And today... here you are. Our Big 7 Month Old Boy! We couldn't love you more and we couldn't be prouder to be your Momma and Daddy. Oh the adventures we're about to have, J-Man.








A Newborn's Conversation With God.

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."

7 months ago today, you came into my life. And it's still hard to believe that you are mine. You turn the world on with your smile. You light up my life. You are my everything, and I am so blessed that God chose me to be your angel... to be your mama. Happy Birthday Little Man...

Shredder...

So, little man decided that he would turn over the paper shredder tonight. Boy, did he make a mess, but he loved every minute of it!

Moo Moo's 1st Birthday!

It's hard to believe that you're already one Miss Mya. It has been a joy watching you grow, and we are blessed to be your Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. We love you lots and are looking forward to the smiles and laughter and the fun times that we know you and Jaxon will have as you grow up together! You're a sweet little lady bug!
Momma's Little Boy.
5 months difference, 1 pound difference. Both loved very much!

Great Aunt Susie was taking pictures of Jaxon laughing at Great Aunt Janet. Please note that the "Great" in all of these titles implies fantasticness and refers to being two generations removed; it should not make you think that any of these people are old. They are not! But they do seem to always make this little boy laugh, and we are blessed that they are our family!

Fish Fry 2008

Jaxon was a grouchy pants at the fish fry, and basically the only thing that made him happy was riding around in this radio flyer wagon. Thank you Riley and Leslie for letting us borrow it!


I love this sweet little grin...
Mr. Pull up. He's decided that he is big enough to pull up on EVERYTHING! Our days of having an easy baby are over!

6 Month Shots :(

I like to call this picture "Jax in the Box." ha ha... I had my six month old shots on Friday. They were not much fun. Before my shots, we sat back in Mandy's office and she found this really cool box for me to play in. I had so much fun! Little did I know what was about to happen to me. I had to get three shots, and boy, did they hurt. But I didn't cry for long. I'm such a big boy. I'm just glad that those are the last shots that I will have to get until I am one year old!

I have a busy day ahead of me. Today is my cousin Mya's 1st Birthday. Her party is at 6 tonight and I can't wait. I hope somebody will let me have some cake and ice cream! Today is also our annual church fish fry... Mommy hopes that I will sleep well after all of the excitement that today holds!
