Getting Back on Track

Blogging has not been in my agenda for awhile now. I have been struggling to find time with everything that has been going on. Life is starting to slow down and I hope to get back in to the swing of things. These are pretty late posts and the ones that I have taken pictures with from my ipod I cannot figure out how to get them on my computer yet. Hopefully I can figure that out soon. This was awhile ago because Halee and Schyler were here for Christmas. We decided one day to go snowmobiling. It took forever to find a place that still had a decent amount of snow to use. But we finally found it and Daxen loved every minute of it. He did not want to leave and loved pushing the gas.

Daxen stopping Dad from coming into the room. Look at him stretch!

Racen Michael Stream. This little guy is adorable. We were able to hold him when he got home from the hospital. Love this little guy!

I was able to take pictures for CarolAnn's preschool class this year. It was great and it helped us out a lot. These two boys below kept the kids smiling and laughing with they cute shoes on. D was my first one to take a picture of to see how it would look. He is such a CUTIE! :)

A couple of weeks ago surprised Stevie's parents by building them a deck. It wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be until we got to the stairs! They are still coming along but for the most part it turned out really well.

Some of the kids on the deck.

Daxen riding a scooter for the first time. He loved it and I was pretty impressed at how well he did with it! Until Next Time. Hopefully it won't be as long! :)

IT HAS BEEN AWHILE!

I have been M.I.A. for blogging for awhile now. I have been pretty bad at it lately and I used to do it almost every week. I hope to change that and get back into blogging! Well to start things off we went to the electric light parade in Helper with Zeke, Allie, and Leah Atwood. It was fun to be with them and hang out!

Daxen waving to Santa. He was screaming out what he wanted, A BUZZ, A WOODY, A BULLSEYE. It was so cute to see the expression on his face and how excited he was!

It was time for our Christmas party that we have every year at my Grandma Neeley's house. It was crazy but a lot of fun. Daxen did so much better this year when he saw Santa. It still took a little convincing but he ended up doing it! He even ran up to Santa and gave him a hug when he was getting ready to leave.

Playing with Aunt Halee his favorite person!! He was very sad when she went home!

Sitting on Santa's lap. I kept telling him to give Santa a kiss but he was not about to do it because Santa's beard kept attacking his face!

This is how you eat a Candy Cane!

Christmas morning! This time is the best. I get more excited for Daxen then I do for myself or Stevie. I can't wait to see his reaction to his toys! He asked Santa for a choo choo train, buzz, woody, and bullseye. He loved them and Bullseye is his new favorite toy. He carries him around and has to sleep with him every night.

At Grandma and Grandpa Streams house. He got a cd player with a cd that has primary songs on it. He loves to sing and dance to them!

Opening Presents and Nana & Papa's House. His favorite toy that he got from them was a big wheelies toy. It is 2 ft tall and you send the race cars down. He too plays with this every day!

Uncle Schyler let Daxen wear his headphones and listen to music. He was dancing like crazy.

Gotta LOVE THE TONGUE.

Grandma Neeley's house. Daxen absolutely adores her. He runs up to her and gives her hugs and wants to go and play at her house all of them time!

Disney On Ice

This last weekend we were able to go to Disney on ice with my family. My parents were amazing and bought all of us tickets. We had a blast going to dinner, spoiled with popcorn, candy, and drinks, as well as toys for all of the grandsons! The show was a lot of fun and the expression of the kids faces was priceless. I loved watching Daxen and his reaction every time they came out. His favorite was Mickey. Every time he would go behind the curtain he would ask where did he go. The best was when he returned, without fail Daxen would yell....MICKEY and watch him and no one else. It was the best. If the video works at the end, it is the final dance for everyone and I recorded him just as Mickey was coming out to get his reaction. Needless to say it was a great experience and we want to do it again soon!





In the video he is pointing at Mickey! He is so excited that he found him!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween was great and not so great this year. We had tons of opportunities to go trick-or-treating except on Halloween. The weather was horrible and Daxen would not have lasted five minutes. We did however have a preschool trick-or-treat to go to and then my Mother took Daxen to the college for a Halloween party there, while I was at volleyball! I cannot thank her enough for all of the times she took Daxen for me so I could be a volleyball coach. Plus everyone else who helped make it possible, you are the best! :) Daxen decided to be a puppy this year and a cute puppy he was!

Carving Pumpkins for FHE

We had a blast carving our pumpkins this year for Halloween. While Stevie was making phone calls for work Daxen and I got everything set up. We printed off the Internet pictures we wanted to use for our pumpkins. Stevie's pumpkin was Frankenstein, mine was a mummy, and Daxen's was of course a Dog. He is going to be a dog for Halloween so of course he would pick a dog for his pumpkin as well. Things started out good with all of us getting the middle part out of the pumpkin. Daxen wanted nothing to do with that. He tried touching it but was not a fan of the gooey feeling. It was pretty funny needless to say. However, as we were carving the pumpkins, which Daxen wanted to help with but we told him this was for Mommy's and Daddy's only because of the knife, he decided to be braver. As you can tell he no longer feared the gooey texture of the pumpkin goo. He was all IN IT! He would get it all over his hands and rub it in his hair, on his stomach, and at one point he even put it in his mouth. We had that stuff EVERYWHERE. Did I mention I HATE I repeat HATE the smell of pumpkin (at least when it is coming from the pumpkin goo). It was all over him but I am thankful for Stevie who said he would clean him up! It did keep him entertained for the 2 hours it took us to actually carve all three pumpkins. I love the fact that Daxen is getting old enough to help us do things and be a part of it. He is growing up like crazy and there is never a boring day with him. I think our pumpkins turned out pretty dang good!

Happy Birthday Honey

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband. He is 25 years old today. I cannot believe that he is 25. Stevie is a great husband and I am so lucky to have him in my life. Our life started when we went on a blind date together and we have been together ever since. We were so fortunate to find one another and without him I would not be the person I am today. He gives me strength and courage to become who I want to be. He is always reminding me how he loves me and is so grateful for all of things I do. Stevie is a hard worker. Without a place to call a real office he spends his time at home working. We close the door and he goes to work. He works so hard to support us as a family and strives each and every day to make us happy.

Daxen could not be more proud of his Dad. He stays at the door and knocks at it just to have a hug from his Dad. Daxen cannot wait until his Dad gets home to play with him. Stevie is such a good Dad. He is so good to Daxen and I. We love spending our time together. We have a weekly movie night where we rent a movie from redbox eat our popcorn and enjoy our time together. That is one of my favorite times during the week. Because I get to be with him! :)

I am so proud of the person he has become and is continuing to become! He is the best husband and I couldn't have asked for more. I love you honey and I hope you have a wonderful day today!
