Back To The Basics

Well since Jaxton broke his arm, he hasn't been able to shower for fear of his cast getting wet.  So back to the basics we went and I gave him baths.  I figured that I would take this opportunity to get some pictures of the two brothers in the bath.  I don't really have any fun pictures like that of the two of them like I do the girls, because Jaxton is so much older than Owen.  I'll admit that I didn't mind so much having to baby Jaxton a little.  I miss when he was little.  He's so big now!  Owen sure didn't mind having a bath buddy.  He had so much fun having someone to splash around with!

Boy Scouts... Yay!!!

Jaxton is officially in Boy Scouts and I'm so excited for him!  I know he will love it.  We had his first pack meeting and he got to learn some archery. He had such a determined little face and the poor kid still has a healing broken arm.  He got his cast off last week and still has to wear a brace sometimes (at school and when he's playing outside).  I should have known better than to let him do a boy scout meeting without it.  It hurt his arm to do the archery and because of the cast he has a smaller range of motion.  He was so disappointed that he couldn't shoot it as far as everyone else.  We explained to him that it was because of his arm and he accepted it pretty well.  I'll be happy, and so will Jaxton I'm sure, when his arm is completely healed.

Tri School Trot 2014

Kayla had her first school fundraiser in September... The Tri School Trot.  I can't even believe it.  How is she so big so fast???  I feel like I was just writing this about Jaxton!  Who knew that two years would go by so quickly!  She was so excited to participate in something that big school age kids do... she was one of them now, and that couldn't have been more amazing to her!  Not only could she participate, but she knew that she would be running on the same track as her brother and she was ecstatic.  She was so cute to watch.  She wouldn't leave her teacher's side, but she did welcome Jenna in to walk and run with them.  Jenna felt so big and I was so happy that Kayla included her. 

I love how Jenna got right in there with all of the big kids... so cute.

I had two very proud children after their run.  Jaxton felt so big, saying that he ran 10 WHOLE LAPS!
