The Guyser Family: All in a Day's Work

All in a Day's Work

We closed last night on the house, so today we went to work bright and early! Above is the house before Arturo and his boys went to town on it today...

After

Before

After- it was crazy, the neighbors were coming over and saying they hadn't seen the side of the house in 30 years because it was so overgrown.

Before

After

Before

After....Going

Going...

Gone!

In case you were wondering what kept Jaxon busy during all of this, Uncle Brandon surprised him with 25 new Disney Cars and our current neighbor gave him a train table her son had outgrown. That plus "helping" us and he was busy all day long!

What a lucky guy! Not pictured is all the carpet being pulled up, drape removal, cabinet stripping, kitchen demo and general junk being taken out of the house. We are having a birthday party for Jaxon tomorrow morning and then it's back to work for us! There is still lots and lots to be done!

Jaxon's Latest and Greatest (and cutest)

10/8/09

When he was supposed to be napping we could hear him singing "Life is a Highway" (from Cars of course) at the top of his lungs!

10/7/09

My mom: "Jaxon, you're so smart!"

Jaxon: "I know, I know everything!"

10/6/09

"I'm really hungry for a cookie because I've had a long, hard day."

9/26/09

At the toy store:

Jaxon: "Look at all those beautiful cars!"

Me: "Wow!"

Jaxon: "I know, man!"

9/16/09

While Jason and I were talking about Scarlett:

Jaxon: "Stop!!! Stop talking!"

Me: "Why?"

Jaxon: "You can't talk about that!"

Me: "Why, what do you want us to talk about?"

Jaxon: "About me!"

Sounds like we may have a little bit of a jealousy problem already!

9/1/09

Jaxon: "What the heck???"

Me: "What? Who said that?"

Jaxon: "Me!"

Me: "Well, how did you hear that?"

Jaxon: "With my ears!"

Never did figure out where he heard that!

8/15/09

Whenever I ask him to do something he really doesn't want to:

"I wish I could, but I can't!"

7/13/09

"These crackers are tasty!"

While we were snuggling on the couch:

Me: "I love you Jaxie, you're such a good boy."

Jaxon: "Thanks Mama, you're a good friend."

7/7/09

On the way to the aquarium when we had to take a detour:

"Mama, I think we're lost!"

7/2/09

"Is that Jason's car outside?"

"This hot tub is cozy!"

7/1/09

"Mama, let's watch Thomas- it's on demand!"

6/23/09

"Daddy, you can't go to work today, work is closed. Come to Costco with us instead!"

At the ultrasound:

"There's the baby, she's sleeping in her crib."

6/4/09

Counted to ten today, only because he thought I wasn't listening!

"OK Daddy, if you say so!"

"That's what I'm talking about, Jason!"

5/22/09

Some new frequent questions:

"What's the big idea?"

"What's the problem?" (probrum)

"Mama, do you love me?"

And the ever popular

"Why?" and "Where?"

That could go on forever....

5/14/09

While Jaxon was laying on the couch

Jaxon: "Mama, I want my best friend."

Me: "Okay, who's your best friend?" (One of his stuffed animals????)

Jaxon: "Mama, I want you!!!"

Don't worry, it came out that Jason is his best friend too!

5/8/09

This was all while we were playing together at the playground today....

"Mama, can you be my teddy bear?"

"Mama, I want you to be my mommy."

"Mama, are you my special buddy?"

4/23/09

When we were walking into preschool...

Jaxon: Mama, will you play with me at preschool?

Me: Sure! Will you play with me?

Jaxon: Yes!

So then when one of his preschool friends walked through the door...

Jaxon: Hi! This is my friend Macaulay!

I was laughing so hard!!!

We are working on manners, saying please and thank you and here are some of the cute things he has being saying...

"Mama, thanks, thanks for the hug, Mama, thanks."

"Yummy, Mama, you smell yummy."

After nap: "Thanks, Mama, thanks for waking up to get me."

Seeing a picture of the Easter Bunny: "Please bring me the blue Dinoco helicopter (helpipopter), please."

When Jason gets home from work: "Thanks Daddy, Thanks for coming home, it's a special day."

When I was putting him in the car: "Thanks, Mama, Thanks for helping me in my car seat."

"Thank you, Guido, thank you Chick Hicks, thank you for playing with me!"

3/28/09

Whenever I leave the room he has started calling "Macaulay, Macaulay, where are you?" (he says Ma-cow-weeeeeeeeee)

3/27/09

Jaxon: Where's Daddy going?

Jason: I'm going to work, buddy.

Jaxon: Daddy's going to work so he can get money.

Jason: What are we going to do with the money?

Jaxon: Buy MATER!!! (I knew this was probably coming)

Jason: So I better get going?

Jaxon: Yeah, bye!!!

3/13/09

Jaxon was playing with his Mickey hat on the way to Disneyland and he read his name off the back and said"J-A-X-O-N spells Jaxon!" Of course he will never do this when I ask him!
