Halloween

 We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. Poor Dax was sick and I wasn't feeling too good either. It all worked out good though and I think Dax still had fun.

Picking the pumpkins out of the garden.

He loves helping his Dad with anything and everything. He was so excited about all of the pumpkins.

He would not touch the pumpkin goo. this is the best we do.

But he loved watching Corey do it.

Dax was a cowboy for Halloween, even though he didn't feel good he still wanted to go trick or treating. Corey and my mom took him to a few houses, then Corey took him to his parents house. He loved it and was so excited.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. First we cut pumpkins at both grandparents house an our own.

Turner's House

Lofgran's House

Our House

We had a ton of pumpkins and gourds this year.

Here is Dax in his Costume.

He loved pretending to be a Dragon.

Dax's First Hair Cut .... I didn't do.

Dax HATES getting his hair cut. I have been cutting his hair since he was tiny, I think Jessie did it once too. But anyway he absolutly hates it, so I decided to take him somwhere and actually pay for a hair cut. This is the result:

He wanted nothing to do with the bubbles.....

He is starting to calm down here.

All Done!

His hair looks good and he wasn't mad at me for the rest of the night.

Some of our Summer Activities

Here is a little bit of what we have been doing over the summer.

So I'm a Slacker....but everyone knows that already!

Corey took last Monday off and we went to the Zoo. It was alot of fun.

He rode in his wagon and had to have his glasses on practically the whole time.

Dax and Dad being groundhogs.

We went to the elephant show and they showed us how they teach them tricks so that the care givers can make shure they are doing good. Dax was unsure about the fake elephant he would not get down.

We went to the bird show too. It was very entertaining, most of the birds would fly right over your head.

We had to do the traditional drinking fountain pic. Last time it wasn't working.

They are doing Zoorasic Park right now, it was fun. This was a dinosaur the kids could climb on, but this is as close as Dax would get.

He even held his arms out this time.

It was so fun to have Corey with us, Dax loved having his dad there.

PS we also went on the carosel but Dax wouldn't sit on the animal so we got crappy pics, oh well.

Daxton

I wanted to do a post telling some of the funny things Dax has started doing. He is growing up so fast and learning new things everyday. He is definatly all boy. He loves playing in the dirt, motorcycles, tractors, trucks, trains, airplanes and helicopters. I can't keep him inside, he has learned how to unlock both the screen door and sliding door; going outside on his own on a regular basis. He is not a fan of bugs, it is very funny, it took a while but he will finally pick up and hold a worm.

He has become very fasinated with the potty and likes to pretend to go. He has only really went once, but eventually it will happen regularly. He has learned the terms pee and poo. The other day he had a poopy diaper so we were getting ready to change it and my phone rang so I told him I would be right back. It took me maybe one miute on the phone and I hear him, "Mommy, Mommy!" So I go into his room and he is laying there on the floor with his diaper undone saying, "I stinkies". I laughed so hard.

He also loves the dirt bikes in the shed he always wants to sit on them. The other day Corey and I decided to get the XR-75 out and start it up. Dax was so excited he got to take a ride on the "cycle".

Corey's Birthday and Easter

Ok so I am an idiot and published the super cross post before this one, so please scroll down and read it too, we had so much fun. This year since Corey's birthday was so close to Easter we celebrated botha at the sametime. We spent Saturday with my family.

Corey had some helpers to open his presants.

My sister, Abbie, made Corey a John Deere cake. Camie, my other sister made the dog out of rice krispy treats.

 He had help blowing out the candles too.

 

We had an Easter Egg Hunt.

Getting into the easter basket from Grandma & Grandpa.



Then colored eggs.

On Sunday we went to Corey's parents house, had a yummy dinner and an Easter Egg hunt. Dax of course went to the sand box first.

 Playing in the sand after the egg hunt.



We had a small presant opening event, Corey had already got his big presant, a string trimmer. The rest were gift cards. Boring but that is what he wanted.

The grandkids opening their presants from grandma and grandpa.
