Fun Times!!!

Since I have not been working!!!!!!!!! and have a lot of free time on my hands!!!!!!
Gage and I spend LOTS of time with my Sister and her kiddos!!!
It is so much fun....but, Brett is usually working when we go over there...
Reese and Cash always want to know when there Uncle Brett is coming over?!?
And most of the time we have to call him at work to talk.
He LOVES it...but he does miss them too!
On Friday we went to Tyf's house just for about an hour,
But, in 1 hour Uncle Brett got to
*"Watch" Cash do all his new tricks
*Spot Gymnastics
*Color
*Snuggle with Carter
Last but certainly not least
*Play Doctor and Patient with Reese

*Yes Cash is wearing jeans and yes it was 107 that day!
He always wants to wear pants! Crazy kid!

*This is just too funny!

~I am so happy that we have family so close and we get to spend lots of time together!!!!

~SOOO HARD~

Well, Last night Brett had a dinner for work.
He had his 5 year anniversary with QuikTrip in March!
So Proud of him for all his accomplishments with them!
*I had to document this crazy day...
But, that did mean that it was the 1st time that we would be leaving
our big boy with anyone but each other.
At least he got to spend some quality time with Barbie, Papa and Uncle!
I knew it was going to be hard being way from him even though it was only 4 hours...
I cried saying goodbye to him in the driveway, and I kept crying all the way to the
freeway...He is always with me and other than taking a shower... I am always just a room away from him.
We made it through and I was so excited to get back to my parents house
and grab my little Gager and snuggle him all night.
They must have worn him out because he had his best night sleep ever!

*Gage with Barbie

Thank you Barbie, Papa and Uncle
for watching Gage!!!!


We were at the Doctor on Thursday and Gage is now 9 lbs 5 ounces!
He is getting SO BIG!
He now fits in to all his new born outfits!!!!!!!

~HOLY COW!!!!!

Today Gage is 1 month old!
It is amazing to me how fast this past month has gone!
But when I think about it I can't remember what life was like before
our beautiful baby boy was born!
Gage just fits, he is a part of us now and will be forever!
I absolutely LOVE being a Mom, in the difficult times as well as the great times!
Middle of the night feedings are not my favorite...
but, I do love the time I get to bond with Gage!
The past month has been wonderful, and I can not wait
for more milestones to be reached with Gage as well as
Our Little Family!*(Picture by janellejoyphotography.com)

Happy Birthday Reese!!!!!

It seems like just yesterday that our niece Reese was born!

But today She turns 4!!!!!!!

*This is how I remember Reese! But she has gotten so big since then!
*Reese had a princess Birthday party!!! It was so fun! We did hair, nails, and make-up!

She is such an amazing little girl, and so sweet!
She is a mini Mom, and so good with babies!
She is almost too smart for her own good!!!!!
But thats what we love about her!
She has her Uncle Brett, (or Aunt Brett, sometimes we get confused!) wrapped around her finger!
*Some how Uncle Brett talked Reese in to giving him a massage!
*Just before Carter was born, we went to the splash park! SO FUN!

And she is obsessed with her new cousin Gage!
We love to get to hang out with Reese and watch her grow up in to a beautiful girl!
I am so happy that i have taught her all that she knows!!!!!!
(Just look at this picture!)

*Reese and Evan at our wedding! (She is too funny!)
*Reese has many talents, some of which are Dancing, singing, putting on mom's make-up, and doing projects that cover our fridge!
Thanks Reese we needed some decorations for the fridge!
We Love You so much Reese!!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!!
We can not believe that you are 4!
Holy Cow!!!!!

~Update~

Well, the past couple of days have not been the easiest...but with the help of my wonderful husband, and my AMAZING sister I have survived. Gage has been super fussy, and just not a happy boy, but we figured out that it has just been so serious gas going on. I am so glad that it's an easy fix, and he is a happy boy again! A happy baby makes a VERY happy Mom!*Gage is getting to like Tummy Time and his neck and back muscles at SUPER STRONG!

*My Boys just taking a nap together! Daddy can not seem to get enough of this!

Today was great, Brett needed to sleep, and I just needed to get out of the house, and I just LOVE spending time with my sister! We have grown so close over the past few years, and it is just amazing to be able to have not just a sister, but a best friend to talk to and cry to and ask for advice!
*Just after Gage was born! (We don't seem to get too many pictures of us anymore but that is my new goal! To get more pictures of the rest of our family, not just the kiddos, Even though they are WAY cuter!)*After a long day with his cousins and Aunt Tiffy, Gage was exhausted!
*I just loved that he was so asleep, and so comfy just on Daddy's arm! So Cute!

Loving Motherhood!

It is so amazing to see the changes in yourself and your husband when you become parents!
It is such an amazing time in our lives and I am so happy and thankful that I get to spend it with my best friend and husband. He is so much help, I can not even tell you. He always wants to have his time with Gage! (Which is GREAT since Gage and I get quality time in the middle of the night!)
I see both Brett and I falling in to the roll as parents so easily. I wasn't sure how that transition was going to go...but it has gone so smoothly, I can;t believe it!
*Mr. Gage was mad that Mom was not moving fast enough to feed him, so he though Dad's nose would do the trick! That didn't last long!
*If you look REALLY close you can see the MOHAWK that Daddy gave Gage! With gel and everything!
*On Monday, My sister and her kids, Brett, Gage and I, My Mom and Austin all went to visit Grandma Betty ( who is Preston's Mom) and we all got to visit and she was able to meet her # 8 and #9 Great- grandchildren! It was so much fun and we are so happy that we were all able to go over to her house together!

Gage went to the Doctor on Monday as well, he is doing amazing!
He was 7 lbs 2 oz!!!
He is getting bigger by the day, We just can't believe it!
He is finally fitting in to New-born clothes!!!!!
