Rain

Me: Daxton, who ordered this rain today? Was it you?!!

Daxton: No.

Me: Then who ordered this rain today?

Daxton: Jesus!

How amazing it is how young they know EXACTLY who is in charge!!!

Kamren

I feel like all my posts have been Daxton related, and there are more Daxton posts to come, February was just his month! I am so glad Kamren will let me practice on her sometimes! Not always, but when this girl gives me her little half smile, or sometimes no smile at all, it makes my heart melt! She is such a sweet and thoughtful child!

The Potty Fairy

Dear Potty Fairy,

We are sooooo happy you came to our house! Your visits sure made potty training at our house a lot easier! Especially since we had tried the Potty Watch, a fun tractor potty and several other things before you came! The look on Daxton's face the first time you left him a treat was priceless! He was so excited to find a treat in his special box!! And when you left him a BIG treat for going number 2, he was over the moon!!!!

Though he was really sad to see you go, he really liked the note you left him telling him that he was a big boy now and you were ready to move onto somebody else's house! It was a bit of a hard thing for him to see you go, he asked for 2 days if you were coming back! We told him you might visit sometime soon! I hope you are willing to make another special visit someday soon!

We are so excited that you helped Daxton get to go with his Papa and Daddy to the Train Show, this next weekend- I don't think he would have made it without you!!!

Sincerely,

Daxton's Happy Mommy

Daxton's Birthday....AND oh! What a day it was!!!

My little man had a big day, a few weeks ago, and I don't want to forget all the fun we had, even if it was 3 weeks ago!!! The day started off with a room full of balloons. We filled his whole room with balloons so that when he woke up, he would be so surprised, and he was!!

Next, he opened some presents! Some movies from Aunt Stacy, WOW! Does he love these and WOW!! I really do not!! He also got a semi truck/car hauler, and a remote control Hummer!

After presents, he was lucky enough to have a birthday party with Maddie and all of his little Joy School buddies at Pirate Island Pizza.
But his favorite, was the Thomas train he got at his birthday party from his little friend! We couldn't wipe the smile off his face after he saw this!!
How lucky are we to have babies born 20 minutes apart!! I love that he and Maddie have the same birthday!!
His sisters were even lucky enough to sluff school for the day so that they could come to Pirate Island with him!
His daddy sure loves this little guy!!
Later that night, we went to 25 main for dinner so that we could sing "Happy Birthday" to him one last time for the year!!
And of course, Thomas had to come with him!!

Photoshop

I know that none of you are impressed by this, but someday when I know Photoshop well (hopefully) I will look back at this picture and remember when I had to follow a paper step by step to even get here with a picture!!! 3 weeks ago when I started taking a class at the Rec Center, I couldn't even open a picture in Photoshop, so I think I am doing well! In about 10 more years I might know all I want to know, but for now, at least I am making progress!!!

Rain, rain go away.....

3?!!!!

Daxton-

Today is a big day for all of us, especially for you! You are getting to be such a big boy! You weighed 27 1/2 pounds today, and are 3 feet 1 inches tall!!! You woke up soooo excited today, and knew instantly, that it was your Birthday. The grin on your face was contagious! Watching you run from room to room wanting everybody to tell you happy birthday made me so happy!

I can't help but reflect a little on that crazy morning, 3 years ago, when you made a quick and unexpected entrance into this world. I knew from the moment I saw you that you were not going to be from the same mold as your sisters. You have done EVERYTHING in your own way and on in your own time! No matter how I try and steer you in your path in life, you always do things your way. I can not wait to see what you have in store! I know that you are going to be a strong leader who faces his fears head on, in the future. Though this is a scary thought for a mom to imagine, I am so excited to get to watch you grow into a young man. I feel a great sense of responsibility to guide you and direct you in a way that will lead you to keeping the commandments of your Heavenly Father.

I hope you will grow up knowing how much your dad and I love you. You have completed our family in a way that only you could. Your brother and sisters adore you and look out for you so much. I am so pleased by watching all of you interact and form loving bonds with each other. We all love your smile and zeal for life. I hope you will always attack life with such passion and force!!!

We are so proud to be your parents!!

Love,

Mom and Dad

Here are a few of your favorite things:

Construction equipment! You can't get enough! I am learning things I never imagined about front loaders, back hoes, and a variety of other things I never even thought I would need to know!!

Race cars! Never could I have imagined that you would want to watch race cars go around and around a track, but you are very captivated by it!!

Trains!!! I know this will make your Grandpa proud!!! You love your trains and putting the tracks together. I know that someday you and your grandpa will spend hours together because you are bound to be as passionate about them as he is!

Books!! I love that you like to have me read to you. I also love when you are not tired and so I hand you a book and you stay in your bed looking through your favorite books.

Nutella! I am going to have to buy stock soon in the company with as much as you and Kenzie eat of this stuff! I laugh on a daily basis when I find you at the table with your bread, Nutella and Peanut butter. And I am completely in love with the way you say "tella"!!

Your sisters!! You ask me just about every day where your sisters are when they are at school! In fact, the first day of school you cried almost the whole time Kamren was at Kindergarten because you felt so lost without them around all the time. I love to hear you say,"Hey, do you want to come and play in my room?" to them. It makes me smile that you love them so much, and that they love you just as much!

Golf!!! Your dad is so proud that you are in love with his sport!! Hearing you ask your dad if he will take you golfing makes your dad so proud! I can't wait for the day when the two of you head off together for a great day of golf and you get to do more than just ride in the cart!
