Baby Shower Gifts.....

The following pictures are two baby shower gifts that I got that I loved and totally used...

This first picture is a cake made out of Diapers that Tj's sister Bree made for me. Bree was nice enough with the help of my mother-in-law to throw a shower for me. The colors were green and brown and it turned out really cute.. the centerpiece to the table was this cake made out of diapers and baby stuff. Thanks so much Bree!
p.s. I have already used all of the diapers from that cake!



The Second picture is of me holding the cake.. I included this picture because its the only picture I have of me way pregnant... (but the problem is that the maternity shirt I had on hides it really well)... bummer oh well that's my way pregnant picture. (:



The other pictures I have included our another way good gift that I recieved from my cousin's wife Linda North. It is a little cover for the baby's carseat. It turned out so cute she picked out the cutest fabric. I totally use this everyday in fact I think it is a needed item. This cover lets him sleep if your out and about, it keeps the sun out of his eyes and off of his skin, it keeps people from bugging him, it keeps the wind and bugs out, etc. So yeah thanks Linda for the awesome gift I totally love it!

More Pictures....

This is him asleep in my silky blanket and the boppy... he totally loved it.



I took this picture the morning after we had him, while we were still in the hospital. I woke up and looked over and Tj was holding him, and his eyes were wide open, he was so awake and so adorable.... We totally love this kid.

Crazy, Buzy, Fun, Exciting Summer....

So this summer has been crazy for Tj and I. We just had a little boy about a month ago and this summer we have the awesome opportunity to build our own house. We broke ground a few weeks ago....
I will include some pictures from my camera but it has already changed so much as these pictures were taken over a week ago.
Tj has joined the crew and is helping build the house as well, he is having alot of fun spending all day working on our house.
Orvil and I take almost a daily excursion out to the house to see the changes and to check things out.... it is really exciting and really fun.





This is Tj at work......

My Excuse.......

So sorry I haven't blogged forever our compute is broken and so I haven't been able to blog....

I could blame it on taking care of little orvil... but really the reality is our computer broke and so I wasn't able to put pictures up on our blog and what is a post about our brand new baby without pictures?

Yeah so here goes......

Things I Will Miss About Being Pregnant

-Getting to pick which restaurant we are going to! (Almost everytime)
-Awesome Food Cravings... Some of mine included: any flavor of juice, citrus fruits especially pineapples and oranges, meat, yogurt, Sobe's, the hospitals crushed ice, any flavor of lemonade, bean burritos, did I mention meat....
-Feeling the baby kick all the time, night, day, all the time... oh and his new favorite trick now he likes to jam his foot (I think it's his foot) between the outside layer of my skin and my rib cage... he jams his foot in there so tight it gets stuck and I have to push his foot out and ouch does it hurt....But still somehow I think I am going to miss this...
-TJ now where ever we go always says "this is my baby's mama" (like he is black?) p.s. it is way embarassing, but way funny to it always makes me laugh way hard.
-All of the way awesome detailed, specific, really real dreams.
-People always opening doors for you and helping you lift and carry stuff.
-Last but not least all of the awesome presents, love, and support we have gotten from everyone.... I love you all... and thanks....
