Jax is 5!


Jax turned 5 this January. It is still so hard to believe that he is 5!! He has lost one tooth, and has another one loose. I was an emotional wreck about it. I just remember that sweet little tooth coming in, and now it's gone! He is still in school at NWCC in the 3-4K program. He can write all of his letters (although he still gets confused on the M, N, W at times). He is a perfectionist. If he messes up on a letter, he wants an entire new sheet of paper. This is true with coloring too. He is still a huge fan of boxing, Rocky Balboa, Hulk Hogan, and any superhero. Any movie that we turn on, he will ask his dad "Who's the toughest?" If there aren't any tough guys, you can forget him wanting to watch it. In addition to being older, he just feels bigger. It's so funny to hug him now and feel how thick he is! He is a tough little guy and can hold his own with even the bigger kids at church. He's super protective of his brothers, and is absolutely precious with Gunnar. I cannot believe he will be in kindergarten this year!

We took Jax to the bowling alley for his birthday. We will save the party for the summer again! :) Jax and Nathan were having serious chats about tough guys here!
Nathan, Ronin, and Jax
The boys love bowling!!



Goodbye tooth!

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
