Day at the Park

My family and I decided to go to West Point Park Saturday to hang out. My older sister Amanda and her husband Jason just got back from Grenada. They've been living out there for about 2 years now. Jason has been going to school out there. How nice would it be to go to school in the Caribbean?! Anyway, they got back on Friday so we all wanted to get together. Amanda and her family met Jaxson for the first time yesterday and it was so cute. We all had a great time playing and hanging out at the park. Here are some pictures:


Jaxson, Mom and Nana. So cute!

Nana's Boy!

Little Rori and her daddy... Make that Crazy Hair Daddy lol. Sorry Jas I had to say something lol

Poor Dyson hurt his foot while playing in the sandbox. He's not a happy kid here.

This is Ridgedon when told to have a "serious" face lol

Jaxson is really living up to that bib huh... lol

You are getting sleepy......

We had fun until there was a little accident with Ridge and the slide. He climbed up to go down but got too scared and tried to climb back down but fell off and landed face first in the sand. It was pretty scary and very sad. Mom and Dad decided to take him to the doctor to make sure he was ok so that kind of ended our day at the park but I'm sure there will plenty more during the summer. We had so much fun I can't wait to do it again! PS: Sorry to Danielle and her family... you guys left before I got my camera out!

Jaxson Rolled Over!!

Jaxson rolled over for the first time today!! Well, technically he did it yesterday too but I don't count that because he did it while he was in his crib and I didn't see it happen, but today Jaxson was laying on his belly on the floor and totally rolled over onto his back. I was cheering and being a retarded mom and Jaxson looked at me like I was nuts but I didn't care. My boy is getting so big and strong! He's finally able to hold up his head good enough for me to put him in the Snugli facing away from me. I had him like that for a while today and he ended up falling asleep in it. I snapped a quick picture of it too.

You can't really tell in this picture but he's in the Snugli lol. Anyway, I had a really good day playing with Jaxson and hanging out with Mike. I also cut my hair today. I cut myself some bangs again and trimmed the rest of it. I know you guys probably don't care but oh well, it's my blog and I can write what I want so THERE! Well that's really all I have to write about right now... my life isn't all that exciting to other people lol. Peace out!

Thanks Grandma!

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?? :)

Checkin' out the view!

Here's Jaxson sitting in the stroller Grandma Colletti bought for him. He's getting so big!

I Heart 3-Day Weekends

Is it just me or does Jaxson look like he has brown eyes now? Dang, I was really hoping he would have blue eyes like me. Brown eyes look cute on him too though. Well this last weekend was really fun. I had work off for the holiday and so did Mike since the market was closed. Mike and I had a BBQ on Saturday and we were going to go swimming but it just didn't get warm enough and on top of that it was a little windy. Sunday night we went over to our neighbor's house to hang out and sit outside around their fire pit. Monday Mike played basketball and Jax and I stayed at the house and played all day. I loved spending so much time with him. I like to think he liked it too.

My sister comes home this week from Grenada for good. I'm so excited to see her and her family. She left last November before Thanksgiving and I haven't seen her in person since. Her little girl was only like 3 weeks old when she left too. I know Amanda is excited to see Jaxson. She's one of the reasons I post so many random pictures of Jaxson. Professional pictures are really fun but I think it's the random pictures all the time that really capture what your kids look like.

Things are going well with Mike's new job. He has been working/interning with his dad for a little over a month now and things are really looking good. His dad owns a few different online businesses that he pays other people to run. Since Mike is interning and everything with his dad he will probably be taking over one of his sites and possibly starting his own. It's all really exciting. I know Mike's dad has always wanted his sons to be in the same profession and Mike seems to really enjoy it. He's actually expressing interest in going back to school. Finally! lol I've been trying to talk him into going back to school for a while now. In his defense he didn't really have the time before with his work schedule. All in all we feel pretty good about this new job and I'm excited to see how it all works out. I'm sure I'll write more about it as it happens.

So I have this friend that I absolutely love to death. She's hilarious. She just had her first baby, a little girl named Liliana, a week after I had Jaxson (we joke that they're gonna get married lol). Well this awesome friend of mine is moving out of state next week. She's so excited. She's always wanted to get out of Utah and live somewhere warmer. Well Dawn, I know you're excited to move and as happy as I am for you, I still hate you lol. I know this was the "plan" all along but since when do our plans work out anyway?! Just know I will miss you and your cute family and I'll always be hoping that something either brings you back to UT or takes me to VA.

