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.

It's Snowing.....Again.

Playing in the snow for the first time :)

He was having a hard time moving because his snow suit was WAY too big. It will probably fit him better next year.

Christmas

Playing on the pool table at Grandpa and Beths

We actually had snow for Christmas!

Christmas Eve, Daxton got some new PJ's

We had a really good Christmas. It is so much funner with a kid that we can spoil, even though he isn't old enough to know what's going on yet. We actually got snow for Christmas here in Texas. We were saying before we moved that it would be perfect to have snow for Christmas, but for it to melt right after, and that's exactly what happened. It was pretty cool. Daxton wasn't too interested in the presents. He mostly wanted to get down and practice his new skill.... crawling. Overall, it was really nice. Kind of weird not having most of the family around, but really good anyway. Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas.

I will post some more pictures after today is over, but Daxton started crawling yesterday and the day before so I thought everyone would want to see it. Merry Christmas!

Here's to Another Year!

December 10th was our 4 year anniversary. The last year has been amazing and a lot has changed. We have an adorable little boy for one. We are both loving being parents. We sold our house and moved to Texas. We will be back though. You never know for sure until you try... right :). Todd changed jobs and by the way, passed his last test to become a stock broker again today. Congrats Todd! and yeah for me cause he doesn't have to study ALL the time anymore. I quit my job to be a stay at home mom. Also, we moved to Texas so I couldn't really keep in anyway. Overall, it's been awesome. We are having fun and are still so much in love. For our anniversary...... ha ha ha, we went to Chili's. Todd tried planning a romantic evening but I accidentally wrecked the plans by saying I would rather go somewhere cheap so we could save money. Woops! Oh well, we had fun anyway. I think it's more about enjoying each others company than how much your food costs anyway.

On another note, Daxton seems to be learning sooo fast. The last few weeks it's been one thing after another. I swear he's going to be walking before we know it. He has learned to sit up, stand up to things, drink from a sippie cup, drink from a straw, and is learning how to eat finger foods. If he gets the food between his pointer finger and thumb, he can get it in his mouth no problem, but if it gets stuck anywhere else on his hand, he can't get it to his mouth. He gets so frustrated. Very cute! Here are some pics of Daxton showing off his new skills. This first one, he is trying to climb the gait. He climbs EVERYTHING!
