross I know). I enjoyed the food way more this year, because the smells and taste did not make me wanna throw up everywhere, so all in all I liked this cruise alot better.

Most of our time on the ship was spent with the Harrisons, Blake and Mckelle. And I would just like to add that us three girls spent monday night by ouselves ordering room and watching the batchelor finale!!!


.... And there was our time

                                               We went four wheeling in Mexico and this couple was on the excursion too, but they were so nice. It was just us, so we had alot of the guides attention.

                                                           Formal night on the cruise

                                               The sunsets on the cruise were amazing

                                               It was Taylors birthday on the cruise (27) and they brought out a cake for him in the restuarant after dinner and everyone sang Happy Birthday.

                                     Our waiter made Taylor a little gift, too bad it didnt fit....lol

                              When we were in Mexico, I got my hair braided

                       And I just had to post this picture, because we were in Mexico, but we still chose to eat at Mcdonalds for lunch...lol

  We went four wheeling in Mexico, and it was so much fun.. it was dirty and muddy.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 We bought an underwater camera for the Cayman Islands.
 We booked an excursion to swim with Stingrays, saw some cool fish, and the water so amazingly blue, and clear.


 The cruise was alot of fun and when we got back to tampa, Taylor and I were alot more relaxed until we entered the real world again, but the weather in Cali is still gorgoeus, except for a couple of days of rain. I am getting so excited for the summer. We are now going to Virginia Beach with the Burnsides and I am excited about not being the only wife!!!! Yay!!!!

Help!!!

So we just got back from a cruise. It was so much fun and it gave Taylor and I some great time together. I really missed Jaxon and was so excited to see him when I flew back to detroit to pick him up from Taylors parents. And obviously they grow so fast and do so much, while we were gone, Jaxon starting crawling, and on occasion will say Dada!!! can you believe that!!! after spending the last 7 month saying mama several times a day, he says dada!!! but i have come to the conclusion that it is simply just easier for them to say it...lol..... atleast it maked me feel better!!!

So this is what i need help with. Jaxon has also discovered his legs!!! he now stands up in his crib and will not go to sleep for like and hour and i have to rock him to sleep, he also doesnt sleep through the night anymore because he just wants to get up and hold on to his crib and has not figured out how to sit back down, so he just stands and cries. I am so worried that he falls back and hits his head , which he has done already....twice......WHAT DO I DO??? any advice from moms out there who have dealt with this??????

Love....... and more.....

I feel like I have so much to be grateful for other than valentines day this month. my baby is healthy, my husband is doing great, and we are living the life here in California :)
I have been so demotivated to blog lately... who knows why, but I enjoy reading everyone elses blogs that I feel like I need to update ours to give my loyal blog followers ( Like 2)....lol something to read!

So a couple of weeks ago we went to Utah for the Platinum draft to pick a city and.....drum roll!!!! we are going to Buffalo, New York! I am still trying to figure out whether I am excited about it or not. I was excited at first, because it's New York...right?, but .. it's 6 hours away from New York City :(
I am most upset though that I am going to be the only Rep wife there....talk about a lonely summer, so if any of my fellow summer platinum wives want to make a trip to the Big Apple, count me in...lol. I do have Jaxon to keep me company though and he is getting so big, so I will be able to take him to do fun stuff!!

I remain hopeful about Buffalo!!!!

so... on valentines day i decided to take my husband golfing, it was my first time and i killed it..lol!! killed the poor golf course i mean, i was awful.

I did try look the part though, and as usual my husband looks so hot in his golf gear! We went golfing the friday before valentines, then on Tuesday Becca Burnside and I took the liberty of making reservations at the melting pot and then we told our husbands that it was their treat to us....lol.

And for the first time I had a baby sitter from the young women, which I said I would never do!!!, but it was fun to go on a double date without Jaxon, but I do love him!!!

At the melting pot!

And ofcourse, what would a post be without an update about Jaxon. He is getting so big!!!! I love making him laugh, he has started snorting and it cracks me up...!!! He can get on his hands and knees, but is not sure how to move yet, so we are going to have a little crawler on our hands soon:)

Jaxon will be 7 months next week!

Six months Later............

Then












And......

 Now!!!!


How bittersweet it has been to watch our little Jax grow. It is so exciting watching him learn new things!!! Jaxon is 6 months old today!!!!, He is so much fun, but has definitely found his vocal chords and loves to use them. He can now roll over both ways and rolls all over the place, even off the bed :(. He can sit up all by himself and loves solids, although he has been a little constipated and grunts all day. I am a little  nervous for when he starts crawling, he is going to be all over, he is such and observer and loves to touch everything and obviously everything he touches goes in his mouth...lol, and yesterday he started drinking from a sippy cup and is still not sure how it works, but he is eagerly trying to figure it out.


We are still loving it here in California and we are excited to be finding out where we are going for the Summer in two weeks, when we go to Utah for the draft. Not excited for the snow though!!!!                                            


                   

Just a cute little picture!!!

Taylor put Jax ontop of the staircase... so cute. Jaxon is sitting up all by himself now, which makes shopping and eating out so much easier. The car seat gets so heavy!!!!

its about that time!!!

So its about that time to update our blog. My little baby is down for a nap and i have a minute or two to spare so here goes......

We had a great christmas in Michigan, the whole family was there!!!. There were 14 of us for two weeks in Taylors' parents home. Our activities over the the break included caroling, games , Christmas eve dinner, great dinners every night, bowling, and a great Christmas day!!!! I did miss my family though, it was my first Christmas in a while being away from my family.

This is the whole family at the bowling alley.

An update about Jaxon!!!!

Jaxon has grown so fast in the last two months. He now is 5 months old...how time flies!!!

He is rolling over from his back to his belly and he is officially eating from a spoon. This week is his first week and we are on peas.....i don't know how babies eat this stuff. Jaxon also loves teething biscuits and did i mention that he has his two bottom teeth already!!!!

I love this little boy!!!!

Jax enjoying his teething cookie!!!! he loves these things!!!

Jaxon entertaining us!!!

besides all the little bits, we are currently in California for Taylor to recruit for the summer, things are going really well for him. The weather here is great which is one thing i don't miss about Utah, but i do miss all our friends!!!!!

Where does the time go????

So......... i finally have a minute to update our blog on the happenings of our lives since our little boy arrived. He has been such a great joy and blessing, He is three and a half months and growing way to quickly. I love watching him learn new things every day.  So much has happened since the last time i blogged that it would be hard to type everything, so i am attempting to update with pictures.......

Jaxon was blessed on Sunday 29th of August, 2010. Taylors' Family came to celebrate this special day with us!!!!

We spend a couple of days in San Antonio with my family. Jaxon got to hangout with his cousins Addison and Tavin.

                                       
We hiked the Y with Jaxon. Our first family exercise!!!!, I made it to the 5th turn and wanted to quit, it was the first workout since Jaxon, but my amazing husband cheered me on and we made it to the top. The view is amazing!!!!

We had a girls night out at witches night out. It was my first time and it was awesome, definitely need to make this a yearly tradition.

We decided to go on a little vacation to the sunny state of California. We got to see the San Diego temple, which is definitely my favorite temple.

We spent the day in San diego Sea world with the Burnsides!!!!!

Jaxon got his first experience of the ocean at Newport beach, The water was so cold, he was not very happy with us when we put his feet in the water.

Lol, this was in front of one of the beach homes in Venice Beach, "Worlds smallest front yard" I thought it was pretty funny.

We are now in Michigan till Thanksgiving and then we will be moving to California!!!! I am a little nervous about the move, but we are gonna make the best of it, at least I get to go to the beach everyday!!!
