This and That

Now that Jaxon is crawling/walking he is ALL OVER the place and into EVERYTHING! He sure gives me a run for my money. He is at such a fun stage and is so curious about everthing. He has been in a forward facing car seat for a while now, and loves to look out the window (unless the sun is shining on his face, he hates that) He hated to crawl on the grass so he would sit there and try to lift up his legs so that the smallest amount of skin touched it as possible, but he has somewhat conquered that phobia. He can crawl into the tiniest nooks and crannies, but cannot seem to crawl back out. He makes some of the funniest sounds right now so i will try to figure out how to post a video because it is so dang cute! But for now, these pics will have to do. Enjoy!

Sleeping in his Big Boy car seat

Not quite sure what to think of the grass

Ooooh I just love him!!!!!!!!

Who would have thought to play UNDER the toy??

:(

Three years already??

This weekend James and I celebrated our THREE year anniversary! Wow has the time flown by! Its so crazy to think that last year at this time I was 9 months pregnant and anxiously waiting for my life to change forever. Needless to say being 9 months prego isnt really the most comfortable feeling in the world so our last anniversary was spent very low key. So this year we SpLUrgEd!!! James booked a getaway package at The Little America downtown and it was SOO perfect! It was a bitter-sweet night being away from Jaxon over night, but it was still great! (thanks mom for watchin him)

On our way down to the hotel James and I talked about our most and least favorite memories from the wedding day and honeymoon. It was fun to talk about that day like it was only yesterday rather than 3 years ago. Some of the things James loved I had totally forgotten about and visa-versa.

Once we arrived to our suite there was a goody bag of treats and drinks waiting for us. It was so nice to just relax the whole day and night with my hubby! We ordered room service (and everything was delicious!!) we went swimming and relaxed in the hot tub, and watched movies in bed. The whole day was perfect.

Thank you sweetie for making this the best three years of my life! I love you more and more every day. Thank you for working so hard and for enduring through school. There is light at the end of the tunnel and I cannot wait to spend 100 more anniversaries with you!

One more thing!

This is the material I bought for the bench cushion. Wont it look GREAT!?

Aint she a BeAUtY!!??

Over Memorial Day weekend James went up to his cabin in Island Park for his annual GUYS fishing trip. This left me home alone for 4 days to get my craft on! This is the amazing KSL beauty I bought a few weeks back for only 20 bucks! What a deal right!? I saw her on line and instantly saw her potential. Luckily I found her before anyone else, because she was only on line for 14 minutes before I called and bought it! It was a good 2 day long process of sanding, priming, sanding again, painting, sanding again, a final coat of paint, and last but not least staining. But I could not be more happy with the end result! She is AMAZING! Now all I have to do is finish up the bench cushion im making for the seat. And then vwa-la, she will be complete! I love turning another mans JUNK into my TREASURE!!

This is how she looked to start out...

Hello my name is Katie and I am a blog a holic! I love to look at everyones blogs! Even if I don't know them. Is that weird?? My guilty pleasure is craft blogs. I have seen this project on a few different crafty blogs and i fell in love with it and decided to give it a try. It was super easy and really cheap! Sorry the pictures aren't very good, my flash was being weird and I up loaded them in the wrong order :( Oops! I have a few projects in the works so stay tuned for more pics! My most exciting one is a piece of furniture I bought off KSL for 20 bucks that I'm going to make over!!

Such a big boy!

Where did my 7 lb. 13 oz. baby boy go?? Everyday he turns more and more into a little man. He is crawling ALL over the place, pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING, eating all kinds of big people food, and has TWO teeth! I swear they just don't stay little for long. Although I must admit I am loving the stage Jaxon is at. I love waking up in the morning to him standing up in his crib waiting for me to go and pick him up. He puts a smile on my face at the beginning of everyday. I mean how could you not love waking up to this face and these beautful eyes?

I cannot believe that in just two and a half short months my baby will be ONE!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!

Time to go swimmin!

This is Jaxon's first experience in the water. We went to an indoor water park up in Kamas and it was a BLAST!! They have so many fun things to do and Jaxon is a born water baby. He had the best time and i cannot wait to take him some more this summer!
