Splish Splash!

We loved our first experience in the pool. I personally believe it was because of the too cute bathing suit given to her by her Aunt Ashley. There is a special thanks to Avery for never fitting into, otherwise there would be no cute picture taken of Jaxon in her swimsuit.

How are the other kids?

Some of you may be wondering how our "first-born dogs" are doing...well pretty good actually. After hearing about how Tater took the news with Avery I was nervous that they would never look at me again. It almost started out that way with Texas.
At first he would just lay and stare at us with this look like "I am no longer the cutest one in this house any more." And I think Petey was pretty clueless as to what was going on. But now, they have adjusted really well. Texas plays the uber protector. He almost never leaves her side and if someone is holding her that he barely knows he howls and whines the entire time.



Petey is very curious still, and just stares at her in all wonderment. Every time she makes a noise he runs to see what is going on and if he can help in any way. I am so happy that they are adjusting...because it would have broke my heart to have to part with either one of them. They are my "first born" you know!

Praise Jesus!

Well we decided that Jaxon needed a little Jesus in her soul so we took her to church for the first time. She thoroughly enjoyed everything from praise to Jack Reese's sermon. Of course my favorite part of the day was taking pictures of her in her beautiful white dress. It finally fits her!!

So when we got home from church I asked her, "wut did you fink of church today...did you wuv it?! (etc.)" And she preceded my questions by pooping all over her white dress and her quilt...no need to worry I got everything out...but I couldn't help but laugh.

She's Amazing

Ok...so it has been a while since we were last able to put any pictures up of Jaxon but I am making up for it by putting up tons. Since she has so many cute outfits and so little time to fit into them, I have made it a goal to take pictures of her in all of her clothes when they start to fit!! So here are a few.

This is her in her cute pajamas...and can I tell you she is the best little sleeper...and If I don't feed her quick enough, she doesn't cry...she just sucks on her little hand.















Now if her hand ain't doing it for her, her pacifiers always do juts the trick...this is my favorite passy because you can see her little mouth sucking on it...it is so funny!











Now she is striking a pose in my favorit GAP onesie...it's cute it has all these cute elephants on it and is sooooo incredibly soft.












This last picture is during a time where she is trying to push something out of her digestive track...it's so funny because this is the face she makes every time she needs to go to the bathroom.Other news on the Jaxon front...her belly button has finally fought through the umbilical cord...and she is an innie!! And she had her PKU test done today...and I thought I was going to pass out...She cried out of pain for the first time today and I hated it!! But she is a fighter and fussed less than I did.

Perfect Angel

Here are some more wonderful pictures of our beautiful little angel of a daughter. I love this first picture, she is just staring at her daddy and holding on to his fingers.



















And dare I say that she is perfect...she sleeps great at night. Sometimes it is hard to get her to go back to sleep, but it's so easy to stay up with her when she isn't fussy.















And she is definitely already posing for the cameras. She already knows that her Neena will be taking her pictures as often as possible...so she puts on her camera face pretty quick.

Little Ducky

Here are a few picks to tie you over till I have the enregy to blog again....Dont worry it will be soon!






This was just after the doctor handed her over. Under that hat is a full head of hair.









This is what she was wearing as she left the hosptial.











She pretends to sleep sometimes!! haha












M wanted to hold J and she loved every minute of it!!

CSI Doty Household

Ever since we have had our dogs, many mysteries have crossed our path. The few obvious ones are the cable going out because "someone" has chewed through the line (still no one has admitted to that), a few missing tennis shoes (but pieces were found in the back yard (no witnesses to this crime either), but within the last few months there were two crime scenes that we encountered and I am proud to say that my husband has put my mind at ease because of his Crime Scene Investigating skills. Of course I make fun of him for watching all of the "Dateline's," "60 minutes," etc. but they really do teach you a lot. Our first mystery happened a few months ago when I was pulling up to the house and Petey is running around the house...so I begin to panic because they have gotten out before and we luckily found Texas 20 miles away from our house...well I run to the back yard to see if Tex is still back there, and he is. Then I run to the gate to see if it is opened, and it isn't. Now my dogs can jump, but there is no way that Petey cleared our fence, so for the entire day we thought someone had jumped our fence and tried to steal our dogs...well come to find out Mitchell forgot to latch the gate the night before and Petey was skinny enough to get through...Tex on the other hand does not watch his diet and could not fit through the gate.

Now our last mystery is a little spooky at first, but again I am proud to say that I believe I am married to a very smart man. Well, two nights ago, after Michael's all star game we came home and needed to give our dogs a bath because they were out in our "swamp land of a backyard" all day long. So, Mitch goes to pull open our gate and if you were to just watch him you could see the terror on his face. He demands that I come over and check out what he is looking at because his mind is running so fast at the moment. He opens the gate and my mouth drops...what do we see? Well, one of our three dog houses is pushed up against our gate. Why is this so amazing? See our dog houses are placed on the other side of our house about 50 feet away from our gate. So again, we fear that someone within the last week or so was in our back yard and couldn't get out because we lock our gate from the outside...so our "perp" pushed the doghouse to the gate to jump our fence. Both of us feel icky about the whole thing, so after Mitch bathes our muddy dogs he goes to investigate. After 15 minutes of walking around the house with no shirt on, mosquitoes attacking him, and a flashlight in hand...he figures out what happened. First off, we have decided that there is no way to enter our backyard from the outside because the pretty side is facing out on the whole perimeter...Second...he checked each railing to see if there were any mud prints and there weren't any, not even on the dog house...Third...his were the only footprints...then it dawned on him...we actually do have a swampland in our backyard and during one of the monsoons that Abilene has seen for the past week literally flooded our back yard (it's disgusting) and our dog house was picked up by rising waters and floated on down the path to the gate and was halted by the gate. I think it is quite hilarious, but he figured it out! Forget CSI Miami...it's all about the Doty household.
