We sure had a great party last night, Heather & Rydel and the kids came from Enterprise, Hollie & Ben were able to make it with their kids as well. The kids all dressed up and we had a costume contest. We had yummy food and then sang to Jaxson. Kim, my little sister made the adorable monkey cake. Everyone got a swing at the pinata, then we opened gifts. Jaxson was tired and probably overwhelmed by the new place and all the people. So it wasn't the best day in the world, especially since we had to switch locations at the last minute! But we made it through and it was a success. We wished more of the cousins could be there, and can't wait til Thanksgiving when they will all be together!! It's crazy how fast time flies. Our little guy is One!! It seems just like yesterday that we had him, and had to be away from him in the hospital for a couple of weeks. How lucky we are to have him healthy and strong and here with us today!! We love our Jaxson Boo!!

HUGE scare
So quick story of our day in wal mart. Nate was on his way back from school and I told him to come meet me at wal mart because I was getting some pictures for birthday announcements. I had Jaxson with me of course, and I just put him in a cart by me so I wouldn't have to hold him and figure out the Kodak picture machine while Jaxson potentially touched the screen along with me. Well I was pretty focused on what I was doing, and then I looked over while I had a break, and Jaxson was not in the cart. My heart started pounding a million beats per min, and I started looking frantically in all the aisles. Then after I ran down couple aisles, Nate saw me and started laughing, with Jaxson in his arms....K, Nate is the sneakiest man alive because I did not hear a thing, from the unbuckling of the seatbelt, the noises Jaxson usually makes when he sees daddy, to the lifting him out of the shopping cart. I wanted to cry because I was so scared and Nate was laughing his head off, and Jaxson of course had the look on his face "Who are these weird people". But honestly it taught me a good lesson, and my oh my how grateful I was that it was only Nate and not someone else. Here is a website that is dedicated to children abduction and how to avoid it. Read, and learn, and hopefully avoid the situation that could have happened to me. http://www.amberwatchfoundation.org
Lots to update!
Our big news is that Jaxson is now walking!! He actually took his first steps a couple weeks ago and now is walking like a pro! It was so funny because the day he decided to walk, it was totally random. He hadn't taken any steps up until that point, then decided to run around the room all night. It was hilarious. I was so excited, and we got some video (that I'll figure out and post later), and everytime he fell we cheered for him and he clapped for himself. He's the cutest kid. Our other big news is that he is turning one this friday! It's crazy how fast time flies. We went up in American Fork Canyon a week ago and took some gorgeous pictures, and we'll call it good as his one year pics. 
Grandma and Grandpa, Juel Moody and Jaxson having a good time. And here's a sneak peak of his halloween costume. We are having a halloween costume birthday party for Jaxson, so all the cousins who can make it will dress up too. Hope its fun, and anyone who wants to dress their kids up and come...please let me know and I will get you the information!
Our little Monkey (who LOVES bananas too!)
Our trip up north a week ago was very fun. We were able to go to Jaxson's little cousins birthday party. It was a blast, and these two are so so adorable. We know Jaxson and them are going to be such good buds.
Before and after pics of the cake mess, how cute are they??
This pic cracks me up, because Anna started bonking Jaxson on the head, and he started to cry. (I'm sure there were more reasons to cry then just that) but I'm sure these girls will tease him later in life, and all his friends will too if they find out he was getting beat up by a girl!
Well our little terrorizer decided to pull everything out of the cupboards and climb in, I'm not going to lie, it was funny. But does anyone have any suggestions on how to teach kids that pulling stuff out of the cupboards is bad, but teach them effectively??? help.
Nate's favorite thing to do on a piano is make up beautiful music, and Jaxson decided to come make up his own too. Like father like son huh.
Well several weeks ago we had the opportunity to go to the Deseret Book's Time Out For Women conference. It was such a fun idea to get all the Holt girls together to go. We were missing Sherri and Mindy a ton, and hope we can get everyone to do it next year in St. George! We heard from Hillary Weeks, a christian song-writer, who was fabulous and I want all her CDs. We heard several talks from different authors and specialists on certain topics. The theme was finding Joy, so I felt pretty good after I left. Eva and Anna got to come too!
The girls at Cheesecake factory!
