Catch-up Time!

Well a semester has come and gone since I have blogged... probably due to the fact I worked 2 jobs and went to school full time! Well, I love it! I have missed school!

Anyways, Nixon is getting huge! He is starting to say more and more words that I have no idea he even heard of before. This summer he got stitches twice in 2 weeks. Yupp our kid is that kid...or we are those parents haha I have not decided yet! Lets just say the kid needs a little more fear...and stairs are a weakness for him. For the summer, I worked in Idaho most of it, while Jeff was in Canada working on the farm. Nixon and I went back and forth to see him and work. I will never do that again! Too much driving, and Nixon slept in too many places making for bad sleeps, cranky baby making a cranky mama!

I got to see lots of family though and some friends. One of the days my mom and I spent a whole day making and canning salsa! It was way too much work and I have not touched it yet I am all Salsa'd out!

We had a lot of fun at my parents cabin, Jeff was trying some new wakeboard tricks and Nixon really enjoyed the water while it was warm out. Apparently we didn't have enough rough tube rides for him though since he would often start yawning or fall asleep on the tube.

We are getting geared up to start the Fall semester tomorrow and are eager to get done with school. We are only half way, but there is ending in sight! Sorry if we missed you this summer, we missed a lot of people and would have loved more time with friends and family, but hopefully next year!

He has grown so much! This is from March!

 He loves his spaghetti.

Winter Semester 2012

It has been way too long since I last posted, so I figured I should get on here and fill you all in!

Nixon has been growing so much and getting so big.  He just gets to be more and more fun all of the time and we are completely enjoying this stage!  He walks around 24/7 and is just so crazy, but he is just so cute and funny you gotta love em!

Nixon turned 1 on Jan 29, so we had a mini mini party for him.  Grandma and Grandpa Hall were here to celebrate with us, so we got some pizza and Nixon enjoyed his sugary cake!  I made Nixon a 3 tier topsy-turvy cake... it was a mini version of course, and he loved it!

 This was just a cup cake - his first one though!


 Present from G&G Kenly!
 The cake I made him!

 Nixon got his 1 year shots - had to get 6 of them! He was tough though like always!
All of his band aids made me laugh!

New Years Eve Haircut!!

Nixon got his hair cut on New Years Eve... it was time and we didn't really have much to do that night so here are some pictures of my cutting it.. and post hair cut!




Haha Nixon is afraid of the Vaccum... whimp!








Had to add these in here... hes such a turkey!!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas was very weird this year... It was just the three of us, so it didn't really feel like Christmas at all! However, it was fun to have Jeff around more during the Christmas break from school so that I could sleep more (from working night shifts) and him and Nixon got to bond even more!  Nixon didn't really catch onto the whole opening presents thing, but he enjoyed eating the wrapping paper, and playing with the boxes. Most of his presents he was scared of at first, but now he loves them!
We got to play lots of games which was really fun - Jeff got Ticket to Ride which he had been eyeing for MONTHS now, so we had a nice tournament of that and some good ol' Dominoes.
On Christmas Eve we went out for dinner - it was the first time that Nixon got a meal ordered for him.. and he ate NONE of it! What a little turkey he is!! We also all opened some new PJs, and watched some Christmas movies, it was a blast!
Here are a few pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.


Christmas Eve Jamba!!!
