Big brother Jaxon




Jaxon was so excited to finally be a big brother and is turning out to be a great one.  Dayne, or as Jaxon calls him Xavie, is so lucky to have him. 
Jaxon loves to pick out just the "right "diaper when it is changing time.  He loves to cuddle and give the baby kisses and hugs.  He is a super hero big brother!

Rock and Roll

Our great friend Ian had our family over for dinner, he made his famous spaghetti, it is so delicious. After dinner the kids decided to have a little dance party. Ian was the DJ and he decided to make the party really fun so he brought out his smoke machine and light disco ball. It was one awesome party!

The Big Brother


Alexander has always been a great big brother to Jaxon. He is so excited to be a big brother again. He loves and adores his baby Dayne Xavier. He knew before all of us that Dayne or as he called him at first "Ted" was coming to be with us. He really does have a special connection with his new baby brother. We named Dayne after his big brother Alexander Dayne. We just never go into the name Ted and thought Dayne was more fitting.
It is amazing to watch his face when he holds the baby. I love to listen to him sing his made up songs to the baby too.
His teachers at school made him a special big brother crown, which he wore while "helping" out around the house.
Jason and I are both so blessed to have Alexander as our oldest son and his brothers are so lucky to have him for a big brother.

Bowling before the Baby






The weekend before baby Dayne was born we took the boys bowling. We had such a great time. The boys had to pick out their outfits and decided on matching "bowling" shirts. They really looked cute and quite professional.
Jaxon had a hard time waiting for his turn, but loved chucking the ball down the lane. After each turn he would put his hands in his pockets and swagger back, he is so cool!
Alexander was more patient and got into trying to hit the most balls. He got his first strike and the ball didn't even touch the bumpers. His last game he scored 110! I was so impressed and so was his Uncle Roe who just happens to be a real professional bowler. He asked if Alex was ready to go on tour with him. Maybe in a couple of years.

Dayne Xavier Fox

Friday the 13th was a perfect day for the Fox family.
I went into labor at 4 am. This was the last picture of my big belly.
Jason thought this was a perfect time for a picture with the best doctor ever, Dr. Michael Draper. And, yes, that is my leg, I am just there enjoying my painful contractions while my cute husband is thinking of good photo opportunities.
Here he is, Dayne Xavier Fox, the first time I held my little boy.
He weighed 6 pounds 4.4 ounces and was 19 inches long.




We are so blessed to have such a healthy beautiful baby boy. We love him so much and look forward to spending our lives with him.

Nani and Momo's






When we were in California we spent an evening with Jason's grandparents Nani and Momo, they are both 90 years old! Alexander and Jaxon were so excited to see their great-grandparents. Jason's Uncle Rick, Aunt Bonnie and cousins Elise and Lauryn were there too. It was so good to see all of them, it had been way too long.
Alexander was so happy to be able to celebrate Shabbat with his Great-Nani. He lights the candles every Friday at school but to do it with family was such a wonderful treat. It was a memory I will cherish.
Jaxon and Uncle Rick had a major wrestling session. Uncle Rick was such a blast to play with. He took the boys down to see the firemen at the beach. They came back with firefighter hats, super cool!
Moe and the boys played loud horns all over the house. It only bothered those of us that could actually hear the loud horns. Momo and the boys loved making the loud "music" and it was really fun to see the boys having such a good time with their great-grandparents. I am so thankful we were able to make the trip and spend time with them. I wish we could do it more often.
