Happy, smiley boy!

Jaxson is already 7 months old! He is full of laughter and smiles. He loves showing off his two teeth. He gets around by scooting and rolling so everything is free game for him to grab, even daddy's TV equipment and the boys WII controls - WATCH OUT, HERE COMES JAXSON!

Big brother Cameron thought it would be fun to put his ni-night over Jaxson. First he was stunned, but then realized that this was Cameron's idea of playing with him - Peek-a-b00 Jaxson!

Maybe there will be a swimmer in the family after all!

Our Anniversary!

Its been 10 wonderful and eventful years since we got married and sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. What started out as our little family of two has definitely grown in the past ten years. We have truly been blessed in so many ways and we look forward to many more great times in the future. Its the greatest feeling knowing that you are with your best friend for eternity and that our family is eternal. Even with the little added chaos that life brings and the delight of raising 4 busy boys, we are as happy and in love as we were 10 years ago, if not much more. We will be celebrating our anniversary in October with our great friends in the Bahamas, and we are so excited.

Fruit puffs, yum!

Mommy, what did you just put in my mouth?

I am okay, just gagging a bit ...

Beach Day!

The Milius Family came to visit from Utah so we spent some time at the beach. The kids loved the beach even though the waves were too big to really play in the water.

Soak City

We took the boys to Knotts Soak City and spent a fun day with The Dow's. We kept cool in the lazy river and enjoyed going on the water slides. The day ended with a great dinner at Red Robin where we could eat all the fries we wanted and the boys could be their not so quiet selves.

Jaxson fell asleep before we put the life jacket on. He fulfilled the requirements for the "Lazy River" without any problem. :)

The younger boys watching on as their older brothers venture on the bigger slides.

Brayden - 11 yrs old

Our big 6th grader! Starting junior high has been more of a adjustment for mommy than Brayden. We are so proud of him. He has begun the new school year on the right path. He enjoys his classes/teachers and is involved in the band again this year, moving from the trumpet onto the french horn. His drive continues on with sports, golf and soccer being the new ones at the present time. He loves being busy and active outside with his friends, especially with his daddy. He is an avid Angels Fan and is supporting his team with hopes of the playoffs in mind. He also loves playing the WII. Brayden is definitely our competetive one! We love his competitiveness and determination.

Landon - 9 yrs old

Landon is in 4th grade now and has not only made the transition into the upper grade, but also with attending a new school. It's been an adjustment for him with challenges along the way, but he has a great attitude and is doing well. Playing baseball, hanging out with his friends, riding skateboards and jumping bikes off of ramps and curbs are on Landon's hobby list. Oh, and don't leave snacking off the list. :) He is our tough, yet sensitive one. When you need a hug, you can count on Landon.

Cameron - 6 yrs old

Jaxson - 3 yrs old

Those big blue eyes and dimpled cheeks melt our hearts. He just started preschool and is absolutely loving it. He gets his backpack and clothes prepared the day before school :) Jaxson is taking after his brother Landon. He is a comedian and acts gooney just like Landon did at a young age. He is also a big competitor like his big borther Brayden. He is awesome at baseball and can't wait to play. He loves any outdoor activity and has amazing energy. He always has a smile on his. He is so fun and he loves all of the attention he gets from his brothers and Papa. His happiness is contagious to all who are around him.He is a joy in our lives and mommy's buddy.

Megan - 1 yr old

She has been the highlight of our lives this past year. We are all enjoying the many new things she is doing. She is growing way too fast. She is such a good baby. Her cheeks, thighs, and buddha belly prove she is a great eater. She is a snuggler and a cuddler. All you have to do is look at her and she smiles. She has a voice and she loves to babble. Her knew sound is ba-ba-ba and, of course, da-da-da. She gets everything she can get to and is everywhere. She is walking and trying to be a climber. It is so fun watching her walk around with a baby doll in one arm and a litle purse in the other. She just has two teeth. She is definitely loved and spoiled by mommy and daddy, but also by her big brothers. They have given her the nicknames "pretty girl" and "Megs". She lights up when she sees them.
