What a Blessing Family Is

I know I have been posting a lot of things today but I have not had any time to get updated. These are just some pictures of Trevin recently. He has been sick the past couple of days. While I was taking these pictures I didn't realize he had a runny nose until I took a minute to look at him close. I know...I take pictures of everything but I don't want to miss one minute of his life. He has been crawling for about three weeks now and what an exciting time that is...and yet a frustrating time as well. I was so excited to see him crawl but now if we take our eyes off him for one second he is getting into things he shouldn't. We love him so much and are grateful to have him in our life. What a blessing family is!

First Bath..Real Bath

This was Trevin's first real bath. He loved it! He was splashing and crawling around in the tub. I thought for sure he would fall over and hurt himself or get mad but he did really well. He enjoyed playing with his ducks and the bubbles. He is getting so big!

Saturday Morning Breakfast

Not every Saturday but many, my dad makes us homemade breakfast complete with sourdough pancakes, cinnamon syrup, bacon, eggs, ham, and whatever else he can think of that week. He is quite the chef. Last time we had breakfast the power decided to go out...Instead of canceling or even eating cold cereal, he decided to get out the camper stove and his emergency stove and make breakfast. What a treat it is to be able to spend time as a family. Although we don't get together every Saturday, it has started to be quite the tradition. Don't mind how awesome we all look. At the end of the morning, Grandpa fed Trevin and they had a little nap together!

All the Fun

We feel so blessed this Year to have everything we need and more. These are some pictures of Christmas. I got the greatest gift ever...Colby gave me a new Cannon Rebel Camera and I can't stop taking pictures. I think I drive my family crazy taking so many random pictures but I am still learning how to work the camera. I have never taken a photography class or anything close so I am teaching myself. I love to scrapbook and I hope to one day take a class and do photography on the side.

Trevin got a bouncer that he loves! I wish I knew how to download videos but I am also still learning how to blog so pictures will have to do for now.

Colby got tools: table saw, miter saw, a table saw stand, and lots of other little things. He built our entertainment center and is currently in the process of finishing a room downstairs that will soon be my very own scrapbook room. My birthday is this Saturday and I hope it will be done then. I can't wait!

Christmas Time

Christmas is long gone but I had to post a picture of our Christmas tree. My sister in law, Tana and I managed to spend a lot of money at Tai Pan Trading one weekend. We had a blast but we spent a lot more than we were planning on. We bought Christmas decorations and lots of other stuff. I love Christmas time and I can't believe it is over!

Family Pictures

We Just recently took some family pictures. As you know, Colby is a huge Green Bay Packers fan and so I wanted to get a family picture of all of us in the official apparel for his office. I have to admit, I guess I am a fan now since they are doing so awesome!
I am so thankful for our small family and for the love our son brings into our lives everyday! My favorite times are when we spend time together and making Trevin laugh. I love to see him smile when you walk into his room each morning and he sees you poking your head over his crib. He just grins and sort of laughs (if thats what you call a four month old baby's sounds). I can't believe how much he is growing but being a mom is the #1 blessing in my life this year! I love seeing Colby play with him and to watch Trevin's Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents be with him too! What a blessing family is in my life!

Halloween

One Night when I was working at the hospital, I was sitting at the nurses station and someone had printed a picture similar to this one off the internet. I thought it would be fun to do and so here are the results. If you notice Trevin's Left leg is slightly reddish purple...I didn't realize the hole was not exactly big enough and so I was cutting off his circulation. No wonder he didn't smile. So after Hilary and I struggled to get him out of the pumpkin I cut the hole bigger and took some other ones. He finally smiled for me. I think my neighbors are going to turn me in for child abuse since it was so cold but it was so much fun and I think the pictures turned out cute!
This picture is the one I took after I cut the holes bigger. This is in our backyard...The other ones are at Colby's parents house. I really liked the red background!
Trevin was a penguin for Halloween! It was so much fun dressing him up and going up to his grandparents house to show him off.

I had to work on Halloween so I didn't get to take him around to too many places but Colby took him around and showed him off! I had to hurry and get some pictures in before I went to work. He is growing up so fast but he is so much fun to have around and to love! I couldn't have asked for a better son! He sleeps through the night and lets us sleep in even! He doesn't cry very much, only when he is hungry, and he is smiling more and more everyday! We love him so much!
