Poor little Jaxon and his icky tounge.

The other day I noticed a little white dot on Jaxon's tounge, I obviously wanted to get it off, but I wasn't putting my finger in his mouth (clean or dirty). So I figured it would go away, well the next day there was more little white dots and today his little tounge looks like cottage cheese. The doctor said he has "Thrush" which is an infection in the mouth from a milk diet, so she called him in some meds and told us to brush his tounge with a baby tooth brush and it will go right away. It is starting to be sore for him to suck on his bottle, so we fed him cereal for lunch and he ate it just fine and is sleeping in his swing nicely. I am going to go get him some pedialite to make sure he stays nice and hydrated. Poor little guy.

Mommy and him are both feeling icky today. I woke up dizzy and lightheaded and been throwing up. I hope it passes today so I can have a fun weekend and not spend it in bed! The weather is too nice outside to be stuck in the house sick! I am determined to feel better FAST! AND.. whatever it is, I hope I don't pass along to the boys. I just hate when they are sick.

Jaxon learning new things!

My little buddy is getting so big! He is starting to like his little toys, he is smiling and even starting to laugh. When he gets really excited, he kicks his legs and throws his arms all over and makes all kinds of silly noises!
In the last few days, he has been copying what we say. I will say Awww, and he will make a noise with the same tone/flucuation in his voice. I love when he does that, it's so stinking cute!
When he sees us eatting he gets excited and his mouth starts watering and he sticks his tounge out. He is so much fun! He is about to eat his rice cereal for the first time tonight before we go to bed, maybe he'll have a full belly and sleep through the night better! Although, he does good. I put him to bed when we go to bed and he wakes up at 3 or 4 for his binky and then he sleeps until about 5-6ish depending on the day. I'm happy with that, but I think if I give him some cereal we can bypass the 3am wake up! We'll find out tonight!

Happy Mothers Day!

I am sad to say that this lovely Mothers Day is coming to an end. I had the best day ever! Seth woke up early with the kiddos and let me stay in bed (which he does everyday anyways) BUT... not to long later, the boys all brough me breakfast and flowers in bed. I started eatting and what do I know, Seth brings me in a jewelry box, it was a beautiful key to your heart diamond necklace. I LOVE IT! I actually saw it in a add and didn't say anything about it and come to find out, thats what he got me. It's funny we have such the same tastes.

Later in the afternoon, Carsen brought me a book he made me. It's very special! And some fresh cut flowers from his Nana's yard. Then.. A little while later, all 3 of the boys brought me another jewelry box. This time I opened it to find a cute little Mommy bracelet. It is a bracelet that has these little charms hanging on it and each charm is a symbol of each son. For Brayden, it's a little angel, Carsen is a bike, Memphis is a bowling pin and ball and Jaxon is a little baby craddle. It's so cute and fits them all perfectly!

Then, after our FaNtAsTiC dinner Spagettios and meatballs (my choice!) they got me the BeSt oreo cookie ice cream cake. It was so yummy.

I had a very relaxing day. I enjoyed spending the day with the love of my life and my beautiful perfect babies. They are so special to me and nothing makes me happier than to have them around. I love all the little words that come out of their mouths. I love to hug them, hold them, kiss them, love them and raise them to be the best little guys ever. If it wasn't for my boys, I don't know where I would be today. They have made me who I am and I am very thankful to have such cute, happy and healthy kids. I consider myself very, very blessed.

Happy Mothers Day to all other Mommmies!

The best thing anyone has called me is "Mommy" and I can't wait until my little Jaxon says "MaMa" for the first time!

Thank you Seth, Carsen, Memphis and Jaxon for a great Mothers Day and most of all, for being who you each are. You are each so very special to me in many ways. I love you each for who you are and for loving me back! You guys are the greatest!

Our Family Picture Day!

First, I must say that last night as we left my parents house it was the worst storm I have seen in a very long time. It was not just raining, it was sleeting:) It was so nasty, I thought for sure our pictures today were going to have to get postponed.

I woke up this morning and first thing I did was look out my bedroom window and what did I see... PUDDLES of water! Dang it! I was so bummed. I text the photographer (who lives in Toole) and asked her what she thought we should do. She said lets give it a few hours for the sun to come up and see if it drys up the puddles and gets warmer out. So we did just that. We got ready and at about 11am, Amanda text me and said the sun was out and the puddles in Layton were gone (since we were doing them at Layton Park). So we planned on meeting at 12:30 at my moms to first, take Jaxons pictures alone inside!

We started taking pictures of Jaxon right at about 12:30 and she took some dang cute pictures. She had all kinds of different cute baskets, buckets, backgrounds and things for the ground. He looked so cute, I can't wait to see them!

When we were done with Jaxons pictures, we all went to the Layton Park to get family pictures. We got there at about 1:30 and she just started placing us in trees and on bridges and in the grass. It was so much fun. The boys loved climbing the trees and of course giving her the silliest smiles they could! She took lots of our whole family, lots of the boys together and lots of Seth and I alone, and some of me with the boys and then some with Seth and the boys. At the end she took pictures of Carsen and Memphis tackling Seth for the football, and then them tackling eachother! It was seriously so dang cute! I can't wait to see them all finished.

Her husband was with her and he was helping her hold up some big round disk things I guess to add more light and make us "glow" or something and sometimes it would make bright lights go in Memphis' eyes and he was so cute when it would get in his eyes. He was so goofy! She brought big golf balls and other props for their individual pictures, it was so cute. Memphis just loved the big golf balls and thought it would be fun to throw one... OOPS! It broke! So, if anyone knows where you purchase those kinds of photography props such as giant golf balls.. Please let me know so I can buy her another one! She wouldn't tell me where b/c she didn't want me to replace it, but I need to. It was a true accident, he didn't know it would break... but still.

She took literally hundreds of pictures! I got to see some of them on her camera screen, and they were awesome! She is going to be putting our photos in her portfolio on her website when she gets done editing them! She really did a great job! Her and her husband both!

So if anyone needs pictures taken, she did an awesome job! She was truely amazing and the best part is that we all had fun doing them! Her husband was great playing with the boys while Seth and I got ours taken alone.. the kids absoluetly loved them both!

I'll be posting our photos as soon as I get them back!
