So sad, but still so cute!

Here are some photo's from our latest adventure. He just looked so stinken cute in the hospital gown before surgery. Sorry the quality is so bad. It's from a phone camera. It was hard to see him so happy when I knew what was about to happen.

Projects...

SO... Being a stay at home mom is fabulous. The only problem is it puts us on a tight budget. With Dax's birthday coming up, I decided to get creative. We just finished our first party decoration/favor. I think it came out great! Here it is step by step:

I started with an empty baby food jar and some fabric. I traced the lid onto the fabric, cut it out, and mod podged it on.(I love that stuff)

Next I printed a cute number one to go on top, and a small banner reading 'Happy Birthday Daxton' to glue along the side of the lid.


Finally I filled them with colorful goldfish crackers (since most of his friends are too small for candy) and skittles for the older people. I tied a ribbon around it and voila! Cute party favors. I couldn't have done it without Morgan! We debated on whether or not to put a character onto every jar (the theme is Sesame Street), but decided we just don't have the motivation!

Planes!

We took Dax up to the Hill Air Force Museum yesterday. He had a great time running around, but was more interested in the wheels on his stroller then the planes. :0)

Family Night at the Aquarium

We had a tragic loss in our family this week. Dax's fish spot has died. (thanks to mom cleaning out the tank and putting water in it that was way too cold. Dad's in charge of that from now on). To help Dax get over this tragedy we decided to take him to the salt lake aquarium. It was an interesting experience. Much less then what I expected, but the little guy sure enjoyed it.

If anyone is ever interested in going, I recommend going the first Monday of the month after 4PM. It's family night, and half price.
