Dax's 7 month photo shoot

My little guy at 7 months! He's a pretty photogenic kid! :)

Photo Shoots!

Oh how I love pictures! I love taking them, looking at them, and scrapbooking them--which my new favorite thing has turned into online scrapbooks i.e. Shutterfly and Mixbooks. Anyway, I really love professional photos, however, paying for the all the ones I want isn't always the easiest. So...I decided to try my hand at taking pictures and attempting to edit them. Obviously you can tell I'm amatuer, but I captured the cute little face and that's really all that matters! My little Dax is pretty good for the camera. Here's a little peek into our shoots! These are of Dax at 6 months.

My Grandpa Franks' cowboy hat.

My little camo man!


Dreaming of his football days...

He's a happy little guy always!

Getting Bigger!

I can't believe how fast time goes by. When I was pregnant, the first 6 months seemed like an eternity...now that he's here it's a blink of an eye! I love it and hate it all at the same time. I have enjoyed every minute of being a mom and spending every day with my handsome boy. He is so much fun and getting bigger every day. His first two teeth have just emerged...and he was a champ! Hardly even fussy at all. A few things Dax loves....

1--His Mom

2--His Dad

3--Story time...every day after bath time. He will sit completely still. My favorite time of day.

4--His feet rubbed

5--Bath time...he splashes all the water out of his tub multiple times in one bath.

6--Patty Cake

7--His cereal

8--His Jumper

9--Watching basketball games...I took him to Boise to watch the girls play and he sat and watched the entire 2 hour game without a peep.

10--Being wrapped up tight and snuggling!

Here's a few pictures of the last little while...

My big boy eating his cereal! He loves it....the first few times I think we had more on his face and bib than we did in his mouth! He's getting it down now and lunges for the spoon! He even tries to help me!

And he gets mad if I don't get it in fast enough!

Just a few dribbles!

Telling Dad how good this stuff is! He's gotta try it!

I just love the look on his face!

My little snow bunny sittin in the big kid's chair!

He loves to play peek-a-boo!

He is the happiest baby! I'm so lucky, I love just listening to him laugh and talk all day long.

Almost rolling over! He gets so close and those dang arms get in the way!

Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas. It was so fun celebrating Dax's first Christmas. We went a little crazy, but loved every minute! Our little man makes everything more fun!

The Christmas season barely started and already they're worn out! Like father, like son!

Daxton and cousin Jillian--he's only 2 days older!

Yes, we were the lucky ones to be Mary and Joseph!

Seriously Mom?! I can't even see!

Sweet little Emma with Dax. He was baby Jesus at all the family parties!

Brazen and Dax

Dax and cousin Kloee

Great Grandma Gerry and Dax, with the stocking she made him for Christmas.

Everyone needs a Snuggie!!

Dad and Dax

Opening his tool bench from Dad! Sure it says ages 3 and older, but he's almost 3!

Grandma Kris and Dax in his new Christmas PJs from her!

Dax's loot! Yep, he has no idea!


Uh, Mom, can't see....again, humiliating!

Dax's Christmas outfit from Grandma Beverly. The feet had Santa faces on them and he would stare and stare at them with a look like, " Mom, why do you feel the need to humiliate me like this?!"

Our little family! What a great year!

For Reilly! :)

So these are for Reilly, because every time she looks at the blog she asks if I'm still fourwheeling! This is our photo shoot with Shanny, my sister-in-law. It was so fun. The first picture is our joke because I'm always posing for every picture! Thanks Shanny! Enjoy Rei!

True hillbillies!

Ah He's so tough!!

My brother said it looks like we got caught makin out in the wheat! Hmm...maybe we did! :)

As a last of the summer fling, before I started school again, we decided to go fourwheeling to Packsaddle with Shane and Jo and Nate and Nancy. We had such a great time! It was a perfect end of summer trip!

All the girls!!

We had so much fun! Brandon loves going as fast as possible down any little trail...my hands were a bit tired from gripping for dear life!

Nate and Nancy stylin in the Razr

We were like a bunch of little kids on the rope swing. It was so much fun!

Nate on the swing...

Brandon on the swing... Jo on the swing...

Nancy on the swing...

Megan on the swing...

And finally, Shane on the swing...brought his swimming suit and everything ..and he actually jumped off into the water. Such a brave guy...

All of us at packsaddle!

Me and Nancy doing a little destruction!

A long, fun filled day! I'm a bit dirty...
