PHEW I chose a name....FINALLY. After going back and forth over what seemed every name out there. I have Decided on Blaire Evelyn for myself. Its actually a pretty big load off. Now that its out there, Dont let me change it. Tomorrow I am deleting my Facebook and starting a new one also. I am pretty excited.
Found this old video of True
Oh my sweet baby, Please stop growing into a little man. Mommy misses her baby.
Rainbow Cupcakes!!
Ok so I love Spearmint Baby, I think it might have turned into an obsession actually. I spend countless hours looking through her nursery posts. I look and look and look trying to come up with the best ideas possible for True and baby #2. So far I think we want to do an old antique plane theme or old baseball theme for Truett. He has this obsession with balls. (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Tennis Balls) He is truly and manly man...Erm...boy. Anyways today I found on another blog that I follow {Made by Girl} that she did a rainbow cupcake post. HOW DID I MISS THIS!!
I dont know how I missed these but I {And you} need to try these. She gives the recipe here. I am so excited to go out and get the supplies so True, Sky, and I can try these for ourselves!
3 years ago today...
Wow little buddy, I cant believe how far we've come. 3 years ago today I was going in to see my sweet handsome little man for the first time. He was stubborn that day and wiggled around so much that the sonographer was unable to see if he was a boy, or a girl yet. He was so mad at her for rubbing the machine against my belly that all he did was kick the probe the entire time. (As seen in the second picture)
I remember being to scared at that moment, Only a month before I had lost his sister Ashlynn. I was on bedrest at the time and just scared out of my mind. No one expects to lose a child in utero (or any time for that matter) and I still wasn't out of the woods yet for him. 3 weeks later on November 26th I went back to get a "gender" sonogram. The days and weeks leading up to this I swore up and down you were a girl. I admit I was a little upset when the lady told me you were a boy.
I cant believe how wrong I was. I am so thankful that you were a boy. Your smile and your personality make me cry sometimes. Your such a sweet and dear little boy. I am so blessed to be able to call myself your Mommy. I knew it would be hard from the beginning, I thank you for never giving up on me. 3 years ago.....Where has it gone. Your such a little man now, You like to do things on your own and it amazes me.
Sometimes I sit and wonder how you will be when you grow up, What ever you decide to be know that Mommy and Daddy love you know matter what. With God leading your life, You cant go wrong. I love you so much squirt.
Whats in a name?
I have seen lately that its "popular" to name your daughters boy names. I dont like it. I find myself wanting to go with an overly boy name if Baby#2 was to possibly come out a little boy instead of a little girl. Right now my name crushes are Ferris Alexander and Weston Bryce. I also love the name Lear for Skylar. He has this amazing love for planes. Lear would be like Lear Jett. I think a handsome MD for Lear would be Lear....(Thinks about it) Augustus, Danler, Alexander.
I have a friend that I went to school with that recently named her son Axton Danler. I have found myself loving the name Danler. Truetts name is Truett Dean and I am having thoughts about if we have another son to give then the same middle name initial. Ferris, Lear, Weston. I think they all would sound well with Danler.
On another note, I am really getting bummed at all the women naming there daughters (Non-unisex) Straight boy names. Henry, Daniel, Ryan, Dylan, Elloit, Brian, today I even heard of Michael. I feel like no boys name is safe. I dont want my son to have to go to school with some other (Ferris for instance) It would take the strong and handsome name i chose and turn it girly. If you wouldnt name your son Rebecca, Rachel, Hannah, Molly, Samantha...So on so forth. Then why would you name your daughter Dylan. When did these names cross the fence and become "okay" to be on girls. To me, There manly names. Ryan literally means "little king" Seriously, that is ALL man to me.

