Happy Birthday Tavein!!

Tavein finally got to celebrate her birthday. Her birthday was Thursday but she got the flu, thanks to Jaxon, so she was sick on her birthday. But that turned out to be okay because she got to celebrate on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Her favorite cake. Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream and Chocolate Cake. 

Nice baby bump.

Blowing out her candles.

Road Trip to Helena

Last week-end we took a trip to Helena. Tavein had to return a dress she bought on-line and we wanted to go to Cosco. 

 Jaxon is a very good traveler. 

First stop was Macys.  Jaxon loved shopping. Tavein even found a cute shirt for the season. It was kind of funny that she found it because she had just showed it to me on-line.

Then we headed to the Carousal. 

First ride, Jaxon got to go on a frog. 

Mommy got the brass ring so the next ride he started on the horse,

 

tried to ride with mommy, 

but mommy was busy trying to get another brass ring.

So, Jaxon joined daddy on the frog again. He loved the carousal. 

When we were leaving he posed for a picture on the rabbit. Mommy got the brass ring again. So next trip to Helena, we will have a free ride on the carousal. 

We ended our trip at the wing place for dinner.

Halloween

The house is all decorated, 

Inside and out. 

 

Jaxon is discovering pumpkins. 

   He would rather eat the pumpkin than carve it. 

So, Mommy 

and Daddy do the carving for him. 

The middle pumpkin was carved by Papa. 

 

I went with Tavein to the pumpkin patch. 

This was Aiden's favorite scarecrow. 

Then we set him in the patch. 

Tonight he came over to trick or treat. He found himself a treat. 

 

Jaxon even greeted some trick or treaters. 

Off for some more trick or treating. 

A visit to Paul our neighbor. 

Sabrina's kids came over to trick or treat with some friends.

Tanealya came with Aiden, Riley and Jaden. And Taylor came with her friend Bri.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween.

July

July was Tavein's wedding month. We spent most of the month re-landscaping the back yard. We took down the decks and put in a patio, re-sodded the yard, put in some new garden's, and a corner deck.

Aiden and Jared removed the old bricks for the patios.

Aiden brought everyone glasses of water. The weather was very hot.

Tavein and Jared were a great help. They removed rocks, sod and helped anyway they could.

They even helped lay the sod in the backyard. With their help we managed to get it all in in one day.

New gardens.

New planter and deck.

New patio. The backyard turned out great.

We celebrated the 4th of July by attending the parade.Jaxon's stroller was all decorated. He took first place in a contest on the base the day before.

Tavein and Jaxon dressed in red. Jared had to work so they went with us.

Even Aiden came to the parade.

Black Hawk flew over.

Sabrina and her family joined us.

Tanealya was in the parade.

Jaxon had a great time.
