A recap of October

11 months old

Life is rough

All clean

Luke's birthday and fun with a balloon.  the balloon even had to go in time out, he was devastated


Bike rides and walks and a new double bike trailer



Kenton, our neighborhood buddy, turned 1.  So thankful for this family.


Our neighbor just made his day by letting him ride their john deere tractor- he hasn't forgotten about it.  Everytime we walk down their way he wants to ride their tractor.

On October 17 my dear friend Kristen got married and we were able to go the wedding.  We had trouble finding a babysitter and then we were worried that Jaxon was coming down with something.  I told Brian that we were going to the wedding somehow even if I went by myself.  So thankful we were able to go.  She waited for God's best and He blessed her with a great husband.  I'm so happy for her.







The kids ended up being sick the next week. Jaxon threw up early one morning and had diarrhea. Then Kaelyn had the croup and thankfully it wasn't bad enough to go to the hospital.  I was so glad Brian stayed home one day to help me out.

On October 24 we went to the mountains for the day with the inlaws to see the leaves and get more apples and pumpkins.  We had been cooped up in the house and it was nice to be able to get out.  After we got back Jaxon went home with my inlaws for a few days which was a nice break.










Oct 29 we went to Tractor+ treat at a local farm.  They had all kinds of vehicles for the kids to climb on.  We met up with a few friends there too.  Jaxon had so much fun.








Oct 29 Jaxon went to the dentist and it didn't go so well this time.  They said its not unusual for this age because they are more aware of things.  He was afriad of the chair so I had to hold him.  I'm thankful for people there that would hold Kaelyn for me. He dressed up in his costume and he got a special treat from the dentist (a bag of non candy goodies)


We carved our monster truck pumpkin the day before halloween.  Jaxon didn't last long.  He didn't like his hands getting dirty.  So daddy ended up doing most of it.




We aren't really big into Halloween but I still love to dress up the kids and go to our church for the pumpkin bash, although this year we missed it because we were doing too much that day.  Instead we went to another church for their festival that morning and then had a laid back evening.  Jaxon enjoyed passing out tracts and candy to the neighborhood kids.  He called it "ticket treats"  Jaxon was a monkey and Kaelyn was a giraffe (same costume Jaxon wore for his first Halloween) Can you tell them apart? 




they love to ride together in the shopping cart


I caught Kaelyn crawling behind the love seat

She loves to give hugs to her daddy


She loves to crawl through the tunnel

She loves to climb on daddy when he is laying on the floor

She loves to feed herself cheerios, turkey, peas, and is starting to eat more real food. She has quite an appetite




She squeals when she sees me pick her up from nursery
She loves her brother

Jaxon makes me laugh and I never know whats going to come out of his mouth.
looking out his window he sees our neighbor, "There's Miss Mindy going to work"
We talk later and I tell him, How do you know what Miss Mindy drives, I don't even remember, he says "a car"
"Put sweet pea in her corner"
"is that funny? good I'm glad its funny"
picking up colorful leaves with Jaxon I go after a really pretty one, Jaxon says, "no Mommy don't go over there a snake will bite you and then I won't have a mommy."
"when the road is broken the construction vehicles need to fix it"
I think we have a serious problem- I was fixing my coffee and Jaxon said, "mommy can I have some." I said no.  Coffee is for mommy and daddy.  Then he said, when I go to maw maw and paw paw's house I can get coffee.  (They made the mistake of giving him some while he was at their house)
Mommy did you know I like helicopters, they're pretty cool
"I love you mommy." I love you too, do you love daddy? "Daddy is not a girl, I just love my mommy"

we pass CVS, and Jaxon says, "oh mommy lets go buy some vitamins for me"
We were in the car at the rest stop and Jaxon sees a man on the sidewalk smoking, he says "mommy whats that man blowing"
We were in the car driving and Jaxon says,"mommy I wish I could be a man, but I'm a boy"
He bit his tongue pretty bad the other week.  While drinking a smoothie for breakfast he says, "Oh mommy I need to let me tongue rest and not drink the smoothie because it might get stuck and then my tongue will get broken."
"I'm going to see great grandma tomorrow" I said oh really are you doing to drive there?  He said, "No Paw Paw's going to take me. Big boys drive maw maws car not little boys"
Jaxon's leg was red and he said maw maw and paw paw put gasoline on my leg, cause it was itching and it made it feel better



He loves to help me in the kitchen.  We've made muffins and pumpkin spice playdough.



He loves to sit in the big part of the shopping cart so he can help me when its time to check out.  He will put our stuff on the check out counter.

He loves to give his sister hugs and kisses before naptime and bedtime


He's pretty good about sharing his toys with her and makes sure she doesn't put them in her mouth.
He loves to line up his cars and has quite an imagination when he plays.
