Carol’s House

Since we have moved, Jaxon has been obsessed with our neighbor Carol’s house. At first he thought it was Bebe’s house, but quickly learned who Carol was. He can see it from his window and apparently enjoys watching it outside too!

Jaxon–2 year pictures

This year, I took all of Jaxon’s 2 year pictures. It was a lengthy process that was wrapped up shortly before baby was born. I think a couple days before to be exact. Then I still had to edit after she came! Anyway…after long delay, enjoy!

Jaxon and Daddy

Enjoy some cute pics from Jaxon and Daddy time outside!

Castles and Bubbles

We began Jaxon’s 2 year pictures with the castle playground across the street from Grandpa and Bebe’s house. I am no professional so they aren’t the best but we managed to get a few. Ava and Reese were nice enough to pose for a few too!

That tongue!

This is on my computer at my desk. One of Jaxon’s favorite things to do is ask “What doin’?” So every time I look at it I hear “What doin’ Mommy?”

Then onto the bubbles! It was a perfect day for bubbles and the kids loved them as you can see…

But sometimes, we had moments like this…

But back to the fun…

Catching bubbles

This net can also be used for catching heads…

What goes through a 2 year old’s head…I’ll never know.

Noah’s Ark Spring Program

Each spring Jaxon’s daycare, Noah’s Ark, holds a spring program along with graduation ceremonies. We weren’t really sure we wanted to go until we found out Jax had been practicing and there would be a performance. Once we found this out, we decided we had to go…little did we know we had a show stealer on our hands!

Jax waited patiently for the other classes to perform then it was time for the 2 year olds. Jax quickly went to Miss Lori and got his umbrella…it was his time to shine!

Picture this…the performer back stage (or to the side) prepping for his audience. The audience anxiously awaiting a stellar performance. The music begins…the song choice? Tomorrow from Annie. Yes indeed, the sun did come out, and shined on Jax!

We were warned ahead of time not to expect too much by Miss Lori. The performance began with all the 2 year olds walking in a circle around the stage. As the song continued, they continued their laps. Jax got faster and faster with his laps, sometimes pushing people out of the way…not as bad as George Costanza in a fire, but a similar approach.

We were so glad we went and Jaxon had a great time. He had gotten a serious injury to his eye that day, but he didn’t even let that stop him! What a professional ;)

Easter 2011–Part 2

Easter morning began bright and early! The Easter Bunny’s goodies had to be packed up and couldn’t even be opened at our house. This year we attended Ryan’s parents’ church. They have a true sunrise service. Colt even showed up in his PJs! Jax was in a daze the whole service which I guess worked out good.

Jax before we left looking handsome as usual, but very tired.

After church we headed to breakfast at PaPaw and MaMaw’s house. Then it was time for the Easter egg hunt! (It was cold and Jax and Colt are still young so we had it inside)

Taking a break for some candy…

PaPaw helping to get those eggs up high while Colt took a break.

Thanks MaMaw for the goodies!

Then it was time for the Easter Bunny’s basket!

We then headed home and all 3 took a long nap before heading over to Bebe’s house. Yes, yet another Easter egg hunt!

Are you seeing a pattern here? Each hunt had a break for some candy :)

A proud Ava with her basket of eggs. She also came prepared in case the forecast for rain proved to be true!

Ava and Reese were very selective and would only pick up the princess eggs. This left a lot of eggs and bags of candy for Jaxon…just what Mommy wanted…or maybe not!

After it was all over, there was a lot more sitting and eating out on the screened in porch. It was a great afternoon with the Samford fam!

Happy belated Easter to all!

Easter 2011–Part 1

Thanks to my new blogging tool that my sister introduced me to, I can finally get back to it! I was having technical difficulties and it was taking me hours per post, but it looks like we can get back on track.

Easter 2011 was filled with the Easter Bunny, celebrating Jesus, candy, toys, family, “Easta” eggs and of course Veggie Tales Easter (‘Twas the Night Before Easter”).

Prior to Easter, Jax got really into the Veggie Tales movie and CD. He also had several test runs of an Easter Egg hunt at daycare. He was excited and ready to go!

The day before Easter, we attended an Easter egg hunt at the lake. Jax had a blast! All of the 2 year olds had to line up outside the line until it was time. Then came a “Ready, Set, Go” and he was off! Jax was like a mad man collecting eggs. We had to slow him down a bit so other kids could have some too.

Don’t mind the big belly in the picture above. I loved helping Jax with the eggs. The only down fall was when one accidently opened, he realized they were filled with candy and would stop everything. We would have to then get him back on track to collect more eggs.

What a fun treat!
