"Gosh Dangit"


if you don't like jaxon, you won't care to read this.
infact, if you don't like jaxon, you shouldn't even be reading this blog.
this is the overload i was talking about.




this poor kid is going to have a long , miserable childhood if he doesn't start appreciating my camera.


Today Jaxon said "Gosh Dangit"
hmm...i guess that's what we say a lot? it's better than a swear word, i guess!
made us laugh!


other cute grown up things jaxon surprises me with:
"what do you want to do today?"





he'll answer me by saying: "yeah, sure"



he'll say, "i love that"
if he likes something a lot.


he'll also get face to face with us, and say "look into my eyes"
silly.





he'll say "momma, i'm tired"
or "what happened?"
or "are you okay momma?"
or "i waked up"
he's just so smart, i can't believe it!

i can't keep up with all of the cute things he says to me each day!
love this man!!

...

If you are dying to know what's going on in my daily life, head on over to this blog:
                 >>>>> alecia's 365 challenge

it is REQUIRED that i take a photo everyday for that blog. so , it's pretty happenin' over there.

this blog often gets neglected.

that will change as the wretched heat sets in & slows down everything in life as i know it. there will be nothing else to do, but blog. and blog and blog.

*updates soon.
[this means photo overload of jax, probably]

dutch oven lovin'


friday night was fabuloso.
and this is why:
we went to oak grove and dutch ovened (is that a word? no.)

the weather was beautiful. the scenery was like heaven.
i love love love summer so much.
i am so excited for the camping & bbqs & sunday drives & hikes & campfires & dutch ovening! 
yeah!

here are a bunch of photos..because well, you know me.
love it , or hate it.










jax has his own camping chair--finally!


oh, and look who had to come with.
who is this you ask?
oh , wait. you don't know!
this is dracula, and I have never before blogged about him.
i need to.
he is practically a family member. along with his wife, the witch.
i'll have to post pics of the two.
they play an important role in our home.
they make jax EAT!








I'll never ever get sick of this kids face.
he's the cutest thing that ever happened.
if we do ever have another kid, how will he/she be this cute?
it's not possible.






do you think jax looks like his father??
because I DON'T!
and everyone else does!
and it sort of makes me mad
because
just because he has blonde hair, he can't look like me??!

[this is a super hot & interesting photo of both of them]


this is a start to a very fun happy outdoorsy summer!

CAN'T WAIT!

Happy weekend!!

May..then & now.

May is a fabulous Month.

Oh, May. May, May, May.

May is when I first started blogging. Thanks to my awesome friend, Kim Norton. Way back in May 2008, while we were out in Maryland with APX,  She said, "do you have a blog?" We had just met & we were in the resident computer lab place & I was setting up a myspace page (which is dumb & I deleted it a few months ago). Anyway. I said "What's a blog?" And that day, she showed me. She sat there and helped me create my very first blog. Little did she know, that she was introducing me to what would be my addiction for years to come. ha!

To see my first post EVER: go here.

It's crazy talk.

But now I have 3 blogs! well technically 4. (I don't use my "cooking" blog anymore.)
see my other two:
                             >>aleciadawn photography (which if you don't know about this blog, i am deeply hurt. this is my LIFE.)
                             >>alecia's 365 challenge

This May has been nuts.
NUTS i tell you.
I've had photoshoots up the wazoo.
but it's been good & i am thankful.


I thought this was interesting.
here is jax, in all the May's he's ever lived through.

May 2008:
here he is. slightly chubby and becoming somewhat of an enjoyable person to be around. he was finally over colic. 5 months.









aaaaaand here he is May 2009. 19 months and as stinky as ever!





And Now....May 2010
age 2 1/2.
my , how he's grown!





happy may!

He's baaaaack.


After a much needed break
of jax being gone to grandma's for 4 days,
he's baaaaack!


the break was fabulous but
we did miss the guy.

thanks mom and dad for taking him.
i got lots of work done & andrew & i had some alone time that 
we desperately needed.





we love this sweet guy.
he came home with lots of fun stories to tell about grandma's.
cute kid.

 i can tell he's glad to be home though!

Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
