He is with Jesus

I have been thinking about my sister and baby Braxton a lot lately. My heart breaks every time I remember what my sister and her husband had to go through. The boys and I have driven by Braxton's grave a few times this week and each time we do I am hit with a huge wave of emotions. Parker recognizes the cemetery and we have had a few good talks when we go. The first time we went we talked about how Aunt Jaycie's baby died. How he lives with Jesus now. That it's just his body in the grave. Parker was very serious throughout our conversation, but was very relieved to know that at least Baby Braxton was with Jesus. I am so grateful for my boys and how close to the Savior they are. 

The second time we went this week Parker reminded me of Braxton and what happened to him. He made sure to tell me it was ok though, because he was with Jesus. 

I am so so grateful for my two little boys and I love them so much. I love how much they teach me. I love how big their hearts are.  I am grateful for my sister and her example and strength. I know she will get the chance to hold and love her sweet little boy someday. 

Jax is One!

Late again.... but Happy Birthday Jaxon! This little boy can bring a smile to anyones face. He is always so happy...unless he is hungry or tired. :) His smile is so stinkin contagious!

Jaxon still crawls.....which is totally fine by me. He would prefer to just sit and smile, seriously. He has gotten brave though and has taken a few steps.

Jaxon has six teeth. Four on top and two on the bottom. 

He eats anything. (Except boiled eggs.) I think smiling and eating are his two favorite things!

He adores Parker.

Jaxon is a mommas boy. When I am home I can never get anything done. If I leave the room he freaks out and of course I pick him up because I feel so guilty for working.

Jaxon is beginning to wave hi to people. (We're working on a few signs but we haven't been very consistent.)

He weighs 22 pounds.

Jaxon loves to play with balls. He can chase them around all day if you let him. 

We love our Jaxon!!!
