Austin's Baby Blessing Week

This is Austin taking a bath in Great Grandma Hair's sink. He actually liked his bath in here. I think he's still afraid of the big tub.
Tyler's brother, Chandler, was having extensive jaw surgery this week so this was the best time to bless Austin since the whole family would be in town. Austin cried through the entire blessing...but then again he was only 3 and a half weeks old. I don't have him trained yet. :)

Lori, Jana, and I with Austin

This is our first picture we took with Austin all dressed up since he's been born! I usually wear sweats all day.

4 generation picture. Great Grandpa Al, Grandpa Richard, Tyler, and Austin

Grandpa Glen Gilbert came down for the weekend. Austin's middle name is Glen who is named after my grandpa here.

Daylen and Austin

Kate and Austin. They're all ready for a new baby brother who will be here the middle of May.

Tyler's dad with Austin

Austin's aunt Amanda. She loved holding Austin while she was here.

Who said babies don't smile before 6 weeks? Here is Austin at 4 and a half and he usually has a smile a few times a day. Mostly from passing gas I do believe. But here he is super happy just stretching out on the floor after a full tummy and a clean diaper.

More Pictures!

Classic!
He's still so little

Tyler's mom came to visit and help out after my mom left. I was so spoiled!

We looked at Tyler's baby pictures the other night and there is one that looks exactly like Austin!

Austin's aunt Amanda (Tyler's 10 year old sister) sewed this blanket and then sewed it to this bear's hand. Austin loves it! Well, he doesn't really have a clue what's going on. Especially when we take so many pictures of him and blind him.

Austin's first bath! It was a bit stressful since he cried the entire time until we got him all snuggled in the towel. Thank goodness I had some help!

This is our good friend Eliana. She cooked us an AMAZING Argentinian dinner and we all ate together and caught up on recent news.

Baby Austin has arrived.

Austin was born Feb 2, 2010 at 2:35 PM. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz and was 20 inches long.

These two pictures were taken a couple days after we took him home from the hospital.

He's so little!

Tyler's Grandparents (Allen and June) came to visit us in the hospital. They were both so excited to see him! Grandma June asked if she could take him home with her.

Me and Austin soon after he was born. He still did not have a name at this point. Good thing we figured that out before we went home!

He is ONE PROUD PAPA!

I have a baby picture of me that looks just like him in this one! I'm sure he will have manly features when he gets older though.

He is such a good baby! So far... He's got Tyler's chicken legs!

I just love his cute little feet! He doesn't like it when people touch his feet. Just like me!

This was taken right after he was all cleaned up. Welcome to the family Austin!

Sara and Lyette's Visit

While Sara and Lyette were here I took them on a tour of BYU Campus. We even went up and down the stairs to the RB and SmithFieldHouse which was QUITE the workout for me. I wanted to show them where I spent most of my time since my major was Exercise Science.
Look at those Beautiful mountains!

Lyette, Me, Sara

Baby Shower

Me and one of my old co-workers Jessica.
My two cousins. Jonna on the left is due today and Annie is her sister. There were quite a few pregnant women at the shower!

Here I am talking with my friend Stephanie. Me and Tyler play Pinochle with her and her husband on a regular basis.

Julie is an old roommate and her sister Melissa came along too. Julie is due exactly a week after me.

Natalie, Jenny and Brinli. Friends from church.

My two best friends all growing up, surprised me by flying in the Friday before my baby shower! Sara is now in New Jersey and Lyette is in Denver. I was ecstatic when I saw them! They are the best friends ever.
Daylen and Kate LOVE balloons!

Tyler chilled upstairs with Brad while the festivities went on. Kate's hair is a pretty typical hair style for her now days.

Becky and Nicole...College roommates. They are looking at the baby quilt my mother-in-law made me. I will post a better picture of it soon.

Tyler's little sister Amanda (Who is 10) sewed the little blanket on the bear and then sewed it to the bear's hand. She is quite talented!

Jana (my sister) put on the baby shower for me and it turned out GREAT! Thanks so much for all the work you put into it.

She made DELICIOUS homemade muffins and we also had fruit parfaits.

Daylen liked my Dr. Seuss whale.

We played a matching/memory game where candy bars matched with mommy terms. The best was "Postpartum Belly" matching with "Jelly Bellies"

Finished Tile!

Here is the finished product of our new tile. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

We used to have carpet under the table. The tile makes our kitchen feel so much bigger.

TA DA! I went through and cleaned everything in the kitchen. I deep cleaned the the fridge in and out, the counters and dusted everything that collected dust from the putting in the tile. It feels like I have a whole new kitchen! Good thing I have all this time on my hands now that I'm not working.

TILE!

Tyler did all the grouting himself, and we're finishing that tonight, so I decided to help clean up after him on the first clean sweep. I was glad I at least participated in some portion of this project since I didn't help with anything else. You can't tell too much, but my belly is really hanging down!

Here is the tile laid but no grout yet. Doesn't this look sooo good?

Here is our kitchen/dining room with our flooring all tore out. My dad and Bryson(brother-in-law) helped Tyler rip everything out one day. Then a couple friends in our ward helped Tyler lay the tile. Thank goodness we had some help. It was Tyler's first time working with tile, but it turned out AWESOME! It sure beat paying someone to do it for us.

Here is Tyler when I am at 36 weeks. He's lost probably 5 pounds while I've gained 35.

Here is me at 36 weeks! I'm getting close!

We went to my Aunt's house for Christmas Eve and took a picture in front of their beautiful tree! Too bad you can't see the full tree because it was amazing.
