Pics of Catwalk.

Nellie was not excited about the "rickety" bridge.

Cuties

The day before she cut her hair!



This summer we took a trip to Catwalk. The kids and Aaron had a great time. I, on the other hand, should not have decided to just carry Jax up a steep mountain trail, in the rain, and in flip flops. Needless to say, I turned back half way. So what does Aaron do? Lets the kids play in a deep pond thingy, as he climbs back up the mountain to take pictures. I would have been right next to them, with floaties, reminding them they don't know how to swim. Anyways, Jax had fun crawling through the little stream in his diaper, in the freezing cold water.

Some pics of Jax

I don't know why he loves this little Dora
backpack.



Obviously I can't figure out how to rotate
pictures.

This is his mean face...and no one is allowed to
sit on the chair when he is. He'll push you right
off!!


I know I've been a bad blogger! I rarely have time to get on the internet anymore.


Anyways, Jax is getting so big! I can't believe he is almost 16 months. He is my wildest kid yet. Jax is all boy and is rarely a cuddler. He tells me "poopoo"every 2 minutes and loves to look out the window, hoping to see our neighbors dog walk by. He has a mean streak in him. He's a hitter and a biter. But we love him despite the beatings!! =)

HooraySoccer time!!

Soccer season has started! Brodey and Nellie are on the same team this year, the Red Hots. Aaron and I are coaching....fun fun! Our first game was today. Nellie scored a goal....she was so excited that she ran off the field....big old smile on her face. It was actually a good play. She stole the ball from the other side of the field and ran it all the way down to our goal. Brodey blocked two goals from the other team. He is mad that he didn't get a goal...but he played really well. He didn't sit down at all on the grass during the game ! =) Even though the little guys don't keep score....I think we would have won 58 to 3...something like that. We have a really cute little team. All the kids are so nice! Jax is ready for soccer....he kicks the ball around the whole time the kids are practicing. I think he is a natural.

And now he turns 6 !!

Bday boy and his cake

Our big swingin' party...doesn't Aaron look
thrilled?

Nellie telling us how the party is boring and
what we are supposed to be doing!

Frosting face

My sweetheart!!

So, Brodey woke up EARLY this morning, very grumpy. I thought...it's going to be on of those days. Well, turns out that he wanted to go to school right then, at 5:30am! Guess he's liking it! Anyways, all he wanted was peach oatmeal for breakfast. Brought cookies to school for a treat, and had lunch with him. He loved that I was there and would only let certain friends sit by me. We played basketball at recess and he's really good. All the kids kept telling him how good he was. He was so happy. After school, I was getting ready to go get them from the bus stop at 3:05 like it came on the first day, but here they came walking at 2:40. What the heck? I'm glad Bailey walked them home. I'm sure the bus won't come until 3:00 tomorrow to keep me on my toes. Brodey was mad again that I wasn't there to get him. Maybe I'll get it right tomorrow !!