**Edited to apologize**
I apologize to any mother that I might have offended. I was very upset and disgruntled. I just find it hard to keep my sweet boys name masculine if women want to girl it away to girls. I understand that everyone has there own right to name there child whatever they want (Unique spelling included) It is not my right to possibly offend anyone who takes time out of their day to come and visit us here. A negative blog is not one that we stive for here at T&S. We are happy people and I apologize for my hiccup in moods today. With that being said. I am sure that if baby #2 was to come out a boy, We would find a perfect name for him. Atm I am loving the name Lear for Sky since he really loves planes. Thank you again for dealing with my insane behavior. Now follow us :))))
November already?
Is it just me or doesnt it seem like yesterday was Valentines day? I swear time needs to freeze. My little man is growing, growing, growing more every minute. Before I know it, it will be April and it will be his birthday. I cant believe how much has gone on this year. First we turned 2! I remember crying that day when I woke up. I would never say "My sweet True is 1" never again. With the bitter sweet tears came a smile as I thought about all the things you would get to do as a 2 year old. We got potty trained this year. That was so much easier than I thought it would be. You started to talk a whole like more. You developed sentences also. "I dont know" and "Where did it go" are your favorites. I just cant believe how much your little personality has blossomed this year. Looking back I know I still call you my baby, To me you are my little baby. Though I am proud and excited to see what the future holds for you dear sweet child of mine.
Halloween. Woohoo
Here are some pictures of Sky trying to hide from the camera. He used everything but the kitchen sinc to block his face. A baby, A ball, A bag, and a blanket.
"Sky, thats alot of red dots." ....."Yeah, I have bad acne :("
ER visit tomorrow.
Ok so I am one to hide when something is wrong from Sky, He has this evil way of pestering me until I either call the doctor of get aggravated and he gets the point to stop pestering for an hour. Since our miscarriage in very early August some funky things have been going on. I have been switched to 2 different medicines to try to stop the problem. With the problem not ceasing to stop I now have to look at the long term possible issues here.
If you go to WebMD and type in my symptoms you get 4 STDs (Which I have 0 of) 1 preterm labor (Not pregnant) 1 "foreign object" stuck somewhere it shouldnt be (DO you REALLY need WebMD to tell you there is a large object stuck somewhere it shouldnt be??) and 4-5 different cancers.......(this one is what got me)
DO you know what the cure is for any kind of uterine cancer? Well step one is a complete hysterectomy (Remove your uterus and your cervix) I need both of those to have the daughter I have always dreamed about, Hell to have the other child (Boy or Girl) I have always dreamt of. Step 2 (If the cancer remains) is to start chemo/radiation/and hormone treatment.
Tonight in the shower I swear I stood there crying for a good 20 mins. I just couldnt get over the fact that "IF" I was to have cancer then I would never see the sweet face of baby#2. Then I went on to think.........I just had to go to the doctor, I might love my second child to the moon and back before he/she is here but there not the ones that would be affected by the absence of a momma. My sweet boy
Yes that one right there, would be the one who is crushed. I am the one who he clings to when he has a bad dream, The one who dries his tears when someone told him no (Usually me that does that to) I have no doubt in my mind that Sky wouldnt do an amazing job, But I am sure he to would like me here.
So finally I decided to shave my legs and put my big girl panties on, Then I chickened out when I got in the car. (I have a major fear of doctors....any kind of doctor) I also am petrified of having a male doctor (No offense if you are one) I am just a modest girl and you probably don't wanna look at my private areas as much as I don't want you to......
Needless to say, I will let you know (If its not to personal) What it is tomorrow night, For now. I will lay here (since I cant sleep) and troll BBC some more :) Oh and WOOOHOOOOO for my first fan ♥ YAYYYY
Narrowed down?!
So maybe I have narrowed down our girlie list SOME!

I know that I am interested in your thoughts.
Truett Dean
Wow, I cant believe my sweet and innocent tiny bundle is almost 31 months old! WOAH! Am I crazy, Time has gone by so fast. I still remember the helacious labor, the not numb at all C-Section and the no sleep nights. What it would be like to hold my sweet 7 pound 7 ounce baby boy again. To see him smile and be amazed by anything. To see his eyes light up at everything because its all new to him. I am so proud of the little man I have today. My days of "No, Momma" and "Here put Woody's hat back on 1,000,000 times" is so worth it. We recently got to the top of the mountain of potty training, and with a snap he clung to it in just 3 days. He LOVES Toy Story. He has the original Woody doll which he carries EVERYWHERE! From using the potty to sleeping, He would take it in the bath if I allowed him. Yesterday he turned down playing in the play area in the mall (He usually loves this) because he would have to put down Woody while he did. Mommy didnt want him to lose Woody's hat. How cute was that. Needless to say Skylar nor I pushed him to much to go play. I am always afraid that he will catch a cold from there anyways. Skylar always laughs at me because I have this fear of touching public....anything :) Anyways, Looking through pictures and I almost cried :( Will post so everyone can see my handsome tater tot.
Truett Dean 7 pounds 7 ounces, Perfect!!!
Sweet potato waiting to leave the hospital ♥

Sick, Sick Baby
SO today in our house everyone is sick :( Sky was sick a few days ago and True seemed to get it. After waking up at 1am last night and staying up till 4am we are tired too.
He jas been having a stuffy and runny nose the last 2 days, but when he woke up today it seemed so much worse.
He cant breathe without you hearing the difficulty he has. So what does the Jaxon home when their sick? We lounge around in our Pjs and watch Toy Story 1,2 & 3. True is propped up on his Toy Story couch, covered up by his Toy Story blanket, Holding Woody while he watches Toy Story 1. Haha this we have over done it here? I think not.
On a new topis, I have been trying to paint my nails for 2 DAYS now....I know I am a lazy fingernail painer :D It was half done yesterday. I have a thing about my nails having to be perfect. Anyways there finally done!!!! (Done while eating some hot soup, if I might add)
Found stash, Bag, & Potty
So what did mommy find under Truett's bed?
How about 19, yes 19 sippy cups. Sky and I had been wondering where they
had been going to. Guess we know now. 2 are missing here,
Will be doing a "Our fav sippy" post soon :)
Truetts bag, OHHHH we love it. Its the owl themed bag from Skip Hop Zoo.
We love it so much. It fits so much stuff. We take it everywhere,
It fits everything you need for a toddler plus room for a few toys.
We found it at Barnes and Nobels :)
Truetts Potty!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo for finally being potty trained.
We personally thought the 3 day method would work best for us.
1. No undies or diaper at all
2.Time it and every 20 mins place child on potty
3.If they dont want to sit on the potty dont force them, try again in 20 mins.
4.Dont over react when they potty, say good (boy/girl) and act like thats what there supposed to do.
5.NO REPRIMAND!!! Accidents happen most the first day, some the second and almost none the third.
Our Daughter,or Son
So Sky and I have for a long time known that one day we want another child. Call us crazy but we 100% believe in gender selection. I know I know "How dare you!!!"
Thing is, its best for us. We love our son with all of our hearts. We want a little sister for him (eventually) We decided to wait until after our big move in 2013.
