Happy BIrthday to Jaxon

Jaxon turned 8 today and I can't believe it. He is so excited to be baptized. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kid! I love it when he crawls in bed with me and snuggles me. I love it when he sees me in the hall at school and gives me a big hug (I hope he NEVER grows out of that). I love to watch him play. He is very creative and has an interesting imagination. I love that he is such a good big brother and for the most part is very patient with Parker. I love that he has a desire to learn new things and loves to read books that teach him new things. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kid!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE that he learned how to mow the lawn this summer.

We let him sleep with Parker over Christmas break and it was fun to listen to them talk as they were trying to fall asleep. I hope they will always be best friends.

SICK of sick!!!!!

Ok, I hate to complain about having a sick kid, because honestly we have been blessed with good health in our family and I am really grateful for that, but Jaxon has had to miss lots of fun stuff because he's sick so much. It all started the day he was born, what a rough start, then because of that he has such weak fragile lungs and it seems like he catches EVERYTHING!!!!! This bad air is really making it hard for him. Anybody know of a good miracle vitamin or something that I should be giving him for that extra boost that he really needs right now??? I'm going to try Reliv (I think that's how you spell it). If any of you know of something good please let me know because I am really tired of this and he is more tired of it than I am. This weekend it was the croup and now strep throat. YUCK!!!!!!!!!! But-like I said, I know things could be much worse and I am very thankful that they aren't!!!! Also, I am thankful that I live NOW because there are medications that can make things much better. Whenever he gets sick I can't help but thing of the people who lived long ago, or the pioneers comming across the plains that had to just watch helplessly as their children died. What would they have given to the meds that we have now???
