First Haircut!

Here is the journaling: Jaxon’s first haircut was 11/13/08. Grandma Judy met us at Kid’s Hair and Darlene Olsen cut it for us. Darlene gave Jaxon bubbles to play with while she cut, and he also learned how to blow them for the first time all by himself! What a day!

November Snow!

Here is the journaling: On Monday November 3rd it was near 70 degrees outside. We went to the park and played. Only four short days later on Friday we had our first snow of the season that stuck. It melted by mid afternoon so you and Mommy rushed outside in the morning to play in the white stuff. It entertained you for only about 20 minutes and then we had to go inside because your hands got cold. That’s what happens when you refuse to wear your mittens! I just loved watching you play with snow for the first time. Last year you were too little to play in the cold wet fun.

Cute pups

This was one of my assignments for a class and I thought it was cute. There's a couple typos I have to fix before printing. I know!

Fall Leaves

We went to the cabin this last weekend to take some fun fall photos and visit the winery. Here is a layout I did of Jaxon playing in the leaves at the cabin while Daddy and Grandpa tried to rake them.

Another Labor Day Layout

Jaxon outside in October

I've been trying to get some pictures of Jaxon in the front yard scrapped. There just aren't enough hours in the day. I'll try this week to get a few more otherwise I'll just post some photos. I'm pretty excited I learned how to recolor portions of a photo today like the one seen here. Hope everyone is doing well! Love you!

Another Layout

This is a labor day picture, but I turned it into a page about me.

Labor Day Weekend!!

Here is my first Labor Day layout. I liked the way this one turned out, but I'm quite excited to get sheila's pictures for some more fun layouts.

Some of Mer

A couple of my favorite layouts I completed this month. A little pink since I'm in them! :)

Painting the trim

In case some of you were unaware, we are getting a new roof and siding this fall. In anticipation, we have been getting our house cleaned up. The whole family painted all the trim on the house one weekend. Even Jaxon helped.

August is a beautiful month for golf

Grandma and Grandpa went golfing with Ian and Daddy. Afterward everyone came over and G & G gave Jaxon a golf lesson. Can you guess what Uncle Ian did? Yep! Took a nap!

August Zoo Month

We went to the zoo a few times in the month of August. Fun times!

Paige's 5th Birthday

Well.... At least I can be trusted to update the blog at least once a month.

Here ar some layouts I created for Paige's birthday party. She had a petting zoo and pony rides. Jaxon didn't like riding the horse too much. Maybe next time.

Zoo Day!!

Dinner with Harriet and Michael

Here's a couple of pictures of Jaxon and the dogs swimming on July 25th, which was dinner with Harriet and Michael. We all had fun!

Paige and Eva photo shoot

Paige and Eva came over for a playdate and we took some fun outside photos.

And Jaxon was playing with his new "toy" the toiletpaper roll.

Dinner with the Bergstedts

I've started doing some digital scrapbooking as well as paper scrapping. Here are a couple of layouts I did from the night we had dinner with Aunt Gail and Uncle Jim.

Here's a cute layout of Jennifer and Jonathan.

Jaxon playing with Grandpa!!

Ethan's 1st Birthday

On July 17th, Ethan turned one. We went to his birthday party on Sunday the 20th.

Here's a picture I took of Jaxon at the party. He looks like he's thinking hard about what to do with the golf ball...... :)

Here's Ethan eating his cupcake!

Eating with a spoon!!!

We've started letting Jaxon self feed with a spoon. It's pretty messy and he gets tired of it, but he's got the concept down. Here are a few photos.

Father's Day weekend

We visited Grandma and Grandpa in Sioux Falls before heading to Yankton, SD to camp with the Koupals for father's day weekend. Here is Jax and Grandpa eating breakfast.

Jaxon playing with one of the girls at the campsite. What a couple of cuties!

Here is the watergun fight. Look out Derek!!!

Memorial Weekend

We went to the cabin for Memorial weekend. We enjoyed hanging with Dwight and Judy and the Hoiseths. It was Dwight's Birthday celebration. Also Cassie and Madison came up the first part of the weekend with some of their friends from Louisiana. Ian and Matt joined us for the second part of the weekend and Matt had a birthday as well. Ethan enjoyed his first boat ride, and Jaxon did not enjoy his life jacket at all. He loved the sandbox at Cabin Bar though.....

put the lime in the coke you nut!

Here are a couple pics of Jaxon eating lime over the weekend. I know it looks like he doesn't like it, but he keeps eating it for many many more pictures.... Too funny.

Boyz in the yard

Here are Ethan and Jaxon playing in the yard on Thursday the 15th. They were wearing unplanned matching outfits that day, and it was beautiful outside, so I brought my camera for an impromptu photo session.

Madre Day

I got sick on Saturday before Mother's day, but we did go out to brunch. It was quite tasty and you'll see Jaxon agreed. I was out for almost a whole week with this strange virus, which is why I'm so behind on these posts. Anyway, it was a realxing weekend at the cabin, but hopefully next time we all stay well.
