Jaxon learning to ride without training wheels. He is doing great.

Hiking to hidden waterfall and inspiration point. August 2009 Ricks Family Reunion :)

Abby swimming in Jenny's lake, we didn't take swimming suits :)

Jaxon and Ryan sleeping out on the trampoline.

Abby is starting to walk now and is doing wonderfully. She is so much fun. On our hike up to inspiration point Abby was in the backpack Ryan was carring and just jumping all over the place. I thought she would just jump right out. she is so full of energy.

We got to celebrate Jaxon's 4th birthday. I cannot believe that he is 4 years old already. For his birthday he wanted a little einstine rocket ship birthday cake. So this is how it turned out. I was pretty proud of myself. He had all his friends over for a party and we just had a wonderful time.

Well I decided it was about time to update our blog. so here it goes. This summer has just been crazy. It seems like all Ryan and I have done is say hi while one or the other is running out the door to the next event and hoping that the kids are taken care of. :) We have had so much fun.

It has been an eventful month for us up here in Rigby. Jaxon has just been begging us for a tramp, because all his friends have one and he didn't :) So we finally gave in and bought a trampoline for our family. We have had so much fun already on it. But, me being the cheapscate that I am by the time I had drug the whole family all around town Jaxon was so bored and tired that he told me he didn't even want one anymore he just wanted to go home. I had to laugh.

He can't wait to sleep outside on the tramp with his dad. Abby loves to be bounced all around by Jaxon. She just laughs up her guts, it is pretty funny.

Next time I'll see if I can get everything I wrote to publish. I'm still learning. Hope you have enjoyed.

Jaxon is so excited to have warm weather finally here. He loves to play outside and with his friends on the big dirt hill by our house. Needless to say we take baths and clean the tub every night. But it is a lot of fun. He absolutely loves sunbeams. We have to sing the sunbeam song every family night and then some. It is fun to be in primary with him. He starts swimming lessons in June and can hardly wait. He is so excited. He can't wait for his birthday party, yes it is not until August but that is all he can talk about. We keep telling him that it is going take a long time if he keeps talking about it, but oh well. He is scheduled to get his tonsils out and tubes put back in both ears on the 21st of May. Hopefully that will fix a lot of problems.



Abby is just as cute as can be. She is crawling, but not interested in walking yet. We put on her squeeky shoes to see if that would peek her interest, and it did, but only in jumping. Now she love to stand near anything she can hold on to and jump up and down. It is pretty funny. When Jaxon goes out to play she just pushes her face up to the screen door and waits for him to come back. She is a daddy's girl thru and thru. Her face lights up every night when Ryan comes home. She is full of personality. Abby had a wonderful birthday, I can't believe she is one already.

We are all doing great. It has been fun to try and join the world of bloggers. We'll see how it all goes.
