• Which character or star? Rudy and then later on, Olivia Most embarrassing moment your friends will never let die? Of course, when I've peed my pants. In particular, probably the time in 7th grade when all our friends were at Chucky Cheese's and we were all doing a train down the biggest slide. Well I was laughing so hard, and the space was very confined, so my legs were up on the top, like giving a moon shot, and I accidentally peed. Instead of it being Jen or Julie in front of me, who were used to this kind of thing happening, it had to be one of the boys, Nate Blackshurst. I don't think I've scared anyone that bad before, the look on his face was indescribable!

Pet Peeves

So this is kind of random, but the other day Ryan and I were talking with my brother about funny little things and some of our pet peeves. We were first talking about peanut butter and whether crunchy or creamy is better?! Then Ryan brought up the toilet paper roll. All of us seemed to agree that having it over was, no question, the way to put it on. It's funny, though, someone mysterious that comes to grandpa's house always puts it under when they change it, we haven't figured out who it is yet. :) I decided maybe I would do a poll and see what kind of results we get with different opinions. I don't know if it is just me, but I really notice it bigtime if it is under! I guess it's just one of those pet peeves of mine.Kind of interesting, but fun!

Day #4 and counting!

Does anyone notice anything different in this pic? Yep, Noah is without his binki! He has gone without it for four days now, and is doing great! I really wasn't sure if this day would ever come! Last week we misplaced it somewhere and haven't been able to find it. I was going to just go buy him a new one, but realized he was doing fine. He's been sleeping through the night and playing throughout the day, not even missing it. Occasionally he will come up and tell me that it is lost, but then goes right back to what he's doing. To me, it's one of those "end of an era" type things and reminds me how big my little guy is getting! Who would of thunk that after buying the "Bye Bye Binki" book, thinking of cutting off the tip, mailing it to "babies who need one" etc, just simply losing it would do the trick?!

Jaxon's 1st Birthday Party!

On Friday night we had a little party for Jax's birthday. It was a really fun night! We first went to Steph's basketball game where Jordan was in the semi-finals and then came back to the house to party with family. The best part, of course, was watching Jax dig into his elmo cake that Ryan made for him. I know, I have the best hubby in the world!!! Ryan is awesome when it comes to being creative and artistic, he will make a great dentist!
So as you can see in the pics, we gave Jaxon an elmo party because he absolutely loves him! One of the best gifts he got were a few of the Elmo's World dvds. Those things are the reason I get to shower each day! Another great one was the Radio Flyer wagon that is all terrain so we can go terrin' through the dirt when it gets warm! Ryan and I have been wanting to get this wagon for the boys and looked everywhere, but there were none in the stores. Unfortunately, we didn't order it in time for it to be there for his birthday, so we were just going to take our time getting it. The great thing was at the party my brother, Jeff, walked in with a big present that ended up being the wagon we were looking for! It was awesome. My sister-in-law, Sarah, went hunting for it and found it, what a sweetheart! Jax got completely spoiled and loved every minute!

This is the awesome cake that Ry made!

Noah and Jax trying out their new wagon! I can't wait to take them to the zoo, park, walks, etc. We had a lot of fun taking them to parades in it too! (We borrowed Savannah's wagon a lot this past summer!)

Happy 1st Birthday Jax!

Today is Jaxon's first birthday! I can't believe how fast time goes by, I feel like I just had him! To me, it definitely seems like time has gone by a lot faster with my second baby. I feel bad because he has been sick all week and isn't really himself, but this morning we tried to make him a little happier by making a yummy breakfast, Noah singing "Happy Birthday" and giving him tubby, which is his ultimate favorite! We were going to have his party tonight, but changed it to tomorrow for a couple of reasons... first that he's still kind of sick and second that Ryan's sister Steph's b-ball game was scheduled tonight. We are excited to go and watch her play towards taking state! I can't wait to see Jax dive into his cake tomorrow and I will for sure post some pics! Happy Birthday Jax, we love you!

New Pics

I took the boys the other day to get some pictures taken. It was a lot of fun, but reminded me how grateful I am to have a husband who goes with me to help because if I had to do it alone, I'd probably pull my hair out! I know they are both still so little, but is it too much to ask to have them both sit and smile perfectly at the same time?! :)
