Valentine's Day.....

Was a blast! We were gone out of town all weekend. Colby took me to see Colbie Calliat in concert in Salt Lake. It was in a club, so that was an experience. There were so many crazy people from all walks of life! It was a great concert, but we had to stand the whole time. Of course I wore huge black boots and so after standing for three hours, my feet were killing me. He bought me flowers and also let me go on a shopping spree. What a great husband I have.

My First Haircut





Trevin got his first haircut the other night by his Aunt Chelsea. He sat pretty still for most of it but there were times we had to hold his face. What a chubby boy! He looks so handsome! If you look in the background of the pictures, you can see that my kitchen is a mess. I was scrapbooking and had everything out on the counters. Colby was amazed that I could make such a mess. I got it cleaned up and then we were able to actually eat dinner in our kitchen.

SnOw TiMe



I can't believe how much snow has fallen the last week or so. I took Trevin outside to see how he would react to the snow...He was playing in it and having fun until he got his face all covered in snow. He didn't really like the cold on his face! I love the look of snow but I hate to drive in it. I didn't get to go snowboarding last year because I was pregnant so hopefully this year we will find some time soon to go.

Ten Things you Might not Know About Me...

I was reading Sam's Blog and I guess I am tagged now. Here are ten things you might not know about me...
1. I really have a thing about keeping my house clean. If I know people are coming over and my house isn't clean, I always just cram stuff into my room or places where people won't find it. I hate it when my house is a mess. I get up every morning and clean the same things everyday.
2. I am a nurse at the Hospital here in Nephi. I don't specialize in one area because the hospital is so small. I love my Job and even after all the heartache it took me to pass, I wouldn't change my job for anything. I love being a nurse and taking care of people everyday!
3. Although I am a nurse and give shots and start IV's regularly, I am terrified of needles. I hate getting shots or even the thought of it. I had to have my dad give me my epidural when I was pregnant because I didn't trust anyone else and I didn't want to have a needle in my back to begin with. When I was little I would pass out but as I have gotten older I am not as bad!
4. I am a huge scrapbook fanatic! I would spend all my extra money on scrapbook stuff if I had the time to do it. My husband is in the process of finishing a room for me and I can't wait!
5. I am born on groundhogs day!
6. I hate falling asleep alone. I have to have my husband in bed with me before I can get to sleep. Colby sometimes will watch TV for a while on the couch and I can never fall asleep without him. I don't know why!
7. I wish I made dinner more for my husband. I live a busy life and I need to do better about making dinner. I used to be so good when we were first married but now that I have a little son, things are a little more complicated.
8. I love to snowboard. I didn't get to go last year since I was pregnant so hopefully this year we will get to go.
9. I want to take a photography class someday. I wish I took better pictures although I am always flashing pictures. I hope to do photography on the side someday just for fun!
10. I love my husband dearly! Oh...and Trevin too!

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!
