Fall

On August 23rd I went in for another laparoscopy surgery to remove endometriosis and cysts. We did the robot this time so the Dr could be able to see and remove more. I was at a stage 3 and the Dr got me down to a stage 1. I decided to go on Lupron shots for a few months to help it to stop growing and hopefully feel better. It was so hard not having Axel home with me for 4 days while I recovered. Thankfully I had my mom, sister and sister in law to help out.

Shane started a new job as a Spanish teacher at Century High School this August and is able to do his student teaching as a teacher this semester. It was an answer to our prayers.

October we did some Halloween fun and went to Gardner Village in Utah and met up with family. Mom, Des, I and the kids stayed in a hotel and went swimming the night before.
We also went to Swore Farms and went through a corn maze, went to the pumpkin patch and let the kids play.
On Halloween Shane and I took Axel trick or treating around town. He was really liking it and got the trick or treat saying down really good and said thank you after he got a candy. He was a pirate this year and he really liked that.

22-27 months old

22 months old Axel loves cars, bikes, to push and pull things, sitting in the car or on the front stairs. He had developed a high pitch scream that's  piercing to the ear when he's mad or wants attention. He is in a hitting phase, he likes to throw rocks, he rolls his eyes and looks away when he is in trouble, he turns his face away when he doesn't want to be talked to like you're not there, he is learning time out. He loves bubbles and jumping in puddles. He loves to talk on the phone to nana, papa and daddy. He calls kitties mowes and cows moos. He hates to have stuff on his hands and face, he says uck when he is dirty. He has changed from saying mama and dada to mommy and daddy (which I love).

23 months he says Akie (we call him Axie) and Akl (Axel), says hold you when he wants to be held and hand when he wants you to go somewhere. He is starting to get more independent and says Akie do, he loves watching pachoo (paw patrol) and mickey, he loves pockils (popsicles) and blowing out candles.

25-26 months he says peese and dank you (please and thank you), uh oh mommy, uh uh no, huh what, yep, oh no, owie, wahoo, ah miss, cycle bikes (motorcycles), daddy home, and he rubs your face or arm and says awe nice. Sque me (excuse me) after he burps, nummy when he likes something.

27 months he is getting better at 4 word sentences and is speaking more clear. He loves to play with blocks and color. He is stating to be scared of everything. He loves nursery and does great every Sunday. He covers his mouth and says oh gosh, he doesn't like to dry his hands after he washes them, he says watch to see him do something, says belly full, bless you after he sneezes, and mommy sleep good when he wakes up in the morning. He is now in his big boy bed and thinks it is pretty cool.

Summer Adventures

The end of June/ beginning of July we got to go to Bear Lake with the Call side. We got to stay in a big cabin/house that was beautiful. We spent time by the lake almost everyday and went boating, rode on jet skis, played in the water and enjoyed each others company. We had wonderful food (like always) and played games. Axel was stuck to mine and Shane's hip and cried whenever someone would look at him or talk to him. The day we had the boat Shane and I both went out on the tube and we both fell off. Axel kept saying over and over, "mommy fall boat" "daddy fall boat."  We had a really good time and got to celebrate the July birthdays.

July 10th our sweet baby boy turned 2! We couldn't ask for a more perfect, healthy, stubborn, sweet little boy. He keeps us on our toes and always makes us laugh.  We are so blessed to be this little miracles parents. We made some cupcakes and spent time with family. He actually liked his cake this year and dove in. We had white cake with cookie dough frosting. He got spoiled like always. We love this kid so much.



The end of July we went to Utah to celebrate Shane's birthday. We went to a bees game, went to the aquarium and spent some time with family. Shane was gone on his actual birthday to high adventure with the young men so Axel and I had a mommy son date and went to a movie.
In August Des and I took the kids to the Downey Fair and watched the elephant show and the kids and I rode on the elephant. It was pretty cool
