Dryer Spin

I finished folding the clothes in the dryer and disappeared for 3 minutes to put them away. When I returned, this is what I found:

Christmas 2009

Christmas was so wonderful this year. Jason got 12 days of leave time, so we packed up the car and headed north to Kansas City. We had a wonderful and relaxing time with family, which made it hard to leave. It snowed Christmas Eve and we had a beautiful White Christmas!





Grandpa and Grandma Hager's:

Hat on, gloves on, ready to head out into the cold.



He LOVES his Chuck the Truck Tonka truck. It's a talking truck and he follows it all over the house repeating everything it says!



Aunt Steph and Gary from Tucson, AZ came to KC for Christmas! We were so excited to spend Christmas Eve with them.



Miss Page concentrating on opening her gifts.



A new coat! Jaxon loves getting clothes just as much as he loves getting toys. He tried putting on all of the clothes as he pulled them out of boxes.



Jaxon got a K-State truck in his stocking. He LOVES trucks and was super excited that it had a "Mommy's Go Cats" on the hood.








Christmas morning with Mom and Dad:



Santa brought Jaxon a cool tool bench with electric power tools. He and Daddy have spent many hours "building" things with the power tools.



A tent to play in! Daddy is already planning their first camp out in the backyard.



I told you he loves clothes!




CHEESE! We woke up around 1:00AM Christmas morning and discovered that the "blizzard" had knocked out the power at my mom's house. It was a freezing 50 degrees in the house that morning, so we were all bundled up while opening gifts. We had bought Jax some cute Christmas PJ's, but they are somewhere under his layers of clothes at this point.






Memaw and Papa Schu's:

Cool new basketball goal from Memaw and Papa Schu.


He was really into opening gifts this year.



Page is lounging in her new KU bean bag chair.



Opening his stocking.







Ouma and Oupa's:



Poor Rowan! She and Braden are trying to play with her new Strawberry Shortcake toy and Jaxon thought it looked like a nice place to sit.



A teeball from Ouma and Oupa! Daddy is going to make an athlete out him yet!



A new book! Jax didn't waste any time getting Daddy to read to him.



Goofy face!



Jaxon and Wyatt thought jumping on Wyatt's new basketball goal was more fun than playing with new toys.

Thanksgiving 2009

I know, Thanksgiving was almost two months ago, but I'm just getting around to blogging about it.

Jason left for Spokane, WA at the beginning of November, and rather than spend the month of November in Arkansas, Jaxon and I lived with my mom that month. It was very relaxing and we were able to see a lot of friends and family while we were there. Jason was still in WA on Thanksgiving, so I decided to try and surprise him when he got home. I invited our best friends from the Air Force up to Kansas City to spend Thanksgiving with us and be there when Jason got home from training. Jeff and Caitlin came up from their current station at Little Rock Air Force Base and Chris and Mae came up from their current station at Altus AFB in Altus, OK. Jaxon and I picked Jason up from KCI on Saturday afternoon and our friends were waiting for him in the living room when we got to my mom's. He was so surprised and so excited to see them. We celebrated Thanksgiving that Saturday afternoon and had a blast catching up with our friends, until they had to leave Sunday morning. It was definitely a Thanksgiving we'll always remember.


Unfortunately this is the only picture I took, but Memaw, Papa Schu, my sister, Jenn and my niece, Page were also at Thanksgiving dinner!
