Disappearing Macaroni Trick

2 blogs in one week?!! what?! i know, i know...over achiever right? well i figured i'd put the new jaxon video on tonight because with turkey day around the corner and a long awaited trip out of a-town...i probably wont be blogging again for a while. so happy holidays everyone. enjoy some turkey...and jaxon's disappearing macaroni trick!

wow. it has been so long since i have blogged that i almost forgot how. sorry for my absence, i got hooked to another series of books and seriously i think i have read somewhere around 23 books within the last 3 weeks....insane, i know. but well worth the obsession. Jaxon herself finds herself fixed on one book. it sits on my shelf between 50 or so more...and this is the book she always picks...and sits down with "A Story of Texas Football." Mitch is sooo proud.

today, November 21st a day that i had been waiting for, for about 7 months. why you ask?? well it is the opening day for Twilight!!! amazingly enough i went to the 12:01 viewing last night and went to bed at 3:00 this morning with the biggest smile on my face. the movie was great...and if you are a fan of the book i suggest you watch it. if not...you should still watch it...but there will be a few things you will have missed out on. the movie wasn't perfect because there were a couple scenes missing that i think really should have been in there....and there needed to be just a few more kissing scenes....but all in all i was so excited and loved every minute of it...i laughed out loud maybe 30 times. it was great. k so moving on....

Jaxon is a goofball and a half. get ready for an update on her:

she has a mouth full of teeth...her hair is getting thicker and one little patch is longer than the rest and sometimes it looks like a hideous duck tail...so i curl it with my finger...she points at everything and says "dat" until you tell her what it is...she goes crazy when dora the explorer comes on...no worries i will video her one day...she has a couple of phrases that if you are around her enough you know what she is saying...for example. if you give her something she says "teku" which i believe is thank you...if you ask her "where's the so and so" she will find it and say "dAReeeeeeeeeee" and really what she is saying there is "there it is"...it's high pitched and everything.

i put a video on here of her and her cackling at petey...she loves these dogs.

Funny Faces

About a week ago Jaxon discovered her bottom lip. She literally learned how to stick it out when she thought the time was necessary. Well, a couple days ago the bottom lip evolved into something more devastating. First what you need to know is that when we say anything involving the word "bed" life is over as we know it...so to provoke this hilarious face, I threw the B word out there a few times.

Lastly, Tex felt that he needed to be added to a blog, so he threw on a pair of Baby J's glasses and asked if he looked cute.

Drama Queen?

Mitchell texted me tonight while I was working and the message contained this: WOW the Cross Canadian Ragweed concert is so loud that it is shaking the house. To which I begin to think of how much I love it when his inner drama queen comes out. Well needless to say, I get off of work...pull up into the driveway and while I am still sitting in the car I can hear and feel the vibrations of the concert. Then I walk to the house to unlock the door and I can literally hear the windows shaking. CRAZY! We live atleast a mile and half away from where the concert took place and I could hear every word. Don't they know people are trying to sleep?! But obviously not me...because it's 12:00 and I am posting.

Utter Frustration

Ok I need someone's help...anybodies. So I have this kickin new background right...I'm totally excited...and it is from the cutest blog something or other site. Well my last blog background was from pyzam.com...well their nappy orange tag line is still at the top of my blog and I want it to go away!!! like now. so if anyone has any clue how to remove the nappiness from the site I would love you forever.

Goofy Girl

Yesterday I was doing the dishes...and suddenly realized how quiet things were in the living room. I surveyed the room to see if I could see this brown headed baby in front of the couch...and I couldn't so I had to leave my kitchen to get a better look of what may be going on. Well this is what I find. Jaxon decided to get a closer look at her world of fun and joined them in her basket o' toys.She stayed in there for 30 minutes.

Now...I love my friends. Like, really, totally, and absolutely adore them. I've decided that I have surrounded myself with wonderful people who love me for me...and I love even more that they have embraced my daughter and husband. The other day I went to check the mail...only to find a package between my screen door and the big door...What could it be? I opened it up and screamed (quite literally). My bestest friend Val found baby J the most perfect item of clothing EVER. check it out. That's right "future fan of twilight" i love it. She looks like her lips are swollen in this pic but she is just blowin "raspberries." And the band aid is for her shots that she had yesterday :( She was a trooper tho...she only cried a little and wasn't fussy at all throughout the day.
If you can see it in this picture she has pig tails. kind of. The only way I could get her to sit long enough was to put the Backyardigans on...but I had to try it out.
Have I mentioned how much she loves her rocking chair that Aunt Ashley got her....she climbs in and out of it a 70 times a day.

My sister in love, Ashley, tagged me...so I guess I need to follow along with the rules! Ashley has been in my life since I started dating Mitchell and her and Heather combined make me the happiest sister in law ever...I couldn't have married into a better family. Love ya girl. K so here are the rules;

1. Link to the person who tagged you (i don't know how...but it's Ashley)2. Post the rules on your blog3. Write six random thoughts about yourself4. Tag six or so people at the end of your post5. Let each person know he or she has been tagged6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted

Six random things about me:

1. Even when I am dead tired I stay up every night reading till 1 or 2 in the morning.

2. I have so many favorite TV shows it makes me sick (has anyone watched the EX List? Totally adorable and I love it)

3. I let my dogs lick all over my face...even with their nappy breath.

4. I know exactly where Kelly Clarkson was the day Britney Spears shaved her head (bwahahaha...actually I can't remember but my friend Val can tell you).

5. Jaxon is the funniest person I know...I taught her to stick her tongue out...is that wrong?

6. I hate when people pop their knuckles...it literally makes me cringe.

I tag: Valerie (surprise)

Eep it's been forever.

Well hey guys, sorry for the "long time no post" business. A lot of nothing has happened in the last couple weeks. David is back in Iraq. My uncle is having a cat scan tomorrow to see what's going on in that body of his, Jaxon is growing and running, and talking (well I can understand her), and I'm reading again...that's actually what's been going on. Anyway, I know some are dying for pictures of baby J, so here you go.First I would like to formally introduce you all to your backyard friends the Backyardigans! One of Jaxon's amazing babysitters found these and sent them our way. Thank you Sarah...Jaxon is so blessed with so much love...I spotted Uniqua the other day at Books a Million...I'm going to have to go get her to complete the set.She really loves these guys...she carries Pablo and Austin around everywhere.And since you haven't seen a video in a while...here is one. It's really not much of anything except Farmer Jo is playing the harmonica for about 10 seconds...it's funny watching her really breakdown...of course she doesn't do it that long in the video...but it's funny either way. (disclaimer: ignore annoying lady voice in video...bleh I hate hearing myself)

And lastly, a dedication to the beautiful bride and her new hubby. Kellianne, you were absolutely flawless that day. Y'all looked so happy and MFEO (made for each other...for those who haven't seen Sleepless in Seattle). I'm so happy I was able to share that day with you, your family, and friends. I debated sharing one of Kellianne's classy beautiful pictures with y'all, but everybody else did that so check out their blogs...i just wanted to show her true goofy side :)

It's elimination time!

Speaking of friends...a shout out to the coolest girls out there. I don't think I have ever had so much fun in all my life. I seriously have never consistently laughed so hard. I will never look at Tea, Dr. Pepper, crowded movie theatres, Bebe's kids, Convenient stores/McDonald's and the Exxons across the street, Valtoids, a light bulb, east and west...or left and right, Twilight, Pig-Latin, Directions from a phone, frenship bracelets...actually even cooler...book club bracelets, airports: CD&E, the same way without giggling to myself first.

I love you guys...uff-ray.
