This post is for my Mom!

My big sister called me and asked if I would take some pictures of her son... my nephew.  He is graduating and needs some pics for his announcements.  I still remember babysitting him, and now he is graduating from High School!   My mother wanted to see the pictures so I'm posting them on my blog!   So here are a few that I took! 

3 months

My life just got a little easier!  My baby turned 3 months old.  He pretty much can burp on his own, and no more colic.  He is still in his bassinet, only because sister is in the crib.    He sleeps a lot, and still eats so good!  He is a happy little guy! 
He still has his blue eyes!  I hope they stay.
Love his double chin!!

Brothers

I still can't believe I have four boys.  So much fun!   I hope they grow up to be best of friends, always helping one another, and helping their mother and sister!!
This would have been the perfect picture if Ty was in it...oh well
These boys keep me on my toes!  A few weeks ago Gavin decided to put a little ball of tin foil up his nose.  It started to bleed and he was freaking out.  The only thing I thought to do was to have him blow his nose.  He blew so hard! It finally popped out...what a relief. 
There was "drama" at our house for a day!  Brody's top tooth was loose, but it hurt to bad to pull out.  It was pretty much hanging there.  Dad got a hold of it and pulled it out.  Brody didn't even know that it was gone. 
Brody also decided to get the scissors at school and cut his eyebrow.  It has grown in, but I gave him a hard time for doing it.  The very next day was spring pictures!  He informed me that at least he has a cute smile.  What do you say to that?  Funny boy. 
 Gavin ALWAYS wants me to take a picture of him and Trevin together.
He thinks it's so much fun!

Easter 2011

Easter morning... found lots of eggs!
Had a wonderful breakfast with family!   We all had naps!  Then we were off to find more eggs and have dinner with family.
We LOVE are cousins!! 
It was a little chilly, but it didn't stop us!
Gotta love the punch stains on the face!! 
It was a wonderful day! Full of good food and family!!!

Wow! Life is crazy!   I feel like I have no time in the day to get all that I want done.  I try not to stress about it because there is always tomorrow.
Zane just started school, so he is never home.  He works until 5:00 and then goes to school from 6- 9.  Some days I feel like I'm a single parent with 5 kids!
I signed up to do a half marathon in July.  I told myself that I was done with races, but I couldn't pass this race by.  It's running down American Fork Canyon.  I have ran it many times and it's beautiful!!  I have been running and lifting weights for about a month now.  I am feeling stronger, but have a long way to go to get back in shape after having baby number 5.
Trevin is now 8 weeks old.  He is getting a look of his own.  His hair is so dark and curly.  And he has the longest eyelashes.  His smile melts my heart.  He is so far my biggest baby.  He had his "Well"child visit and he weighs 13lbs 1 oz.  He is 95% on the chart. His length was 24 3/4 in. (97%)   I am so glad he is doing so well.  Nursing is going so good for me, I hope I can keep it up until he turns 1.

We also painted Morgan's room, and added a double chair rail.  I wanted to make it fun and bright.  This is before we started.
I painted her walls pink and purple ( her favorite colors)
I thought it made her room look like Neapolitan  Ice cream so I added stripes.
It was kind of a pain to measure each strip, but once I was done the painting went fast.
And when it was all done it looked like this.
Still not sure if I like the light green, but it will work for now.  We are doing a flower/fairy room if you can't tell.  I have a very large white shelf that we still need to hang up.  With some really cute flowers and fairies to put on it.

Crazy busy!

So Trevin is 5 weeks old now.  We just love him so much! I haven't got a real schedule down with him.  But he is starting to sleep better at night.  He is an awesome eater!  So that means I'm changing a lot of diapers.  He loves to be held!  It's nice when Zane gets home from work, so I can get some things done around the house.  Trevin is getting baby acne all over his face.  As you can see in the picture.
He is changing everyday!  He loves the bath!  This is his first bath at 2 weeks old.  I just love his old man hair!

0ne week

My little Trevin is one week old!
He has been so much fun!!!  He just melts your heart when he looks at you and smiles.   He loves to be held!   It's a good thing that his older brothers love to hold him.
