My boy.....

seems like all I do is blog about life or birthdays... lol!! O well I have actually done some scrapbooking lately to TRY and catch up- now to PRINT the ____ pictures I have ready to go (I wont even tell you the number of pictures I have to print-- maybe all Ill asked for Christmas is giftcards to get pictures printed at MPix !! lol )

Today is SUCH a special day for our family and have to share- its my Jaxsons birthday!

We have started only doing famly birthdays -- not forever and if one of them ever expressed wanting to have all their friends over for a bash Im game for it but honestly we have WAYYY too many kids to have to invite and plan out for 30+ people and feel bad for my friends having to buy a gift every other month for our family ( we have some GReat grandparents that tend to go overboard in that department anyway!! lol) so back to my boy Jaxs~

My first son... I PRAYED and hoped and WISHED him to be well HIM - a boy!! I thought I wanted a boy while pregnant with Emma but God knew the timing and how the bond between J and I would grow and blessed us with Jaxson with such perfect timing ( He does tend to do this for us huh? *wink!). I was so excited to even be sprinkled on by a lil boy ( at first!) BOYS are so.very.different. Not so much that they are all harder than girls- I have met a few girls with Cash's personality..... but O the adventures and play you get from a boy. Jaxson opened my eyes to how wonderfully made boys are . Jaxs is actually one of the reasons I have such a passion for photography- he explores it all- in photography I feel as though you have to also. Not that I am all knowing in the area I have soo much to work on still, but Jaxs has shown me to look deeper, feel harder, push myself to level I was not aware a now 6 year old could teach a momma!!

My Jaxson boy- You have blessed my life more than you may ever know - I cherish our talks at night, your interrupting tendencies, and your made dashes to get outdoors! I am so blessed to hear you call ME mommy and can't wait to see the man, the husband, the father you are to become one day:) much love my first born son forever and always!
