Well it has been a while we have been busy trying to relax..... We went to STL for Memorial Day weekend. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Temm. Jaxson got to experience the Temm family picnic. As always it rained! Thankfully it stopped raining and we got to take Jaxson to the park.... he got to swing and slide down a big boy slide.... He loves to play outside.... you can see pictures from this vacation here. Then we went to KS to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Farr the 2nd week of June. Jaxson got to go swimming, ride a horse (well sit on one), ride a 4-wheeler and play with his cousins Taylor and Tucker. Jaxson was cutting some more teeth (we hope) and didn't feel very well most the time we were there but from what we could tell he really liked the pool, and was very intrigued by the horses. You can see some pictures from this trip here.
If these weren't enough cute pictures you can look at these, we took them in STL.
In the midst of all of this we have been doing some work around the house... we got a back patio, did some landscaping in the front of the house, painted our cabinets in the kitchen, and are installing laminate in the entry way, kitchen, and hall. So as you can tell we have had a busy month.

It's HERE!
Well you can't see it because apparently Jaxson thinks it is a secret. But he has his 1st tooth coming through. It has just barley broken through but he is finally cutting teeth. Janese and I were beginning to wonder how long he was going to wait. As soon as we can get a good picture of it we will be sure to put one up so you can see it.

fun outdoors
Jaxson LOVES to be outside!
Janese and I took him for a walk at the Canal downtown on Friday. It is such a beautiful place to go and walk in the spring. We got Jaxson out for some photo shoots a couple times along the way. We let him sit in the flowers off of a tree he thought his was hot stuff as you can see. He did try to eat them (ofcourse) everything goes in his mouth but still no teeth.
check out our webalbum with some more pics of our walk.

growing boy
Jaxson has been growing a lot it seems like lately. 
As you have seen, he started to eat real food and he started to army crawl...two huge things. It's finally warm enough to take Jaxson for walks outside and man does he love to go around the neighborhood. Today as we were walking we came across two ducks, once he noticed them he was extremely intrigued by them, but as we got closer, the ducks flew away. Jaxson couldn't understand where the ducks went, he kept looking back and forth for them, it was really cute. He has also started to really play hard in the bath tub, so much so that he doesn't want to get cleaned off because that takes away from his play time. We put him in there sitting up and it seems within moments he has gotten on his belly and "swims" around like a little fish. Well the water is only 2" deep or so but he sure does love to move around and chase his toys.... (one is a duck funny huh?). He also LOVES to splash with his hands and feet the entire time he is in the water. Janese and I can't wait to take him to a pool this summer and see what he thinks about that.

army crawling fool
Well I think Jaxson has perfected the "army crawl"..... watch this!
At the end his reward for chasing the cup across the room was a drink of water out of a "big boy cup".

new things for Jaxson
Jaxson has had a busy last week or so. Last Tuesday Janese started feeding him some real food (fresh carrots)..... watch the video.
He ate carrots for a couple days and did great. He ate like a pro it took him a minute or two to get the gum it, swallow it, get more pattern down but once he got it you can't stop him. After carrots we switched to sweet potato's for a couple days and now today peas. Jaxson has been doing great with his new foods he LOVES to EAT! Peas for a couple more days then we go to my favorites fruits.
He has also been working on this..... MUST WATCH!
We don't know how much longer it will be before he gets it down but he REALLY wants to crawl. He has been going to the nursery at church and watches all the "big kids" crawl around. It is funny to see envy in a 6 month old.

what's new?
Well not much.... Janese and I are crazy busy at the church getting ready for Easter. This next week will be a long one for both of us. Janese is working on volunteer recruitment and training... as you can imagine it takes a couple hundred volunteers to pull off weekend services and Easter we need even more. I have a huge task in front of me as well. We are doing 2 of our 6 services in our gym it is a double court so we can seat about 1200, the task is not to make it look and feel like a gym so we are pulling out all the stops for production in there and covering every wall with a curtain to help with the looks and the sound. We will see how it goes... I am sure we will have some pictures in a week or so. We also have family coming in town this week.
Jaxson is doing well he is for the most part a happy boy. He has started to further develop an attitude and man can he turn it on. He has also been working on a tooth we think so he has been grouchy from that and he has been waking up in the middle of the night for some reason. I am convinced that he knows how busy mom and dad are and wants to get some quality time in sometime.... :)
Well that is about all.... here is a new picture of Jaxson.
