If you want something cleaned...

...just leave Keisha alone in a room...she has spent most of this rainy day cleaning, when I say cleaning I mean Keisha's way of cleaning, more like organizing. She picked up all of Jaxon's toys in the livingroom, picked up any blankets or cloths laying around in the livingroom and diningroom (just don't ask me where she put them?) I just watched her take a dishcloth from the counter and hang it on the oven door, which is something her father does..ha ha..what a kid! Now if only I could get her to wash dishes!

Supper time rolls around and Keisha sees some squash on the counter that I made for Jaxon, and I'm sure she thinks it's sweet potato something she's been eating everyday this week like it's going out of style, and decides she's hungry and taps on the pan..of course I tell her ask me using her book (knowing that there is no picture for squash or sweet potato) wanting to see how she'll ask for this...she comes back with a picture for carrots..haha..so I gave her carrots and squash and some turkey and she ate it all :) Like I said...what a kid <3

Jaxon is the cookie monster around here, he loves his cookies! He makes the biggest mess I have ever seen...I mean you haven't seen a mess until you've had kids! There isn't too many foods he will refuse either..so much like his dad. He's getting around too, just not when I'm watching, he will wait until I leave the room I come back and he's on the other side of the room! All I ever see him do is get on his hands and knees! I swear he likes to tease me :) Just like saying "dadadada" first..ha ha well now all he says is "mamama" and "mom" not dadada anymore..I am sure my fascination with this is going to fade quickly and I will be wishing he was calling for "dada" again instead of me..

I love my family, I adore these kids!

There is a first time for everything :)

Well here I am doing a blog site...who knew? Ha ha..I thought this would be a good idea to keep up with Keisha and Jaxon and all the things they shock me with everyday.  As well as letting everyone that is afar get to know Keisha and Jaxon.

So here they are my beautiful step-daughter and my handsome son

Keisha is 7 and Jaxon is about 3 months in this picture.

Now a little update from our lives:

Jaxon was born on December 27th 2010 at 2:39am, so he was 3 days late, but still small weighing 6lbs 14oz. Keisha was a little overwhelmed at first and cried every time he cried, which wasn't very often thankfully.

Allen proposed to me on Valentines day this year and I of course said yes :) not sure when the wedding will be yet, we need to get settled first.

We moved from our 2 bedroom apartment in Halifax to a beautiful 3 bedroom house in Centreville (an hour away) closer to my family. So far Allen and I are both in love with this place, and I know I am feeling more relaxed living in the valley again.

Keisha is set to attend school at Glooscap Elementary going into grade 2 in September. She has met the principal and her teacher, and has a tour of the school. They are very excited to have her, just as her previous school was sad to see her leave.

Allen has a new job doing construction and he is loving it :)
