Jaxon took his first airplane ride on September 2nd. We took a family trip to San Diego for 5 days. We left on the 2nd, which also was our 11th Wedding Anniversary. Jaxon did fabulous on the plane, nothing really phased him, he thought it was cool, but he wasn't too overly impressed. Just relaxed, colored, enjoyed the snacks and watched a few movies on his dvd player. He was great!</div>

Jaxon took swimming lessons this year in August for the 1st time. His took lessons at the Spokane County Pool near Hatch Road and 395. His teacher's name was Iris and he was in the preschool class, the first one after parent tot (although we never took parent tot) He was a little hesitant at first. I got in with him for the first two days, but after that he loved it. On the last day he even volunteered to be the first preschooler to jump off the diving board --mommy and aunt heidi were a little nervous, but his teacher reassured us he would be fine. He marched right up, walked to the end and jumped into her (no life jacket, no water wings) What a brave little guy. It was a fun two weeks! </div>

I feel that we are so blessed to have such a large extended family. Jaxon absolutely loves the times that he gets to spend around all of his cousins, aunts & uncles, grandparents, etc.! These pictures are from my cousin Kari's son' Ezra's 1st birthday party. His birthday is the 4th of July (what a cool birthday, huh?)</div>

Each year my aunt hosts the Thompson family at her house in Othello. It was the last weekend in June, but by the weather you would have never guessed it! I don't think I have ever been cold in Othello before during the summertime - but we still had a great time and Jaxon enjoyed seeing all of his cousins and playing in the pool! Here are a few pictures from that Saturday.</div>

As I have mentioned before, Jaxon goes to preschool at North Wall. These pictures are from a big summer party they had just before the end of the school year. Jaxon, of course, attends during summer as well, but they did take a week-long "summer vacation." It was a fun party with Qdoba for dinner, treats, bouncy toys, cake walks, a cultural fair, prizes and more! As you can see from these few snapshots, he had a great time and experienced many firsts!</div>

Jaxon started Soccertots in June. There were about 6, 2 & 3 year olds in his class. He loved having a coach and playing all of the fun little games. It's amazing how much they actually do learn from the little classes. From start to finish his listening skills, social interaction and soccer skills got quite a bit better. </div>

Jason celebrated his 33rd birthday May 26th. Jaxon absolutely LOVES when it's someone's birthday (I think it's the cake and ice cream) We had a great day - Jason went and played a round of golf first thing in the morning with Sam and Jesse at Wandermere, we then headed to Coeurd'Alene for the songwriters festival in the park, then we went out to an early dinner at a great new restaurant downtown - Steelhead Bar and Grill, then we celebrated with cake and presents at home - a very fun filled day with all of Jason's favorite things! </div>

Jaxon's absolute favorite thing to do right now is go to the park, especially the slides! Any time we get in the car he wants to make a quick stop at the park. I have debated about getting him a swing set for our house - however it's such a special adventure to go the park that I think we will keep it that way. Here are a few photos from a couple of different stops at "the park" (which is anywhere that has playground equipment)!</div>

Just a few pictures from a day where he looked so grown up! He can now open all of our doors (including the slider). He has been potty trained since about January. He has this little belt that Jason and Jesse wore when they were his age and it looks so darn cute to see him with it on. What a little man he is becoming. </div>

Before I became a Korb, I had never played a game of cribbage in my life. However, it's a Korb family tradition and we play just about ever time Grandpa Greg comes over. Jaxon loves to be involved and play cribbage with Daddy and Grandpa! He's becoming so big - just one of the boys!</div>

Just a short week after Easter, it was my 33rd birthday. We celebrated with dinner out at Tomato Street. Then cherry chip cake (thanks Heidi) at home. Jaxon LOVES birthdays and was more than happy to help blow out the candles! </div>

