Jaxton's Blessing & a Birthday

We wanted to bless Jaxton while Jimmy was home from BYU, so we held his blessing in our house on Jan 1. It was different, but nice. Everyone came over and Patrick gave Jaxton a name and a blessing (its a church thing). Since all the family was over for the blessing we decided it would be a good time to have a little family party for Preston who would be turning 2 on the 13th. 


 Our happy family.
 (please ignore this less than great pic of me and focus on my cute boys)


 So handsome and serious in his blessing outfit! It's the same one Preston and Noah wore, so the tradition continues!
What a cute little pug nose. . . .

 So big already! What happened to my baby?!?!
 Present time!!!!
His Aunt Jen made him his own boy apron so now he doesn't have to wear my pink flower one! He loves it.
He also got a big truck, new sweater (which he tells me if soft every time he puts it on or off), sand toys- b/c Jimmy made him a sandbox!!! a shaving set, underwear, camera, and some food that is velcro'd together with a wooden knife he can use to cut it. Pretty sure there was more, but it was 17 days ago and I can't remember. 

 "Happy Birthday to You" is one of his favorite songs, so he loved everyone singing to him. He tried to blow out the candles, but needed a little help.
And here he is at the end of the night in all his glory. He thinks he's hot stuff wearing his Star Wars underwear over his diaper!
