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!

Some good baby moments...

Jaydon is growing up too fast. One night we went in to give him his binky and he was standing up crying in the crib. Who knew he could actually pull himself up? Well, we lowered the crib. Now he's been on this thing where he wakes up at 3 or 4 in the morning and will NOT go back to bed in his own bed. Trust me...we've tried. We get so tired that we give in and let him sleep with us. He always gets his way:)...
The other day I was picking up our bedroom and folding laundry. I gave Jaydon a bucket of toys to play with and he usually will sit and play and clack and bang things together. BUT...he has this basketball. He will sort of throw it and then crawl (actually army crawl after it). Well, it had been quiet for a bit so I looked over around the corner of the bed and this picture would be what I found! He was really quiet for not being able to get out, but don't worry, once I put the camera down, he started to cry and I helped the poor guy out! Jaydon also got his first hair cut! (I had to laugh when I read my friend Marijke's blog and she had posted pictures of her 4 week old getting his 1st haircut!) Jaydon's hair was getting a little long and whispy on the top, so one night I spiked it up in the middle and did a little trimming, no one can really tell, but it looks much better to me! Then last, but not least, I was making dinner the other night and I had put Jaydon in his high chair with some cherrios. He does really good for a long time with a few of those on his tray. I was talking with him as he made the "hmm, hmm" sound (because cherrios really are that tasty!) when I looked over and he had actually "hmmm"ed himself to sleep. His little head was slumped over and so I went to get the camera and the little music that goes off when you turn the camera on woke him up! Darn it! It was a classic picture of a kid sleeping in their high chair! But, I did get a picture of him afterwards! I really can't remember what life was like before Jaydon. It must have been dull and boring and so uninteresting! He really is fun and has so much personality. He pulls the funniest faces and when you can get him laughing, it really is contagious. We love the little guy!!!

Christmas Fun!

It was a fun week with all that has happened. Jason and I have both been home for a long time and we've been able to do lots of stuff...it almost makes it hard to go back to life. Anyhow, we must have been good because Santa visited us! I think me and Jason were more excited for it than Jaydon. We had a great time showing Jaydon how everything goes, especially because we got out the video camera. It was fun to catch some of those really great moments on video!
Things we've done: Chritmas Eve we went to Jason's parent house, we went to look at lights, then came home to have Chritmas morning here. We headed back over to his parent's house for most of Christmas day, trying to stay cozy and warm with the snow we received! We decided to go sledding with Jaydon and he didn't really know what was going on, but he really was in awe over SNOW!!! We also did a lot of after Chritmas shopping and managed to drop Jaydon off with Grandma so we could eat at Hamiltons. We visited Jason's grandmas in Idaho, then headed up to my parent's house to spend New Year's Eve with them. Jaydon and cousin Addy were opening presents together at my parent's house. They sure have a good time together and they both love having what the other has! They are going to be great playing buddies as they both with have someone to learn to share with! We had a crazy New Year's Eve and I think it's the 1st time I've stayed up TO midnight since Jaydon was born! (Not to confuse everyone with the endless nights of getting up in the MIDDLE of the night!) Anyhow, we played lots of games including Pictionary, Guesstures, Apples to Apples...ate lots of yummy food thanks to my mom and her chocolate and cheese fondues...and rang in the New Year with Dick Clark. It was quite the night. It was fun to go with Jason out in Idaho Falls as my family actually ASKS to watch Jaydon! When we came home it seemed as though Jaydon caught a little cold or something and so he is worn out and tired! But, we are home, trying to unpack and get back into "life"! (This is how I found Jaydon napping today...he looks exhausted!)
