Brothers

It has been so much fun watching Jaxon and Grant play together lately. They have become great friends.

Grant loves to cuddle which is something Jaxon has never done unless sick or very tired. On occasion he will let Grant cuddle up to him.

They love to wrestle.

First Time Skiing

We took Jaxon skiing today for his first time. He did really well and had a lot of fun. Here he is with Mimi Nakker getting ready to go.

Discovery

We had a great time at Discovery with cousins Ava and Chase. The boys were loving the helicopter. Jaxon kept asking me when it was going to "fly high."
Here they are waiting for it to take off.

Las Vegas

Cole and I were able to escape from the freezing Salt Lake temperatures for a few days and relax without the kids in Vegas. Although the temperatures were not that much warmer there - it actually snowed the day of our arrival - but regardless we still had a nice relaxing little getaway. Thanks to my Mom for watching the boys while we were away.

I could watch the Bellagio fountains all night.

We saw Mystere and loved it.

Jungle Jims

We had a blast at Jungle Jim's with Nana, Ileah, and cousins Ashlyn and Camden.

Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. There is nothing like being home for the holidays. It was so nice being surrounded by family and friends.
