Jax Turns Two!
We had a blast celebrating Jax’s 2nd Birthday! This year flew past (literally) and the theme was airplanes so it was quite fitting! Jax adores airplanes and always points them out as they fly over us, so we knew this would make the party fun for him! Jax was excited as we started getting decorations put up and made “cake-cakes” as he calls cupcakes! He especially loved his very own airplane that Daddy made him! When he woke up and saw it, he said “Ooh, airplane.” It was pretty sweet!
Photo booth fun- made by Daddy!
Cupcake Time!
Playing outside with friends!
Jax asked to hold his sweet cousin Emma! He was very chill and enjoyed holding her! So precious!
Happy 2nd Birthday to my baby boy! Jax, your Daddy and I love you so much and you are a gift from God! Your joy, affection, love, and sweet spirit bless our lives each day. You light up the room with your smiles and loud giggles! You have a teachable heart, and we pray God uses us to point you to your Maker and the one who loves you more than we could in our strength- Jesus. You are so fun to hang out with and you bring joy to everyday tasks and are excited to help! You are so stinkin’ smart and you amaze us each and every day with your new words, phrases, and your memory! You remember things that we even forget and will say who gave you a certain toy or something that happened when we were at a certain place. You love books, cars, trucks, balls, tools, hats, and your puppy Missy! We love you and can’t wait to see God’s plan for this next year of your life! Please don’t grow too fast; you still are our baby boy, you know?

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jax!
Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet, funny, caring, helpful son Jax!!! I can't believe two years have passed since I first held his newborn body in my arms! I am blessed to be his mama and thankful to my Lord for the gift of this precious boy to love, raise, and pray for. This boy has taught me much about how to love deeply, to enjoy the simple moments, to laugh hard, and through him I have learned to rely on the Lord in a way I never had before becoming a parent. It's funny how becoming a parent can change you in so many ways when you're supposed to be the one doing the "raising." God is good in gently showing me my weaknesses and only through His power can I be the mama that He designed me to be. Ryan, thank you for entering this journey of parenting as my leader! Jax, I can't wait to see what this next year holds and pray you will begin to grasp who Jesus really is- the one you sing about when you sing "Jesus loves me.... know....Bible...so"! I love my baby boy!
Here’s a look back over all the fun and growing that has happened in the last year!
I had fun looking back at the day God brought Jax into our arms: Jackson's Birth Story
Fun on the 4th of July!
Jax is almost two and I can’t believe it! He is such a joy and so much fun to play with, talk to, and hang out doing everyday life! Jax loves playing outside and he also loves being in the kitchen with mama! Many times if I’m in the kitchen, he’ll ask for a chair and if I don’t respond fast enough, he is pushing a chair over to the counter. He likes to “help” with dishes so I will fill the smaller sink up a little bit and let him pour the water. He also does a great job helping me wash produce or move green beans into a bowl after I trimmed off the ends. He loves to help and be a part of whatever I’m doing! It really is fun to have him so interested in what I’m doing and want to help! At times, we have a bigger mess but Ryan reminds me “Jax just loves you and want to be right with you.” I remember this often and just enjoy the moments I get to spend with Jax in the kitchen! :-)
Here are some pictures from the 4th of July!
