Happy Birthday Jaxon

For Jaxon's first birthday we had our family over for a little party. I attempted to make my first cake from scratch.

It was so much fun to watch Jaxon gradually devour his cake.
After every present he opened he would clap his hands. Thanks everyone for the fun gifts.
The Guests:
I can't believe my baby is already one! That year flew! It seems like yesterday he was this size.

Big Log Lodge

We had a blast at the annual "Big Log Lodge" Chirstmas party - thanks to Angie and Spencer Vriens for hosting. It is always entertaining to see everyone's festive sweaters and white elephants.

Merry Christmas

Jaxon had a great first Christmas. He had fun unwrapping all his gifts. He was probably more excited about eating the paper than the actual gift, but I'm sure next year will be a lot different.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving with the VandenAkker family this year. Jaxon came down with two ear infections the week before and was on amoxicillin for eight days until we figured out that he had an allergic reaction to penicillin. I felt horrible. After several phone calls to the nurse and three visits to the doctor we finally figured it out. Four days after taking the amoxicillin, he had a high fever that lasted for three days - at one point it was as high as 104.1, then shortly after the fever broke a rash started appearing on his back. We then were told he had a virus called roseola. When the rash seemed to worsen and had spread from head to toe we then were told it was an allergic reaction. Needless to say it was a rough week, but his ear infections have cleared up as well as his rash. I was very grateful this Thanksgiving to have a healthy baby.

All that turkey made him sleepy. This one needs to be added to our narcoleptic post. Notice his little monkey. He has grown attached to it and can not seem to sleep without it. It is fun to see how excited he gets every time we give it to him.

He always wants whatever Chase seems to have.

Halloween Fun

Jax and cousin Chase

Jaxon was so curious as to what Chase was wearing.

We had a fun Halloween party at the Swenson's barn on the 30th.
We went as Darth Vadar and Princess Leia.

On Halloween my grandma's care center had treat or treating for all the kids. They had all the residents handing out candy dressed up as dalmations. It was pretty cute. I couldn't decide if the kids or old people were cuter.
