Sorry for the lack of posting.....It has been a busy week!!

We did go visit my friend, Eve, who had her baby boy on Monday. Him and Jaxon are sure to be Best Buds!!

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I ran around town trying to pick up a few last things to decorate for the Valentine Dinner at church that I am helping with.

As we speak right now, I am listening to the hum of the Cricut cut out 50 hearts for placemats, and 50 dinner cards for the place settings. Headed to church later to decorate. 2 Homemade cheesecakes are in the oven. Getting the chocolate founatin ready. Made a rose topary today as well.

Kylee and I colored Valentines for our friends, and made goody sacks one day this week.

Jaxon and I went to our Bible Study this week; Kylee went and visited Mamaw.

Went to our 6 month checkup will do a post about Apple Jax later on that, but I think we came home with something because poor Jaxon has the roughest little cold right now. Let's just say I resorted to driving him around in the car at 1 this morning. :)

Catch you later!!

BIG Week

We had BIG fun this week!!

Kylee decided to wear her BIG hair bow.

We roasted BIG marshmallows in the fireplace.

Kylee and I found these BIG marshmallows at Walmart, and Jason loves roasting them, so they were supposed to be for Valentine's Day, but somebody opened their BIG mouth..... :)

Kylee pushed around her BIG baby....

We all knew this day was coming..... The day Kylee would put Jaxon in her baby doll stroller, and pretend that was her BIG baby.

Poor Jaxon!! (At least he was buckled in correctly.....)

But, Kylee woke up this morning saying her tummy hurt, and has been sick on the potty several times this morning, so I am cloroxing the house BIG time in hopes that no one else comes away with it.

We have a BIG week coming up, with lots of fun things going on.

Tomorrow Jaxon turns 6 MONTHS OLD. We will go to our well check up this week, hopefully get back on track with our Bible Study that was cancelled, along with Awana, I am helping host a youth sponsored Valentine party at church this weekend with entails alot of decorating and setting up, and Kylee's really sweet friend Emma is going to be a BIG sister tomorrow. Can't wait to meet her little brother.

And a BIG thanks for all the help with my questions.

Of course, the day I post about Jaxon's problems, and with a little less than a week to go to the dr, he starts acting right...:) He has eaten some applesauce, bananas, and sweet potatoes, and choked down some green beans. He also seems to be more happy and content for short amount of times. Thanks for all the advice!!!

Kid Size

Well, since we're "in" to having kids these days, why not make a "kid size" snowman??

Doesn't compare to our 2010 snowman.

Remember this!!

But in all seriousness, there isn't enough snow right now to make a life size one.

So, Jason and Kylee made a "kid size".

We didn't get a "real" family snow picture this year because someone had to take the picture.

I guess this can count as our family snow picture

Pictured from Left to Right:

Kylee, Jaxon, Me, and Jason

Kylee wanted Jaxon to have a stick out of his head. And they made me last, so I didn't get any facial features...... And Kylee has an icicle stuck out the top of her head!!

Stay Warm!!

Questions for YOU

Question 1: Did anyone's else child at 6 months of age, cry for hours at a time?
In fact, I am so lost as what to do, I looked up colic, but it seems that colic is over by 3 months.

Question 2: Can you color that icing you make for sugar cookies? Like the homemade powdered sugar icing.

Question 3: Is it bad I know what I want Jaxon's birthday party to be in August? And Kylee's in September. :) And I like to look at party websites, sometimes ALL DAY!!

Question 4: Did anyone else have "phantom" pregnancy thoughts or flutters,after you had your baby? It happens to me......it scrares me. :)

Question 5: Did anyone have a child that wouldn't eat any kind of baby food/cereals or organic? Jaxon won't eat anything.....

Help!!!

Laminator

I mentioned earlier in the week, that I got a laminator, but was scared to open it.

Well, I opened, and USED it!! :)

The other day cricutmachine.com was having a awesome sale on this

"Your Story" Laminator and Bundle for only $25. It came with all of this.

It also Binds a book as well.

I laminated some bookmarks that say "love". It was super easy, and I really like how they turned out. Well, see how well the quality is after they are used for a while.

Except the last page, got crinkled. I guess I didn't hold it straight enough or something.


GRRRR.......

Have a great weekend!!

Sad

My heart is heavy for parents who have lost their child. This shouldn't happen.

Other the past week, it has happened 3 times to people that we know.

The last one is a dear friend of mine that I met in college in Phi Lamb, the christain sorority I was in. She had CF and was my age. They did a double lung transplant only like a week ago, and she didn't take it. She left behind her husband and parents. You can read her story here.

No matter the age, children shouldn't die before their parents. But because EVIL exists, sadly, it does happen.

Praying for these parents.

What?? Attitude??

We tried again at our Valentine Pictures, and we got one, decent one. You know how that goes. I thought trying to get a picture of Kylee was hard, but now, two kids is obviously, harder. And Jaxon's not the problem.....

I cracked up at this picture. This describes her personality so much right now. She is just learning so much, talking all the time using 2 full sentences in a row, and learning a little attitude. She likes to whine, throw herself on the floor, and stomp off. All reminds me of my days growing up, and it seems that either Brianne or I were still doing that sometimes in JUNIOR HIGH because we couldn't go somewhere, when EVERYONE else was going to be there.

So, with that, I don't think it's going to end anytime soon. But we are learning that is not the way to act. It seems that girls are so much more WHINEY, and DRAMATIC.

Speaking of talking in 2 full sentences. She said this 2 days ago.

For example: My tee tee hurts mommy. Do you want to see?

Well, I guess. Since I usually ask to see it anyways. :)

When talking with Jason, and they are acting silly MOST of the time, she will raise her hands, like "i don't know". It is so cute.

But, for some reason, lately, she totally thinks she is IN CHARGE of Jaxon. She wakes him up, she got in big trouble for that. She takes his pacy out, and brings it to me, and says "he don't need it. " Even though he's screaming, crying because she took it away. I think he needs it, sweetie!

The other day we left our CBS bible study, and we were in the car, and I was asking her what she did in her class. She told me we ate goldfish crackers and raisins, and we played, with baby dolls.

And "I didn't get a spankin'!!"

She cracks me up!!
