The hairy beast and her bald side kick...........


Maddox Leo Sandoval........ Named after Papa Leo





Did you know that Spidergirl rides a scooter?


I don't suggest making a Sams Club run with a full cart of children...


Tori Jo and her new little girl, Blayke Alayna Wackerman.........


Jaxon and his cousin Carson tearing in up on the wood floor...

Here's the scoop......... Breanne had baby Maddox on Tuesday. He was two weeks early and weighed in at a healthy 7.11. He is healthy and beautiful. I think he looks exactly like his sister Sophie. I had Halle come and hang out at our house for a couple of days. Jaxon had the time of his life with his cousin here. They terrorized my whole house! On Thanksgiving we rolled out to my moms house and ate a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. All the babies were born and present. There are now three little cousin born within 8 weeks of each other.
I wish Breanne and Noel the best of luck with their ever growing tribe, I wish I had leftovers for turkey sandwiches, and I am so thankful for the live I have been blessed with.

We made a quick little trip to boise this weekend. We ate and ate and ate. Jaxon was terrified of the swimming pool for some crazy reason. He has always loved to swim in the past. It was good seeing uncle Ry Ry on his own turf.............

Hulk/Jammie Party......

Jaxon and Xavier had what they like to refer to as an Incredible hulk party.This party was actually a ploy to get them to leave the park and maybe even take a nap when they got home. They were promised a "Hulk party" later that night,(whatever that means). The X man did not forget the promise made by his mom and I and begun talking about it as soon as he woke up. This party was unlike most parties considering there were only two guests, the dress code involved pajamas with feet, but most importantly you must watch the entire hulk movie. The party feast was a lavish spread of popcorn and redvines. Both of which were devoured by the two partygoers. the moral of this story is that if you tell a three year old a simple event is actually a party it suddenly becomes a lot cooler.

Ivy's first smiles caught on camera

Here's to a speedy recovery........

My Grandpa Gary had knee replacement surgery today. This is a little shout out wishing him a fast and easy recovery! I love you

Jaxon and Ivy's big photo shoot

Like father like son.....

Feisty Face

She is so cute. I just had to post a couple of pictures of little Ivy at 6 weeks old!

JUDO

He's not hard to spot... He's the one in the spidy suit

We had a brief encounter last year with Judo. Jaxon was still a little young for any organized activities but we tried anyways. This year is a whole new story. Jax loves going to judo two days a week. He has the nicest intructor named, Adolpho. The kids do all sorts of cute little running, jumping and obstacle course games. He is always asking me when he is going to learn how to fight.

Maybe Ziggy will get a better response from Jan and the Debster............... nO gArauntees



Debbie is not a big fan of your skills


I got the best e mail from my mom this morning... She is in Boston on a business trip and apparently has a hip hop side to her that we never knew about. This is the exact e mail she sent, "We went to an LL Cool J concert last night, or whatever the hell his name is. I was wondering if you girls had ever heard of him? His rapping was terrible. Believe it or not some people were really getting down to the music. I'm off to see Ziggy Marley tonight and I have no idea who he is either". That was seriously the funniest thing I've heard in ages. She then calls me on the phone to ask me if I knew what LL stood for. "Ladie's Love" she tells me proudly. She is always full of suprises.........

No sibling rivalry here!!!!

Jaxon is so suprisingly sweet with his baby sister. I love to listen to him talk to her when he thinks no one's listening. It goes something like this: " Hi baby sister you look so snuggly, "my name is Jaxon Carson. Do you know how to say my name yet? Do you want me to brush your hair pretty baby sister?" It is seriously the most tender thing to watch.

Jax really wanted to be Darth Vader for halloween at one point. We compromised and got him a light saber and told him to use his imagination for the rest of the costume.


Ivy had the most adorable Caterpillar costume but she was asleep when it came time to put it on. I'll post some pictures of her in it another time.


The lead singer reminded us of Ross. I felt like I was being personally serenaded by my very own husband... They were amazing by the way!

Melissa and I went to the Lady Antebellum concert Monday night. We had such a great time. our awesome moms watched the kids while we went. on the way to the concert we realized just how much our lives have changed concerning our old concert going days. This time making out with odd lead singers was replaced with pumping breast milk. Melissa also said on the way to the show that she could care less if we were going to see Hannah Montana as long as we were free for a night. HaHa! please excuse the hideous picture of me but it's the only one we got.


This is our masterpiece of a pumpkin at the Griffins annual pumpkin carving contest. Can you believe this beauty didn't even place?


Yes, we are those weirdos that dress up our dogs too.


Jaxon has been wearing his spider man costume everyday for about 2 weeks now. He's been soooo excited for Halloween this year. Yesterday we drove all the way to Idaho Falls for some Trick or Treating and the little stinker was petrified. He refused to say, "Trick or Treat", or anything else halloweenish for that matter. It was a total bust. Bummer!
