Birthdays

It's been a long time since my last blog.  Christmas was a lot of fun having Tatiana and her family here with us.  I'll have to do a late Christmas post but first...THE TWINS TURNED 2!!!  Ok so they are not really twins but I call them the twin cousins because they are three weeks apart.

Luckily I was able to be in AZ when Jaxon turned 2 and share in his special day.  This kid is a nut!  He is full of character.  All you have to do is look at his eyes and by his expression you can tell what's going in that little head of his...or not.  He's mischievous, curious, clever, tough and tender all wrapped into this tiny body.  He got a Spiderman quad for Christmas and he's riding it standing up like a big kid would.  He is especially loved by his big brother.  His vocab is slow in coming although he's trying really hard to get the words out.  Tatiana says he has a one syllable vocabulary.  In no time, though, she's going to be telling him that he needs to play the quiet game because he's talking so much.  Whenever I talk to him I ask him what a tiger says and he growls...so cute!  I call him my little tiger now.  Going back to his eyes; all you have to do it look into those beautiful eyes and you will also fall in love with this great little boy.

Bailey's birthday was yesterday.  All day long Madison and I would ask her if she's the birthday girl and she would run away from us.  Mad made her a sign and she would not let me take a picture of her until that night when she got her birthday dress on.  That's when she put on the charm too...showing off her dress and posing.  Bailey loves to pretend that she's in Primary (learning from Jordan) and she's leading the music.  She stands on her little stool, puts her hand up and moves it just like a chorister would and sings the "Hello" song from Primary.  She even gets a music book and does the same thing.  She loves her dollies and will hold them close wrapped in a blanket and will hum to them.  She is a clever little one too.  Fearless like Jaxon.  I'm blessed to have this little one living with us.  She is full of love.  She enjoys waking me up every morning to read a book or just to say "Nani".  Her smile will melt your heart and then that cute little dimple shows up and you turn into mush.

I do have the best grandbabies but that's just my personal opinion...it's ok to be jealous.  :)

Don't you just love black olives on your fingers?  That's the best!
