Merry Christmas!

We have been very busy around here lately. We are so excited that Christmas is Friday. Jaxon has gotten really into the Christmas season. He loves talking about Santa, looking at lights and Christmas trees. He also loves watching Christmas movies. He keeps pointing at the trees under the tree and says, "Santa bring, Santa bring." I love him so much, I love the Christmas season so much more now with him in our lives. We are so lucky and blessed to have him.

Christmas Cookies...

We had the neighbors, Paul, Amy and Ava, over about 2 weeks ago to decorate Christmas cookies. Ava and Jax had a lot of fun. It was neat seeing how different they decorated them. Jax had sprinkles everywhere, all over the table all over his clothes, just everywhere. Ava barely had a mess. Ava was very precise and Jax was not! They put so much icing on some of them that we were not sure if they suitable for human consumption. lol! However we ate them and they were good and the kids had fun!

Christmas Decorations.

I am so excited about Christmas this year. It was so much fun to decorate the house and to start putting presents under the tree. John and I can't wait to see Jax on Christmas morning. Jax is getting a bunch of art stuff, books, movies, a new hockey set, a huge remote control dinosaur, a play doh set and a crayola glow in the dark color tablet. John is so excited about the hockey set and the dinosaur. Jax has become quiet the little hockey player so he is ready for new set. Then we are heading to FL the morning after Christmas to see my mom and family.

Feeding the Ducks...

Yesterday was the perfect fall day. So I took Jax and Caroline for a walk down to the "lake". There were 2 white ducks and Jax was so excited to them. The last time we went down there none of the ducks would come over. The whole time we were down there he was yelling "ducks ducks, I see ducks momma!" We fed them some bread and Jax helped himself to some bread. It was a great little outing!

Just like my daddy...

As Jaxon is getting older he is more and more like his daddy! Not only in his looks but his interests. He loves technology, computers and John's iPhone are his favorite. He also LOVES hockey!! He begs to watch hockey and he plays it all day long. He just loves it! He is actually really good for a 2 year old.

Two for one...

These are two random pictures of Tony's costume for Halloween.

There are 2 blog entries here this time. The first set of pictures are Jax and Daddy sharing some of the Halloween candy. Jax has officially discovered candy and he LOVES it! Chocolate it his favorite...Just like his mommy.

These are from this evening at the park in Mt. Laurel with our neighbors, Amy and Ava. It has been so nice to have another mom I can call, hang with and go places with. I really needed it! Not to mention her little girl is so cute, so sweet and Jax absolutely loves her. Amy was going to take pictures of Jax tonight but as usual he was uncooperative...he hates having his picture taken. These are some I got from my camera, the trees are so gorgeous. I love this time of year.

Notice they are all of the back of his head, he will not look at the camera or he is always on the go.

Trick or Treat...

We went Trick or treating last night in our neighborhood. It was so great to see all the kids dressed up...well all the kids except mine. Jaxon refused to wear his costume. He was supposed to be a T-Rex. I was so disappointed, but we had fun anyways trick or treating with the neighbors and their little girl. Ava was so cute dressed up as a pirate princess. They trick or treated for about an hour and they did so good. They ran to each house Ava would say trick or treat for them and they would get their goodies and on to the next house. It was so much fun watching them.

This is the only picture I have of Jax in what was suppose to be his costume. I took him to Sears for a quickie photo shoot. This is a picture of a picture so it is horrible. But the scanner would not work.

This is the third pumpkin we (I) did because our other 2 died before it was Halloween so I did another one so we would have one for Halloween.

The first house we went to. No one was home. They need to turn off the lights!








Checking out all the goodies.

Halloween...So Far...

Last week we bought our pumpkins and carved them. We wanted to go to the pumpkin patch but between the rain and us worried about John's back on the hay ride we figured it would be better to sit this Halloween out. We bought our pumpkins at the store and came home to carve them and Jax want NOTHING to do with it! He took one look at the guts and said, "ewww". I sat some next to him in hopes that he would touch and then he would want to participate. No luck. he touched it with the tip of his finger and starting screaming "ewww" and made me wipe it and didn't come near us the rest of the time. So, John and I had fun carving the pumpkins and Tony baked the seeds. Over all a great night! We can not wait till Saturday...more pictures to come!

Riding in Style with Uncle Jason...

So Jax and I went to FL last week (on Wednesday Sept. 30) to visit my mom(MiMi). Well on the Monday before we got there she was admitted to the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath, doctors thought she was having heart problems again. Thank God she is fine and all the test came back normal, but at the last minute my brother drove up from Fort Lauderdale to visit and check on mom. So he picked Jax and I up from the airport. Well my brother owns a limo company and came straight from a job. So he picked us up in the limo. It was hilarious! I was so embarrassed, but at the same time I had a blast with Jason. We hardly ever spend time together without kids running around everywhere. So it was nice to just have a conversation with my big brother. We HATED each other growing up and he was relentless in his teasing but now we are very close and I love it! Anyway, Jax sure made himself comfortable and was sleeping with in minutes of leaving the airport.     

Where do you draw the line?

When we moved to this house it was for more space. More adult space, more space for Jax and more space in general to spread out. Well Jax has quickly taken over the porch, the living room, 2 rooms upstairs and every night I am taking an arm full of toys out of mine and John's room to put back in his room and/or play room. Well now he thinks he can play in the refrigerator. This where I draw the line...lol!  

*Please ignore the ugliest PJ's on the planet he is wearing. He takes his clothes off in the middle of the night including his diaper and once a kid hits size 2t it is hard to find one piece PJ's that zip and that are not flannel or that heavy fleece.
