First Day of Kindergarten!

Daxon was so excited for his first day of school. I didn't think he would even go to sleep the night before!! He gets on the bus at 7:15 am!! So early bedtime from now on!! He wanted to get on the bus all by himself, he didn't want my help! What a big kid! He is growing up so fast! I bet he is going to love his new teacher, Miss Shear. I've heard she is AWESOME!!

Daxon, you are so smart and talented. We are so proud of you. Thanks for being such a good boy. We love you!

Family Fun

We had a blast this last weekend! We went up the Beaver Mountain for some bow hunting. Zack was the only one with a tag, so we went with him. We had a blast just sittin' around camp shooting the target and relaxing. Daxon wants to be JUST LIKE Zack!! He follows him everywhere and does everything he does. I can't think of a better kid for Daxon to look up to. He is such a great kid and he treats Daxon so good. I had to snap some shots of Destri in her cowgirl getup!! She looked so darn cute!!

Remodel

**Remodel**

We finally finished remodeling our house. WHAT A PROJECT!! But it looks great! We are so happy with the results. It feels like a whole new house. We completely remodeled the living room, dining room, family room and kitchen. I love my brand new appliances! :) It's wonderful. Daxon says he likes the old house better, because he used to be able to eat ice cream in the living room and he can't now!! :) But he does agree that it looks SO MUCH better! We are just amazed at how new it looks. WE LOVE IT!

Look at Destri Grow!

Look at Destri Grow

So I am finally posting this... I took pictures of Destri every month of her first year next to this little stuffed goat. It's fun, because it shows how big she is getting compared to the stuffed animal. I can't believe how fast she is growing! It's fun watching her discover new things and develop. Here are some of her latest accomplishments:

- She is such a good baby.

- She is still sleeping really good through the nights.

- She is now broke from her bottle (which wasn't hard at all).

- She isn't walking quite yet. She takes a few steps and then falls. She walks really good with her push along and around the furniture, but hasn't taken off yet.

- She is such a good eater! She will eat almost anything, and isn't picky at all.

- She loves her binky!! It will be hard to break her from that.

- She LOVES Barney and Sesame Street

- She only has 7 teeth (4 on top, 3 on bottom)

- She can say mom, dad, uh-oh, and woah!

- She pulls a funny face, which is absolutely adorable

- She loves to dance to any kind of music

- She loves to laugh at her silly brother

and

- She LOVES Cheetos!!

We just love having this little girl around. She is such a blessing in our lives. We love you Destri!!

Kindergarten Shots

Kindergarten Shots

Daxon had to get the "dreaded" Kindergarten shots!! He was really good about it and wasn't scared at all! I took him in to Dr Brown and his little sister was also due for her year check up and shots. They came in and gave him 2 shots in one arm and 2 in the other. He didn't flinch, didn't say owe and didn't even cry one tear! What a tough little buddy!! Then it was time for Destri... Now that's another story! :) She started screaming her head off when it was time for her shots (which is normal for a baby so that's ok), but Dax was really quite concerned. All of the sudden Daxon started crying. He wouldn't tell me why he was crying, but I know it was because he felt bad for his little sister. He knew how bad it hurts and was feeling sorry for her. I thought it was so cute that he loves her that much. He is so caring and loving towards everyone. Such a tender heart!! :) Later that night his one arm swelled up big time. It was warm and red. He said it didn't hurt, and that it was just itchy. He kinda thought it was cool because it looked like he had a big muscle. What a kid!! :)
