Jaxson Turns 1!



Although Jaxson's official birthday is April 6, we celebrated a day early on April 5.  We thought it would be easier to have a celebration on a Sunday as opposed to a Monday.  I also had to go to Houston on Monday, so it worked out.  Initially we were just going to have a family dinner, but I changed my mind a decided to have a party with family and friends.  We've had such a wonderful year with our little guy, I didn't want to short him.  So the evites went out and I was able to order all the paper goods from evite which was awesome.  Planned the whole thing in like 10 min.  We got the cake from Merritt's which was delicious.  They were able to decorate the cake to match everything.  We had our usual group of pals over.  We are so blessed to have these people in our lives to celebrate our happy time with.  

The highlights of our year with Jaxson include getting to see how much love he has brought to our home.  Of course we love him so much but it is also amazing to see how much Jamison loves him and how much he loves Jamison.  He isn't walking yet, but he's a pretty good crawler.  He is a garbage disposal and puts away everything we set in front of him.  He and Jasper fight over toys.  The only word he knows is "Da Da."  Can't wait to see what the next year will bring.   

Snowy March



Can't believe the snow fall that we're getting.  It's the end of March.  I've spent most of my life in OK and the last time it snowed in March it was at least early March.  I think the best weather we've had this year has been in February.  We had to stay in the entire weekend, it ended up not being so bad.  Fish had is wisdom pulled so we were going to be in anyway.  We're  definitely ready for spring, 4 males in one house going stir crazy is not fun.

Krispy Kreme Field Trip April 2009






Jamison's preschool goes to Krispy Kreme every year for a field trip.  I was out of town last year, but I was able to go this year.  I've never been to Krispy Kreme and now I know why.  I don't think I could stand being in a place that smelled so good without being able to partake on a regular basis.  Everyone at the shop was incredibly nice.  They gave the kids a behind the scenes peek at what it takes to make a donut.  Starting from the yeast and flour that goes into the donut, to making the dough, to the cooking process.  The gave each kid their own donut to dip in chocolate and dip in sprinkles.  Not sure which part Jamison enjoyed the most, decorating or eating.   If I were able to partake in donuts, I would go there everyday.
