Decorating the Christmas Tree

Dax is at such a fun age right now for Christmas. He wants everything that is on the T.V. and wants to watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music all the time. He loved helping me with putting up the tree. He keep asking me if there was plenty more ornaments to hang. He was so proud of himself for getting the ornaments to be right were he thought I would want them. He was a great help.
From start...to finish. Dax did a great job.

My World is about to turn upside down!!

TWINS!!!!!!
6 weeks ago Chris and I found out we were going to bring another angel into this world. I was so excited based on the two miscarriages that I had in the last year. I was scared to tell anyone and very nervous for myself. I did feel like I has to be brave enough to make a Dr. appointment so I did.

I had to wait until November 17th to make sure everything was going to be okay. I was not sure if I was going to make it. Well it is now the 20th and the much anticipated day has come and gone.

Sitting in the Dr. Smiths Office with Chris I was a little nervous. Was the heartbeat going to be okay, did everything look fine and all the other things that go on in your mind. As Dr Smith walked in the room I became very excited. He said "lets take a look at this baby". As he puts the gel on my stomach and starts searching for the baby he gives me a look and says "I never joke about this". As Chris is sitting on the couch in the office I looked at the Doctor and said joke about what? In a very calm voice says "it is TWINS" I was in shock. I looked at Chris and he is as white as a ghost. Doctor Smith looks at Chris and says do you want to come see this? In a way I wasn't sure that he really wanted to see what was happening.

Chris walked over very slowly and looked, Yes it couldn't of been more clear, there were definitely two sacks. Still in shock the doctor says "well lets listen to their heartbeats". Everything looked great!

After I sat up Dr. Smith looked at Chris and I am said do you have any questions? The first thing that came out of Chris mouth was "do you prescribe antidepressant's for husbands." Now I knew he was in as much shock as I was.

The rest of the night I don't think that we really comprehended what was going to happen. Everyone we told was overjoyed, as we were thinking what are we going to do?

As for three days later I am still not sure I have totally comprehended what I will be going through, but have received more love and support then I could have ever imagined.

Trip to the Zoo with Grandma Julie

This is the only picture that grandma got with a real animal.


Grandma Julie took Dax to the zoo on Saturday. I am not a fan of the Zoo so my mother in law was nice enough to take Dax for me. He had a great time. Baby Suri was his favorite. Dax really didn't want his pictures taken with any real animals so the best we got was this fake lion.

Dax's 3rd Birthday!!

Daxton turned 3 on the 27th. We had a great birthday party with all his family who loves him very much. We had Corn soup which is his favorite, cake and Ice Cream and had a whole bunch of fun. I am sure his favorite present was from his Aunt Lisa and his cousins, Annie, Brady and Marki. He got a Utah football uniform, helmet and ball.

The Annual Wayne County Parade

We all went down to the annual Wayne Weekend and boy was it fun. It all started out with the parade that starts at one end then because it is so short the come back the other way, so we get to see everything twice and let me tell you that once is defiantly enough. The we get to go to a Demolition Derby, now let me tell you that I think this will be the last year that we attend that. We did have a great time with our family and we always love this weekend.
