Happy Halloween!

We decided a while back that a turtle would be the best costume for Jax...that was of course before he started jetting around the house! Halloween for the buddy was pretty uneventful. We spent the day hanging out at the house and watching Daddy at a softball tournament. By the end of the day he was spent but was a good enough sport to give me 10 minutes in his costume for photographic evidence! Watch out next year...we'll be trick-or-treating Skype style! ;)

Jax-O-Lantern

Last year my brother and Becca took the most adorable pumpkin pictures with cousin Elijah...we decided we needed to keep the tradition rolling!

Houston...we have lift off!

Ladies and Gentleman...we are mobile! Jax has been practicing for this day for about a month. He started out getting up on all fours, and then moved to rocking on all fours. Once he turned pro on the rocking he started trying to get somewhere with it. For a couple of frustrating days he was doing very well moving backwards--unfortunately this was Not what he wanted. Over the past weekend (motivated by a cell phone) he began to take a few strides in the right direction and by Monday (his 7 month bday) he'd begun to get the hang of it. Everyday he's getting a little bit faster and is crawling without Mom or Dad motivating him...

Watch Out World...Here Comes Jax!

Bear Creek Pumpkin Patch

Today Jaxon got to visit the Bear Creek Pumpkin Patch with our friends Gannon and Garrett. There were tons of people and even more pumpkins since the weather was beautiful! The boys seemed to enjoy all the sights and sounds and were great sports as we moved them from spot to spot for more pictures, more pictures, MORE pictures! Luckily Jax loves the camera! Happy Fall!!

Daddy's Funny Book

Sunday night Justin got to do Jax' bath time while I ran to the store. This is what I came home to...

seriously the BEST sound ever!!

Pismo camping take 2~

This past weekend our little Simmons crew hit the pavement yet again and headed to our favorite place...Pismo! This time we opted to stay off the sand and had a nice time at our park. Gramz and Bob-o joined us for the weekend. The weather was perfect...sunny, crisp and not much wind. Here are some of the favorite snaps from the weekend!
