WE DID IT!!

Well after 2 years and 4 months we decided it was time to get rid of the "BINK". Chris and I had no clue how this was going to happen, and if Daxton survived we were not sure we were going to. It all started one day when he wanted a MR Potato Head. I was not going to buy him ANOTHER one so I told him if he would go home and throw ALL of his binks away then he could have it. He thought long and hard then I said "okay is it Mr Potato Head or the Bink's" he said MR Potato Head. I was shocked to say the least. When we got home I had him gather all of the Binks and then we thru them in the Garbage and we haven't seen then since.
Dax was so proud of himself as was I proud of him, although it was a very long week for both Dax and us, we did manage and we are now BINK FREE!!

This is Dax getting ready to throw his Bink away...
And this is actually what happened!
I still can not believe that they are gone.
There are a few days that I would LOVE to have them back.

We can't get enough of our UTES!!

We Decided to take Dax to see the Utah Basketball Team play the rivals from down south.
It was a great game and dax had the best time. We bought him a Utah basketball and he sat like an angel watching the game. I thin khe is a true Ute Fan like his mom and dad.


Watching the Utes win in over time!
He loved the game.

It doesn't get better then this!

Thursday night we decided to make pizza for dinner and Daxto n really wanted to help. Who knew that making pizza could be so fun. Dax's favorite part was spreading the cheese

The pepperoni were second best
He loved spreading the dough

And then the olives.

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year. We love to be together with the family and remember the love our Savior had for each of us. This was the first year Dax actually knew what was going on and who gets to come visit on Christmas Eve. He got very excited to have Santa come. Here are a few pictures of what Dax received for Christmas and yet again he was spoiled!!

This is Christmas Eve after the kids open their PJ's from grandma and grandpa.

I believe this was Dax's favorite gift. Grandma Julie loved the colors and didn't know that the lions are 0-12.

We decided to take pictures of the cousins in matching sweater for Christmas, they turned out really cute so I decided to post them. I love how much our kids love each other.

Daxton's Surgery

Daxton had to have his tonsils out and tubes in on the 10th of December. I was told this would be the worst two weeks of my life and indeed it was. It started with the doctor taking him away with out him being asleep and him screaming "mommy mommy" if that doesn't tear your heart out nothing will. I kissed him and then burst into tears. It was the worst thing I have ever had to deal with until he came out of surgery and then it just go worse. I meet him in the recovery room and he was just screaming, I picked him up he put his head on my shoulder and fell back to sleep. Then we got to go home. It was so sad to see him in pain and hurting. The one food in this world that he loves he couldn't have for TWO WEEKS, yes TWO WEEKS and that was chips. Chris had to hide all the chips and boy was he mad. Well the two weeks are over and he is going much better, I think we are on the mend. Here are some pictures of him in the hospital. I didn't get a picture of his bed due to he was never in it.




He has no clue what is about to happen to himHe just had a pill to make him tired I was afraid he was going to fall out of the wagon.
This was before the surgery can you imagine the face after?

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving with Chris' family. We love to hang out with the fam. We are really grateful for Joey and his family, we love to be with them and enjoy the time we spend with them. Dax doesn't like his picture taken lately so I got what I could.

Brinlee, Megan and Emery. We love you all!

After we spent the day with Chris' family we went to my parents to drop off Dax so that Lisa and I could go shopping at 5:00 in the morning. We had a great time shopping. It is funny that Lisa's kids want to have their picture taken with me and my own son fights me. I did what I could to get some Thanksgiving pictures.
