Christmas 2008

We have a Christmas party at my Grandma Neeley's every year. Where we eat dinner and santa and Mrs. Claus come and visit! It is so much fun and Daxen wasn't to sure about his first experience.

His little hip starting to shack and everything..sad but we were all laughing at him.


Our fat chuncky baby!

Sucking on pure SUGAR....Candy cane from Santa

We spent Christmas eve and Christmas with Stevie's family this year and it was a blast! They got a wii and a wii fit for christmas. It was a lot of fun trying to beat everyone's score and being with the family.

Daxen and Crew! There are 1 month and 5 days apart(Crew is older). They are so cute!!

Daxen had his first opportunity to ride a snowmobile and go sleding! My Dad and I had to put him between us because he wouldn't stay on other wise. He didn't care for it to much because half of the time I was putting my hand in front of him because of all the snow that was coming up and hitting us in the face. We also sent Daxen down on a big hill by himself. It was funny and sad at the same time. He was doing great until at the bottom when his Dad tried grabbing him and he ended up face planting it into the snow. Dad picked him up and he wasn't even crying in fact he was licking the snow off of his face!

Getting ready....not knowing what is going to happen to him:)

Shake it BABY, Shake it!

Our almost 1 1/2 year anniversary

Today was a wonderful day. Stevie is such a wonderful husband and I am so thankful to have him forever:) Today started out just like any ordinary day with Stevie going to school, I worked out, straightened the house, started laundry and then headed out for Daxen's WIC appointment. Just a little on him he now weighs 17.1 and is 25.2 inches. I also ran to wal-mart for some things and then headed home. When I walked through the door I found poinsettias on the table with a little poem. I can't remember what it said but something to the fact "Come share with me a little treat" P.S Bundle UP. I bundled up and we were on our way. (Not to mention I have not had a chance to get myself ready for the day....hence the no make-up and pony tail) I hated not knowing where we were going. After going to Albertsons and Wal-mart for stevie to find something we ended up at Provo Park where Stevie asked me to marry him. He had the same dishes that we had there that day he proposed. Turkey sandwiches, chips, and cheesecake:) After we were done eating we laid there for awhile just talking and then he said "REACH INTO MY POCKET" which were the words he said when my wedding ring was in his hoodie pocket. I looked at him oddly and then reached in and pulled out a RING POP:) It was so cute. It was nice just to be with him for the day and remember why I love him so much! He is the greatest husband and I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks honey for making my day you are the BEST!!

Daxen with Santa...:)

A Couple of Things....

We had our ward Christmas Party last Thursday. It was in Aspen Grove and it was a lot of fun. Daxen however had a pooping session and it was all up his back. Thank heavens it was Dads turn to change him:)

After the Christmas party I could see a bunch of lights up on a hill and I love to look at Christmas lights so we went on a hunt to find this house. Well it took us about 15 minutes because we were right below it looking up at it and couldn't find a road. Stevie had the idea of going around the hill and then we found the entrance into the place where these houses were. It was amazing! Their entire yard was decorated. Every tree had lights! It was AMAZING!!

Stevie is now playing basketball on a Provo team. He loves it and looks forward to it every week. He is doing really well. They only had 4 players last game and the other team had 7 and they still ended up winning:) Daxen and I are the cheerleaders. He is a future Basketball player...can't you tell!

Stevie and I went to The Dark Night for the first time last week and LOVED it. It was a very good show. We took Daxen with us and he did very good (minus the poop all the way up the back)....mine turn that time!! I don't know what it is with him pooping all over the place but he sure does it a lot! Anyways our little guy is so good...half way through the movie he was DEAD asleep. He was not waking up for anything! He is such a good baby...and are so thankful for that:)

Our CUTE family

Thanks Bonnie King for taking our pictures you

are amazing and thanks Amy for fixing them!

BIG HELPER

During our visit to Price for Thanksgiving my Mom decided that we needed to set up the Christmas Tree. As you can see Daxen is being a very big help to Pappa Doug...making sure that he is watching where he is stepping! Daxen is now 5 months and is getting so big...his legs are chunky, belly, arms, cheeks:) Pretty much everything!! We love him so much and are so glad that he is in our lives today! Daxen also helps me change the speed of the lights too when I am under the tree:) Hope everyone had a wonderul Thanksgiving, I know we did and ate way to much food! Thanks to my parents I am able to work out every morning on their eliptical:)

WORK IT WORK IT

Our little Daxen is growing up so big. He is so much fun to play with and is doing different things every day. We are at my moms house and so there are some pictures that we took while enjoying our days being here! One of the pictures is a little old that we took at Amy's house just of the three BOYS!!


Working out:) Stevie wears this head band every time he works out, so we decided to put it on Daxen while he was getting his work out for the day in his Jumper!

Daxen, Dawson, and Carter! The three BOYS!

My sister Halee was taking these pictures and I love the ones that she got so I had to post some of them!

Update on Daxen

We went for Daxen's four month appointment on Oct 29. He got two shots and didn't like them at all....it was kindof sad because Stevie had to hold his arms down so he wouldn't move and then he started crying when they gave him the shot. Stevie hurried and picked him up and then he was totally fine...smiled at Mom and that was the end of it!

He weighed 14.8. I couldn't believe it. I thought he was going to weigh a lot more than that. I said to the nurse are you sure..and she said Yes of course. I was thinking whatever you aren't the one who carries him around all day in his carrier. But that puts him in the 45% in his age group.

He was 24.7 inches long which puts him in the 41%

He head was 16.5 inches which puts him in the 38%

I thought he was going to be a lot bigger than he was, but our little guy is right on track...just a little bit below average. So all of you who keep calling him big, he's not quite there yet:)

Halloween

I was over at Amy's house doing the normal:) Just hanging out. I went downstairs to play with Dawson and I came upstairs to find this. He was sitting in the corner all by himself! It was so cute. He was totally stoned starring at the TV. He is getting a lot better at sitting up by himself:) He also tried cereal for the first time and did pretty good. I couldn't get the video to load but hopefully one day it will work!

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

WINK WINK!!:)

Dawson as Nemo

Carter as Squirt

Daxen as a Lion

Daxen got the best of both worlds! He was able to be a Lion and a Tootsie Roll for Halloween! The night he was a lion was at Amy and Jason's Halloween party for their church. He was so cute. He really didn't like his mane, but we got a couple of pictures with it on him! He also was able to be a Tootsie roll, he of course didn't like the wrapper end that went around his head, but he lived:) He was so cute in it!!
