My Handsome Boys

These two right here are the love of my life!  What handsome boys I live with!  Lucky Mommy!  Now that Jaxon is getting bigger he is finally fitting into some of his cute church clothes.  I absolutely die every time we get him dressed.  I just want to eat him up!  Brandon found these cute church shoes to put on him (even though they are WAY too big for his little feet) and we decided to take a few pictures of the two boys together.



Yes, this is our Christmas tree.  No laughing.  The tree is too big for our apartment and so we had to leave the top off so it will fit.  Hopefully once we move into our home we won't have this problem next year :)

Mommy's handsome little boy!











He has gotten so good at smiling and laughing.  We are constantly doing everything we can to get a laugh!



Love him to pieces!

Mesa Temple Lights

This Saturday we decided to go and see the Mesa Temple Lights.  It's really neat because during the entire month of December they have different groups sing for an hour every night.  We got to hear a local barbershop group sing and they were really good!  The weather was amazing and the lights were absolutely beautiful.


Jaxon was asleep for the first little bit while we were there.















They had a reflection pond in front of the temple that was gorgeous.

I think this picture is absolutely amazing.







Our perfect family.

Jaxon was so funny because he seemed overwhelmed by all the bright colors.  He just kept staring!  It was so cute!



We ran into one of Brandon's friends from work, Blake.

I just love his eyes....especially when they are open so wide!



He was very happy snuggled up next to Daddy.  I absolutely love Arizona weather!  It is late in December and we are wearing long sleeves at night and not even cold.  I love not having to bundle him so much and always worrying about him staying warm enough!  Arizona is definitely baby friendly!

My little punkin!



After the lights, we decided to try a new restaurant, Old Chicago.  We ordered a deep dish cheese pizza and it was fantastic!  Would totally recommend it!  Brandon fed Jaxon while we were waiting and he always makes the funniest faces when he gets burped.







He looks so scared!  Not sure why...

And of course, it wouldn't be a proper burping unless there was a little spit-up at the end.

Already One Week Old

I know- it seems like we have had a million photo shoots! Which, I guess we have! With the craziness of having a baby, moving to another state, and starting a new job, we decided to do his newborn pictures as soon as we could. One of my good friends was available and she did an amazing job! Just like last time, Jaxon was an absolute angel and did such a good job as we put him in some of the craziest positions! It is honestly amazing how flexible they are!

Cutest lips ever!




Our new family.




This is my favorite family shot.

I love the way he is always cocking his feet and twisting his tiny fingers and hands. Precious.
He couldn't be any sweeter even if he tried.




So sweet.
And stretch....


My favorite photo of the two of us.





Emily had some of the cutest accessories for baby photos! We couldn't resist!


Love him too much.




He is almost too pretty in this photo (if there is such a thing).







Priceless.



Had to throw in something sporty for Brandon.







So before I had Jaxon I was really wanting to be crafty and make something for him that was just from me. With my mom being huge into quilts I decided I would make my first quilt...ever! I picked out this material and my mom helped me find a pattern that wouldn't be too hard for me. I was able to finish it and I must say that I am super proud of it! And it wasn't even that hard! On the bottom we were able to stitch, "Love, Mommy" with my mom's machine.



Emily, who took these photos, was so excited that he let her move both his arm and foot out of the basket. She said she has been trying to get this pose for over a year and no baby would let her do it- except our little guy!













I just love the look on his face.
