My brother and sister-in-law have made the decision to move to Oregon. With them they will take one of our family's greatest blessings: Jaxon. Both sides of our families can talk about Jaxon for hours- and do!!! He lights up ALL of our lives by just being himself. He is creative and sees life in such a pure way.... it's magical. I feel so blessed that during his last couple of days (before starting his journey west) he spent a night at my house. Today after running at the park, chasing a make believe squirrel and laughing so much we got tears in our eyes Jaxon had a very long nap. He woke from his nap and came running down my hallway with great urgency in his voice:
'Auntie, come HERE!'
I jumped up and quickly followed in the direction of his voice, 'what is it Jaxon??'
'Hurry, I have to show you something.'
He led me to the door and pointed upwards. 'Look, look at that sunset.'
'WOW....' I smiled and carried him outside. As we watched he sky he slowly shook his head, 'I just can't believe it.....'
'What can't you believe?'
'This sunset.... it's beautiful.'
I agreed, 'Yes, it is. Thank you for sharing.'
My time spent with Jaxon was like the sunset that he shared with me. Just beautiful. Today, I am not sad about what I'm losing.... I am happy and thankful for everything that we shared. Keep looking up sweet Jaxon...... Oregon sunsets are waiting for you to arrive.
A tattoo from each grandma. Too cute!
We set the self timer for these. Jaxon pressed the shutter and ran as fast as he could to make it just in time to get in the shots. It was so much fun we couldn't stop laughing!
Then Jaxon expressed his desire to hold (and use) Auntie's very expensive camera. I am still in shock that he captured the following images. These are straight out of the camera without any cropping at all.
If I only had time to tell you what he was saying to make me laugh....
Daniel and Brittany, I wish you safe travels and hopes for a journey that fulfills all of your families dreams. Love, Sarah

So sweet friend :o) love you! miss you jaxie poo!!
Jaxon is going to do magical things to the world. He has my insight, desire, and passion in his eyes. That mixed with his moms loving spirit, glowing soul, and desire to do everything honestly and whole heartedly is what will lead him to capturing the hearts of people that won't even be born until after he physically leaves this planet. Britt and I get told EVERYWHERE we go, "man your little boy Jaxon makes me feel VERY weird when I'm around him. Almost like time stands still." or "...like I'm dreaming" and "... I forget that I'm a grown adult." he knows he's amazing too. He told me yesterday, " I'm sooooo cool, Daniel." lol. As I told him I loved him this morning, with tears of happiness running down my face, he looks deep into my eyes and replies, "Awwwww...... Smell my feet, dad." truly my son and why I have a six pack core again. He keeps us laughing constantly! Sorry for taking him out of the state you ALL live in! He's excited for you all to come out and ride the trains and see his new bed and home! There's always an extra bedroom for anyone willing to come out. With that being said..... One day history will speak about Jaxon Nash Eastwood....
Got a future camera genius there methinks!
