The Circus
A couple of days ago we were watching TV, and a commercial for the Ringling Brothers Circus - Zing Zang Zoom- came on. They were doing shows here in Corpus Christi today & tomorrow (4th). I was super excited because I haven't ever been to the circus. Anyway, we took Jaxson today and we had a blast. Jaxson thought it was pretty cool too, although he did take a 20 minute nap in the middle of all the LOUD noises. Some of our favorites of the day were the tight rope, dog trick show, tigers, elephants holding each others tails, trapeez, disappearing acts, and the people being shot out of the cannon. Here a a few shots of before the show and during. Notice that Jaxson isn't ever looking at the camera -- he was looking at all the craziness going on around him haha. Enjoy!

Sea Turtles n' such
We got up at 5:40 am Monday morning to go watch the hatchling sea turtles get freed into the Ocean. For about 5 years now, I have really wanted a small turtle (just like these) as a pet, and his name is going to be Milton :) It was super fun and cute to see all of these turtles (167 of them) crawling across the sand trying to get to the water. It was a fun experience for us (except for the 5 am stuff).
Race to the sea!
I can't get enough of this kid. He loves sleeping like this.
Last weekend we were walking around some of the shops by the beach. We thought this one had a pretty cool door.
Making good use of our year pass to the Aquarium. Jax thought this turtle guy was pretty sweet. 
Jaxson likes looking at the fish.
Jaxson and I were able to go swimming with the fish, kind of.

But they tasted so good!
We have a confession as a family .... we ate tooooo many oreo balls this past weekend while in Utah. For the wedding reception, Rhonda, Lee, & Emily made this delicious oreo balls. You blend up a pkg. of oreos into crumbs, then add a pkg of cream cheese until they are mixed. Then you dip them in melted chocolate and put in the fridge. WOW, they are super good. You can do a similar recipe by making a cake (devils food) and then crumbling it and combining it with a container of icing (rainbow bit or cream cheese) and make round balls, dip in chocolate. seriously, it is sooo good.
Needless to say, I think we ate too many of those "satan balls" as someone coined them at the reception for their extreme goodness and badness all in one. Unfortunatley, we had some negative results .... check them out. Not sure how this happened to Jaxson because he didn't eat any (it must have been chocolate milk?)

UTAH
We were fortunate enough to be able to fly to Utah this past weekend to see Ryan's sister Erika get married in the Bountiful Temple. It was a beautiful wedding and it just made me so grateful for the Gospel. I love that families can be together forever if we live righteously. It makes me so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ, who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us. I love my Ryan and Jaxson so much, it makes me want to be the best I can be every day so that we can always be together.
Here is Erika and Ryan. Erika looked beautiful!! We had a lot of fun seeing her and all the other family. Jaxson also had a good time because he was spoiled with so much attention!
Erika & Allan coming out of the temple. Best wishes you two!
Ryan and his younger brother Jordan. He got off of his mission (Minnesota) almost 2 weeks ago. It was sooo awesome to see him & he and Jaxson loved playing with each other. Jordan was an awesome missionary! I think its awesome for our young LDS men to go out and preach the Gospel -- you guys are amazing!!
Me & my sweet baby! I love him so so much!
Here is the family -- From left to right: Lee, Rhonda, Ryan, Jaxson, ME, Jordan, Erika. "We are a happy family" (the primary song, and somewhat of a theme of the weekend)
It was a super fun weekend, we just wish it were longer. Hopefully we can see all these fun people again soon!

Life has been super crazy the past 2 weeks ish. We have been travelling around Texas and Utah. Even though it can be hectic, we are really grateful that Ryan has such a good internship and he is enjoying what he is doing. I just thought I would post pics of all the things we have been up to lately...
This is in Farmington Utah. We were watching Ryan's cousin play baseball, and Jaxson is starting to learn to sit up on his own. Its pretty fun to watch them learn :)
This is how Jaxson was napping one day. If I don't wrap him up, he loves to lay on his side with his hands and legs out. Most of high school I would sleep on my side with my arm straight out too.
Haha. Jaxson looks like a chunk here! (he really isn't though). This is after some yummy sweet potatoes. So far he has eaten rice & oatmeal cereal, green beans, sweet potatoes, and peas. He seemed to like them all. Or at least he opens his mouth when put the spoon near it.
He loves this toy! He sits in it for at least an hour a day.
Jaxson practicing his scales. Almost. He had fun pounding on the piano.
He loves food! I wonder where he gets that from...
Ryan's best friend from high school came and visited us while we were in Houston. It was fun seeing Daniel again. They went to a local gym to play a little basketball. Just look at these guys -- yep, they dominated!
We went to the aquarium again and this was a really cool cat (cerval i think?). It can jump 16 ft. up in the air to catch birds-wow!
This is an ant eater having some yougert-- i thought that was neat
We finally went to the USS Lexington air craft carrier that is about 5 mins from our apartment. It was fun to explore the whole thing. Here is Ryan and Jaxson playing with the guns.
These are the tiny beds that the people slept on. I think I would be clausterphobic
