Family photos on Sunday

I am so super excited for Sunday. We have a photographer to take our family photos. We are also going to have her do the boys individually and together and Jaxons 2 month photos. Seth wants to get one of me and him together and a bunch of all of us together. We are meeting her at my moms to get Jaxons pictures taken inside with her props and curtains and stuff, then we are heading to the Layton Park to get a bunch of fun ones:)

I got my hair done this weekend and i'm getting my nails done in the morning. We went shopping last night for outfits. We got us all cute outfits that coordinate with eachother Navy blue and white/gray and jeans. Then we got the boys a few extra outfits to change into for individual pictures and a couple different shirts for Seth and I. Seth and Memphis got new shoes, and we still have to find new shoes for me and Carsen. We found cute new jeans for the boys and going to Buckle tomorrow to get Seth and I a new pair.

I have so many ideas of what I want taken, but I'm sure she will have even more. She said we will just take a few hours and take a million pictures and then she will edit them and post them online and we can pick which ones we want and what sizes. We have never used an actual photographer, we always went to Kiddie Kandids, but since they went bankrupt we haven't gotten any taken and we have just taken Jaxons (but we've gotten some VERY cute ones ourselves).

Oh... I just can't wait. I am so stoked to see how they turn out. I am going to order a huge family picture and get it framed nicely for above my couch in the living room! She is going to take one of just me and the boys to give Seth for Fathers Day. I thought we would buy a Matte for the frame and I will let them put their handprints on the Matte and write him a message. I am so excited. Oh I can't wait!

I will post pictures as soon as we get them! It should just take her a couple days to edit them and get them online!

House full of Strep!

Monday morning Carsen said he had a sore throat. I gave him some tylenol and sent him to school. After school his little face was beat red and he was so hot. He went to the doctor and he has strep. Then on Wednesday Memphis woke up with a fever, went back to the doctor and sure enough, he has strep to. Thursday I started to get a sore throat. UH OH! Were all going to have it soon:) I bought the boys all kinds of popscicles and sprite and soups to make them feel better. I even bought them both their own bottle of chewable tylenol (they felt so special). I hope we are all better by Sunday for our day out with the photographer:)

Jaxon SMILED!

What a fantastic day! I woke up this morning and as I was getting ready for the day, Seth was laying on the bed with baby on his chest. Daddy was sound asleep, but Jax was wide awake looking around. I went up to him and kept talking and being silly and everytime he would smile so big, he even laughed one little laugh. He did the same thing to Seth yesterday! His smiles are no longer gas, its a true happy smile! Cute little guy! His smile is so big and precious i'll have to capture a picputre of it and upload it! He will be 2 months old on Wednesday!! I can't beleive it.

Memphis' 3rd Birthday Party!

On Wednesday April 7th, my little Memphis turned 3 years old. He is growing up so fast, I can't beleive it.

He wanted to have his birthday party at the bowling alley, so we planned his party for Thursday so Grandma Stewart would be off work and could come. On Wednesday we let him open one present from us and saved the rest for his party. Seth baked him a cake for his "real" birthday and we had a little family party on Wednesday. He got a tornato golf set and he just loves it! It's a cute little toy.This is the toy (that is not Memphis in the pic)

It was finally time for the party, so we got all loaded up and headed to the bowling alley. We got everything set up just as all our friends and family started coming. We paid for everyone to bowl and play arcade games. It was so much fun to see all our friends and family trying to bowl (even his grandparents bowled at their ages lol). It was hectic, but well worth it. There was so many people there, we had to get 4 lanes for everyone to fit! He was so happy all his friends and family came. We ate cake and opened presents. Boy the kid got spoiled here is what he got:

Monster truck crash track- mom and dad

Monster truck race track- Mom and Dad

Soccer ball- Carsen

Gone fishing game- Jaxon

Punching bag- Carsen and Jaxon

Helmet and pads- Aunt Amanda

Sorry for anything I didn't mention, I just put the things I see in front of me. Thanks everyone for coming, we had so much fun and appreciate everyone taking the time out of their evening to make his party special:)

On Thursday afternoon I went to pick up his cake at Walmart, I get there and the man is still working on his cake, so I shopped while he finished it and when I went back to get it, it was a FULL SHEET, when i ordered a quarter sheet and it looked AWFUL. I was so mad. It didn't even look good enough to bring if they gave me it for free. The manager came and said how horrible it looked and that all the bakers were gone for the day but what could he do to help me? LOL I said make me a new one. He said well, all the bakers are gone but my wife decorates cakes and I've watched her for 25 years so I am sure I can make it look better than this. He said to give him 30 minutes and he would redo it and give me a bigger cake for the trouble. I came back to get it and the cake was PERFECT! I can't beleive how good he did. It was so nice of him to offer to do it over. I was very happy with the service I got. I was so sad when the CARS cake he really wanted looked like a pile of mud!

Afterall, his party was perfect! I even heard a rumor that him and his friend Camille are going to get married lol. Usually they just beat eachother up, but yesterday they were best buds!

He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me, He loves me not......

First of all I have to say that Seth is the sweetest person ever. We usually don't do much for "eachother" on Easter. Usually we just throw all the extra candy and stuff in a basket and leave in on the counter. Well... not so much this year.

On Saturday afternoon, Seth went to the store to rent a movie. He came home with a vase full of a dozen roses and the cutest little stuffed animal. It is a little chick coming out of this little cute egg and of course my card:) Well then on Sunday morning he went to get gas and he comes home with yet ANOTHER vase of red roses and a cute stuffed chick!! He said "yesterday wasn't Easter so I had to get you something today" lol what a special man.

I decided to make Seth an Easter basket. I got him a gigantic SOLID chocolate bunny (b/c its his favorite). I decided to make him a naughty basket, so we won't go into details about what was inside of it but it was cute and funny. Oh yeah, and I also put a red bull and some candles in it! Oh.. and a bag of his favorite sweetish fish!

I have the best man in the whole world!!

Easter 2010

We had such a great Easter weekend! We started the weekend by coloring egss on Friday night we colored almost 50 eggs!! I bought a egg machine that you drop colors of die in and the machine spins and it tie dys the eggs. We had so much fun.
Sunday morning the Easter Bunny came and he brought the boys baskets fun of toys and candy and he also brough the 2 older boys bikes! Memphis got his first big boy bike with training wheels and Carsen got his first real BMX bike. They were both so happy! On Easter afternoon, we went outside and let them ride their bikes around and then we packed up and went on an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma's and Papas. They had over 100 eggs for 4 kids to find. It was so much fun, I wish I was in the race! We got done with the egg hunt and we all went out to dinner at Golden Corral. It was nice to see the family and sit down and have a relaxing dinner with everyone. Easter 2010 was one of the best ones yet! I do have to say,it was very hard to make hte baby a basket since he can't do anything and pretty much has everything so here is what I put in it! I put a stuffed bunny in the middle, a touch and feel book of animals, a rubber ducky for the bath, rattles and I can't remember what else!
