"Touchdown Raiders!"

It's almost that time of year! The things of fall...candles, new, warm clothes, crisp air, leaves changing color...and of course...

... Football!





This year, my husband has a little fan to cheer alongside him! Jaxon is very excited about the Raider's season! In fact, if you spend much time with him, you will probably hear him shout in a low, gruff voice, "Touchdown Raiders!" He is totally into his football which he is getting pretty good at throwing, and he recently discovered Daddy's old football helmet, which he is so proud to wear!


Get ready, we may eventually have a pro on our hands! =)

Diaper Head!

Our "diaper days" are coming to a close! Jaxon is definitely showing signs of being ready to potty train. Starting next week, Mommy is going to be staying home with Jaxon and the training will immense! I know what you are thinking, "Kristin? Stay home for a week?" I myself am not sure how I will do it, but I am pretty determined. I guess it's one of those things we sacrifice for our kids, right?

Potty chair? Check. Sticker chart? Check. Undies? Check! We are all set and have even been practicing "pooping in the potty" which Jaxon has already done once! I have been debating whether or not to do "no undies" or "undies" method...so any suggestions would be appreciated! What worked and didn't work for you?

Regardless, we are saying good bye to the diapers. As you can see, Jaxon doesn't seem too shook up over the idea. =)

Over 5 months!

Wow! It's been over 5 months since I've posted! 5 months of insane busyness! I am a little tentative to take on blogging again, but I have been missing it lately. So, we are back! I am hoping to post at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Between running my own business and being a wife and stay-at-home mommy, my life is full...full of fun and adventures! I am simply learning how to juggle it all and take one day at time...letting myself learn lessons and not expecting perfection. It's a process I tell ya!

Rob is busy with work and recording his second album with his band OverKast.

Jaxon is 22 months old now and is a big talker -3-4 word sentences these days! He loves cars, trucks and choo choo trains! He also remains a serious animal lover.

More updating coming soon!
