Probably.

Ok. So probably, it's been a while since I posted my last Jaxon blog....but probably I have been busy. I'm lying...really I just found a new series of books to read and I just haven't wanted to sit at the computer.
But, because I love you all, probably, I put together a million pictures from our fun Christmas to our crazy Monday night.

Here is our little goof-ball on Christmas Morning...this bundle of joy wasn't sure what she was about to get herself into.

Probably she was a little excited.

And probably she had no idea where we were going to put all of these new toys...o wait that was my probably and not hers. check out my morning hair. eep!

Probably the best gift of all...her little Tinkerbell 4 wheeler...remember this toy later on in the blog.

She was very excited to see Dora on Nana and Poppi's front lawn...and probably she wanted to take her home with her.

Probably Brooks was treading on new territory...Jaxon had apparently forgot how to share over the holidays...and was really into taking away Avery's toys and not wanting to share hers...just like her daddy. jk.

However, Jaxon and Avery tested their Tinkerbell batteries till they needed a new charge...so update over Christmas...Jaxon learned a few more names over the holidays...she decisively began calling most of her grandpas, papa. She has a papa, pops, papaw, and a poppi...all sound like papa...and then she learned Heather's name, YAYA! and of course Neena was already instilled into her brain. And now she has a new name...one morning on the way to Grannys house...Jaxon just started yelling "Giggi! Giggi!" So I know Cathy has already staked a claim on her grandkids calling her giggi...but it's too cute to try and correct. She also has gotten really good at saying, "No." Really good.

For New Years, we went to a lake cabin of a friend of ours off of lake Brownwood. We had a blast enjoying things we don't have...like Blu-Ray dvd players...huge, ginormous TVs, and a Wii...and my body was sore the next day. anyway, I took 4 pics while we were there...Jaxon is all of them.

Here she is eating pizza at the table like a big girl.

And the other was of her in the huge ginormous bed...and we were eating breakfast that her daddy made for us while we were in bed!!

So our entertaining Monday night. Let's start with Sunday...while trying to put Jaxon's hair in a pony tail...i noticed a little bump on the back of her head. It was about the size of a mosquito bite and was red...so I thought to myself hmmm....probably a little bug bite. Well later that evening Mitch noticed it...when I completely had forgotten about it...and then he started mentioning all these scary options like her having a staff infection. So Monday rolls around and as I'm getting off work and he is getting done with practice he decides he wants to take her to a walk-in type of clinic that is by my grandmas house. There were no other patients, so he just decided...well why not.

After sitting in the house for about 30 minutes, Mitch calls and says "why don't you come up here." Gulp. So I lock up Petey, run out the door and I get there as fast as Mitchell's truck would get me there. I enter the office and the ladies lead me to my angel who I hear crying...and I turn the corner, and she is just so happy to see me. Well, what's going on? Probably it wasn't a bite...it was an abscess...what does that mean? I dunno. But the Dr. recommended to slice it open, get all the gunk out...and give her antibiotics...Gulp (again). Well, if that's whats best.

So before we head to the "operating room" I see a picture of Tinkerbell. And I show Jaxon...and she points and says "dere's Tinka!" She was just so excited.

Next room...no Tinka. In fact, it's just pretty Vogue models and Jaxon points to each and says "Tinka? Tinka?" Like, why in the world would you take me away from Tinka...well the Dr. and assistant are ready and they wrap her up like a burrito...Jaxon was already not into that...Mitchell had to hold her head...I held her feet...one nurse held her butt area...and the other nurse was the scalpel lady...and then the Dr. pulled out the needle. And omigosh if I could have passed out from seeing what was going into her head I would have...but I turned away and Mitchell saw the rest.

What he saw was the medicine going into the infected area...then I glanced and saw a scalpel...i turned away again...and Mitchell said "wow." I looked again and I see him pulling "stuff" out but really all I see is blood just everywhere...I look away again...and then I hear Mitch say "uhh I wasn't expecting that." Curiosity killed me, and I see the Dr. spreading it open with scissors and just ugh...ok no more description because it was basically over. We sat her up...they wrapped her up while she was still screaming...and gave her a sucker...after the sucker magic started to work she looked at me and goes "Tinka?"

Oh, my sweetheart. So here are the after pictures of our war veteran. She is always so pretty in pink.

Petey checked on her...and no further development in the Petey case...just know that him and Tex have yet to be in the same room together.

Today, our lunch menu consisted of Ramen noodles and Peas...she wanted to play with my chopsticks and so I let Jaxon-son give it a try.

Not too bad...definitely better than her daddy.

She's a goofball like him too.

Heartbroken and don't know what to do.

So...you all know how much i love my family...my husband who is fantastic, my daughter who is perfect...the fetus growing inside of me...and the two fur balls who have completed my life since 3 and 4 years ago. Well, (this blog is about my dogs btw), most of you know that my dogs have a history of fighting with each other...not with anyone or anything else...just eachother. It's the alpha male in Petey that just triggers something sometimes and man can he take it out on Texas.

Well we had been keeping them separated (one inside and one outside) while we were away from the house...until one got separation anxiety or something (boxers get that) and began peeing in the house. We tried the other...after a few days the same thing happened...peeing in the house...which is just stupid for potty trained dogs...i mean they can go from 8 at night to 10 in the morning without peeing in the house but an hour and a half during the day time and it's enough to make me vomit when i walk through the front door.

Needless to say we couldn't have the house smelling that way so we decided we had to keep them outside. They have been getting along fine for months...maybe something changed.

