Jaxon's 4th Birthday...a little late!

I can't believe my baby is four year old already! Jaxon requested a day at the beach for his big 4th birthday. He also has been asking for "a whale cake with fish" for the last 3 months! So, I tried my best. We had a great day with my sister and her kiddos and we were thrilled that Grandma and Grandpa came out to celebrate with us! Overall, I think he had a great day!

Happy Birthday My Jaxon Boy!!!

My little guy is 4!!! Can you believe it???? I literally feel like we were just bringing him home from the hospital a couple of weeks ago! I must say, I have the MOST AWESOME kid! He is the complete light of my life. He has so much joy that it is impossible not to be around him and have any look on your face except a smile. He is so sweet and is always making sure I am alright...whether I might be sad or stubbing my toe...he is always there to make me feel better. He has such a strong spirit, and I love to hear him belting out primary songs at the top of his lungs...when he thinks I can't hear him! I love his cautious attitude and his recent sass! It makes me smile! I love his independent little way, and even more, his dependent ways too! Everyday I am thankful for my son. I cherish him everyday. Everyday I am thankful for answered prayers and for the amazing gift I have been given. Happy Birthday, Jaxon! Thank you for choosing me to be your mommie!

(ps- Thank you Kulianna for starting such a great way to remember our kiddos over the years!...I just had to copy ya!)

A Day at the Beach...again!

I have to hand it to California...the beaches are so much fun! I am not a huge fan of this state yet, but I must say that having the ability to drive to the beach every Saturday , sure is awesome! We spent yesterday at Huntington Beach where this desert girl enjoyed the surf and sand more then I knew I could. There is something about watching your kiddo become entranced with the Ocean that does my heart good. The only downfall of the day was the lack of sunscreen for Rich! Jax wouldn't let me get near his eyes with the sunscreen, so we woke up from his nap looking like a red raccoon!

My little sunburned boy! I can't stop laughing at how funny he looks!

A Movie in the Park

We found a movie in the park!! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to one of these, but we could nver find one that was "family-ish" so I was so excited when we found one a couple of towns over. Oh my gosh, it was so much fun! We packed our popcorn, candy and sodas along with our blankets and set out for a great night. We watched "The Muppet Movie" admist tons of families. It was a really great night.

The 4th of JULY!

The thought of spending the fourth all alone was a little bit too daunting for us, so we packed up the car and headed to San Jose to see Sarie and her fam. We spent the day at the Santa Clara Celebration where the kids played games and ate their weight in snow cones. That night we watched the fireworks from the Google parking lot. Ahhh...Silicone Valley!

Who is that Masked Man?

Jax plays with this mask ALL THE TIME!! Too cute..I had to share!

La Habra Children's Museum

Jax and I have been trying to keep busy, so we find new places to go all the time. We found this great childrens museum in La Habra, which is about 25 minutes from us. Jax had so much fun playing with all of the awesome things. It is a completley "hands-on" museum, and they tell you when you enter "play with everything and make sure you touch it all!" So..we did!
