Jaxon's One!

One year ago today, we became parents! To celebrate Jaxon's first birthday, I thought I'd fill his day with activities he loves the most. So we went to the library where he pulled book after book off the shelves, went on walk, swam at the pool, and of course, ate his favorite food- pasta! His birthday cake was an angel food cupcake with whipped topping and strawberries. After just staring at it for a while, he finally picked it up and shoved it in his mouth. He ate the whole thing, and would've eaten more if we had let him.

Playing with his new car...Jaxon looks on. ;)

There we go.

We are so grateful for Jaxon and the love and joy he brings to our family.

In Honor of the Olympics

To celebrate the Olympics and our summer in Wisconsin drawing to a close, we went canoeing at Governor Dodge State Park. We've been wanting to go canoeing all summer, so we finally up and went. I was a little worried with how Jaxon would do, but he did great! He especially loved it when Travis would rock the canoe side to side.

We didn't want to risk bringing our camera in the canoe with us, but you'll just have to take our word for it that it was a beautiful trip around the lake. We saw cranes, lots of fish, thick forests, rocky cliffs, and sandy beaches. Not to mention the weather's been in the 70s, which has been a nice break for us!

Hyde's Mill

Yesterday, we took a nice scenic drive to Hyde's Mill. It was such a pretty site nestled in trees and corn fields. :) We're really going to miss the beauty of this state. Enjoy the pictures!

Time to go home!
