Things Jaxon says:
Me: Jaxon do you know why the chicken crossed the road?
Jaxon: No mom.
Me: To get to the other side!! Get it?!?
Jaxon: (with tears welling up in his eyes) I'm gonna miss him!!

Oh summer where are you going?
"The only thing more fleeting than summer, is childhood" How true. We are trying to make the most of the moments while our kids are small by enjoying every moment between our busy lives. Jaxon and Bridget are so fun and both have such sweet personalities.
Bridget is so sweet and mellow. Always smiling and cooing. But she also has a little bit of a feisty side. If I have a snack or something that she wants, she lets me know she is insterested by letting out a fierce growl. It surprised me the first time. She is on the cusp of crawling, and I'm in no hurry for her to learn. Though she can often be found balancing on two knees and one hand, while reaching for an object. One handed push ups? Or maybe she is just doing sun salutations with her yoga routine. We will see what her interests are in the months to come.
Jaxon is as friendly as ever. He has no fear of strangers and often strikes up a conversation with people, I don't really want to talk to. His vocabulary is downright amazing. He uses proper tenses in sentances, and strangers in stores everywhere stop us to find out "How old is he?!? He speaks so well for being 2!" He is certainly has "little boy" tendancies and wants to fight all the time. He is still very interested in Pirates and often tells me to "Walk the Plank Mom!" or "Your going to Davey Jones locker, FOREVER!!" He also still collects hats and one of his favorite pass times is dress up.

We took a bittersweet trip to Colorado Springs to celebrate the life of Vern Schuur. My adoptive father since 1st grade. I'm so glad we were able to spend time with Allison, Emily and Katy.

Jaxon does Disneyland
Jaxon was kidnapped/borrowed for the weekend by Grandpa Chip and Grandma Larissa. He was swept away to California for a weekend of fun and adventure with lots of Luskos (Daniel, Levi and Alivia) He spent some quality time with Uncle Levi and his cousin Alivia who he doesn't often see. Of course he got "a little" spoiled by his Grandparents.
Traveling with Jaxon is no small feat. He is the friendliest 2 year old on the planet. He insists on saying "Hi!" to just about everyone he meets, and usually starts up a conversation.
Jaxon visited the ocean for the first time and had a prearranged breakfast at a Disney Hotel with the all the characters. This, is where I was told Daisy Duck took a special liking to Jaxon. So much so, she couldn't be gotten rid of. Below you'll see the little note she wrote to him. I'm pretty sure he had a little crush on her as well as he is still talking about her pretty dress and bow.
Jaxon had an amazing time in California. When he got home, he could not be settled down. Jumping on the bed and he sang over and over, the Pirates of the Carribean song "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life For Me!!" This continued until about 2am. Must have been the jet lag.

One Lucky Mama
I mean really. Look at these two beautiful babies. Happy Mothers Day to me indeed.
(The picture below was taken at brunch on Mother's Day. Please notice that Jaxon was not "having" his picture taken. At all.)
