Christmas in Blackfoot!

We stayed here for Christmas and went over to Scott's parents house that morning. Grandma and Grandpa got Dax this cool toy story couch that folds out with a sleeping bag and 3D glasses to go with it. Dax thought it was awesome.

They got Rhett this Tonka truck. Dax got one last year. He's put a lot of miles on that thing. Now Rhett can drive right along the side of him. In a year I guess.

Here's Maddex and Dax chillin in front of the T.V. watching the new movies they got for Christmas. It was fun hanging out with family, playing cards and eating good food all day.

Christmas at home!

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. It was fun to have Rhett with us this year. Dax still didn't quite understand the whole idea but once he saw gifts he new it had to be awesome. Dax loves his new train and I think Scott was most excited about Rhetts' new 270. Dax got one his first year and so Rhett just couldn't be left out. I think he was pretty excited about his bear rug too, although he won't get that back until April. In a few words, Christmas was great this year!

RHETT SCOTT POOLE

Rhett Scott Poole born Wed. December 2nd at 7:03 am Weighing in at 7lb 6oz and 19.5 inches long and very healthy.
We went in to the hospital Tuesday night, well I guess Wed. morning at 3:00 after contracting all day long and at 6:30 they took me for a repeat c-section.
I was very anxious this time around, I'm not quite sure why but after he was born all that was replaced with excitement and joy. The only bummer was that Dax was not able to see me for three days with not being aloud in the hospital because of H1N1.I was so excited to get home to Dax. He met me with a big hug that brought tears to my eyes. I missed him so much.
My mom was able to stay with us for a week which was awesome. She was so much help. Now my sister Stacy is here till Sunday, my parents will come pick her up then. I forgot how overwhelming it is to have a new baby but I've really enjoyed this last week, even through the emotional times. I can't believe a week has already gone by.

Here's a picture of our fun little family. What cute boys I have. All three of them.

HAPPY NUMBER 2!

Dax turned two on Monday so we had all of Scott's family out to our house for cake and ice cream. He loved the balloons and the football cake and the many many gifts. He wasn't too sure about everyone singing to him but I think by the end of the night he realized that it was an important and fun day for him. Scott and I enjoyed being with him that day and remembering back two Thanksgivings ago. I can't believe it's gone by so fast. And let me just say that Dax is all boy. He's so fun to be with. Happy Birthday Dax. We love you.

KITCHEN FLOOR!

If you haven't heard our tile drama the short story is that a week after we put it all down in our kitchen and entry way the tiles came loose, they popped and cracked and all the grout chipped away and broke off. I don't have the best pictures of before but you can see in the background how they are all loose and the grout is missing in a lot of areas. A disaster and heartache to say the least. But three years later we have a awesome wood floor. We love it! It's nice to know that I won't have to sweep grout up three times a day anymore and Dax can play trucks on the floor and not have them get stuck on the tile.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING!

Dax helped me make brownies the other night and what kid doesn't get to eat the beaters after helping mom? Dax called it chocolate pudding and loved it.

Not sure what cheese grin he's doing there but pretty cute.

Scott showed Dax himself in the mirror afterwards and Dax totally did the chin drop of "Whoa, what's all over my face?" It's been a week now and he still asks to see the chocolate pudding on his face on the camera and talks about it none stop. Just out of the blue he'll say, "Chocolate pudding, face, mirror, funny."
