Daxton is growing up to quick...I remember enjoying Khloe grow up. sitting on the floor, reading, or just rocking her. I feel like Ive missed so much about this kid. We have been so busy in the first 6 months of his life. And that stupid "cloud" that new moms get after a kid is born, i feel like Im just coming out of it. FINALLY! I really enjoy when Khloe naps just so I get one on one time with him. He has started to move around on the floor, stand if holding on, and if Khloe will give him any part of her day he soaks it in. I just love him...Im a bit in shock that he is still as big as he really is...
 Khloe found this "Bed" at the furniture store the other night. The trashiest item in the store but she had soooooo much fun. Steve and I actually sat down and enjoyed her being entertained! 
She also told us Walter could have one of the beds...We miss our Cheyenne friends!
 Khloe sat the entire sacrament in time out....in a new ward, and a SMALL new ward, every family gets their own bench its so small:-) 
I think we made a good first impression!

 I found CUTE PJ's at $2 a piece the other day at childrens place. I was really hopping to get a cute picture of them smiling but Daxton is mad and Khloe was proud she made him cry...I just give up taking pictures...

 Many people have asked if its hard to live in my parents house...and no! I have enjoyed the simplicity of not having a house. I get to spend LOTS of time with my kids. Every night I get to rock Daxton to sleep EVEN if Steve is at work late. Every once in a while my mom will take Dax and Im able to spend the evening hanging out with Khloe. Im sure they are ready for us to leave but its been a  nice change of pace. 
On that note, at the most 2 months left till the house is done and 1 month down! and the house is coming along fast!
 our treat at Target, I LOVE THE POPCORN!!! and since i lost another 10 pounds(45 total!!) i figured I could splurge on a snack...

last but not least he can now go from sitting to crawling position...its only a matter of time before he is crawling...and he is ALMOST 7 months old!

Trip to Idaho

The week we moved and tried to settle in, we got a phone call from Steve's parents letting us know that his grandpa(97 years old!) was going to be passing away soon. Steve had taken 9 days off and we kinda hopped that it would happen during the week he had off so we could enjoy a small trip to Idaho. That did not happen. In fact grandpa died the Tuesday Steve went back to work. Luckily we were able to take 2 more days off to go to the funeral.
Please don't think this sounds heartless, we all loved grandpa but he was ready to be back with his wife and it was the best thing for him. 
with that said...we had QUITE the trip!
on the way there I dinged the car, ripped my shirt, spilt everything that I tried to drink and hurt my knee! I'm 100% sure I need a mini-van but I'm not ready to commit to a "mom car". Khloe only slept for about 30 minutes of the 8 hour drive...Daxton didn't do much sleeping either...



This was Daxtons first time sitting in a high chair! 


 When we finally got home, Khloe and Daxton just sat and watched Bubble Guppies, it was perfect!
this is the most exciting thing ever....our foundation is poured, its behind the lumber, and today they started putting up the lumber up...I really don't know what they are doing, but Its looking great! 
two months left!!
