Fun Times with Miles

So, a lot has gone on these past few months! I have so many pictures and I don't know where to start, so I'm sort of playing catch-up. My goal is to be better at this blog thing!


We went boating at Echo with the family before Mike went on his mission...Miles was a champ in the boat! He didn't like the wind in his ears, so he wore his beanie. Everyone mostly air-chaired because the water wasn't real great for skiing, but we had a blast.

Miles' first cook-out up Farmington Canyon. It was cold, but we had him bundled like you wouldn't believe!





Our little Aggie.

Silver Lake.

We spent last Sunday evening walking around Silver Lake by Brighton Ski Resort just before dinner. It was Miles' first trip to "The Outdoors." I'm pretty sure he liked it. At least that's what he told me.

Summertime Pics.

Seeing as Miles is so new, we haven't had much of a summer. Here's some pics that I've taken during our summer vaca!

Lovin' little Miles

Well in my last post I wrote about how darn tired I'd been. I'd had quite the rough time getting used to my new night time schedule with Miles. But the good news is things are now much better, and now I don't feel like crazed zombie I was a just few weeks ago.

Miles still gets up in the night to eat (he's only six weeks old) but I think my body's finally adjusted to things, and we are just loving the little guy. I can't believe how much he's grown and it's so much fun watching him learn things, like how to suck on his fingers, or lift and turn his head from side to side when he's on his stomach. I love that he recognizes my voice (and Neil's). He's so stinking cute! Being a mom is hard work, but definitely worth it. I hope I'm doing things right. Who knows?! I promise I'll post some more pics soon! I've got tons, but can't seem to find the darn cord to download them to the computer... ADIOS.

TIRED.

Noboby really told me just how tiring it is taking care of a newborn! Don't get me wrong- I knew I'd be getting up a time or two in the night to feed him, but really I wasn't expecting it to take a toll on me like it has. I literally feel like a walking zombie during the day, and have a hard time just talking on the phone! I think he's finally on a schedule to where he knows that the night is sleep time, so things have been getting a bit better. It's a good thing he's so darn cute! So, to all of you who have tried to have a decent conversation with me the past month, PLEASE accept my apology and if I said something totally weird, or started to drool, just set it aside and know that I AM TIRED!!!

Miles Has Arrived!

Miles was born July 9th via c-section at 7:45 in the morning. He weighed a whopping 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and has a full head of adorable dark hair. Having him around has already been amazing, and we feel so blessed to have him a part of our family (even though we no longer get more than three hours of sleep a night!)

A few PREGO pics

Well, we've only got a couple more days to go before the little guy comes! My doctor said he'd induce me on Thursday if I make it that long, which is a crazy thought to know that there is an end in sight. We've been terrible at updating the blog, but trust me- as soon as he gets here we'll have PLENTY to talk about and tons of pics to show!!
