Toddler Jax

Not so much new going on here, just working in the yard and working in general. So just wanted to make an excuse to post cute pictures of Jax. His thing lately - other than dancing - is dressing up. And he LOVES coloring. He can color for an hour straight if I give him pictures of dinosaurs. Also, he's been talking in his sleep the past few nights. It started with him yelling "wood!", I went in to check on him and he said "Granna, sit." (Granna is my mom). The next night he just yelled out "Crumpit!" (that's our new dog by the way...ok, so I do have a little to mention there). He gets it from him dad. If I haven't told you the story about Bryan talking about being sexy and successful in his sleep, just ask. :)

So we got a dog two weeks ago. It was kind of a fluke, but Bry fell in love with this English setter at the pound and we had to bring him home. He works me over. He peed in the house four times the first day (I kept forgiving him and thinking he wouldn't do it again...) then he peed on my leg and he pulled me into the dirt when I tried to walk him, still, he's cute.

Here are some cute pics of Jax, don't have any of Crumpit yet.















Jaxy and Jar drawing. Jaxy likes coloring at his own little table
















Coach and Jax watching "Just Haven't Met You Yet" music video. He loves it and asks for it - and that seriously wasn't my doing. Maybe I turned it on once, but who hasn't? My dad loves it.
















Jax in one of his many disguises. Towels are actually his favorite to wear. A very close second is the Buddy outfit from Bry's My Buddy doll. The pants are tight capris on Jax and the shirt doesn't fit over his head - and he loves it.

Jax chillin' on our bed. So much personality :) We love that kid!

Birthday girl

My birthday was last week but I told Bryan it wasn't over until the Buble concert (about a week after my birthday). I have a great husband to celebrate with me for a week. So the culmination of birthday week was the big concert! We were so lucky to win front row tickets to my most favorite artist of all time - Michael Buble - and it was so amazing! I never thought I'd sit front row at one of his concerts. And Bryan brought in his "Kiss my wife" sign (since that was part of how we won the competition), and Michael saw it in the middle of a song. His eyes got all big and he stepped back and smiled at me. It was really a fantastic concert, he was amazing live, and Bryan and I had so much fun. I'll never forget it! Thank you to everyone who voted, that was seriously so amazing. So, here are a few pics from the show, and a few cute ones of our darling Jax :)
















Oh my gosh, the stage is RIGHT BEHIND US!





















Pretty sure he was singing to me here.....





















This is not photoshopped...that close!!
















This is not photoshopped either, I came home from a church meeting and Bryan said, "I thought he was just drawing on the paper I gave him..."



In front of his new fish tank, we started with 12 fish, two frogs and three snails. 6 fish are still alive, they went shark on us and ate the snails and the frogs are holding their own. So nasty

Mo, Mo

"Mo" used to mean "more," now it's "no." He uses it so well!

Happy New Year!

Sarah, Brandon and the boys and Jax shoveling, he is loving the snow!




Just wanted to post a little about our holiday adventures. It was a great season, we had lots of fun with family. Brandon and Sarah and the boys came out for a week right before Christmas - so brave! Jax had a great time following around his cousins and poking at baby Jonah. He just stopped trying to walk down the stairs like the cousins too. (Hopefully we can buy ourselves a little more time there.) They got to be here for Bry's birthday too, so that was really fun. The guys tried to go fishing, Sarah and I got some shopping in, it was a great time. Thanks for making the trek guys! Then for New Years, we flew to Texas with all my family to see my Uncle T and family. It was the first time ever we've all been together, and we had a really great time! They are really wonderful hosts and we have cute, awesome cousins, and I can't wait to see them all again. We got to go the Alamo, which was neat, the riverwalk in San Antonio - a must see if you ever go there - and experience real Tex-Mex (not as good as Uncle T's cooking). Here are a few pics from the holidays.





Here we are at the Alamo, Jax liked the rocks, and below is Jax enjoying a Christmas sucker and looking like a mess.












Oh wait, I have to say that Bryan got me the best X-mas present ever, tickets to Michael Buble's concert in March! Yay. And... Jax was adorable opening his presents, he would rip off the wrapping paper in tiny pieces and throw them, so it took a while. Also, best wishes to my grandpa Miskell, hope you get feeling better soon. Also, I need to see if I can post a funny video of Shelby chasing birds..can't forget that.

Jaxy-isms

Here are a few dang cute things I don't want to forget about our crazy toddler...



Jax LOVES helping. Every time he see us open the oven he runs and puts an oven mitt on. He also helps with dishes, whenever I turn on the water he drags a chair to the sink.




He loves playing hide and seek. His favorite thing is to put things under his leg and then put his hands up next to his head (the "I don't know" sign) when we ask where it went. He can do that over and over...and he does! It's adorable. He's also a little helper right now. If (when) he spills he'll say "uh oh" and go get a towel and wipe it up.
His little buddy got water all over himself the other day and Jax ran for a towel and patted him down. He also loves his daddy (and shoes "doos") and will run to daddy to step on his doos when he gets home from work. He also is learning how to rip his clothes off. He didn't quite get it the other day though, got it over his head (the cute pic on the left) and then ran around patting his belly, it was really funny.

We love that kid! Always something...

Before and after

Also had to post what's been keeping Bry and me up until nearly midnight every night for the past week. Been busy painting! Bryan actually sprained his ankle the night we (I) started, so he watched for the first few days, but thankfully, was able to really help out in the end. We really like the way it turned out!

We do exist . . .

Here's what we've been up to:
Okay, I have no idea how to organize pictures on blogger - lame! So here's the descriptions: Far left, Dr. Jax on Halloween with Nacho Libre (Jaron) - too bad you can't see his nylons and underwear over them! And then Jax on the phone is at the Children's Museum in TX, where Uncle T took us. Below that is Uncle T! We love him and had such a blast visiting. And down below is the annual tradition of tagging a Christmas tree. Didn't take too long this year and we mostly agreed! It's lots of fun and we always go to the candy factory afterwards, which is also a great tradition. :)
