Growing so big!

Jaxon is almost 3 months, and I'm amazed at how fast time has gone. He has been such a good baby so far and last night slept most of the night with only 1 nighttime awakening. What a happy mommy I am!! Here are a few words from Jaxon!

"Look, I'm getting really good at lifting my head up while on "tummy time."

"I just recently learned to read the newspaper; this is interesting stuff!"

"Daddy is super comfortable, and I love falling asleep in his arms."

"Carter still tries to lay on me and give me lots of hugs and kisses. Little does he know, that I might just be bigger than him when I grow up!"

The first snow!

So first I have to apologize and admit that I've been a blogging slacker lately! I guess I could blame it on the holidays or just the fact that I feel like I'm getting less and less creative every day.

We are excited to be back in "real" winter weather. I miss being able to take walks in the middle of winter like I could in AZ, but winter really is not complete without snow. This post is a little late in the making because our first real Utah snow was actually 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to post these pictures nonetheless. Carter loved playing in the snow and my favorite moment was when he got down and made a snow angel. You would think he really was in heaven. Grandpa graciously watched Jaxon, while we all played. My mom and younger brother, Cody, even came out and played with us in his boots, shorts, and bare legs. Matt saw an opportunity at hand and tackled him immediately. I told Matt he was a brat, but Cody admitted that it was his fault for not dressing "appropriately" You would have to know Cody to understand that, but on the other hand Cody wears basketball shorts year round, so go figure. We hope you all enjoyed your first snow as much as we did!

Jaxon's Blessing

We blessed Jaxon on Sunday. We are so grateful that so many of our family and friends came to share this day with us. Here are just a few of the pictures. Jaxon slept through the entire brunch before the blessing and then was really content for the pictures. He got a little fussy at the first of the blessing but then calmed down once they started bouncing him. He looked like a little snowball, which was fitting as it had snowed the day before!
