He loves Dumbo!

Jaxin will watch Dumbo 5 times a day if you let him. He loves to narrate the story each time as well. He'll tell me about all of the animals that the storks bring, and when Dumbo's mommy is sad when she doesn't get him right away. He sings happy birthday to Dumbo and loves to imitate the mouse while he's scaring the other elephants that make fun of Dumbo. It's so cute to watch him interact with the movie.

I <3 LOVE <3 Autumn

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love watching the leaves change color week after week. To feel them crunch beneath my feet. Seeing piles of leaves, I feel like a kid again, ready to run and leap into them. I love the cool crisp air. The fall decorations, whether they are scarecrows, pumpkins, and bales of hay, or witches, bats, ghosts & goblins. The smells of warm pumpkin pie, apple cider and caramel apples. Just thought I would share a few of my favorite autumn photos of Jaxin so far this year.

Happy Birthday, Piper!

We hope you have a great birthday, Piper! We miss and love you bunches!

***Jaxin was looking at books while we were singing and that's why he wouldn't look at the camera.

Jaxin had his first visit at the zoo the end of August. He absolutely loved it! He's been asking every day since if he can go back. Good thing we got a membership while we were there. Jaxin paid for the whole thing w/ money from his piggy bank at Nana's. Thank you Jaxin for a wonderful day! We'd like to take him back sometime this month and then also in October for their Halloween event.

The Rest of Our Trip to Indiana

A Stroll Through Memory Lane

One of the days while we were visiting everyone in Indiana, Jaxin & I met up w/ Aunt Tabetha. The three of us went to Goodrich Park. I had wanted to take Jaxin there because I had played there many times as a child myself. My favorite thing was the catepillar, which is still there! They had added a lot of new things, but much of the original was still intact. I was disappointed that they removed the bridges from behind the park that once crossed the stream. I have so many memories from sitting and playing on those bridges. When I was in Girl Scouts, we set up camp near there and played games on the bridges. My best childhood friend, Kami, and I would catch crawdad's down there too in the summertime. Anyway, after we played at the park (it was soooo hot & humid out), we went to the China House for lunch & then to the House of Flavors for dessert. I had a black raspberry milkshake. Tabetha had sugar cookie icecream. And Jaxin had a SpongeBob Squarepants popsicle-well, he didn't like it much and ended up drinking some of my milkshake. We had a fun day! Tabetha, I wish we lived closer and could do this more often!!! Wish Brian could have came that day. We miss you guys.

I scream, you scream....We all scream for Ice Cream!

Jaxin loves ice cream. He gets it more often than I'd like him too. However, as long as he's not eating it for breakfast, lunch, & dinner, I will cave and let him induldge and enjoy this sweet treat once in a while. Here's a few photos I caught of him experiencing his first ice cream cone:

This first pic is my favorite!
