Texas

So obviously it's been a while. Well, there is a lot to say. We moved to Texas about a month and a half ago. We wanted some warmer weather and it looks like we got out just in time. It has already snowed in Utah and is pretty cold from what I've heard. I think we came down on a bad year though, because it has been raining like every other day. This is the most rain Texas has seen since 1994. Daxton is doing good. He is starting to scoot around on the floor. He is even starting to learn how to put his knees up under him. It won't be long and he'll be crawling all over the house. He is 6 months already.....halfway to a year, I can't believe it. Todd just found a new job working for TD Ameritrade. He is getting back into the broker world. He will have to take his series 7 and 63 again so the next month or so he will be very busy working and studying. So far, the verdict is that we like Utah better. Texas is too busy and has way too many people (at least this part of Texas). They also have traffic EVERYWHERE! Even when we go out at night...there is traffic. Also, most of our friends and family are in Utah and even the better weather doesn't make up for that. I think we are just bored. We used to have things to do and people to hang out with and now we mostly just stay home. I guess I'm just bored. For halloween, Daxton is going to be a frog. His costume is so cute. I will put a pic up. Happy Halloween tomorrow everyone!

Daxtons first campiing trip

We went camping the last weekend of June to Flaming Gorge. We bought a tent trailer right before we went because it was supposed to rain and boy were we glad we did. It rained Thursday night, almost all day Friday and all night Friday night. Despite the rain, we had a good time and Daxton did awesome. He even got to wear his swimming suit.......He didn't swim at all, but he wore it :)

I am no good at keeping this updated...sorry

This year has been a whirl wind so far. Daxton is growing up so fast. He is smiling a ton and is starting to try to laugh. He has also found his hands and sucks on them like crazy. He is very strong and likes to be standing up or sitting up most of the time and holds his head up really well. He also loves to wiggle! He is getting a little bit older and things have been a lot easier. He actually slept for 6 hours at a time one night and is now consistantly sleeping for 4 hours at a time at the beginning of the night. It has been so nice. Anyway, here are some new pics. Hope you like them!

Just Wanted to Post More Pictures

Welcome Baby Daxton

He's finally here! He was born April 30th at 1:50 pm, 7 lbs 2 oz, 20 inches. The labor was really easy. I had him about 3 hours after I got to the hospital. The nurses were all amazed that this was my first baby. So far he has been an awesome baby and only cries when he is uncomfortable or hungry. We had his pics done on Saturday and as you can see, they turned out really cute. It's definitely been a huge lifestyle change and we are not getting much sleep at this point but it's all worth it. He is so adorable!

Just Waiting...

Well I was going to put up some new pics but my cord mysteriously disappeared. Anyway, we are just over 5 weeks away from meeting Daxton. Everything is going good. The baby seems to be healthy and I am feeling ok still. At the beginning of March, I went down to part time at work. I only work about 18 hours a week now. I think that has helped me keep my sanity and health. I work in a pretty stressful environment. We are lucky enough to have Todds job pay enough to keep us afloat. We go to our last child birth class tommorrow. I can't beleive it is getting so close. I am definately ready to be done being pregnant though.

Our beautiful baby!

This is a 3D ultrasound at 23 weeks. He is already so cute!
