Santa Come Back

Because all I want for Christmas are my two front teeth and I can't wait 12 more months!

I wish I had taken a before picture...

One of Jax's front teeth has been wiggly forever and had started to migrate into his other front tooth and create a large gap, so we told him Monday night that if he didn't have it out on his own by Friday we were going to help him with it. (I know we're mean, but it was getting ridiculous!)

So of course once we get him in bed he starts wiggling it and decides it's coming out tonight.

So, he came down to our bathroom and wiggled and wiggled, but the dang tooth would come out - but much to all of our shock and amazement the one next to it did.

Here he is, one tooth down, one to go.

Notice his watery eyes?  Makes me sad and proud all at the same time.

After he got out the first one you'd think the second would be easier, but he was a little scared from the blood and such and so Dad and I offered to help with the second, which really looked like Colby trying to grab it and then jaxon ripping his head back because he didn't want him to and that's all it took.

POP!  Out came the second tooth!

Now we have a Toothless Joe Jaxon.

Two teeth equals dollars in your pocket little man.

I was so proud of him.  He was scared, but he did it anyway.

Way to go Buddy!

Cake Fav.'s of 2011

By far the most popular cakes of 2011 were Angry Birds related.

I love how trends even find there way into food.

These little birds (and pigs) are on everyone's phone.

At Christmas I was amazed at all the Angry Bird stuff - pillows, shirts, pjs.

And CAKE!

The next two cakes were also quite popular, but still a distant 3rd and 4th to the Angry Birds.

More Coming Soon

I plan on having the Christmas updates up this week... check back soon.

Today while driving over to my parent's house for dinner, Kyah said to Jaxon:

K:  Do you know how much I love you?
J:   10,000,550 never ending?
K:  Yup!
J:   Me too.

Wanting to cry because of their sweetness I glanced back and they were holding hands.

I told them how much I love those moments and how sweet I thought they were and then they proceeded to play the stack and slap game with their hands.... Yup, moment gone.

Days of Presents

There is one perk to having divorced parents - holidays go on for DAYS.

When you factor in that these kids have Christmas with Harley and his parents, Colby and I and then presents or parties with both my parents and Colby's - that is a lot of celebrating and gift giving.

Christmas

Christmas Eve getting ready to open up our traditional pj's.

Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree!

This is one of my favorite parts of Christmas. 

For Mom and Dad's viewing pleasure the kids got wax lips in their stockings.

Santa Presents

These faces are what making the Christmas madness worth it. 

I love these two.

We truly are so blessed. 

Not just in material possessions but, it has been a year rich in blessings.

2011 could be one of the best years yet.

Since it's FB official

I can post these pictures I took of my baby sister... 2 days after she found out she was pregnant.

There's a baby growing in that there tummy.

Yay for being an Auntie!!

Congrats to Andrew & Rach!
