Where does the time go? It feels like summer should just be starting, but instead it ends in about a month and I go back to work! Yeah, I know! CRAZY! Jaxton will be 1 years old before we know it! I'm quite excited to go back to work, but also really nervous. I start in a little less than 2 months! Since I've been on mat.leave the bank decided to get a whole new system, which means I have to learn it all over again. Which isn't such a bad thing. I can start fresh, and it gives me an excuse on not remembering how to do things. Cause let me tell you...I've forgotten a lot!

Jaxton has decided to move on with bigger and better things lately. Like climbing the stairs, attempting to climb onto the couch, dancing, talking baby gibberish ALL the time, singing, and walking along objects. Brandon and I also taught him in one day how to drink from a straw, and now he drinks from his cup whenever he can get his hands on it. We've gone swimming a bit this summer and he loves it! Jax and I went down to Lake Five with my family for a few days, sadly Brandon had to stay home and work, but we had fun. Jaxton got to cruise in the kayak with Papa and myself. Jax kept trying to lean over to touch the water. He could swim all day if I'd let him. He is growing so fast and I can not decided if I like it or not. Of course it's exciting, but makes me sad that the time has gone by so quickly. Jax has already developed such a cute personality. He reminds me of Brandon in so many ways, but I also a little bit of myself. He is a little over 9 months now, and it feels like he was born yesterday!

Brandon has been doing nothing but work, work, work and a lot of paperwork. It sucks, but such is life right? Got to make a living somehow. Everything in this world cost money, and I appreciate every minute Brandon spends working so our family can afford to have things and live comfortably. He is dedicated, and such a hard worker. I love that about him!

The Cardston parade/rodeo, etc is this weekend so I'm hoping to remember to take pictures and have a fun time!!
