We had a wonderful Christmas vacation in South Carolina, but we are now back to "regular" life and mostly settled. We cleaned the house, did all the laundry, and did some major de-junking this week. I finally have a little bit of time to blog this long post -- there are a ton of pictures- be ready....
Jaxson wearing his Santa (or HO HO HO hat as he calls it) hat

First day in South Carolina -- he loves to draw with chalk on the sidewalk. He learned how to say "nike basketball" while we were there. the kid is obesssed

We went to the zoo the day before Ryan got here. Jax is with Erika (Tee Tah), Jordan, and Jordan's girlfriend- Christine.

There was a kangaroo park -- so cool.

Christmas Eve, opening Pj's

Christmas Morning

Each couple got matching pj's


Jax insisted on putting on his new basketball outfit from G&G and then proceeded to playwith his new BYU basketball (thanks jordan & christine!) in the middle of the room/present opening. At least he has good form right?

We visited Papa (Ryan's grandpa) later that day.... 4 generation photo of good looking men

The couples (minus G&G - thanks for watching Jaxson) went on a day trip to Charleston. It is a beautiful city and it was so nice to have some time away for ourselves.

what a good looking man!

We stopped by the beach

and an old boat right outside the beach. this picture is awesome

we also went bowling --- Jaxson loved it

he even ran down the lane a couple of times when we looked away for a split second. the kid is fast!

Ryan helped Jaxson bowl really well - his score was close to mine both games

loves with Tee Tah and Grandma (go-go). Jaxson played a lot with these ladies over the break- esp. Erika. thanks for helping out so much with him!

check out that form

we went on a trip to the state museum. It was pretty cool - we have fun looking around!

giant shark. Jaxson's "cheese" face (whenever we get out the camera. guess he is trained well eh)

fun family photo

gigantic tire. how fun would it be to roll in this down a hill?!

how does he do that? magic.

Jaxson insisted on having a snack break while we were there. guess he was starving.

We celebrated Jaxson's 2nd birthday while we were there. He and Daddy sported their BYU gear, because BYU was playing in their bowl game- which they won in an exciting end of game play.

We went to Chic-Fil-A for lunch, as it is one of Jaxson's favorite places to eat. Dip dip!

Then we came home and ate some birthday cake - Jax actually ate more cake than frosting, I was quite shocked. He even says "I'm 2!" when you ask him how old he is. (he has been doing it since he was about 18 months old, I couldn't ever get him to say I'm 1!)


I'm 2

Opening some presents

playing outside like a manly-man

On New Year's Eve we went over to a family friend's house and lite fireworks. Jaxson thought it was pretty cool - especially the sparklers... which he almost lite Grandma's hair on fire. He did successfully burn a hole in his coat.
Thats it! haha, told you it was going to be long. We had a great vacation and enjoying spending time with family :) Here is to a great 2012!
