Aw, our little Mazzie!! Sweetest, smartest cookie on the planet!! Although both Mazzie and Jax are learning lots of new words, this girl can sign alot of things!! She knows alot of the basics of baby sign language, such as, Mom, Dad, milk, thirsty, drink, eat, hurt. She also can sign cat, dog, fish, shoes, socks, just to name a few more. Jaxon does well with sign language too, but not as well and as frequent as Makenzie. They both say and sign, so I am hoping they become little geniuses (doesn't every mom hope for that!!).
Makenzie will spend hours putting on shoes, and walking around the house. We have random shoes all over the place. We have broke down to buy dress up shoes, but she wants regular shoes. If she is throwing a tantrum, all I have to say is, "Wanna put shoes on?" And as soon as they are on her little painted toes, she is in the kitchen or entry way to prance around and stomp. It is so cute. We recently went to Henderson to visit my mom and went to the Vans store, where both her and Jax got their first pair of old school Vans, and she absolutely LOVES them!!! 
Jaxon is our screamer!! He wants everything HIS way, or else we hear an ear piercing noise! One of the many reasons we dont do normal everyday things like, take the kids to the grocery store!!! Josh says he will NEVER make me go anywhere with the both of them, cause sometimes I end up leaving in tears! I have a feeling we may be entering into the "terrible twos," and I can say now, I will probably be one stressed out Mama! So, in advance, I apologize if my kids scream at the top of their lungs at the same time while in line somewhere or something...I don't need dirty looks ;-)
A week after I broke my ankle, Josh got in a very scary accident on the freeway. He was sandwiched between two vehicles, and rushed to the ER by ambulance. He had some bruising on his brain, slight memory loss, and double whiplash, but he is doing alot better. He has rehab two to three times per week, and yes, we have hired a great attorney.
I am so thankful that Josh was not injured more. He had some dangerous work equipment in the bed of his truck, one of them being a 3 foot long pin (that gets staked into the ground), that went through his back window and landed at his feet. Not only that, but he was on a two-lane freeway, and his truck spun into both lanes. If only a couple of the circumstances had not been so lucky, he probably wouldn't be here, or would have been critically injured at the very least. It has made our relationship even stronger, Heavenly Father must have known that his family really needed him! We feel very blessed that he is here and doing great.
We found a house in Coral Canyon to rent until we can buy in this area. We have been waiting to find a rental we like out there, and this came along. Though, it has a dirt backyard, we get to design and put our own in as soon as we get there! We are pretty excited about that. And even better?? This house actually has room for our arcade sized air hockey table, YESSS!!! While we live here, we are on the prowl for buying in Coral Canyon. And, it's just a couple exits closer to SUU, so I don't have to wait an extra 10 minutes for Josh to get home from school. Other incentives? Our friends live close, we are within walking distance from the elementary school, we have access to a big indoor gym (with spin classes for me), an indoor pool, and two outdoor pools (with a waterfall you can swim behind)! And neighborhood parks all over the place.