So today they fought...and I have been crying since 5 pm because I know we have to make a decision. Tex is ok. The fight was alot worse than his scars are going to be...but it's not fair to him to let Pete stay here...it's not safe for one of our kids to play in the backyard with him back there...because you just never know what COULD happen. And Pete has been a saint with Jaxon...he lets her climb, pull, pet, and kiss all over him...but after seeing what he did to Tex today, AHHHH! So, I'm heartbroken.

One of two things is about to happen...one...which is the happier one is that we build two pins (that we don't have money for) and just bring them in together at night which makes me kind of sad because they do love eachother (sometimes) and the second choice which thoroughly breaks my heart is to give Petey to someone else. I feel like I would be failing him or something...I know he's just a dog...but OMG if one person says that to me I will probably scream...they have never been just dogs to me and certainly never been treated that way. So if I give him away who do I give him to? I want someone who will spoil him like I do...love on him at night...rub his back...feed him people food...rub his ears...play flashlight chase...just all our little things...but I will never know if I give him away. And...AND he is like the first initial thing that David gave to me...y'all know my strained relationship with my brother!!! Petey was his dog first...and when Dave comes to visit me I know in part it's to see and wrestle with his dogs. Sorry for the long, exasperated vent about my K9 babies, but if anyone has any GOOD ideas I would love to hear them.

J Blair

Well I got this new software and this is just a small video I made in a few minutes. I was just learning how to do a couple of things. Thought you would enjoy! Make sure you pause JD's play list at the bottom or two songs will try to play at the same time.

I love you!!

Well....first off let me tell everyone this is Mitchell. I don't usually write on this thing, it is all JD, but tonight I basically hacked into "our" account because I wanted to take a minute to tell my wife how much I love her. I know the Christmas holidays are hard on you, but I wanted to let you know that the holidays are great for me because of you!! I get to be with the most precious wife that has ever got to wear a wedding ring and the best mother that has ever given birth to a child...or adopted one...hahaha! . You are the world to me and without you in my life I would be lost. I thank God everyday for the love that we share, the beautiful family he has given us, the friendship and love to always be there for each other, but most of all for the time that he has given for us to hold hands and express our love. My love for you will never die!! When you are going through hard times so am i because I hate to see you hurt! Also know that not only does Jaxon love her "momma", but I love you for who you are and what you stand for! Thank you for giving me that one chance to take you out a date almost 9 years ago!! You are awesome!! For those of you rolling your eyes (probably my sisters) hush....sometimes these things need to be said!! HAAHAHAHAH...I love you JD!

I'm The Scgrinch!

Well, it's the most wonderful time of the year...for most people. I have developed a little of Scrooge's and the Grinch's attitude and I'm hoping that before Christmas Eve arrives I will pull a Cindy Lou Who and remember that the true meaning of Christmas has nothing to do with decorations and money and what you can and cannot give (because of the lack of money). You know...i love Christmas decor too...it probably is my most favorite thing, i love the lights...i love the stars and the snowmen...really i could go all day...but this year, it's all just beyond me. Anyway where is this rant going?? Oh. Right. Well my wonderful sister in law who is the most amazing photographer ever took some great pictures of the 3 of us, and mostly of this angel of a girl...and when i look at my fluffy hatted pictures of my precious daughter...a little bit of cindy lou who figures itself out in me and i am sooooo thankful to have a precious family to spend the holidays with and celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus...so there you go...Cindy Lou Who has found her way out of me...but I still wish I could give more than I am this year.

So, I'm moving on to brighter news...Jaxon looooves chocolate. She had little nibbles of my hershey bar last night...and couldn't stop asking for more, and this morning mitchell went to get doughnuts...and returned with a chocolate one for her. I'm pretty sure she finished it before me...and left some remains on her face!!

And if she wasn't already the biggest goober in the world...she decided that it is more fun to climb in and out of the the bottom of her stroller than it is to actually sit in it. Anyway...happy holidays...to all...and if you haven't recieved a Christmas card yet...it's because I haven't sent them :) and they will be more like Happy New Year cards! So Bah Humbug to all and to all a good night. JK Merry Christmas and Praise the King.

Cousinhood of the traveling boots

This is the story of 2 cousins who live too far away from each other.

They love each other very very much...and over Thanksgiving they shared many kisses...











And surprise faces too. But the one thing they really had in common was their love for their new shoes!!












They were green with eyes and a smiley face.













And while Avery clearly called them her frog boots...Jaxon pointed and said "dat...dat..." which of course means, "I love my frog boots too, Cousin Avery."

Not only did they run all over the country, but they mowed it too! With their wonderful Aunt Heather and Macy Lou. (Jaxon's melon is poking out of the top of the wagon)

And when they were through with the tractor and jumping in leaves...it was off to house to watch some TV.

Their Neena was in Heaven all through the night while all of her granddaughters watched Dora by her side.

Now Jaxon is lonely but still has her stylin boots to remind her of her country roots!

We are already missin our time in Smithville and can't wait to go back for Christmas!!!

In other news I have now seen Twilight in the theater 3 times...and the last time was the most memorable because I was able to drag Mitchell to the theater with me to see it...and I wasn't just pleased to hear that he liked it...I was more excited about the fact that we left the theater with him asking questions about the book...and the next books...and the next movies!!! I mean he was really interested. I love him.

Oh! and in other news...I guess I haven't made my formal blog announcement...and since Danni already has...I guess I need to. Jaxon is going to be a big sis. EEP! I have no idea how far along I am...but my first appointment is tomorrow morning. And this little nudger is no different from the last...I have already been huggin the toilet for the last 3 weeks. Wahoo!
