Jaxon Bear Bemis

How rude of me to start this blog off about our family without highlighting the first amazing addition to our family!

JAXON BEAR BEMIS

We have friends (Annette & Andy) who are expecting a month after us and they also started a blog and their first post was all about their first lil guy Moby (who is one of Jaxon's best friends!) and so I am stealing their idea and dedicating this entire post to our lil Jaxon Bear!

Jaxon & Moby

Jaxon will be 3 in April and will be apart of our family for 3 years in June. We have had him since he was a puppy and we rescued him from the cornfields of Iowa! :-P We got him from the same breeder that my brother (Darek) & sister-in-law (Steph) got their puppy, Hunny. So when we went down to pick Jaxon up Darek & Hunny came with us and we found out that Hunny's mom and Jaxon's mom are actually from the same litter and so they are actually cousins!

 

 

 

Jaxon & Hunny meeting for the first time

We were so happy to get to bring him home and welcome him into our family!

For the past 2 1/2 years he has been such a joy and has brought so much laughter to our lives! A few frustrations from time to time as well, as most people experience with a new puppy! But we know that he has taught us a lot of responsibility and how to work together through those frustrating times. I honestly don't know what the past 2 1/2 years would of been like for us without him. We have been through so much, really great stuff and unfortunately a quite a bit of not so fun stuff too. Tho it was fun to do a lot of fun stuff with him, he def pulled his weight in our family on those hard days. It's amazing how he just would know and cuddle up with us and put those warm fuzzies back in our heart or do something so silly that would make us laugh so hard!

Jaxon tuckered out last night after hosting our super bowl party!

We get teased a lot that we spoil Jaxon and that maybe the case and probably is! But when he has made such a difference in our lives its hard not to give him the best of everything and continue to want to spend time with him and make more fun memories! And he is blessed not spoiled! ;-)

Here are just a few of the fun things we have done over the years:

Jaxon's 1st birthday party-celebrated with about 12 skin guests & 6 furry guests!

Hiking at St. Croix Falls

Hiking at Gooseberry Falls

Weekend at Mike's Family's cabin

Woof-N-Treat Parties

Trips to the apple orchard

Playing baseball with my family

So there you have a brief look into the joys of Jaxon Bear Bemis! We are excited to continue to do all of these fun things and so much more with him and his new little brother!
