Homecoming - Girls Night Out

Aubrey decided to go to the Homecoming dance this year with a group of her girlfriends. Her friend Jessica came over early in the afternoon to get ready for the dance. Aunt Cindy came over and showed off her skills with Aubrey's up-do while I did Jessica's full head of curls.
They were absolutely "Wow'ed"!





Look at that hair! Each girl spent about 45 minutes on their hair.
Well worth the wait, don't you think?

This is their "Hollywood" pose.

Jessica wanted to show her mom the "new look" before the dance. Then....I dropped them off. At the dance. Now Mom sits here waiting, wondering, hoping.....Well....it's her first big dance. Yes, I am worried, but I can't wait to hear all the details!

On our way to Jaxon-Ville

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun,Think I'm gonna have a son. He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love, Sun is gonna shine above.
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey, And everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Seems as though a month ago I was Beta Chi, never got high. Oh, I was a sorry guy. And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name, Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same. And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey, And everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Pisces, virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind, And the little boy is mine. Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun, Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun.
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey, And everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up, Love her and she'll bring you luck. And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home, Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own.
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey, And everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes, And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Mama and Jaxon, loving each other...

Daddy and Jaxon, already planning their first hunting trip. Daddy is telling him all about his Grandpa's hunting tales!
Grandma Sunny...Hal-moh-nee.
Life doesn't get any better than this!

Halloween!

I had such ambitious goals for this weekend! I was going to pull out all of our very cool Halloween decorations and get the house ready for one of our favorite holidays! Mitchell was down with the flu on Friday, I ended up working overtime on Saturday....and the decorations are still in the garage and it is Sunday morning....do you think it's going to happen? Hmmm....clean the bathrooms or decorate for Halloween?

The Best Baby Shower Ever!

Jenny came home to Arizona to visit this Summer while Nick was out on field exercises, getting prepared for his inevitable deployment this Fall. We took advantage of this opportunity and had the Best Baby Shower ever for Jenny and Jaxon.




All the Mamas, Grandmas, and Great Grandmas... how fun for Jaxon to see this picture someday... Grandma Lolly, Mama, Great Grandma Reba, Great Grandma Barbara, Grandma Carmen, and Grandma Sunny.

Jenny's "Baby Bump". And she gave her baby bump a name.....it's Jaxon!



Drinking Games! Everyone enjoyed the Beer (rootbeer) drinking games...and yes, they are drinking from a baby bottle! Yep...that's Aunt Diane, Aunt Aubrey, Uncle Mitch and Uncle Tommy!


And the winner is....Uncle Tommy! But Aunt Aubrey was so close to taking him down!





Gurgle, burp, gurgle, burp, burp, burp!



Oh what Fun! And as you can just imagine, all these guys needed a good burping when they were done!

Grandma And Grandpa, amazed at all the nice gifts everyone brought for Jaxon!
Eewww....The poopy diaper game! We caught Garrett and Uncle John cheating when they were licking the diapers to see what kind of chocolate bar it was.......
That was just too wrong for pictures!
Uncle Cameron and Aunt Aubrey chillin' on the back patio....

What an awesome cake! Thanks to Grandma Sunny!

Even Jaxon's Grandpa's are in on the Drinking Games!

Grandma Lorna couldn't be here, but she sent this handmade Army camo quilt for Jaxon...I am sure this will be Daddy's favorite quilt!

Grandma Lolly couldn't resist the old school sock monkeys. Hopefully Jaxon will have fun with this quilt.

And here was the highlight of the party...everyone had tears in their eyes. Nick sent Jaxon a gift for the shower. Jenny opened it and just fell apart. He sent a Build a Bear Army dog and when you press his hand, Nick's voice says "Daddy loves you, Jaxon". Jenny also received a similar bear when she and Nick began dating, with a different message of course.
It was a very tender moment!

This was just too cute!
