Our Little Guy is 2

Blogging has been the last thing to do for me lately. With us moving back to Price things have been crazy, oh and if you didn't know we are back in PRICE!! :) It was a quite a last minute thing and we wanted to be moved out as soon as possible! We are loving being close to family and have finally got (almost) everything put into its place. But other than that our little boy Daxen turned two on June 25. He is getting so big and we love everything about him. We went out and took his 2 year old pictures and he did really good considering all he wanted to do was play on the slides. I promised him over and over again if he was just take one last picture we would let him play over there:) Some things about Daxen:
1. He loves playing with cars, any type of cars, he takes them and lines them up and then when he is done lining them up there he takes them to another part of the house and starts all over again.
2. His Dad is his favorite person in the world.
3. He is talking a lot more and our favorite thing to do is have him say the prayer for us.
4. He is 32 1/2 inches tall and weighs 23lbs. Percentile 13th for height and 6th for weight. Short and Skinny.
5. Daxen loves being at either grandparents house. He is always asking to call Nana, Papa(Both g-pas are called Papa), and Grandma!
6. His favorite thing for breakfast is PANCAKES. He asks us right when he wakes up, pancake mom, pancake mom.
7. He loves being outside and would stay there all day long if we let him.
8. He loves playing with animals and is very happy that we have two cats that now live next door to us, so he sees them whenever we leave.
9. His favorite movies right now are cars, monsters inc, and the bee movie. I am not why he likes the last one so much but he loves it.
We love our little boy and he is growing up way too fast. We enjoy every minute with him and love that we can start doing more things with him! We love you Daxen and are so grateful to have you in our lives.

The Next Best Singer.....

When I clean or do laundry I always am listening to music and singing. I taught Daxen to use a microphone (pretend things that could be a microphone) for singing. He is so cute and yesterday he decided to really just sing with the song. The first video he really isn't singing but just being loud because the song is loud. But it still is singing to me. The next video he does a little better at getting some of the words out! He is so cute, and I love being home with him and capturing these moments on video:)

A fun night of sword fighting and exercising

This is what we decided to do tonight. Daxen is getting so big and doing a lot more things. He loves playing with his Dad and doing everything he does. He is the cutest when it comes to working out with us. He does push ups, runs in place, stretches, kicks, and a lot more. He is the best boy and such a joy to have in our lives. There is never a boring moment with him, he is always doing new things and making us laugh. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Ryan's Last Day & Lake Powell Trip

This last Sunday we were able to spend time with Ryan before he left on his mission. He is leaving today and we will miss him. Papa Doug read a story about a young boy who grew up to be a missionary. After that we played pin the tie on Uncle Ryan. Nana Kaye then gave each of the boys a pictures of them and Uncle Ryan, along with the a countdown for his mission. She gave them a box to start putting money in for their own mission as well. It was a great day and we enjoyed being able to spend it with Ryan.

The Lake Powell trip was a blast. We loved every minute of it and enjoyed our time being together.

Stevie wants me to put "can you guess what I am saying" well I didn't say what you think I said but it was FREEZING and I really didn't want to get in the water.

Stevie wake boarding. Isn't he AMAZING!! I love my hubby.

Jumping off the rocks. It looks like he is standing on the one behind him but he really is jumping.

BEAUTIFUL!!

I love this picture :)

They played PIG behind the house boat. They were all FREEZING but were all troopers.



What Stevie did to keep himself warm. If you stayed at the top it wasn't so bad, so he always had his feet up.

FAMILY, ANIMALS, AND A FIRE

We had a great weekend at Grandma & Grandpa Streams. Tiffany and Brityn were able to come and visit for a girls weekend. We were able to see TONS of Animals and Daxen loved every minute of it. All the kids had a blast everywhere we went. We also were able to play outside when it wasn't raining on us and Papa Stream built us a fire where we made us some smores.

We first were able to go and see pigs. I had NO IDEA how big they could get but they are HUGE. The kids loved it, especially the baby pigs.




All the kids that were there.
Back Row: Brityn, Taija, & Dace
Front Row: Daxen, Jaceleigh (Spelling???), Bronx, and Crew

I love this picture. These three boys go hand in hand. They like to follow one another and do the same things. They are all close in age so they have a lot of fun together. The best part is they all love their PAPA. When one starts yelling PAPA they all start yelling PAPA. They all want to be right next to him, holding his hands or being on his shoulders. They are little lemmings as Stevie would say.

We then went to see pygmy goats. They kids were able to feed them. Bella the one that let us feed her the most is the one in the pictures with Daxen. He loved it and and kept saying her name to get her to come and eat the food out of his hand.





Finally getting a chance to play outside.


Then the kids went and rode a horse. Daxen did not want to get off. He kept getting confused on whether or not it was a cow or a horse so he said both!


Being happy in the Car.

Then the kids went to see a baby lamb. They were able to feed it and pet it. Daxen followed suit from his older cousin Dace who climbed up on the fence to look over at the lamb.



We came home and went outside by the fire. It did however start raining on us again but we got through it. The smores as always were amazing. Daxen's had a little dirt because he couldn't control the stick.We did end up giving him a new one. :)



Needless to say the weekend was a blast and we are glad that we were able to spend time with Tiffany and Brityn.

WHAT A DAY, WHAT A WEEK

This past week has been very busy and fun. We first were able to go to the Wave Pool. Stevie didn't have a lot to do with work so we decided to go. Daxen wasn't for sure if he liked the water or not but he did end up loving it and being in the tube with Dad and Ry Ry.(This is what Daxen's calls him)

Right before the big wave came to take them away.

By the expression on his face I am not so sure he liked it.







Daxen playing with the tubes my mom bought for the grandsons.

We celebrated Mother's Day at my mom's house on Saturday. My family being a fan of the minute to win it game show we decided to play some of the games that they play on the show.
The first game is blowing the ping pong balls from one cup to the next. The pictures turned out pretty good and we had some good laughs about those who did not have a strong enough blow to even make them move.












The next required vaseline and cotton balls. You have to put vaseline on your nose and then dip your head in the bowl and shake off the cotton ball into another bowl.
My dad looks like he has a big SNOT BALL! haha...gross



The next game uses poker chips and four bowls. They use m&m's on the game but we didn't want to make a mess. You have to place all colors of the poker chips in the bowls in order. You can choose which way you start but if you put the wrong color in the bowl you are out. BLUE, RED, GREEN, WHITE is the order. You have to continue the order and do one at a time without placing the wrong color chip into another bowl.


Oh ya...and I got a hair cut. I love it!! It is something very new because I have had my hair the same way FOREVER!!
