Halloween Booger Man......

Okay Jamers, you gave me this idea! Here's Jax's Halloween past, the whole 2 years! He's seriously the cutest thing living on this planet and always will be! Can you tell the kid has an attachment to his bink? You just wait this year though...... you thought a frog and pirate were cute! You're all in for a real "treat", ha, ha, ha! I'm lame-o!

Happy B-day to me and mom and gramps and......

Happy 29th to me and ...... I don't know if mom wants me putting her age on this since she's sooooo old! Lol! I love you mom and love sharing this day with you and GRANDPA! Best grandpa ever! He's turning the big 8-6 this year, what a trooper! It's lame that I'm doing a post for my own birthday I know! We had so much fun, went to ghetto Italian Village then to the Haunted Village. Much scarier last year but it was fun to go with the whole fam. Mom didn't pee her pants, shocker, Em and Lara did a good job of jumping out trying to initiate the peeing, didn't work, what to do? We would've all liked to have had that happen, maybe next year. It was memorable! Thanks everyone for you splendid gifts!

General Conference......

I love, love, love, General Conference and all that it stands for! These past sessions were awesome! My fav was Elder Wirthlin's talk on making the best out of the situations we've been handed in life, "come what may, and love it". His message was so touching to me and came at such a perfect time in our lives. I'm sure everyone watched conference ALL DAY Saturday but if you didn't get a chance to hear it, it's definitely worth taking the time to read. http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,89-1-947-9,00.html

Family Pics......

We finally did it! Pics with Tom's family! My favorite...... Emma's hilarious cheese face! In seriously all the pics, I love her! It was a great time, not something I look forward to EVER, but they turned out! At least we got one with all the kids looking! Here are a few of my favs! Thanks Randi, we love you!

It's a Girl......

We're sooooooo excited for Amy and Casey and their new little one, what a doll! She's definitely post worthy! Jamee and I drove out to see her today and she's just adorable! Not to mention their new house, Amy I hate you cause your house is so cute! You guys are going to be the best parents and what a lucky little gal! We all love you and wish you the best!

Well hey there......

I can't believe it's been a friggin month already, where does the time go? Life has just been sooooo busy for us this past month. Jax is doing awesome in everything, I'm so proud of him! He's being a little better in school, not hitting anyone as far as I know, but getting him to sit and pay attention, that's a different story. I'm just so thankful for the efforts of his teachers who take the time to care, I know results will come! His signing and language is coming along, slowly but surely! But most important is it's coming. I'm reading this awesome book called Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew, such a great book and an easy read, anyway there's this line in it that says, "There is no short-cut to any place worth going", I love that! I truly feel blessed to be where we are and am so proud of all of Jaxson's "what might seem little" accomplishments. I love you son!
As for Tom and I, if we keep going at this rate, we'll die at age 40. We just keep holding out for landscaping to be over and school. And lets not forget to mention the dreaded month of October at Gardner Village. Yes, yes the witches are out and that means swarms of women and their costumes! Why do I do this to myself year after year...... We are super busy but happy!

School Days......

Our little booger man is off to preschool! I can't believe he's in school already! It'll be so good for him to start young, he's so capable of learning so much, even at this age. When I went to pick him up the teacher wanted to talk to me so I'm thinkin, "crap what did he do already"? Well come to find out he had a little issue with throwing things and hitting the teacher for making him sit in a chair...... Apparently we need to work on a few things at home! What's a parent to do?
