Love those chunky cheeks!

Kayla was quite content today in her diaper, an oversized bib, and hanging on to a pine-cone for dear life.  No matter what she did, she did not let go of that pine-cone!  I just love these pictures because she has such chunky cheeks and they are so cute... I love them and I just want to smoosh them!
And now that she's getting more hair, she is getting more and more curls at the bottom.  They are darling.

I also love when the kids don't know I'm watching them.  Here, Jaxton is amusing himself with a parachute toy, while trying to balance at the same time.  What a cute little boy

Christmas in August

Just recently, Jaxton has realized that the things you see on commercials, you can usually buy.  This amazes him! Our bedtime conversation went something like this:

Jaxton:  Mommy, we are going to go shopping for a new light.
Me:  Is that was Daddy said?
Jaxton:  No, I want a new light for my bedroom light, and we are going shopping for a new light.
Me:  Are you going to buy the light?
Jaxton:  Hmmmm (pause for thinking)... no, we just gonna go shopping
Me:  Oh, o.k.... how about you ask Santa for a new light
Jaxton:  A toystory light
Me:  O.k. you can ask Santa for a toystory light
Jaxton:  Mommy, who is this Santa?

We then proceeded to talk about Christmas... Santa, presents, Christmas trees, Jesus' birthday, how Santa eats cookies and gets fat and jolly, and on and on...

This morning he woke up and came straight to me while rubbing his little eyes and says
Mommy, where are all these presents for me?

It was so sad and cute.  He didn't understand that today wasn't Christmas.  I think I devastated his morning.