Once again time has slipped away and I'm behind on blog posts, surprise, surprise! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, my goal is to catch up in the next week, so here it goes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Good Friday, we had quite a scare as Jason and I were home, tending to Jaxon as he had come down with a fever that day (it was Spring Break, so Jason had been home with him that day). We had been giving him lots of TLC and finally around 4:00 PM it seemed that his fever had broke, yea! We had dinner, and were watching cartoons when Jaxon said he had to go potty. So, off he went up the stairs. Jason met him at the top of the stairs and they headed toward the bathroom. I was still in the living room and heard a loud thump and then Jason yelling for me to get up their "QUICK!" As I ran to the top of the stairs I saw Jason holding Jaxon in his arms as Jaxon had begun a full body seizure. I ran to call 911 as Jason took him into the bath and begin pouring cold water on his head. It seemed like it took forever, but the seizure finally stopped. He was then just in a daze, but we knew he was breathing, and when he seemed to snap out of it and start to cry, we were both so relieved. The fireman arrived shortly after. They said that Jaxon had probably had a febrile seizure, because by the time they arrived, he had stopped and was just quietly crying in Jason's arms. They got us all settled in the ambualance and off we went to Sacred Heart. They gave Jaxon a new little bear that we fittingly named "Lance" for Ambulance, and he still sleeps with him every night! In the ER they said that the cause was probably a double ear infection and although it's not supposed to be hereditary in any way, the fact that I had had not one, but two of these seizures when I was a toddler was definitely a factor in determining that it's probably what it was. We followed up with our pediatrician on Monday, when Jaxon had broken out in a rash, and she said that actually it wasn't a double ear infection, but Roseola (hence the rash on Monday because the fever finally broke). So, Easter Sunday was definitely full of a lot of extra hugs for this little guy, because it was a pretty scary thing to go through just a few short hours earlier! </div>

Although he can have his "terrible twos" moments at times, this little boy is so adorable. He is kind, he is smart, he is gentle and he is absolutely hilarious!!! I guess we should have figured with his parents he would have these qualities - LOL! He just keeps getting more and more fun each day and we are thoroughly amazed at his little brain and the things he comes up with!</div>

*You give him a letter and he can tell you a word or name that starts with that letter (he has known his alphabet and recognized all letters since he was 20 months)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*He can tell you his mommy's phone number</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*He can tell you where his mom and dad work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*My favorite word right now that he says is "Aurora Borealis" - sounds sooooo cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*His favorite cartoon is by far "Little Einsteins" - he absolutely LOVES it. He has a dance that he does to the theme song and sits enthralled through the entire episode.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*He keeps asking for a baby sister. Many of his friends at school have them and almost each night he says "Please can you put a baby in you belly?"</div>

Our little boy is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital and now look at him :-) We think this little picture just after he woke up - looks like a teenager, messy hair, pajama pants, head phones t-shirt - a little preview of Jaxon + 10 more years !!</div>

Christmas Morning!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We work up early (of course, Jaxon is always up by 6:30 AM) and opened presents and stockings. Then Jaxon went downstairs and woke up Uncle Jesse to open more presents. Then my dad and sister, and Jason's mom and grandma came over to open EVEN MORE presents and have breakfast. A lovely morning.....such a switch from last year where Jaxon got a little bored with presents, this year he could have gone on all day, he LOVED opening presents. </div>

Let the festivities begin - we, like many families I'm sure, pack as much as humanly possible into the holidays. We typically start with Christmas Eve Morning and celebrating with Jason's dad, then Christmas Eve night we head out to Deer Park to celebrate with the Thompson's, then go to midnight Mass with Jason's Dad at Gonzaga, Christmas morning at our house with Jason's mom, brother, grandma, my dad and sister, then finish up the evening by going out to Loon Lake to celebrate with the Schuler's. Wow - lots of family in a short of amount of time, but we love it. And Jaxon loves seeing everyone. Here are a few photos from the first "party" of the two days, Christmas Eve Morning with the Korbs.</div>

As I have mentioned before, Jaxon goes to North Wall Schools on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. He enjoys his time at "school." This year their Christmas program was held at Rogers High School in their auditorium. It was very cute to see each class come on stage and sing their songs. This is Jaxon's toddler class. He is the last one one the right side. Very cute!!</div>

It so fun with Jaxon getting older, he is starting to understand everything that we are doing and why. I also enjoy the fact that he isn't afraid of anything, he didn't mind sitting on Santa's lap and is always up for any kind of adventure - such a FUN little boy!<br />
