Cute Jaxson

I have had some cute chats with Jax lately. Our conversation tonight went like this:

M: Jaxson, I love you.
J: I love you, too, mom.
M: I think you are handsome.
J: Mom, I think you are beautiful.

Doesn't that just melt any Mom's heart?

On Wednesday morning, I got up to make breakfast and get the kids ready for school. I had this conversation with Jaxson:

J: Dad wants you to go give him hugs.
M: Where is he?
J: In bed.
M: I will go give him hugs after I finish cooking the eggs.
J: You go give Dad hugs... I will guard the eggs.

I sure love my little man!

Baby Love

The boys LOVE to hold the baby.

Every morning Jax asks if she is going to sleep all day and if he can hold her when she wakes up. He is a good little daddy.Is this the cutest picture or what? Bastian loves to kiss baby Andi and he LOVES to hold her and make her laugh.
It is such a joy to have these kids in our home. 5 kids seems like a lot, but after you are outnumbered with 3, 5 is not so different... It just takes a little longer to get in and out of the car:)

The Joy of Working with TOOLS!!!

Jaxson got to help his dad fix Grandma's bike... Well, sort of, if a saw is necessary?
They are definately cute enough to pull this off:)

Baby Andee!!

Listen to this sweet laugh. I was blowing raspberries and she thought I was so hilarious!

Happy Birthday, Nina!

Nina's birthday bash was at the park last weekend. Treslee's parents brought this funny little horse for the kids to get rides.

Happy Bastian! Charlee and Jaxson with Nina's grandma.
Bastian and Oaklee loved it, too.Yee Haw!!

"Scotteefying"

So, Andee is really spelled Andi, but I figured that since she is all spiffied up with bows and frilly stuff while she lives with me that I would spell her name with my signature "ee". (Charlee, Oaklee, Journee, Trevee) I hope she won't mind later:) Now, could I spell Bastian with "ee" somehow??? mmmmm?? hehehe

Jaxson really enjoyed his candy:) We only went down one street and up the next, but look at all this loot!

Charlee and Jax love to play mom and dad!

GO DEVILS!!!

The Primary Program

Charlee and Oaklee are participating in the primary program today at church. This is where all of the primary aged kids (ages 3- 12) sing and talk in Sacrament Meeting. It is such a spiritual experience to see all of these sweet children share their testimonies. They had a practice yesterday in the chapel. We went to the ASU game, so we got the low down this morning. Charlee told us, "I speak clearly in the microphone... Oaklee can't reach the microphone. Even with the step stool. They had to bring a chair for Oaklee." Pretty funny:)

The ward campout!

We had so much fun at the ward campout. It was so cold! I was so glad we had our trailer with a heater!

Greg collected firewood.The kids had so much fun making marshmallows!
Aren't we just so cute?

Thanks go out to Tara who made the s'mores. I hate doing that!

First Day of School

Bastian went to school with Jaxson today. He did so well! Lorene said that he sang the songs, played the games, and did so well. Jaxson helped him learn the rules of the classroom and they had so much fun together!

Andee and Bastian

We have had the chance to have our niece and nephew stay with us these last few weeks. Going from 3 to 5 kids is quite an adjustment, but we are having so much fun:) Andee is 12 weeks and soooo much fun. She found her hands today. It is so cute. Bastian is 3 and quite the funny guy. He and Jaxson are the best of friends. They run around, actually, chase each other around. He is going to start going to preschool with Jaxson. They are really excited about that. So, we have a 6,5,3,3, and 12 week old kid!! Busy at the Barry house... and loving it:)
