My baby is getting so BIG!

Xan is going to be turning 3 on Monday. He is reaching all of these milestones and I just dont want him to grow up! He just got his first big boy hair cut. He has such beautiful thick wavy surfer "Kowabunga" hair that I just could never bring myself to do it. Well this last week I took him to Kristina and we took the plunge. He is beyond horrible when we take him, and his hair grows so fast I figured it was time to go short. He looks so handsome but so grown up!

He also has all of a sudden decieded that he should be potty trained. Yep. Like over night, he went from diapers to big boys without one accident. (Cross your fingers) even through the night.

Sunday we are going to Salt Lake to Auntie Jess's house for his annual Aunt Jess B-day party! It's gonna be fun and I will take lots of pictures.

Till then I will tell you all of my favorite things about Xander Nixon Jones....

• He always wakes up so happy! "my sun, my sun is awake mommy!"



• He gives the best kisses ever!



• He tells me probably 50 times a day that he loves me.



• He only eats 2 things..... Hot "dotdogs" and Chocolate milk



• He Loves Legos Starwars



• When he goes potty he says "Wait. I hear something! I hear potty mommy"



• When he is not body slamming and karate chopping his sisters face...he really does love her



• He loves his Daddy...whenever he hears a Harley, any Harley, he runs to the door to see if Nick has gotten home.

We LOVE having Xan in our life! We would never be the same without him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

Eastern Idaho State Fair 08

This may just be the last year that our kids will sit in strollers at the fair and we took full advantage of it. Xan actually preferred to be in his stroller, The little lazy kid didn't want to ride the rides either. Good thing we didn't buy him the $30 wrist band that we almost got him. He is only tall enough to ride 6 rides any how.
Easton, River, and Jaxon also came with us to ride the rides.

Kynlee was a bit hesitant on the merry go round but she had fun by the end!

River rode with Xan. He wasn't super happy cause he wanted to ride by himself but being the over protective mother that I am, I wouldn't let him. Maybe next year :)
Kynlee had a great time, although her piggy tails didn't make it past the parking lot.
Xander had decided that he is too big for naps. Guess this one just snuck up on him!

River Mac and Beasty Easty
I WANT TO RIDE!!!!
See ya next year fair!

Mini Gamers

So my kids are 1 and 2, almost 3 and they love love love video/computer games. Tonight we were out to grandmas and they were so cute trying to play "Chumbob andPatrick". The happiness lasted all of about two seconds before Kynlee got bored and jumped up and turned off the playstation, which made Xander burst into tears instantly.

Well it was cute for a min.

Can't keep them clean

Seriously do any of you know how to keep a child clean. All of the pictures of my kids lately involve dirt, food, or both. Usually both.

Playing in the dog pen aka "Club House"

Chocolate Chips


And not to be out done.....


Baking a cake at Grandma's


First Ice cream Cone

Do all kids need three baths a day? Or is that only mine?

Sturgis Baby!

So I am a little behind on my blogging posts. Nick and I took a little trip with some friends of ours to Sturgis on our Harley. It was a VERY long ride sitting on the back of a bike but we had a good time and made a lot of great memories! Nick is already planning on going again next year. I am hoping my butt recovers by then. I think it may be permanently bruised.

Momma's little helper

I have been trying to get our front porch painted. It has looked so bad for so long. Xander ALWAYS wants to help mom paint. Usually it's inside the house and it's a firm no. But today I decieded to strip him down and let him go to town.








So just remember. the next time you come over, and you think our porch looks like it has been painted by a two year old, it is probably because it has!

Super Granny

So Xander has a new fascination........It's Super Granny! He LOVES LOVES LOVES this game and he drives Nick and I crazy with it. He always wants to play 2 players so that one of us has to play it with him.

The other day he conned me into playing and when we beat the bad guys and saved all the kitties he gave me a high 5 and a big hug and said in the sweetest little voice. " Mom, You're my Best Friend"

I love being a mommy! Do all two year olds play computer games?
