So much fun, so little time!

I am a routine mom.  I don't necessarily have a strict schedule, but routine is important.  It keeps Jax's (and my) expectations in check and keeps us (relatively) organized.  That being said, I feel like I have limited time every day.  Between meals and nap time I feel like I run out of time to have fun!  It's amazing how Jax still shows me how to have fun any minute of any given day. 
Here are some of his latest precious moments:

Jax got to spend good time swimming with Grandpa while I was (having an awesome time) at Pestinger cousin's weekend in Colorado 

 He also had a pretty great time this summer with the Graeve's.  We're so glad to have them close!

A friend, Jack, spend some summer days with them and Jax loved getting to hang out with Jack!

Peek-a-boo Katie!

Birthday cake!  Mmmm!  Katie got white, and Jax got chocolate so they could share.

He was so cute trying to be patient and wait his turn with the new Buzz dolls!  They are so cool!

We've also made plenty of fun on our own!  Nana got us a backyard pool big enough for us all to fit in! 

We went to the park to play in the mornings - such a beautiful park!  And Jax LOVES the swings!

...he still falls asleep in them.  Just like he did when he was tiny.

From what I hear Jax takes a pretty picture - but we like to be silly with the camera, too.  

Lately he's been climbing into or sitting on anything he can get to.  

 

 (family movie night - I was the couch, apparently) 

Jax LOVES Blue, and she tolerates him well, too.  He'll spend as much time as he can with her

 

 

We also went to root on Brian at his sand volleyball game one night.  Turns out Jax isn't too big of a fan of sand, but he did stand on the table and coach for quite a while! 

 We went to the balloon festival for the first time this year.  He loved seeing all of the balloons!  We'll definitely go check it out next year!

 And sometimes we take pictures for no reason - other than to remember these days, because they are passing so quickly.

notice the belt-loop-milk-holster.  He thought that was pretty cool

Here are a few videos that make me smile.

And finally, he's ready to cheer on the KSU Wildcats this football season!  Go Wildcats!
