copy cat

more and more i am realizing how much we have to watch what we say with listening ears! although we have not had any "bad words" repeated (not that we say any :) ) he does repeat a lot of things that we say. his latest that jsut makes me laugh is calling me and greg by our first names. the other day greg was calling for me, all of a sudden i hear this little voice.... "mee sow, mee sow," and there is jaxon calling my name with daddy! so now he calls me momma, mom, mommy, and mee sow! later on i was calling for greg and he started calling "ga weg, ga weg" it was all i could do to not laugh! it was so cute to hear his little voice calling for greg! so "mee sow" and "ga weg" really have to watch what we say..........

Sledding

i am sure most of you have heard me complain about tropic and how there is nothing to do there. one saturday greg and i decided that we would wonder around and find something to do. as we walked around the hotel/motel property we found a sled. and it so happens that there are small to big hills right behind some of the buildings. jax loves to be pulled around on one so greg pulled him all around. well he then decided to sled down some of the hills with him, which i was grateful for because i didn't have the energy or the strength to pull jax up the hills.

they both we having a lot of fun, especially jax! well greg then got the idea to jsut let jaxon go down by himself! it was steep enough to make me worried about sending an 18 month old by himself! but what does mommy know when it comes to potentially dangerous fun things!?? well i was worried about nothing! Jax LOVED it! he FLEW down that hill! he kept asking "agen, agen!" (again, again) greg and i started splitting up the task of taking him up the hill. it didn't tak long before we were both exhausted! and we had a crying little boy the whole way home! all he wanted to do that day was sled down the hill! all and all i think it was just as much fun for us 'rents as it was for little man!

our lives as of now........

i think we finally know what we are going to be doing concerning our lives! we finally got an offer from bryce pioneer village. ( they are a hotel restaurant tourist company, the owners also owned the school greg worked at ) pay isn't exactly the best, but there are several "perks" that help to compensate. during the winter months they are closed so we will be able to travel or do what ever during that time while still getting paid, greg can take jaxon to work with him when i need help or a break, we are working on some on the side business to make more money. for example we will be doing corprate retreats and scrapbook retreats so if you are interested ;) let me know! so we will deffinatly have our hands full for the next several months, ok i should clarify GREG will have his hands full!, but it will be an adventure! plus we love the owners and have a lot of fun with them so we know we will at least have fun during all the hard work! greg really has a bad taste in his mouth for therapy after having such a bad experience so this will be a nice change for him and an opportunity to try something new. SOOOO we will be in tropic for at least another year. the good news is that we are finally getting internet!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

jaxon is getting more and more fun as the days go on but along with that he is getting to be more and more of a handful! he talks none stop and is making sentences with always catches me by surprise! he loves music, singing and dancing! he plays on the drumset his uncle gave him for christmas constantly and sings songs while he plays. one of his favorite parts of the day is in the morning when we have dance parties. we turn up the radio and dance! if i try to do something else he yells at me to "dance momma!" he also loves to visit daddy at work and "help" him. greg has been doing a lot of remodeling and there are tools everywhere. jaxon will pick up what ever and mimmick what ever greg is doing. he loves to hammer and use the screw driver. lately he has really become a momma's boy. he always wants me to hold him and doesn't like it when i leave anywhere without him! although it is cute and i love the new attention, i am getting to big to hold him and he is getting to heavy for me to hold him! i wonder if he can sense things are going to be changing?

as for me i am feeling great! minus the horrible heartburn every night, things have been good. luckily i mentioned it to my dr at my last visit and got a perscription for previcid!!!! i am in heaven! that medicine has been heaven sent! so speaking of my last dr apt, everything looks great with the baby! no surprise the baby is measureing 9 days bigger. my due date is june 27 but with what the baby is measuring at, they could change my due date to june 18th. since i am having another c-section it doesn't matter if we change the date so we just left the date the way it is. jaxon always measured big through out my whole pregnancy so they moved my date up and he ended up comming on my original due date. i guess i just have big babies! we also found out what we are having!!!! i am sure you all noticed that we are having a GIRL!!! i had a feeling from the begining that it was a girl. everything was different this go round so i felt it jsut had to be a girl! i will be honest we really wanted a boy. a girl kinda freaks me out, they are hormonal, sensitive, all that kinda stuff where boys are nore mischevious. i can handle the dirty mischevious boys but hormonal girls.....that is a whole other story! plus we already have EVERYTHING! for a boy. but we have a girl and we are going to have new experiences with her! plus i get to shop for a whole new wardrobe! can't complain there! truley we are excited for what ever and can't wait to meet this little girl!

all the best!
