Crazy but wonderful!!

I cannot believe how crazy life is with 2 kids....I can't imagine what it would be like with more than that!! How did my mom do it with 6?!?! I love it though, it keeps me busy and they just make me so happy!! Jax has been so good and hasn't had too many episodes since Addison came into the picture. The biggest problem I've had with him is running defense so he doesn't kill her!!! He's really just so fascinated by her and tries to be sweet by sharing his sippy cup with her or shoving his binki in her mouth or...like the episode we had last night when he threw my cell phone at her head....that one wasn't so sweet. How will she ever survive, I wonder. This past week I have been so exhausted that not once, but TWICE I slept through Addison screaming at the top of her lungs at night. Luckily, my amazing husband got up with her and tried to calm her down and I didn't even flinch...Thanks Dave :). Not my proudest moment has a mom and I'm sure it's a moment my own mom will never let me live down. I am proud to say that I have woken up every night since then. My mom was nice enough to come visit for a week and was such a tremendous help!! It was not only nice to have some help but so fun to hang out with my mom all week. I miss her already and am so grateful for all she did for us while she was here. I don't know what I'd do without you, Mom!! Thanks for everything.

Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks. It seems like I haven't taken nearly as many pictures as I did with Jax. Which explains why I didn't have any baby pictures being the last of 6 kids. :) I really do love having both these kids though. They are the joy of my life and as crazy as it is....I couldn't be happier!!


Doesn't she just looks so chubby and cute??? Aww
Here is Jaxon trying to hold her....he's a good big brother!



Okay, so Jax for some reason loves to still her pink or purple binkis. Something Dave is not very happy about. Jax would definitely loose in this "man test" to Hunter or Cooper :)

You can probably tell that Dave took this pic...:)
This makes me laugh because this is Jaxon's permanent state of being if I'm holding him when Daddy is home....sad, I know. He just loves Dave and I'm learning to deal with it!! Lucky for me, I have another baby that wants me again!!!
This picture is a little blurry but he's just too cute!


My mom and I took this pictures to add to her Christmas card. Since all the other nieces and nephews pictures were taken in the Summer at our sealing.

Also, don't worry about Jax stealing pink and purple binki's. Cooper is the KING of doing that. He takes them right out of Whitney's mouth.

Your kids are adorable!! I also have two, and know how hard it can be. If you ever need someone to talk to, you can talk to me lol.
Kacie Cooper ( I know its been years and years since we've talked)

Your kids are gorgeous! The picture of Jax holding Addison is so precious! Hunter likes to take binkys too...that is especially weird because he never took one as a baby. I love Addison's white dress!

I can't get over how cute your kids are and how tiny Addison looks when Jaxon holds her. :) Just wait, soon you'll be as crazy as me! I hope things are getting back to normal (or that you are getting used to out-of-control being the new normal) and that you're getting some rest. It's hard to have kids! I know you're an awesome mama, though, so I"m sure you'll be well-adjusted and well-rested in no time! :) Merry Christmas. We miss you and love you lots!