That's all for now, bye!

Here's my random picture of Jaxson for today. Most of you probably don't really care to see what Jaxson looks like every day but it's your own fault for looking at my blog!

Jaxson pulls this face all the time. It's his "uncomfortable" face. He's probably about the spit up or something... he's a freaking pro at that.



I personally like this picture. It makes me laugh. It looks like Jaxson is yelling at Mike. I love the look on Mike's face like, "go ahead, keep crying." Mike has a habit of taunting Jaxson lol. It's actually quite amusing. When Jaxson is fussy and tired and just crying to make noise to stay awake Mike will outcry him lol. He cries louder and says things like, "See I can do that too. Waaa Waaa Waaa." It's hilarious to see him fighting with a baby lol. I love my boys. They're so fun.
Mike and I are planning to go to the zoo this weekend with Jaxson and probably the park too. We want to make good use of our 3 day weekend together. It's practically summer and I'm so excited!

Jaxson and Uncle Matthew

Here's a pic of my cute little Jaxson. He was hanging out with his uncle Matthew and Mike got him to start cooing and talking to him so he snapped a quick picture for me. I love all the random pictures Mike takes of him every day. It helps me document his life and everything that goes on. I don't have time for scrapbooking or anything like that. All I have time for is blogging but hopefully I can use all these posts to create his baby book later.

Random Alert: I bit the inside of my cheek during dinner last night and now it's all swollen it sticks out and every time I chew anything else I bite it again. I hate that!

FYI this Saturday Mike and I are having a bbq pool party at our house. All our friends and family are invited so let me know if you're coming. That's all for now. Peace!

The Pink Bullet

Here are some random pictures of the guys. Jaxson makes the funniest faces he totally cracks me up. Mike is probably jealous that Jax and I can do "The Rock" eyebrow and he can't lol.

Mike is probably sick of getting his picture taken. I'm totally one of those moms that won't leave their kids alone. Jax is gonna hate me! lol

So things are going good for the Colletti family. Mike and I have been spending a lot of time together and I love it. We have been trying to have a date night every week or every other week so we can stay close and have time just the two of us. Jaxson has been doing well. He is just getting so big. He's looking older now too. He definitely doesn't have that newborn look anymore.

Mike's parents have started some major renovations on their home and we're pretty excited. They are completely re-doing their kitchen and two bathrooms, painting almost the whole house and getting new carpet. They have already finished painting and have ripped out the kitchen and one bathroom. It's going to look amazing when they're done with it. I think they have a secret plot to make their house really cool so we'll come over all the time and they can see Jaxson lol. Mike's parents can't get enough of the little guy. Mike and I were worried at first how things would go but they have ended up better than we hoped for.

So remember my adorable pink scooter? Here are some pics. The first one is when a coworker played a joke and put my scooter in his truck and parked in it's parking space then put "Never never drive a pink scooter to work" on the side of his truck. It was pretty hilarious!

This is just a better picture of my scooter "The Pink Bullet." My friend at work Alan Haacke named it that for me lol.
Well the reason I brought it up is because Mike and I took the scooter down to a shop in SL this last weekend to get fixed. We dropped it off Saturday so hopefully they'll have some news by tomorrow. I'm really hoping they can get it fixed easily. I miss riding it especially now that the weather is nice. As soon as that's fixed I won't have to drop Mike off in the mornings before work and maybe he'll occasionally be able to come see me for my lunch break.

Well that's all for now. See ya!

Random Update

Ok well I'm sick of asking people of they read my blog or whatever so I've added some of you to my email list so every time I post something you will get an email letting you know. If you don't want to get these emails let me know and I will think about whether or not to take you off... I might leave you on there just to bug you! lol And if you don't get any emails from me but you would like to let me know.

Ok so now that I have that out if the way time to talk about my guys! Mike is awesome and he takes random pictures of Jaxson throughout the day and emails them to me so I can feel like I'm not so far away. Here are a couple he took this morning. Jaxson is making some funny faces but that's part of the fun of having kids! Most of Jaxson's faces are funny looking... no offense little guy!

So there's my little update for today.

Not Shots!!

Jaxson had his doctor's appointment Monday and he's weighing in at just under 12 lbs and 23 inches long. The doctor said he's healthy and doing great. Poor kid had to get his shots though... I suck at being there when they make him cry. I HATE hearing him like that and knowing he doesn't understand why it hurts or who hurt him or when it will stop. He did good at the doctor's office but that night he wasn't doing so well. He didn't sleep well and the next day he had a little bit of a fever so I called work and let them know that I was going to stay home with him. He's doing much better now. He slept better last night and his fever is gone. Good thing he has 2 whole months before he has to go through that again.

