joe & trav’s birthday bash

 

We had a few friends and family over for Joe & Trav’s birthday party. This is Papa Doxey reading to the boys before everyone arrived.

 

 

 

Opening gifts, Travis was actually into it.

Dads

And the other boys were into opening the gifts too, haha!

 

More gifts.

 

A gift for Joe! And he approves!

 

There is nothing more heart warming than a ceramic, sassy Santa filled with gumballs and tinkerbell lip gloss. :D

Hayley reading to the kiddos.

 

Ok, some people don’t like it when you catch them off guard…oops.

 

 

Our friends from church, Becky, Justin & Miles – Whats UP!

 

 

Miranda & Tyson – So happy they could come

 

Travis was a little stressed with all the people who came. Uncle Josh is REALLY good with kids, they just seem to break down with him sometimes. Thought it was a funny moment to capture.

 

We had a fun night and thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Once everyone left, Travis was himself again. :D

Happy Birthday Joe & Travis!

random stuff

These were taken on the plane when we were flying home from Utah in February. Enoch watched Open Season on his PSP and Travis had a blast with the tray table. He just loved the thing. And no, we did not buy our 3 year old a PSP, my Dad found it on a job site they were demolishing. Thanks Dad! :D

  

 

Here’s Enoch in his snowsuit, pretty cool right? I love the suit, I think its awesome. I’m sure 15 years down the road it won’t look so cool but for now, it works.

He did NOT want to give me a good picture but, I finally caught one. He’s my goof ball.

  

This was just one morning and we all were chillin’ in our jammies and Enoch wanted a photo of his cool Elephants smashing the fruit loops.

Yes, he gets his faces from me. :D

camping in the living room

Every now and then, Enoch finds his Lightning McQueen tent in the closet and drags it out for me to set up. Well, this was the first time he had done that since Travis was born.

I set the tent up, threw in a few pillows with a blanket and they were set. They watched a movie for a little while and then Enoch got bored.

Travis, however, stayed in the same spot for a very long time. I’m not sure what he thought was going on…he wasn’t too sure he was allowed to move though.

Fun night!

 

 

swim lessons here we come!

Enoch began swim lessons on Travis’s birthday, March 16, 2010. I’ve been wanting to get Enoch into swim for a year now and just never got around to it. February rolled around and I finally pulled the trigger and signed him up. He was SO excited. The day I went to Utah rec center, he about died because I was only picking up the information on classes and not taking him to a lesson THAT day. I then explained to him that we would be going to his first lesson in a few weeks and that seemed to help a little, but not much.

The day finally came and we had his back pack all packed up and ready to go. He was so excited that he didn’t even want to go pee before his lesson. I was so worried that he would have any accident but, it never came. He was bouncing around and wiggling and nervous, it was so cute. Once he got into the pool, he told me he needed to go potty and I told him he couldn’t really leave his lesson so I figured he just let loose in the pool….and he didn’t. For his class, they have whats called a “tot dock”, its like this big plastic dock in the pool that allows the shorter kids to stand up in the water but its only about 4 feet by 3 feet. Well, Enoch was bouncing all over that dock because he was holding his pee and he didn’t realize the dock ended. A couple of bounces into his lesson, he bounced right off of that dock. :D Luckily, the water is only 3 feet deep and Enoch is about 3’6. You will notice in the photos that, in one photo he’s dry and the next he’s sopping wet. That’s my boy!!!

He absolutely adores his swim lessons and his teacher. This is our fourth and final week this week and I’m bummed that it will be ending. Who knows, maybe we’ll sign up for the next session!

 

     

 

 

 

 

its been a while

So its been a while since my last post – Travis’s birthday to be exact, so almost a month. I’m sorry, its been a busy month. I got a new calling at church: Primary President. YIKES. Its a scary thought, I know. Its been scaring me since I got the call. Luckily, the week after I accepted the calling was General Conference – thank goodness. So I had a week break and time to prepare. The prompting for my counselors and my secretary came pretty darn quick and I’m glad I listened, they are some great ladies and I’m excited to work with them. It should be a lot of fun. I am going to miss the old presidency tremendously though. We did so well together!

So, this new calling is definitely helping me deal with some public speaking issues and confrontational issues that I deal with on a regular basis. I really hope it helps me get OVER them. That would be nice. It has also been a blessing, I’ve noticed some negative things in our life have taken a turn for the better and that has been a great help. I look forward to what the future holds.

Now, without further ado, I will begin posting pictures of the events since Travis’s birthday. Begin the posting!
