Jaxon's first 1st birthday party!

My Mom had a Birthday party for Jaxon when we were up there since she won't be seeing him on his real birthday. We were able to have it at the park because the weather was so nice. Almost all of my aunts and uncles on my mom's side came! Along with all of my cousins! (Since I am the oldest grandkid, my cousins are all pretty young kids, and are more like cousins to Jax.) Jaxon had just woken (is that a word?) up from a nap, so he was NOT very smiley. He didn't know what was going on when it came time for presents. He just loved all the attention from all the kids most of all! We gave him his own little birthday cake and we gathered around him to watch him devour it. But- he didn't! He just stared at all of us like we were crazy. He had no idea what to do until we start eating our cupcakes. I had to shove pieces of it in his mouth so he could know what it even was! He still wasn't very interested, he would rather soak up all the attention from everyone than eat his birthday cake! My Mom got the cutest elmo cupcake cake for everyone else to eat. How fun! Jax got lots of cool presents! Thanks everyone!












here 's the cake- it won't let me turn it!

Fun in Richfield

My parents backyard has a buch of leaves...it's beautiful! I let Jax play around in them. The dog would not leave Jax alone. But I think he kind of liked it.




It's really sad...I don't think anyone loves my baby Jax...
YEAH RIGHT!

Jaxon loves Zeus. I think the feeling is mutual.


Jax can crawl up the stairs!

Pumpkin Patch

Every year my Grandpa grows a pumpkins. He owns a bunch of land in Elsinore (just south of Richfield) He also has a TON of tractors. He does hayrides for people, and takes them around so they can choose out a pumpkin. He does like every school in the area for free. He is so nice that way. He is always trying to give away free pumpkins, and when people do pay him, it's like hardly anything. Everyone knows to go to him cause he's the cheapest around. Well most of my family can drive a tractor (I've yet to learn). So my Dad took just our family on a hayride, while my Grandpa was busy taking other people. Jaxon had a lot of fun. I just love this time of year because of all the festive things we get to do!

my grandpa made this pentawheel. it's so fun to play on. On the 4th of July, he'll usually put it in the parade.


Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
