It was soooooooooooo worth every penny












This is our first time ever taking professional pictures. We had Ryan's uncle take our wedding pictures and his sister usually takes our family pictures. Which they were all great, but we finally decided to splurge and have a pro take them for us. I am so glad we did. They turned out fabulous.

Happy 1st Birthday Jaxon

Look at my cool new winter boots.
Playing with his new toys with Bishy.
He was a little afraid of the fire that Ryan was shoving in his face.
Okay, you talked me into it.
Loving this cupcake.
Making sure he got every bit of it.
Oh my gosh, I get icecream too?

I CANNOT believe that I have a 1 year old. I tried to make this day really special for Jaxon. I guess Brenda is rubbing off on me. Ryan and I bought him a new carseat...front facing. He is loving it. Ryan is going to kill us all, because he hates that Jaxon just stares at him the entire time. They can't stop looking at each other. It is very dangerous. I heard Jaxon wake up around 7:30am and went down to sing to him. When I got close to his room, I could smell something awful. I went in his room and there was throw up literally everywhere...in his hair, pj's, in between his toes, all over his bedding, everywhere. I stripped him down and threw him in the bath. We gave him breakfast and then got ready for his big birthday party. I invited a few of his friends to the park for a pizza party and cupcakes. I gave him one bite of pizza and he threw up his entire breakfast. So I called Ryan to come get him. We had his party without him. I love my Dad. He always takes the grandkids to lunch on their birthday. I told him that Jaxon wasn't feeling well, so he asked if he could take him for a walk. They ended up just playing in our living room for about 30 minutes. My Dad smothers Jaxon's face. I don't think Jax likes it, but don't tell my Dad that. Ryan's parents came over. He opened his presents. He got 2 new pairs of shoes, a winter outfit, blocks, books, and a learning audio computer book. He loves them all. Thank you Grandma Thueson. Then the best part, he demolished a cupcake and icecream. Let's just hope he doesn't throw up the entire dessert tonight. I can't tell you how much I absolutely love this kid. It is crazy to me that he is already one year old. Happy Birthday Jaxon!

Perk's of being a cop




Having your husband be a police officer is not all fun and games. There are a lot of nights I worry about him while he is out. I worry even more after I hear some of the events that happened throughout the night. There are a few things that help make this career more enjoyable for the family though. The city has put on many family events. It is great to go out and meet other wives and families that go through the same thing we are, and it is FREE. So in the last few months we have been able to go to Steelhead's Hockey game, a picnic at the zoo, and go to the Farmstead. Thank you City of Boise.

I promise they aren't gay...they just don't know better




I was so excited to have my friend Shanah Tafoya come into town. It has been forever since I have seen her. She has a little boy named Lakai that is about 6 weeks older than Jaxon. This was the first time they have met. They instantly fell in love with each other. I wish they lived closer so our boys could play together more often. It was so cute to see these two boys playing, hugging, slealing each others binkies, poking eyes and kissing. It was so adorable. They would just open their mouths and with wide eyes, kiss each other over and over again. I especially love how Lakai would tilt his head when he would kiss. It's like he has seen it done like that before or something. It is like they are best friends. Thanks for stopping by, Shanah. It was great to see you.
