Safe to say....


 Its safe to say that I have accepted I have made myself accept the fact that MY baby is now a big Kindergartner.  6 weeks into the school year and I am just making myself post these. I have a problem with him growing up.

  
 We took off to a local park and brought along some of his favorite books one afternoon. It was the first week of school and everything was still new and fresh and it was here, whether I liked it or not. 


This book has always melted my heart. And when we get to the part:
                                           I'll love you forever,
                                           I'll like you for always,
                                           As long as I'm living
                                           my baby you'll be.
Jaxon reads it to me. And its something that only him and I share. I couldn't be more proud of the sweet, kind, caring, young little boy he has turned out to be. I have forgotten all the nerve racking tantrums he once had. The food thrower he once was. The poop smearer. The sharpie on the wall artist. The restless little boy who I thought would never go to sleep some nights. The kid I thought who would never pee in the toilet. All of that was short lived and there are some days I long to hold the baby in a onsie that let me rock him to sleep. The baby that would play with my ear until he fell asleep. The baby that learned to walk by holding my hand and taking 24 steps around the living room in one evening. The toddler that feed me soggy cheetos and stole my cherry cokes. The toddler that learned his dad was his only hero and to this day he still knows that. 


He will never out grow a playground. His eyes will always be full of wonder. And he will always have a huge hold on his mom and daddy's heart!


All boy. All the time.


 HI MOM!! LOOK UP HERE!


Love this kid more than he will ever ever know! 


 Perfection.

Jaxon,
I know it will be years before I introduce you to this blog. Not really sure if you will have interest in what I wrote about you from the time you were a small little peanut to the young man you grew up to be. But regardless, these post are just a few things about your life I wanted to share. Things you were to young to understand had I told them to you. You can show your wife and kids one day. (After college and you have a great career of course!) :) You mean the world to me because I waited for you. I knew I was going to be blessed with a son. I just never knew I was going to be blessed with the best little boy God could ever create! You are such a blessing to your dad and I and I hope you understand that when I say I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK that I truly mean it. You definitely have always had a way and charm about you to turn my bad days into great days. My not so good moments of mommy-hood in to some of the most memorable moments I have every had.  I also hope you understand that I would do anything on this earth for you to continue to grow and learn and just be the terrific little boy that you are. The little boy that stole my heart the first time I heard his.

 Love,
Momma

Back to reality....

Our trip to Austin was a blast! I have decided that if we are ever able to return there, that I need to be in alot better shape!!! I was soooo tired and sore...from walking mind you!! I would lose 10lbs from all the walking and sweating and then gain 15 every time I ate!! There was never a dull moment on this little vacation of ours...we made the most of everyday. We were glad to return home to our chunky monkey though!! And glad to announce that he has stopped sucking his thumb since he has left aunt Jennifer's!! I wish could have taken a picture of how tired she looked when we got home, because I knew this would kick her tail!! But her watching them all for us (Jaxon plus the cat and dog) was greatly appreciated and I hope nothing scared her away!! Pictures and great stories behind them coming soon....probably this Sunday because we get the computer Saturday but we are going to the local Harley Davidson Party and I won't really want to mess with the computer after picking it...

a million and one....

i have always had an interest in photography. i have always wanted to carry a camera with me every where i go. And most of the time i think i will just remember what my eyes see. Forever. And i don't always remember. I want to capture things, in case one day, my son wants to see the world the way i saw the world. the way i saw him growing up. that is really all i have done is capture him over the years. but i have always wanted to turn that hobby into a part time job. a job that allows me to help families capture what they cant. moms aren't always in the pictures. so i want to make it my job and have moms in the pictures with their families.  I started my business in October of 2014 and since then I have captured a wedding, beautiful children, families, an engagement session and of course the countless pictures of my kids. we took Jill's 8th grade pics to a whole new level this year. and i cant wait to capture her high school years. i have 2 more weddings, an engagement...

Im going to take a break!

This potty training business is for the birds! "He will go when he is ready" is all people keep telling me. My response ..."He does go when hes ready...in his diaper!!" Maybe if we just take a break and not rush it, it will all fall together. Like him sleeping without being bundled, going to nap or bed without a bottle, feeding himself his food with his own silverware. All the other milestones in between that he did when ..."he was ready" Going to the potty is a big deal for kids. This little adventure has been stressful on him. Not just me and Josh. I mean...hes constantly having to take off his pants and diaper, either sit on the little potty or put his seat on the big potty, sit down and get comfortable, make sure everything is aiming where it needs to be.....for nothing! He laughs the whole time he is on there. Except if the seat is really cold. That doesn't make him laugh at all. So for now we are on a break from going to the bathroom all at on...
