Happy New Baby

It’s been the best 8 weeks of my entire life. Simply because...

I love watching Jaxson sleep
I love watching him wake up
I love watching him do just about anything. Cry, move, smile, laugh, blink, sneeze, squint, cough, flail, etc.
I love waking up to feed him in the middle of the night
I love his baby smell
I love giving him baths
I love feeding him (he always laughs when he is finished eating. SO cute. and its the only time he laughs, so i’m the only one whose seen it.)
I love holding him
I love changing him (he use to cry, but now he smiles)
I love that I know him more then anyone
I love that Landon calms him down better then me
I love that Landon loves him
I love that I love Landon more because of him
I love his cute face
I love his fat tummy
I love his cubby cheek
I love his cooing
I love that our families love him
I love watching him learn and explore with his eyes
I love watching him grow (12 pounds 7 oz)
I love that he can sleep from 6:45pm-5:00am straight (emphasis on can. he has only done that once :)
I love that he hates a dirty diaper
I love that he loves walks
I love that every day when I read him the scriptures... he falls asleep. Baha
I love that one day he will be the oldest instead of the youngest and he will be a leader
I love that he is pure
I love that he is without sin
I love that I learn from him everyday
I love that I will be able to watch him grow for the rest of his life
I love that I’m a mother, and I’m his mother... for the rest of eternity!!!!!
I love that Jaxson is HERE and that Heavenly Father is allowing me to raise His son!!! I’ve truly never been happier. Ever. Ever. Ever. :)!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New BABY!!!!

Our Dreams Came True...and we're so HAPPY

and within 72 hours from each other!!!

If you read the "About Us" tab to the right you will read that Landon wants to be a DR. and I want to be a MOM. Landon was accepted into 3 different medical schools. We are still waiting to hear from many more, but his dream to become a Dr. (basically) came true. The next morning I went into labor and... 17 hours, 8lbs 7oz, 21 inches later... he came:





















Jaxson is perfect! We feel so blessed! I'm a Mom, Dad's a Dr. (well not technically, but he will be :)), Baby is a baby!

Let the games begin!!!!
