Fun with Nana and Papa!

Jaxon is very lucky to have his grandparents in his life. Here are some pictures of the fun activities he gets to do with them.

Jaxon is becoming quite the cook thanks to his Nana.
Here he is making a pizza.

A trip to the Museum of Natural History.

Playing with some homemade play dough.

Adios diapers!!

About a month ago I decided to start potty training Jaxon, well it only lasted for about a day. Then this last Sunday I decided he was ready after I noticed that he would tell me every time he was peeing and asked to be changed. So on Sunday morning I put him in some underwear he wasn't really sure what to do at first and had a few accidents, but after his nap he got the hang of it and hasn't had an accident since!!!! We even went to a basketball game last night and he told me every time he had to go. I though it might be too good to be true, but this morning he woke up dry and pee'd in the toilet rather than his diaper! He is so smart and I am so proud of him.

My friend Faye

Jaxon has a new BFF. He and Faye have become fast friends. He is constantly asking me when he can play with his friend "Faye". Last week we went over to Faye's house for a play date that consisted of making cupcakes for her birthday party, playing some games and giving their dog a bath. Jaxon had so much fun.

Miss Faye eating a yummy cupcake.

Jaxon frosting one up.

Bath time for Kobe.

An intense game of Operation.

The following day we went to Jungle Jim's to celebrate Faye's 4th birthday.

Jaxon was quite the slugger when it was time for the Pinata.

This picture cracks me up. We didn't even know this girl, but Jaxon needed someone to ride with.
Jaxon was finally brave enough to go on the roller coaster. I went on it with him and to my surprise he liked it so much he made me ride two times in a row!!!!

Good Old Sue Rich!

This past Friday Jaxon and I picked up Dexter from school and went on a little adventure. We started by dining at Jaxon's favorite restaurant, McDonald's. Once we all had our fill of the white trash in the McDonald's play land we decided to stick with the white trash theme and went to Sue Rich Bowling Alley. For those of you that aren't familiar with Sue Rich let me assure the place is sketchy at best. When we pulled up all the lights were off, but we decided to try the door anyway. The door was unlocked so we went in and yelled hello, to our surprise the guy who worked there came crawling out from behind the lanes. We asked him if they were open, he said that they were (could have fooled us). We ended up having the whole place to ourselves and we had a great time. Jaxon even ended up beating Dex the first game!

Ok, so I only beat Jaxon by 2 pins, but at least I beat him!!
For the record Dex beat Jaxon the 2nd game.

Discovery Gateway

As a state employee I have a few perks (I used to have more, but thanks to the recent budget cuts they are becoming few and far between), anyway I had this last Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. My mom and I decided to take Jaxon on a little field trip to the Discovery Gateway. Jaxon had a great time and was exhausted by the time we left.

My Mom took Jaxon to the Museum of Natural History last week as well, she got some good pictures of him with the dinosaurs that I will post soon.

Potty training!!

We started on the potty training endeavor this past weekend. I decided to do it in baby steps, so we just do it when we are home. Jaxon has been really excited about this for two reasons;1) he gets to run around naked (he hates wearing clothes when he's home) and 2) he gets to play with bubbles every time he makes it to the potty. So far so good, I think he is getting the hang of it. It will be nice to be out of diaper, not because of the cost but I am sick of carrying them around.

Got to love the briefs!!

2009.....

So, I have been getting some pressure to update the blog, but when I went to upload pictures I realized that I haven't taken ANY since Christmas!!! I guess it's time to make a New Year's resolution to take more pictures this year.
More posts and pictures to come.....
