Liberty Fest 2010

Tonight at our church, we had our annual Fourth of July celebration... It was full of fun, fellowship and food...

The only thing that could have made it better is if Daddy would have been there to watch the fireworks with us...!

It was a great way to kick off the 4th of July festivities. We can't wait to see what the rest of the week/weekend holds!

Tonight was our last night to spend with Daddy before he leaves for three weeks. It was definitely bitter sweet. We had such a fun time hanging out with our family-

but we can't wait to see Daddy again.

Here's praying these three weeks fly by like time has never flown before...

Conversations.

Jax still occasionally has his constipation problems, and yesterday was one of those days. Finally, I sat him on the potty while he was crying so that when he went, he would be on the toilet. Justin and I were both cheering him on, and then he did his business:
Justin: You made a turd!
Jaxon: I made a turtle!

For the rest of the night Jaxon went around telling everyone that he made a turtle, and at church last night, he told me that he needed to go to the bathroom and make a turtle. It was hilarious!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the night last night, Jax's nose got all stopped up and he was having a hard time breathing, which caused for a hard time sleeping. At one point (around 2:30 a.m.) this conversation occured:
Jaxon: Open
Mommy: Open what?
Jaxon: Open Daddy's eyes.
Mommy: Well go tell Daddy to open his eyes.
He crawls to Daddy's side of the bed and sits on his chest.
Jaxon: Daddy, open your eyes. Daddy! Open your eyes! Daddy TAKE YOUR EYES OUT!

Ha ha... Justin never woke up!

Story-time with Dad.

Happy Birthday Nana!

AMEN!

Jaxon and I went to Twelve Oaks Baptist Church tonight because Will and Anna Grace were baptized. They had a children's sermon at the beginning of the service and Jax wanted to go forward with Anna Grace. You can see in the picture how well he was paying attention! During the sermon, the man sitting directly in front of us "amened" several times. And each time that he said "amen" Jaxon, very loudly, repeated him. It was a little embarassing, but way too cute! He even "amened" a couple of times on his own, and amazingly enough, they were times that someone probably should have said "amen..." ha ha. Oh me, I've got a mess on my hands!
We are proud of you Will and Anna Grace!
Hope Jaxon didn't embarass you too bad!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

We love you so much!

Mommy and Jaxon
