Best Birthday Present

Today is my birthday so of course my best present would come from Jaxon. He sang Happy Birthday to me all day long and kept giving me hugs and kisses. Here are 2 versions of him singing Happy Birthday. One of them is how we sing it in church with the "Happy Birthday, God Bless You" then I tried to get him to sing to mommy and he got it a little mixed up. I loved it either way!





Sorry but I don't know how to turn it. The outfit is another blog notice him showing off the boots in the second one.

I Love You Ma'am!

Jaxonism:
To mommy - "I love you ma'am!"
Back story: Jaxon was playing restaurant so he was calling Blake and I "sir" and "ma'am". So cute!

That's How God Made Me!

One night, Jaxon was doing his usual thing of asking a million questions - who, what, when, where, why, who, ...
So Blake asked him why he asked so many questions.
Jaxon replied, "Because that's how God made me."

Movie Watching

This is how Jaxon has been watching movies lately. We got him a portable DVD player for Christmas so he loves his own little T.V. We love that we don't have to watch the same movie a million times even though we really got it for long trips in the car. He also likes to watch it in his room at times like he has a T.V. in his room. He did tell me a long time ago that he needs one up on the wall like Mommy and Daddy have in their bedroom though. Keep dreamin kid!

Snow Day

Friday, January 29 (Kansas Day) we finally had our first snow day! We were so excited! Especially since our heater decided to quit working - again. Fortunately we have service guard through Black Hills Energy. They brought us some space heaters and finally rigged it up to work good enough until the part gets in. (The last one took 3 weeks.)
Jaxon was so excited. He asked us if we could get the Christmas tree out. As far as he's concerned when it snows it is Christmas.
Brent came by on the 4-wheeler in the morning with Alex, Ava, and Ella on a car hood on the back. They had so much fun they even went out again on Saturday. Blake and I went for a ride also. (Mommy needs some snow pants - frozen butt!) Jaxon had a blast in the snow but when he came in his hands and feet were really red so we got him in a warm bath. He was crying because it hurt saying, "Mommy, I was out tooooo loooonngg!"

Daddy's turn










It was a fairly dry snow so yesterday (Sunday) Blake was able to take Jaxon out and make a snowman when it was wetter and melting. Yesterday they made a Jaxon snowman with a mohawk and today it was a daddy snowman (no picture of him sorry).






It was a great mini-break from school. Mommy really starting missing her nap she'd gotten used to around 2:30 though. Hopefully the restful weekend will help us get through this week with 100's day at school, concessions, bell choir, and quiz bowl. Here's hoping for another snow day! :)

A Little Homeschool

Jaxon didn't have preschool last week because the church is doing construction (long story.) So he wanted to do some school at home. I knew that M was coming up at school so we did some M stuff. We read some M books and I printed off some M papers to work on. We read Mouse Paint where these mice get in paint and mix colors to make new colors. I got out our finger paints so Jaxon could mix the colors himself.







Then I had a cookbook on cute snack ideas for kids to make. So we made mouse ice cream. All you need is ice cream, oreos, M&M's, and we used licorice (the book suggests sprinkles which are too small too handle). I think you get the gist from the pics.

Days of the Week Song

Here is Jaxon singing the Days of the Week song that he learned at preschool. I think he sang it through twice and just finishes when he feels like it. Grandma says he's ready for Kindergarten now!
