Mr. Chuck E. Cheese

My sister in-law invited us to Chuck e cheese today. Wow. I didn't realize it would be so exhausting! But me & shawnee did kick butt at the whack-a-mole game!

Us shakin' our groove thing. Dax insisted I do it with him.

All he wanted to do was crash his car into the side rail.

This one is for my mom. Ski Ball :0)

Yeah... That's right. It got so serious, I had to kneel down!

Dax had no idea the mouse was behind him....

And who'd have thought, but my son & nephew are actually really good at air hockey!

Now we're home, and we are BOTH going to lay down for a nap!

'The Castle'

Earlier this week, Dax pointed to a picture of the Salt Lake Temple, and told his Grandpa that it was a castle. Grandpa Tim tried to correct him, but Daxton was sure it wasn't a temple. It was a castle.

So tonight, we joined some of the family, and headed down to see the amazing light display at the Salt Lake City Temple.

Want to play another round of 'Where's Daxton?' See if you can find him in the first picture...

They had a fun display with the whole story of Jesus' birth. Dax lasted a whopping two seconds with that one...

Morgan talked him into knocking on the temple door & to ask for santa...

And of course... where there is water, there is Daxton!

Grandpa & Grandma were so nice to buy him a cup of 'chocolate hot.'

It was the perfect end to a fun night!

Another Santa Trip

We headed up to Weber State today to attempt another santa photo.

I just thought it was too cute watching Will & Dax hold hands on the way in!

Ryker was soooooo happy. Even when we were waiting in line!

& Ta DA:

He wasn't interested in sitting on Santa's lap, but was ok standing next to him!

He even got to check out a few of Santa's reindeer!

The last picture told me that he was getting irritated with me yelling: 'Dax, turn around. Look at mommy! Say Cheesearoni!'

Overall it was a fun day! We just got home, and the kids asleep, so I'm going to go sneak in a quick nap!

O' Chritsmas Tree...

It took Dax a few times, but he managed to master the art of hanging ornaments on our tree!

Once we got him started.... it was hard to get him to stop!

He even got Morgan involved!

Special thanks to Tim & Anita for letting us use their old ornaments.

We Changed The Lights

We changed the lights in the box to some that flicker. Dax was flipping out over the colors! I know the pictures are kind of blurry, but still cute, right?

Photo's Courtesy Of Shawnee

Believe it or not, I forgot my camera...

I know, crazy right? ME without a camera???

Luckily, Shawnee remembered hers, and she got a few cute photo's of Dax at the zoo

He had so much fun with his cousin & friend Isabella! I know I post a ton of Zoo photo's, but he just loves it. Oh, and if you're thinking it's way too cold to just be running around in a hoodie... you're right. But he did NOT want his big jacket on....

Dax's Box

Morgan brought home a box big enough to fit ten full sized adults. Needless to say, he's been Dax's favorite person fro the last week.

WELL, today, I earned that title back! I added Christmas lights to the inside of his box!

(Don't worry, I looked into fire hazards and such, we're good!)

We've been playing in that darn box for the last hour, and it doesn't look like his love for the thing is going to fade any time soon! I love that all it takes is some cardboard to make him so happy!
