TAGGED- JAXSON & WYATT FACTS

Okay, here are a few random facts about our boys:

1. Jaxson talks a lot, and we can even understand most of it. He started talking pretty early, but one thing he has NEVER said is the word "yes". At first, he said "Oh Ho!" for yes (like a pirate). "Jaxson, do you want to go to the park?" "Oh HO!" Then, he shortened it to "ho", and now it is just "hmm". We have no idea why he does this or where he got it from.

2. Wyatt is so chubby that when he smiles, his cheeks smash his eyes closed. He also has more cleavage then me, not that that's saying a lot...

3. Jaxson's nicknames are Jax, J-dub, Jaxson-boy, and Wyatt's nicknames are Wy-guy, Super Wy (like the cartoon), and Wy-Wy.

4. Jaxson is obsessed with everyone's favorite color, or in his words, their 'best draw'. Once you tell him your favorite color, he never ever forgets it, and he'll bring you that color of crayon everytime he sees you. If you are unable to choose a color for yourself, he will choose for you (wyatt's is yellow, Jake's is green, and his blankie's is white).

5. Wyatt has a TEMPER. He is such a good baby, but when he gets mad, watch out! There is no in between, he's either happy and smiley, or really mad. We are in for it with this one, I can tell already.

6. Jaxson loves to sing and dance to music on my ipod. I have a playlist of songs from his favorite movies, and he loves to rock out to the Sheryl Crow song from Cars or the Chipmunks Funkytown. We also hear him belting out "you got a friend in me" (toy story) all over the house. That's the only line to the song he knows though, so it gets a little old after a while.

7. Wyatt thinks Jaxson is hilarious (see the video). It's so funny that he already loves to watch Jaxson, even though he is only 3 months old. Kids love other kids!

8. Jaxson's favorite treat is cherry tomatoes. He is a great eater, and I'm really picky, so he loves things that I won't even touch.

Okay, I tag MaKenna Rush, Madeline Rowley, and Braeden Archuletta.

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO DO LIST........Laundry, grocery shopping (always an adventure with a 2 year old and a newborn!), take Jax to the park, finish my book, and go to the gym.

I ENJOY..........Reading, shopping, crafty stuff, boating, traveling, and hanging out with my little family.

Do not be fooled...

by this cute little face! There is a terrible two-year-old lurking inside just waiting to do naughty things the minute you turn your back. So, today I thought I would take Jaxson to do something fun. We went to the library story time, and then to McDonald's for lunch. Everything had gone pretty well, no meltdowns so far. Then we were walking out to the car and he saw the Redbox, and begged me to rent him a movie. Since it's a buck, I let him pick one because it was nap time by then, and it wasn't worth a tantrum. Or so I thought...The movie he picked wasn't there (of course), so I picked him a different one (almost exactly like the one he wanted). When he saw the movie I had picked, he started freaking out. I just let him throw his tantrum while I buckled Wyatt in the car, until this man goes "Um, excuse me, but he just threw his movie in the trash can." Oh yes, the outside McDonald's garbage can, full of all kinds of wonderful things to dig through. NAUGHTY! I was so mad that I fished it out of the garbage and put it right back in the Redbox. Most of the time he is pretty good, but then the terrible two's make an appearance and remind me why they are called that!

Wyatt can't make up his mind...

Wyatt sometimes tries so hard to be happy when he is sad about something--it just cracks us up! I felt a little bit mean taking a video of it, but it is just hilarious!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

A few weeks ago we hung out at a cabin by Oakley with my family. Jaxson had a BLAST riding on the snowmobiles and sledding--he wouldn't come inside until his little hands were almost frozen, and even then we had to make him! We played guitar hero and ate good food the rest of the time. Wyatt was our little eskimo bundled up in his snow suit. Thanks for letting us stay at your cabin, Anne!

Potty Training

Holy cow. I had no idea how much of a challenge this was going to be! We bought a Buzz Lightyear guy as a reward that sat on top of the toilet for a month before Jaxson was ready to start trying. He was so excited to get to wear his elmo underwear and stop wearing diapers! After a couple of weeks, we have the potty part down great, but if anyone had tips for the other part, please send them my way! Anyway, I feel like I deserve a medal (or a vacation, I'll take either one).

Wyatt's Blessing Day

Mark blessed our new baby boy on January 6, 2008. It is always such a neat experience to see your husband do that! I bought Wyatt's blessing outfit one week before, but by the time sunday came, he had grown another chin and I couldn't get his top button to close. He is a cute little chunk though!