Mike and Jaxson are hanging out more and more now since Mike watches him while he works. I'm jealous that Mike gets to be home with him all day but with the schedule I'm working I get home around 330 and still have plenty of time to hang out with him before he goes to bed. Mike has learned all these funny things that Jaxson likes and does. He has discovered Jaxson's love of being naked lol. If he's fussy or grouchy at all, all we have to do is take his diaper off and let him lay there for a minute and he's totally chill. Typical guy huh!

Well all in all things are going good for the Colletti family. I'll post pictures when I have them.
Peace!

Mother's Day

Jaxson's Mother's Day outfit :)

This year was my very first Mother's Day as a mom. I don't want to be too cheesy but how could I not post about how great it is to be a mom? I love almost every moment of it and it's mostly thanks to Jaxson being such a good baby. This awesome kid has been sleeping through the night for almost a month now. He's the cutest thing I have ever seen and he gets cuter every day. He's mostly even tempered except when he gets tired and doesn't want to sleep. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. He's everything I could have asked for in a child and more. Jaxson already has so much personality and the older he gets the more he is like his dad. I'm so proud of him and I'm so lucky to be his mom.

For Mother's Day we went to see the grandparents and gave Grandma and Nana personalized cards and lots of family pictures. I hope they liked them!

When we got back to the house Mike gave me my Mother's Day gift from Jaxson which was a black and pink baseball glove. Mike said it was so I could practice so I wouldn't look foolish when Jaxson wanted to play catch (haha!). Anyone who knows me knows how much I love sports and how good I am at them... yeah I think I'll need the next couple of years to practice lol.

Open For Comment....

Mike's brother Matt....

What A Cutie!

Jaxson Riding Grandma's dog Zoe

Mike took this picture this morning while I was at work. Isn't he cute?!

Going Through Withdrawals

Here's another picture of Jax that I thought was cute. His expression crack me up. Ugh I miss him! I have officially returned to the office. I left my baby for the first time today and I'm going crazy from withdrawals. Since Mike works at his dad's house he takes Jaxson with him and watches him during the day. I'm glad they two of them can spend time together and everything but I'm also SO JEALOUS he gets to be with him all day. I'm hoping to change my schedule to four 10's soon though... we'll see.
In other news Jaxson is huge. We went to his girlfriend (lol) Liliana's blessing yesterday and we compared babies. Jaxson is definitely built like a boy. Liliana is so little compared to him. He's just solid. He has his 2 month appt next week so we will find out how much he weighs now. He has caught up to his cousin Bethany who is 6 weeks older than he is. I'm glad he's built like his dad and not me lol. He's getting so big! He doesn't look like a newborn anymore. He has filled out in his arms and legs and is even sporting some fat rolls on his legs that are just adorable. He has started smiling a lot more and it's my goal to get him to laugh soon. He laughed once while I was holding him but that doesn't count because he was sleeping. I can't believe he'll be 2 months old on Mother's Day. Time has gone by so fast. It's fun to watch him grow up though. He's awake a lot more and has started trying to talk... at least I assume that's what he's doing. His mouth and tongue move a lot but sound only comes out like half the time lol. I still call it talking. One of his favorite things to do now is stand up or jump (with me holding him of course). His legs are getting so strong but his arms aren't so I joke that he'll be walking before he crawls. I'm kind of excited for him to start crawling and walking just to see how he interacts with the dogs. I think Cena is gonna love it when Jaxson is mobile. He needs someone to chase him around since Kronk is grouchy like an old man and won't play with him anymore. Cena just loves Jaxson. We make sure Jaxson interacts with both dogs so neither are scared of the other. Cena loves to lick Jaxson's face and I'm constantly telling him "that's enough" even though the dog doesn't listen to a dang thing I say. Jaxson just better get used to having Cena all up in his business all the time and if any of you have been to my house and met Cena, you know what I'm talking about.
Well that's all I have for now. Peace!

Here's my adorable little guy! Crystal also took these pictures on family picture day.

I love this picture. The blanket he's laying on is the blanket his great grandma got for him when we were in New Mexico. The rattle lying in front of him was a hand-made gift from his uncle Jared.

Cute baby bottom alert! He has a wrinkly bum hahaha! Love it!

I love this little guy so much. He just gets cuter every day.
