Family Fun Circus

A few weeks ago there was a Family Fun Circus that was in Sublette so Jaxon and I went with our friend's the Goods. Jaxon had never been to the circus so I think this was a good starting point because it was so small so anything bigger after will seem even better.
I was really proud of him though. They kept trying to get us to buy everything and made it very enticing to the kids but I told him that he could pick out one thing (since I'd spend $3 on popcorn, $3 on cotton candy, $2 on a CAN of pop, and even though he got in "free" I had to pay $12 bucks to get in). He found a blow up Spongebob toy he wanted and even though he wanted other stuff he stuck with wanting the Spongebob and he didn't cry other stuff.
We also got a picture with Spongebob and Patrick but we put all the kids in it since it was $6 and we'll just make copies - sshhh!
Jaxon's favorite part was these brother who came out and did a little physical comedy skit kind of like the Three Stooges - just like his daddy!

Waiting for the show to start:

Planning

Jaxon has been planning his Halloween costume for next year even before we had finished this year's Halloween. He did have the next 5 years planned out with different super heroes. Then we started talking about his favorite show Phineas and Ferb and he could be Perry the Platypus which he thought was great and even had characters for mommy and daddy picked out. Now all of a sudden he wants to be Santa Claus for Halloween! He is so excited about it. He wants me to buy it for him now. I don't know where this came from - he wouldn't even get close to Santa Claus over Christmas because he was scared of him. He even wants me to make a Santa Claus cake for his birthday this year. He has it all planned out that Jaxon, Granny and mommy will make the cake together.
He is such a crack-up! I wanted to blog this before I forgot and who knows what he'll actually end up with at Halloween - stay tuned!

Jaxonism:
I stayed home with Jaxon today because he was sick. I, of course, was in my sweats most of the day since it was just us. I was putting my hair up in a half-pony when Jaxon said, "No mommy! Leave it down! It's not adorable when you put it up!"

Guitar Hero

Blake and I got Guitar Hero for each other as our Valentine's Day gift (*cough* excuse to get new Wii game *cough*). Anyway, we've all enjoyed it. It is so addicting and hard to stop playing. I'd hate to see my mom on it - lol!
Here is Jaxon enjoying it. He likes to do the freestyle with is own Mii person. I was trying to get his "rock and roll facial expressions" but he was moving too fast.



















Jaxonism:
Jaxon was telling us how he is going to get one red car and one yellow car when he grows up. Then he said, "But before I go get a red car and yellow car I have to check with the money!"

Happy Valentine's Day

We all had a great Valentine's Day. It was more than just a day for us though. Here's a snapshot.
Wednesday: Jaxon's preschool party - he was soooo excited!He even had to give himself a Valentine at school.
Thursday: Blake and I had our parties with our students.
Friday: Jaxon had his party at daycare. Then Blake and I had an actual date. We went down to Liberal to see Valentine's Day - Blake even enjoyed the movie. Then out for Italian food!
Saturday: Mommy had a beauty day getting her hair done. (I know it doesn't have anything to really do with Valentine's Day but it always feels good to get your hair cut and colored. Also to go by yourself and do what you like to do. So that was my little treat.)
Sunday: Real Valentine's Day - we gave our presents to each other.



All I really needed to get - a balloon! He loved that the most!

Super Bowl

Yes I am behind on this. I already told you how I spent my birthday weekend but I have some pics from my actual birthday which was the Super Bowl so we had friends over. Jaxon picked out the Transformers birthday hats that he was dying to open all weekend. He kept making sure everyone had them on.

Attitude!

Jaxonism:
Blake took Jaxon took the park. Jaxon burped and said it was the clouds. Blake said you still need to say excuse me. Jaxon said, "Excuse you clouds!"

In the car home from the park, Jaxon said I'm going to be in a rock band when I get bigger and play the drums. He thought a beat then said, "Daddy you can be in the band and play guitar because you've got attitude!"

(While I am reading this post to Blake to check that it is correct Jaxon says, "Mommy you've got attitude too!)

My Birthday

I already told you what my best present on my birthday was now I'll tell you how the rest of the weekend went. My parents came out on Friday. We went to Garden City on Saturday and ate at Napoli's which is an Italian restuarant - my fav!
First time Jaxon wrote MOM on the card:


My present from Jaxon - Connect Four. I actually loved this game when I was little but never had one. He does pretty good playing it.


I got the last season of Friends I needed to complete my collection from Blake:


I got another Giada cookbook from my parents. Italian - yum! (Sorry Mom but I didn't like the picture.)


Then we did a little shopping. Jaxon's John Deere boots were getting pretty snug so my parents bought him some new boots which are yellow. He was so excited! They had some that had yellow on the bottom and black on the top which I thought he would pick but he went for the brown on bottom and yellow on top. So of course he has to tuck his jeans into his pants so that everyone can see the yellow. He also got a black cowboy hat. So you know what his wardrobe has been lately.

Here's the cowboy: (or naked cowboy)




Ready for church:


Sunday was the Super Bowl so we had some friends over to watch the game. Leanne made me a cake (3 Tiers - the best)! So it was a great birthday weekend and this week we only have 4 days with students and we have President's Day off so that's even better.
