Little Jaxon is Home

Jaxon came home from the hospital a few days before Christmas and is doing very well. Natalie and the boys are confined to the house now that RSV season has started and will be there for the next few months. This past weekend I was able to hold my nephew for the first time in almost two months. This precious little boy weighing a total 4 1/2 pounds is so small but quite the fighter. I have to say it was weird holding a baby again even more so a baby so small. I think Jaxon and the baby doll Chaia was given Christmas weighed the same and are the same size.

Here Comes Santa Clause

Last night we went to a Christmas Party and our favorite guest showed up. Everyone was happy to see Santa and sit on his lap, except for Chaia.

Zoo Lights

Last night we went ventured into the cold night to see the lights at Hogle Zoo. Despite the bitter cold we had a great time. I had heard from numerous people the animals are a hit or miss. They are active and fun to watch or sleeping. Unfortunately the majority of animals we saw were sleeping. It was a little disappointing but the lights were pretty. The zoo recently built a carousal, this was the highlight of the evening. Chaia had a minor melt down when it was time to get off the ride. This morning she has been talking about the elephant and the other animals she wanted to ride. I foresee us going back to the zoo again very soon to ride the carousal.

Instead of taking pictures and watching I should have encouraged the girls to stop what they were doing, right? Well... the continuous squealing and laughter was so fun to hear I couldn't help myself.

Thanks Mom

I would like to take a moment to thank my mom for all she does. With out fail if you ask her to do something she will. Even if she has spent all day taking care of Grandma, cleaning the house, watching one or all grandchildren or driving people around the valley. She doesn't think twice about it and just does it. So THANK YOU!!! Oh yeah, if it wasn't for my mom I wouldn't have my cute blog too. Love you Mom!

Thanksgiving

This year I hosted Thanksgiving at my house, can we say "CRAZY"! It was fun to have all the family together this year. I spent three days cooking and made an insane amount of food. Needless to say we have been eating leftovers since and have more to go in the fridge. I don't think I will be eating turkey again until next thanksgiving. A big Thank You to eveyone who brought food, ate and helped clean I really appreciate. It's funny everyone gathers around the television on Thanksgiving, I never thought in a million years we would all be playing Guitar Hero. It was fun! Love you all.
