My Little Girls is not so Little
It has been so nice to have off of work today. We have ran errands and just relaxed today. I had to get a few things for this Easter weekend. In one of the stores, there were the small animal baby blankets and Ella really like them. So I told her she could throw her "blankie" away and get an animal blankie. She said no at first. I told her how nice it would be to have a new one that she could fit in her bag. I said we could take a picture with her old blankie. That way she could always have a picture to look at if she started missing it. She walked around the store and as I was checking out, she brought a pink/brown dog animal blanket to me. I made sure she really was ready to get rid of her green blankie and she told me yes. After getting home, we took pictures and then Daddy helped her throw it away. What a brave grown up little girl:o)

Last Sunday, April 10, we dedicated Jaxon to the Lord. Our Sunday school pastor was able to pray over him, which was special to us. We are so blessed to have him in our lives but know that he is the Lord's. He has great plans for little Jaxon and I can't wait to see what those plans are!
Some funny things happened before he actually got dedicated and thought I would share. Maybe some of you with multiple kids can relate! At 3:30 am, I got so sick till about 8 am and was in the bathroom more so than not. After debating on even going to curch for the baby dedication, we decided to go. I was able to get myself and the kids ready in record breaking time. Brian got breakfast ready. And at 10:15 am we were out the door to be on time. As we are getting out of the van, I look down and see Ava shoeless! I asked her," Ava, where are your shoes?" (hoping she would say she took them off in the van). Instead, her response was," I left them at home." Brian and I looked at each other, quite annoyed that our 3 year old felt the need to take her shoes off...at home. So, Brian took Ava to get her shoes and I took Ella and Jaxon. Now it is 10:25 and church starts in 5 minutes. We find our reserved seating which is in the 2nd row. Praise and Worship starts. I can finally breathe!
My mom calls, while I am sitting in the second row at church, wanting to know where the church is. I can't hear her due to praise and worship so I hang up on her and decide texting is necessary in this situation. I am praying that the cameras don't look my way!
Finally, about 5 minutes before the pastor does the dedication, everyone arrives! It was a beautiful service and I was glad the craziness was over!
Except for the fact that we went to eat Japanese afterwards and Ava leaned on the highchair holding Jaxon and they both went tumbling to the ground!
Some special people were there with us to share in Jaxon's special dedication service: Mimi, Anthony, and Wesley, Gramma and Grampa, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Jess, Maddox and Dominic.

Springing Forward
I am a little ocd when it comes to doing things, which includes blogging. I get stressed out if I leave anything out so then I just get further behind! And when I got further behind, that stressed me out! Anyway, I have decided that when I have time to blog I will. But those other times that I am busy with my family and work, I will not worry myself to death over blogging.
To say all that, I have some pictures from February through April of the kids. They are growing up so fast. I can't wait for the summer time to come so I can spend everyday with them!
These first few were taken when Brittany took the girls and Kate on a picnic and to the nail salon. I went along to take some pictures of the girls first time getting their nails painted. They were so excited!
This is the best shot I could get of Dominic's dedication on February 20th. He was so handsome and sweet. I can't wait to see what the Lord has for Him as he gets bigger!
Here are a couple art crafts Ella has done in preschool. She always loves going to school!
Jaxon absolutely loves bath time. He just sits in the bathtub so relaxed and doesn't make a peep except to coo a little. It is so sweet:o)
This picture was taken right before his first visit to church on February 27. I love this outfit on him. He looks like a little rocker!
Jaxon is 2 months old in this picture.
For Spring Break, we went to Georgia to hang out with my family. Before we left to come back home, we stopped at the park so the kids could play and run some extra energy off.
Here is Jaxon at 3 months.
