Jaxon 2010: Hurray for a New Year!

We started celebrating 2010 a little early by taking a trip to Utah. Me, Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa went to stay in the condo on the 29th, and Daddy came up on the 31st after work. Mom and Grandpa were going to take the Matching Ties to their first bridal fair, and we were all going to enjoy some fun in the snow! It had snowed all day the day we arrived, and it snowed all the next day as well. It was cold, cold, cold, but I didn't mind at all because I was SO EXCITED ABOUT THE SNOW! The day after we got there, Grandpa took mom and I to a few stores, and when we were through I was outfitted head to two for some serious snow fun. I got a new hat, snowsuit, gloves, and boots. I then played outside for at least 2 hours everyday, building snow forts, sledding, making snow angels, throwing snowballs, and just HAVING FUN! After our 5th day there (we had two days left) most of the snow had melted except for the giant filthy snow piles in the parking lots that the snowplows had made. I couldn't have cared less that it was dirty and full of salt and black dirt! I put on my snow gear, brought out a giant kitchen spoon, climbed to the top, and just dug and dug. I would occasionally stand up and yell, "I'm the king of the mountain!!!"

While we were there I also got to see my cousin Logan two times. We get along great, and mostly disappear together the whole time. We play toys and guns, and occasionally bug Cousin Ashley. We are both full of energy and love to just play play play!

When it was time for us to leave Utah I was pretty heartbroken to leave the snow. I kept telling Mom that I was pretty sure that Heavenly Father would make it snow in Mesa for me...and after disagreeing several times where I would end up in tears, Mom finally gave up and just said, "We'll see!"

Just one more cute thing- on the plane ride there and back, I asked the stewardess for my peanuts both time and explained that I am allergic, but I wanted to save them for my dad. Sure enough, when Dad got to Utah, I got them out and was so proud of myself. I love LOVE love dad right now, and always tell him that he is my best friend. Anything I get that I like, I will always save to share with dad. I am getting so big, mom and dad can hardly believe it
