Yikers!!

I am sooo behind on this it's not even funny :( Oh well, here are some cute things that have been going on around here in the last 5 months!! FIVE MONTHS?!?!?!? Where on earth has that time gone??!?!?!

 Trever's 2 month check up! I can't tell you his stats because I am a terrible mom and don't remember these things :( All I know is he was and still is healthy!!

 Sooooo, Trever turned out to be a sad colicy baby!! I tried everything in the world to help him out! I breastfeed him so I cut out everything you can imagine! I was down to plain pasta, pb&j's, and cereal and he was still SCREAMING from 10:00pm until 3:00am!! We tried swaddling, rocking, swinging, singing, driving, and nothing worked!! We finally decided that the chiropractor was our last resort! I was willing to do anything to get my baby to stop screaming! One visit to see Dr. Cody and Trever was a brand new baby! Sleeping better, eating better, spitting up less and stopped SCREAMING!!! This is Trever during his first visit to the chiropractor. We still go monthly to keep him all adjusted and happy!!

 My new running shoes!! Well, in August they were new! I wanted to start running as soon as possible after Trever was born because I am an addict! (Addicted to running that is!)

 Making some popcorn on a Sunday evening!!

 I could watch my boys sleep for hours!!!

 Poke!!

 Out on a walk!! I love our evening walks/runs in the summer time!

 Headed out to the field to help Daddy!

 Teaching Daddy how to run the grain cart!

 Blake and I enjoyed lots of runs around this track at the park this summer! Blake can run 2 miles non stop!!

 This is what he looks like after a 2 mile run!

 Trever's first tractor ride! Learning how to dig potatoes!

 "Just sit back and let the tractor do the work, Dad!"

 My two sets of twins!

 AHHH!!! So sweet, I could just eat him up!!

 My back bend baby! I think he learned this from all the back bends I did while prego ;)



Thankful Blake

For awhile now Blake has been randomly thanking us for different things that pop into his sweet little head. He thanks me for taking him to the store to buy food. He thanks us for church. He thanks us for yogurt. Mr. Blake is very random with his thankfulness. They always come out of nowhere and we really have to think about when and what he is talking about.

Blake spent about an hour and a half this afternoon on the tractor with John. John drives the grain cart during barley harvest and his Uncle Keith drives the combine (which Blake is obsessed with). Well, this evening John left to go to a motorcycle race in New Mexico for the weekend and as he was telling Blakey good-bye he said, "Thanks Daddy for the tractor and combine!" It almost made me cry...I love that he is thankful the the simple things in life :)

Belly and Baby

A friend of mine took some pictures of me when I was 36 weeks pregnant and then she took some of Trever when he was 5 days old. Thanks Kathy for capturing these sweet memories for us!

WOW!!!

Being a mom is hard work. Being a mom to one child is hard work. Being a mom to two kids is HARD work!!!! Having Trever join our family has completely rocked my world! All I can seem to get done around here are the same chores over and over and over again every single day. I can't seem to find time to make our meal menus or even a simple grocery list. It is not like me to be this unorganized and it is driving me nuts. Do I like being a mom? You bet ya!! Would I trade it for anything in the world? No way!! But WOW, it is a lot of work. God only gives us what we can handle right? Well, I sure hope he gives me more sleep because I could sure handle some of that right about now!! ;)

Busted!!

First of all I have to say that John has trained Blake to pee outside rather in the potty....So, Blake will put on his little cowboy boots and head out the door. Also, Blake doesn't like to pull up his undies and shorts. He would much rather just kick them off and run around with just his shirt on. So one day Blake informed me that he was "goin ta pee owside". When he didn't come back in after a minute or two I went to investigate and this is what I found.

Hard to see but his boots are laying perfectly in the legs of his little shorts:)

Some Summer Adventures!

We haven't done anything too crazy this summer because of the new little man but we have had some visitors and spent some quality time with them and our little family. I am just going to post a ton of pictures now and let you check out our summer so far :) ENJOY!!

 Trever's first jogger ride at 2 weeks!

 Weeding the garden with Mommy!

 We went to the Sand Dunes when my Uncle Mike and Aunt Sandra came to visit. There was no water :( so my mom helped Blake dig a hole to try and find some. Looks like Blake ended up in the hole.

 It was HOT!!!

Remember the post about being prego the same time as my sister and best friend? Well, here are the little men from all those bellies!

Rylen 9 weeks, Amon (my nephew) 6 weeks, and Trever 2 weeks
