Thanksgiving and Snow

We had a great Thanksgiving, and it's been super cold here. We have had lots of snow already, and with Todd out of town so much, I've been doing a lot of shoveling. Daxton loves the snow. Now evertime he says outside, he adds "burr". He is getting so big and learning new words everyday. A couple days ago, he wanted some candy so he climbed on my lap and says, "candy, please, yes." While he said it, he nods yes and smiles his big missing tooth smile.... How can you resist that. Needless to say, he got some candy.

He's getting dressed up to help mom shovel.

He has figured out how to get into our utensil drawer. They are all over the house now. :(

Ya, that's ne trying to sled down the hill in our yard on a cooler lid... it didn't work.

Daxton, me, and Titan

All bundled up

This one turned out a little blurry, but I love it. He loves to be bundled up on the couch with his cup to watch his cartoons.

Halloween

I was going to write one update but I have too many pictures, so I'm doing a few. We had a good Halloween. Daxton sort of got the idea after a few houses. It was cold and rainy, but still fun.

Daxton was a monkey. It was pretty cute!

Cousins

I love this picture. They all look sooo excited, don't they. :)

Carving pumpkins with dad

Playing in the gew with mom.

He was scared of this at first... guess not anymore. LOL

and I had to add the "crazy face" picture

Daxton's idea of decorating a pumpkin..... Legos. :)

Summer!

Well, its been too long again. Just a quick update, Daxton is walking, climbing, and getting into everything. He is also starting to say words like thank you, doggie, dada, no, no way, duck, and hi. Todd got a new job at Carstar collision repair as a cost estimator, and I am pretty sure I will have a job with the post office as a mail carrier as of Wednesday. Our summer has been a busy one, but we've had a lot of fun. Can't believe it will be over soon. Here are some pics for you all to see. Hope you enjoy.Showing off for the picture

Found on the cob, and LOVES it.

Happy 4th of July

Camping again.. so messy

4th of july again

Dad hurt his back and had to hang upside down. Daxton thought that was hilarious.

Swimming!

Easter!

Time for an update. We have our computer up and running and I was able to add some new pics. Easter was a blast. I love having a kid that I can watch enjoy holidays like that. I am really looking forward to the summer. It's hard to imagine right now with about 4 inches of snow on the ground, but it is coming soon. I can't wait to take Daxton swimming and to the park. I think camping will even be nice. As most of you know, we have been in construction mode on our new house since we signed. It has been a ton of work, but we are soooo close to being done and it has all been worth it. The house is exactly what we wanted. I think we will be here for a loooong time. :) I would love to never have to move again. I only got a few before pics cause of all the craziness, but I will post those along with after pics when everything is done. In the meantime, here are some more recent pics. Mostly from Easter. I can't believe my little boy is getting so big!

We Closed Today!!

We closed on our house today! Now we just have to completely remodel it. Thats all. :) It will be a lot of work, but we did the same thing with our last house in Clinton so we know how it goes. I kind of like that we can take a house that is all run down and turn it into something really nice. It feels like you've accomplished a lot when you see the finished product. I think everyone might go to Wendover this weekend to celebrate. Dan and Jenny came home yesterday so the celebration would really be because of that, we just have 2 things to celebrate. I am so glad they are back. They are some of our best friends and I love their kids soooooo much, just as much as my own. Daxton was sick this week and still is coughing and has a runny nose, so it's nice to have something like this happen that kind of cancels out the hard week with a sick kid. I will probably try and post some before and after pics of our house. I AM SO EXCITED!

Back in Utah

So, it's been a while and most the people who read my blog already know that we moved back to Utah. So, we already found a house that we are in the process of buying. It is in Kaysville. It needs some work, but that's nothing new to us. We are way excited to be getting into such a good neighborhood for the price that we are. It really is a steal. We are just waiting for the appraisal to be done then everything is set. The loan is already through underwriting and everything. We are just getting anxious to move in because there is so much to be done, we just want to get started!
Daxton is doing well. He is getting so big. I swear he said dog the other day sometimes when you tell him doggy, he'll say "dogga", and of course he says the traditional mama and dada. He always tries to copy sounds too. Like if I tell him to sit down when he is in the bath tub, he starts saying ssssssi sssssi. Oh, and he has turned into quite the climber. :) He LOVES climbing stairs, darting for them every time I turn my head, and he tries to climb into the bath every time you start the water. He is so adorable!
I've noticed I don't post a lot of pics of me and Todd, I'm going to try to get better at that. We'll see. After having Daxton, he is just so cute that we don't get around to taking many pics of us anymore.
This one is old, but it's a start right. Oh and I am thinking I might color my hair blond again. Needing some opinions.

Cute New Wave

I got this really cute video today and I couldn't help but post it. He has learned how to wave, and has been dancing. It is so cute! He just starts bouncing when music starts to play.
