WAITING!

I'm waiting for my boys to get home....

Justin took Jax to the father in sons, it's the first time I have been away from Jax over night, well even more than around 6 hours. Jax LOVES to be outdoors, I bet he is having a blast :)

He got to go with his Dad, Grandpa, and 2 of his uncles.

I MISS him like CRAZY!

AND

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHY!

My little brother turns 20 today!!!

We have been bestfriends our whole lives

we did everything together as kids,

and now we are both growing up.

Only one year left and I get to see him again!

I love you Josh.

3 days til baby :)



Good news, baby flipped!
How many babies flip to breech at 35 weeks then back to head down at 36! Not very many! We are excited! I'm now full term, so whenever he decides to come :)

Baby Update!

This whole pregnancy I have been SO excited that I would not have to have a c section. I've always wanted to experience natural birth and I've always wanted a bigger family (6ish kids). Tuesday I went in for my 36 week check up to discover I have a breech baby. Some time between week 34 & 35 he flipped! With the blood thinners and my past history it's to risky to try flipping him, so c section it is! May 22! Bright side, only 18 days left, the doctor picked the day but I am stoked because its right inbetween mine and my brother Josh's birthday! (his is the 19th, mine the 25th, and he is in Peru on his mission) I look at Jax and think he is to little to be a big brother! But he is such a sweet boy, he will do great! I GOT A CAR!!! After 4 months of not having one, I got one! We got to visit grandma and grandpa walker and pick the car up. Jax sure had fun, he really loves them!

Easter

I ran out of time to put Easter on yesterday...

so i'm posting 2 days in a row!!

 He loves the slide

 The basket I made him, the stuff from the egg hunt & outfit

 from his Grandma & Grandpa Walker

 Cute Candy basket I made him :)



Jax's First Birthday Party

It's so crazy that Jax is one!

They always tell you how your life will change when

your first baby comes.

They say you won't sleep, no time to yourself,

What nobody tells you is that you enjoy being up at night,

that you would rather be with that baby then doing something "fun"

All of a sudden the things you care about change....

because of one perfect little soul.

Well here he is, opening presents with some of his bestfriends!

 My family. What a blessing they are :)

 The cake I made him :)

 Getting ready to dig in!!

 It's sideways. Pink panther cake, Jax loves that show.

My Grandma Lee helped me make this!

 Jax loves his uncle Brant.

Were not really related, but they have a special place in each other's hearts.

Brant is who gave him a blessing right after he was born!

 He just melts my heart!!!!

Just some photo's of Jax (Jan-April)

 Great Grandparents Walker got him this for his birthday.

He loves it!!

 Playing nintendo with Dad

 Poor kid, broke his wrist a few days after his birthday

He was so tough though!

 He got to come to Blue & Gold Banquet with me

And he loved dessert!

 Playing rockband with dad

 His basketball hoop!

Helping with yard work



I wanted to share, Jax has always had a love for the scriptures. When he would see someone's he would steal them. So a few months ago I got him his own. Many times a day I find him sitting on the floor reading his book of Mormon. One of those proud mom moments :) Jax is so inspiring!

Update on our lives!

Update!
It's been awhile since i posted so I figured I would give everyone an update! Justin is working hard, we were blessed to have him be one of the few at his job that didn't get laid off. He is still teaching Elders Quarum once a month & i've heard he does a good job!  In September I got called to be the Cub Master, I have loved it & I must be doing a decent job because last month they also called me to be a Webelos Den Leader. I have loved it, & I get to work with a sister in Webelos who I have admirred since we moved here (when I was 12) Justin never gets the oppurtunity to babysit Jax with me being a stay at home mom, but with Scouts he has gotten too. It's been so fun to see how much closer they have grown in the last 6 months gettting that alone time together. Just strengthened my testimony of doing what the lord asks, it really does help us in every aspect of our lives. Jax is doing amazing. Not a day goes by that I dont think what a miracle he is & how blessed we are to have him. For awhile now he has been using phrases like "all done" "get it" "hi dad" (which is cute, when justin comes home he says hi dad & heads down the stairs to see him.) Recently he has starting saying things like "I want it" "I got it" (meaning i'll go get it) & constantly asking "what's that?" It amazes me how smart he is! He is my cleaning buddy, he loves to help me clean (& pretend like he is.) He has taken a love for basketball. He likes to watch it, we bought him a mini hoop & he plays with it constantly. He claps when he makes the shot or sees them make a basketball while watching the Jazz. Super cute. Pregnancy is going good! Everything is normal & healthy. I'm due 2 months from today, which to me is crazy!!! 2 months goes by so fast!! That's pretty much everything that has been going on in our lives! Since my laptop broke I don't have a way to take pictures off my camera, but I swear i'm going to my moms this week so I can post Jax's birthday photos!!
