Happy Birthday Jaydon

 

Jaydon had his birthday yesterday and it was a busy, fun-filled day! I started frosting Jaydon's bear cake while he was napping, but his nap only lasted 40 minutes. So I gave him a mini spatula and sat him on the counter while I finished. He loved dipping the spatula into the blue frosting and eating it...it was all over his face, but it was his birthday so I let him have at it. It was really nice outside so we went out in the afternoon so he could push his little tonka truck around. He loves being outside and loves pushing that little truck around so we had a good time. Then we came inside and got dinner ready, Jaydon got lots of cheese to eat while I was doing that, which he loves too! Then we had our neighbors and family for cake and ice cream. Grandma Sleight brought a little chair over for Jaydon and he liked that instantly, he also loved all of the balls he got too. He loves anything that he can throw, and has a good arm too... He wanted to grab the candle the moment it was lit, and Jason showed him how good and messy cake is! We ended the night by a bubble bath before bed! We love Jaydon lots and lots and it's hard to believe it's been a year! We can't imagine life without him, we're so glad he came to our family! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYDON!!!

Easter

We had a fun Easter with Jaydon this year. Holidays are so much better with a baby around...he's sure growing up fast, can't beleive he'll be one next week! Crazy!!!

Jaydon Easter morning in his new outfit...he wouldn't ever look at the camera, we're working on that:)!

Last weekend...

Jaydon loves his new little truck! It was suppposed to be for his birthday, but he'd been walking around furniture and things, that we thought we might as well get it out and let him use it! He pushes it all over the house and puts stuff in it...then throws it outs...then he plays with the wheels...let's just say he has fun with it! I can't believe that he'll be walking soon, but I don't mind. (Everyone always says "oh, you can wait, he'll be into everything once he's walking...") Well, he already is, so I really don't mind!
 
  Jason was playing with Jaydon and feeding him candy, which of course made Jaydon happy...it really was kinda funny though! I finally grabbed the camera and got this picture of his teeth coming in...no wonder there's been some rough nights lately...
 
Also, my sister Caitlin turned 20 on Monday. We had a little get together last weekend while my parents were here. We had lots of good food and fun games, and then cake and ice cream to top it off! The cake she likes is pina colada...sound interesting, huh? Well, it actually was pretty good. Happy Birthday Caitlin!
 

Finally...

 

Finally...

Finally, I had my camera with me when I caught Jaydon and Addy doing what they love to do together...throwing tupperware out from the drawers! It's funny, one starts to throw lids and containers out and the other one is right there! They sure have fun doing it though and it's hilarious when they start giggling when they wear the tupperware on their heads. Then they tip their head down and let it fall, trying it out on all of us...it's funny what kids find fun.
Anyhow, we've also had a few days of nice weather. Maybe I should say NICER weather. I've been able to take Jaydon out for a few walks lately and it's been so nice to get some fresh air. Yay for warmer weather, and hopefully Spring will come soon!

Valentine's

We had a fun Valentine's weekend. We celebrated the whole weekend through. I had to put Jaydon eating goldfish because they are his new favorite! And he's now getting the hang of it when I say "cheese" or smile"! The next picture is me and Jaydon on Valentines. Jason and I went out the Saturday before Valentine's to buy a new washer and dryer set. Our old washer still works, but on a smaller size load only, and our dryer, which is Jason's grandma's old one...burnt our clothes! So I said enough was enough, and we unfortunately had to buy a matching set. (I'm just weird like that I suppose...) Anyhow, we found a good set that are front loading and I'm actually really excited to do laundry in them, BUT they won't be delievered until the 1st week of March! It's funny how the thought of doing laundry in a new and upgraded machine sounds so exciting! So needless to say, we told each other to not spend money on Valentine's stuff so we comprimised and did other things instead. I made Jason dinner on Friday night, and he made me dinner on Saturday. Then I stole this idea off of Hilarie's blog and made Jason a Valentine's breakfast.
He and Jaydon also picked me out a balloon and flower, while Jaydon and I gave Jason a "heart-ya-appreciated?" gift on Valentine's. We listed everything we love about Jason on heart-shaped paper and then put them on York peppermint patties. It was fun! Last but not least is all of my siblings that live in Cache Valley! I made them these fun Valentine's bags instead of the regular sugar cookies treat!
Thank you to Devin for coming over and babysitting on Valentines too! We went out and had fun, and even came home to Jaydon in bed! Yay! Hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's as much as I did!

Happy Birthday!

Jason celebrated his birthday a couple of weeks ago, but I keep putting off posting about it. He was actually gone on his birthday for a little business trip. I was going to go down and have dinner with him, but it didn't work out. So instead, when he got home Jaydon and I had made him dinner, had gifts for him to open, and even cake and ice cream for dessert! Our niece, Addy had her birthday on Sunday.. She is ONE! I tend Addy a couple of times a week while my sister tends Jaydon so he and Addy are pretty good buddies. While she was opening gifts, Jaydon had to get in with the action! He was right there with her tugging the paper of her gifts! I guess it'll be good practice for his birthday They are growing up way too fast! Then, of course, I had to post some cute pictures of Jaydon. He is starting to warm up to the camera and show off his shiny white teeth! He usually turns his head or closes his eyes when the flash goes off, but he is. getting better! He loves trucks and/or anything with wheels. He isn't as good as "driving" them as he is turning them over on their backside and spinning the wheels. However, he's seen Addy driving the cars and I've noticed that he's starting to drive them too!
