Baby Jaxon turned One!!!





















My baby turned one!! I can't believe it..this is by far the fastest year of my life, much like a blur. But, I'm happy to say he is still a baby, even if only for a minute. I had to correct the Dr as she referred to him as a toddler last week.




We celebrated his birthday with Kennedy his "twin cousin". We had a monkey themed party, it was so cute! We made monkey invites, took their one year pics with monkey shirts, decorated with mod monkey decor, banannas, and stuffed monkies, and ate bananna splits and bananna cookies for dessert. I know it was a bit much, but I needed a party to be creative and use my right brain a little.




Jaxon loved the cake and at one point had three spoons going, while Kennedy cried and wouldn't touch hers. Besides our friends and family joining us to celebrate, the best part was Troy coming out in a bananna suit!! Yup, he did, and it was hilariuos!!! What a good sport, did I pick a good one or what?




After the party, Brookie split her head open and told the nurse at the ER that her Daddy wacked her in the head, awesome. In my disbelief, I had to remind her to tell the nurse that he wacked her with a BALLOON and then she turned around right into the chair. Then I looked like I was promting her story. That was great. Needless to say, what a fun and tiring night. And Troy, I'm sure Jaxon appreciated the gesture as much as I did and all of my friends will be jealous their hubbies don't look as hot as you in a bananna suit!!

Better late than never!!

Ok, so I promised I'd post their Halloween costumes for Grandma...never mind it's almost February! Anyways, it was really cute...Jaxon received the nick name "Jack Jack" at a very young age, so we thought that would be the perfect costume for him. Since they have had themed costumes for 8 years (I know I'm crazy), everybody got to be a superhero based off of what they love to do. Except Gracie, she was just herself, "the Gracynator". If you'll look close, her shirt says, "These toys...are mine!!" and then the toys are glued to her pants. She is also sporting the bloody nose, lip and cheek. If you know Gracie, you'll know why this was so funny!
Jaxon cried in his costume, but I think that's mostly because he was mad I made him wear tights!
FYI, Brookie struck the pose in her individual picture all on her own, with no prompting by me...a small cause for concern of her parents. We have no comment at this time.


My baby boy turns one next month...I promise to send recent pics then!

New family Pictures...finally one with Jaxon in it

So I have a dear friend, Sarah Wehkamp, who is starting a photography business, and needed to build up her portfolio...what a better chance for her to see if this is what she really wants to do then to shoot my five kids at once??? She did a fabulous job! Here's the latest family pics!




















Check out her blog, http://www.thewehkamps.com/!!

And here's some pics of the kids from a photography Expo in Dallas...it was really fun and the girls loved the attention. Not so much Jaxon, he just wanted to eat the rocks!








So much has happened in the last few months, I'll spend some time on vacation writing it all down!
