Family Pics...

I feel bad...Our friend Ashley took these...like two months ago, and I still haven't posted them!! What a slacker. Anyway, I just LOVE the way they turned out. Ashley did such an amazing job! And she's cheap!
Jaxson was just mauling me with kisses...oh it was SO fun, he was so happy, but would not sit still for pictures. I'm fine with it though because we got some fabulous action shots!!



Blowing kisses to the camera! (aren't my boys handsome??)

This is one of my favorites...
Jaxson is just grooming daddy's scalp! haha he's such a monkey!

"One, Two....THREE!"

Jaxson's hands are placed perfectly in this one...we didn't even touch him, he did it on his own. I love it!!

Daddy's showing Jaxson how to fish!!
This could be an engagement picture...hehe, I just think it's funny
Playing in the leaves!! We had SO much fun



I lost my camera's battery charger, and so if anyone from the christmas party or thanksgiving will post some pics for me so I can have them...I would LOVE that!
Hope you all had a great Holiday!! We sure did!!

Thanksgiving 2009

John, Me, Jaxson, Amy.
We sure had a fabulous Thanksgiving at the Hatches house. It was sure fun to get together with what family could come. I ate WAY too much, and gained poundages I'm sure.
Mom slaving away in the kitchen! Thanks to all those who cooked, Linda, Brinda, Kaye, and Mom!! It was DELICSH!!
Grandma Kaye, and Brinda
Linda and Chris! Thanks for having it at your house.
The kids all had SO much fun on the tramp.
Gaming! Ticket to Ride, our new favorite game
We played Nerts for hours on end the whole weekend. John and Nate LOVE this game, but we decided that we need caffeine to stay at the top of our game. haha.
The kids were wasted after playing so hard and eating so much!
We ended up staying up too late playing games and getting up earlyearly to shop at best buy and other places, and not even getting what we wanted. Black Friday is SO not worth it. I decided that a long time ago but I must have forgotten it. haha. I was dead tired for two days after. It was such a great weekend though.

Long time no BLOG

call me a SLACKER, or whatever you'd like...
I'm back to blogging though, well, I'm going to try at least.
my good excuses...
School (18 credits, nate has 16)
Volleyball Season ( I officiated this season, that took a lot of hours)
Taking care of Jaxson (he's a handful and certainly in the terrible twos)
I'm really lazy and love watching TV to un-wind instead of BLogging ;)

Halloween...My Knight in Shining Armor!

We put on his costume SOO many times to help him get used to it, but never ever liked putting it on. Well when we put it on right before we went trick or treating, he actually wore it!! Isn't he handsome?? I LOVE my little knight in shining armor! Well, i love both my big knight and little knight. He had a lot of fun playing with the sword doing his "Hai-YA!" noises like spongebob does.

Nate was a good sport and wore this king hat, we were trying to find a Dragon head hat last minute so jaxson could slay daddy, but that didn't work out. I was the princess of course!

Shining Armor...
This is Jaxson and Connor, it's kim's best friends boy that we went with last minute to a trunk or treat at the washington rec center. They've become good friends in one night!
Halloween was fun this year, we're glad we got to spend it in St. George with family and get away from the cold in Cedar City. I'm SO relieved that Jaxson wore his costume, I thought it wouldn't even stay on for a picture...we got lucky.

All BOY!

Jaxson is ALL BOY! At grandma's house there is this fun doll house... as you can see, there are trailers and cars in it now.This is what used to fill the doll house! Cracks me up.

Amy is Home! Yay!

Amy is finally home!! Yay! She probably won't be home for long, but at least we get to be with her for a little while. This is in Las Vegas when her boyfriend James from London came for his 30th birthday. Happy Birthday James!

Enter for a chance to win a trip to Disneyland!

Take a Hike...

Our fun trip to panguitch. I just didn't feel like our summer would be complete without a hike, Thanks Brinda and John for taking us on a fabulous one, it was short so the kids could all go, and there was a river so we could play in it at the end. It was just perfect. This is up by Bryce Canyon.Sean was such a good helper, he pushed Jaxson almost the whole way. Kaity is in the back, with Brinda, Sean and Jaden in the front.
A beautiful arch, I have no idea if there is a name..

Isn't he beautiful??
Having fun in the sun...
Candid moment.
Mossy Cave, you can't tell that well, but it was pretty mossy.
the waterfall that Jaxson kept trying to walk down to...ahh.

This is my favorite view of those two...SO CUTE!
Jaxson kept trying to get in more than just wading, he eventually got his clothes soaked and cried forever because it was so cold, but then he had a good time playing, trying to drink the water.
This is a cute photo i think.

Our little adventurer...

On sunday we celebrated my brother Johns birthday, 33 can you believe it?? He even made his own cake, and it was fabulous, thanks!
making a wish that he won't grow older I'm sure...hahajk.
My bro and me. what a cute smile john!
We had a lot of fun in panguitch and wish we could go more often!! We love playing games with John and Brinda, and their kids are so fun to play with Jaxson.
