Jay's Wedding

My little brother got married on March 11, 2011 to Hayley Golightly. We had such a fun time in Vegas with them for their special day. It will be fun having Hayley in our family. Congrats to Jay and Hayley.

Oh what fun... Jaxton is ONE!!!

It's almost hard to believe my sweet little boy is a legitimate toddler now! Where did the past year go?? His birthday was on a Thursday and unfortunately I had to work... but we took him to McDonalds and got him his very first Happy Meal. Kyle has been talking about getting his little boy a Happy Meal since we found out we were pregnant. It was great to witness Kyle become so excited watching Jaxton. Jax wasn't sure he really liked it, at first... but that didn't last long. Before we knew it he had chicken McNuggetts in both hands and was shoving them in his mouth as fast as he could!

We didn't do much for Jaxton's birthday. We had our friends and family over. I had bought a fun cake pan for his cake, a monkey, since we call him our little monkey and I think Jaxton was more interested in the frosting than the actual cake. It turned into a total mess and a lot to clean up, but was so much fun!!

It has been an amazing year with this little guy! We are so happy you joined our family Jaxton! We love you!

Baby Baby Baby

I have lots and lots to catch up on, but we had some baby drama come up. The dr assured us it is nothing to worry about and he will continue to monitor it very closely. We went in for an ultrasound on Feb 28, and they determined that the baby is a GIRL!! That is so exciting for the LaPratt family. 5 grandkids and none were girls... until now. So we go in for my monthly appointment this week and Dr Allen (the same dr who was so incredibly GREAT with Jax) tells us he is ordering another ultrasound because the baby was not measuring correctly. She is measuring too small. Seriously, who would have guessed with how big I am right now (Jaxton's pregnancy was much easier to hide than this one!!) But on a happier note, it's always good to get a second look at a baby girl to determine that she is, in fact, a girl.
