Oh Boy!

March 1, 2011

Mila asked Jaxon if he wanted some Girl Scout cookies. He said "No! I don't want Girl Scout cookies...I want Boy Scout cookies!" Such a funny little man! :)

Monkey Bars

I know what you're thinking...3 posts in 1 week! Crazy, I know!

Anyways, Mila has been working hard at mastering the monkey bars. So hard that the poor thing got a blister on her hand...it was very dramatic and she was bummed that she would have to take a break from her monkey bars practice. She was determined to make it across the monkey bars and today was the big day! She did it at recess at school and had to show me at the park when she got home (even though it was freezing outside). We stayed just long enough to catch a video of her newest accomplishment.

Oh and Jaxon has told me this before, but informed me again today that he would like to be a "pizza guy" when he grows up. Silly boy!

Maylee is ONE!!!

Can you believe it?!? The past year FLEW by and my baby girl is now 1 year old!!! We had a big celebration this past weekend with about 20 friends and family members. Our parents flew in for the weekend and we had a blast! Maylee didn't demolish her cake like Mila and Jaxon did on their first birthdays, but she was still as cute as ever! Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate our beautiful little girl! Maylee is the sweetest and most loving baby ever (at least to her mama)...she is slow to warm up to new people, but once she does she gives the biggest hugs! I love the little pat she gives your back as she's hugging too. She started walking really well about a week before her birthday (which was new for me since Mila and Jax started walking at about 9 months). It's been fun to see her explore more new things and to try to keep up with her big brother and sister.

She had her 1 year appointment and weighed in at 19 lbs 4 oz and 29 inches. We have to wait a few weeks before we can turn her car seat around because she didn't hit the 20 lb mark. She is doing everything she is supposed to be doing; pointing, responding to no, waving, walking, she shakes her head yes and no, says mama and dada, it also sounds like she says "I did it!" when she does something she is happy about. She also says hi and a few other words. Oh and she loves to "talk" on the phone...typical girl! :) She has 5 teeth now and is working on many more, which means that we have had a lot of sleepless and painful nights lately. Mila and Jaxon got teeth early, but Maylee's came in later and all at once so it hasn't been much fun. :( But, overall she's growing great and is a healthy and beautiful girl!



She wasn't too sure about the cake...looks like she's thinking "Do I have to eat it all?"



She had fun opening her presents!


She got this awesome ball pit from our friends Linzie, David, and Emily and it's been a big hit!

The things kids say...

So, I've decided that I need to start documenting the funny things the kids say because some day I won't remember it.

Feb 2011
Mila got in trouble for being bossy so she said: "I hate being a kid. I can't wait to be an adult so I can boss people around without getting in trouble!"(Age 6)

Jaxon was playing with a boy that I've been watching and I heard him crying in the next room. I went in and asked him what's wrong. He said, very very upset: "Dylan said I'm not a teenager!" (Age 3)

I'm not the best at updating my blog so I figured this would be a good place for me to at least post the funny things my kiddos say...let's see if I can keep it up!
