Big Brother!!
Big big news!! Jaxon is going to be a Big Brother. I think most everyone knows by now, but I thought I would make an initial post with plans to blog about this pregnancy on here as well. I thought about creating a separate blog but that is too much for me to keep up with so I might change the blog name or something like that, but we'll start here for now.
We are so excited to begin the process of welcoming our second little one to the family. Jaxon doesn't really understand, and one wouldn't expect him too, but he does like to pat my belly and look under my shirt to find this baby we speak of.

Airplane Magic!
Tonight Jaxon and I shared a moment of pure magic. As I was cooking dinner, he was looking out the living room window. Then with all the toddler excitement he could muster, he yelled over to me, "Mommy, mommy, airplane" while pointing his little finger into the sky. A little less than a month ago, the two of us had flown on an airplane back to MO and that was pretty exciting for him. But this was the first time he recognized and pointed out an airplane flying in the sky.
Wanting to embrace and enjoy his little world I knelt down beside him to take in the wonderous airplane. We watched as the lights from the plane got closer and closer and then just before it flew over our house I lied on my back and grab Jaxon placing him on his back too and we watched as the big airplane flew over us. Then we got up and ran acrossed the house to the dinning room and watch the airplane swoop down as it descended and made its way to the airport. His was all smiles and giggles and it was in that minute that I was so thankful to have a large living room window, a cloudy sky and an airport nearby; the perfect recipe to create a simply magical moment for us to share.

Birthday #2: Circus Style
Jaxon celebrated his 2nd birthday on Dec 11, 2010 with all of his little buddies. We invited Jacob and Grayson from our neighborhood playgroup,Josh from church and our Joplin transplant friends Deven and Kieran. Overall, including parents and the cute Rice twins, there were 17 people in our house!!
We decorated the house with primary colored streamers and balloons. Set out puffcorn, corn dogs, fruit and birthday cupcakes for everyone to snack on and enjoy. We also let all the kids sit on the kitchen floor and get messy with their very own cupcake (Grayson and Josh also wanted to blow out their own candle). But before the cupcake stravaganza we opened up gifts.
Jaxon got a lot of fun toys. Jacob gave Jax a fun LEGO Cars set. He got a cool wooden race car track from Grayson, a neat 'learn to read' Disney book set from Josh, a travel Tonka Chuck garage from Deven and a challenging puzzle set from Kieran.
After presents were opened and the cake was gone, all the kids made their way to our fun room where we'd set up Jax's birthday presents from Mommy and Daddy. In the fun room, they got to play with a tent and tunnel and a cool Elephant ball pit (which Daddy blew up, with his own lungs, minutes before the party!!). The ball pit was a big hit - Thank you, Daddy! We also had a bubble machine, which was awesome but made the kitchen floor slippery so all the boys were slipping and sliding as they chased bubbles. Unfortunately, we had to shut the bubble machine off. We also had a circus cut out with a ring master, clown and lion that everyone could take their picture in. But what may have been the best part of the party were the balloons!
The party was a lot of fun, definitely filled with memories. We are so thankful to everyone who came and helped us celebrate Jaxon's 2nd Birthday.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Jaxon. It is amazing how fast time has flown by but we wouldn't change a minute of it. We love you very very much.
