May, June

It's been awhile since I have blogged. So, its time to update what has been happening in the Traxinger's house.

MAY

I went to Tavein's and Jared's engagement photo session and decided to take some pictures of my own. The area that they went to at 5:30 am was beautiful.

JUNE

First part of June was the end of the school year for the kids. Riley finished 5th grade, Taylor finished her Junior year and Tanealya got through her first year of job training school. We seem to have a graduation at the end of the school year and this year was no exception. Aiden graduated from kindergarten. He didn't have a ceremony, but he did have a great end of the year program. The song that brought everyone to tears was "Let Them Be Little".

Riley also had an end of the year program. He played in the band and sang in the chorus.

June 2 we went to Spokane to celebrate Emma and Olivia's 6th Birthday.

 The theme this year was Hello Kitty.

Tracie decorated the house. It looked very festive.

The girls had a pinata.

                                                                 Tracie made sure everyone got a turn.

They both got lots of presents.

Then came time to blow out their candles.

Tracie throws the best parties.  It was a great day and everyone had fun.

The last week in June Papa and I went to Spokane to take care of the kids while Tracie and Marc worked. It was a great weekend filled with
swimming, 

                                                                     story time,

                                                                   dress up,

more story time,

chocolate cake,

showing off the garden,

and just being cute.

They were quite entertaining. We had a lot of fun and got a small break from wedding planning.



Week End With Jaxon

We had Jaxon this week-end. He is a very busy little boy. He likes to read If Your Give A Mouse A Cookie. 

Play in his walker even if he can only go backwards. 

Have Papa feed him his bottle. 

Take a nap on Nana. 

Pose in his outfit from Jared's mom. The outfit fits his personality just perfect. 

Watch Papa work in the yard. 

 

 

Take another nap, he does sleep a lot. 

Play with Papa. Jump in  His jumper. He can really jump high,Chew on his favorite toy.

And read the Sunday paper. 

He has been a very busy boy. And it's only Sunday morning. 

 

 

Jaxon Turns 5 Months

Wow, Jaxon turned 5 months old on April 18th. He is developing a really neat personality.

He is such a good boy.
 
His favorite activity right now is jumping in his jumper.
Aiden loves to sit and watch him.

Jaxon Laughs

Today Tanealya was playing with Jaxon and his laugh was so cute.

Fortnightly

Jared and Tavein are treating us to dance lessons. This is our fourth week. We have joined a group called Fortnightly. They have three formal dress dinner dances, guys must wear tuxes, and one picnic dance at the County Club. Here we are in our finest dress. Don't the guys look great.   

 Even Jaxon got in on the pictures. Taylor stays with him while we are gone. He loves her and she is great with him.

 

 Tavein looked like Cinderalla. She borrowed her dress from Taylor and her shoes weren't glass slippers but tennis shoes. Everyone at the dance got the biggest kick out of that.

 These are the flowers we received because we were new members. This is a fun group. They even reconized Jared for serving in Afganistan.

Happy Easter

Jaxon's first Easter.

 Asmart hat and outfit,

a basket full of goodies,

 a penguin toy,

 Easter rabbit ears,

First time in his high chair.

A card for Nana.
 
Giant Easter Eggs.
.

Aiden and Riley got airplanes.

The weather was great. Not a cloud in the sky today. Riley wasn't feeling good so they didn't come over this year because we didn't want to get Jaxon sick. We took airplanes to the boys and purses to the girls for Easter to their house. Tavein, Jared and Jaxon spent the day with us. 
Here's wishing everyone a Happy  Easter everyone.

Happy Birthday

While at Tracie's house we celebrated our birthday's. We had cake and ice cream, a birthday song and presents. Thanks Tracie for the great cake.
 When we got home Tavein and Jared had us over for dinner and Tavein baked her first cake. It was great. Jaxon celebrated with us. Jerry's store put up a sign wishing him Happy Birthday.

It was a great week of celebrations.
 

Trip to Spokane

Jared, Tavein and Jaxon joined us on our trip to Spokane. We made a stop at Toys R Us and Jaxon tried out some cars. The police car because mom used to drive one. The corvet, where he was wondering where the cute chick was that should be sitting beside him and of course what car testing would be complete without testing Mader.

Olivia was in awe of Jaxon. We should call her the baby whisperer. She looked after him the whole weekend. Jaxon was fasinated with her antanes. Jaxon loved everyone. Thank you Tracie and Marc for having us.

While there Marc and Jack let Tavein and Jared shoot. Marcus helped by pulling the targets.
