Swimming!

The best part of our Spring Break was taking Graham into the pool for the first time! We were going through a heat wave and we thought it would be a good time to take him into the water. Unfortunately, the water was freezing!! We also were having a little bit of a breeze so the second you got wet you got so cold. I think it was a little shocking for Graham so it took him a while to get used to it. We took him again a couple days later and it was much hotter and much better. He loved it!! I think we have another little fish in our family.

Look at the look on his face! Priceless!!

We lotioned him up and I got him this cute hat to keep the sun out of his eyes. What a cutie!

Just lounging.

Graham and I are ready to swim!

I took this picture because it is a good example of what Graham spends his days doing. He is so close to crawling!! He gets in this position and then immediately finds himself on his stomach where he flails like a fish. So cute, but frustrating at the same time because he gets so upset!

Getting ready for the water!

His first dip!

Two happy, but cold boys!

He loved sitting on the step, playing with his bath toys.

Close up

Splashing with his friends.

You can tell that even though it was cold, he loved it!

So, I thought this picture was so cute that I entered him into the Children's Place Beautiful Baby contest. I think he is a winner!! :)

I also wanted to write a milestone that Graham accomplished today. I was bathing him in the bath and he pulled himself up on the side of the bath all by himself!! I think he was pretty surprised tha he could do something like that. It looks like we are going to have to lower his bed in his crib so he doesn't jump out!!

Also, the weirdest thing happened to me last night. Something I only thought happened in movies. Haha! So, Travis and I like to have Graham come into bed with us every once in while, only when he gets up in the morning, sometimes he fall back asleep so we get a little extra shut eye. So, I was having a dream that Graham was next to me in bed and we all fell asleep. I woke up in a panice because Graham was no longer next to me, somehow he ended up on the edge of the bed, all tangled up in the sheets at the bottom. I frantically tried to dig through the sheets trying to find him, thinking that he was suffocating, but I couldn't find him. At this point, Travis had to wake me up because I was actually on the end of bed frantically grabbing all the sheets!! Apparently it took him a while to get me out of it before I realized it was a dream. How freaky!! I wanted to write it down because I don't want to forget it! I hope it never happens again, I didn't like that feeling.

Spring Break Disney Fun!

We just had the best Spring Break ever this year! Travis was off almost two weeks and we had just such a great time spending every second with each other as a family. Our first order of business was to go to Disneyland of course. The one thing that we really wanted to do was to take Graham on It's a Small World and so, to my amazement, we actually only had to wait 30 mins! It was totally worth it, he was mesmerized!

Since we were nearby, we decided to first ride Pirates of the Carribean. He is such a good sport while his parents drag him around everywhere.

Graham and Travis sitting on the ride after it was over. Graham is giving it the thumbs up! :)

Here we are in line for It's a Small World. The new parade was also about to start so it looks a lot more crowded than it really was.

Graham enjoyed trying to touch the bubbles that Travis were blowing.

All together on the ride! He is holding a little Mickey Mouse, I love it!

Graham and I on the ride. Look at his face!

What a cute boy!

On our way home. I wanted Travis to take a picture of his adorable outfit. White pants!

Here is a video of him on the ride, it's kinda dark but you can kinda tell that he was really amazed by the colors and sounds of the ride.

Wedding Day

I can't even believe it, but Travis and I were married four years ago today! Wow, it's amazing how fast time has flown by and we have been through so much in just our four short years of marriage. We have lived in four different places, two different states, both graduated from college, both gotten career jobs, gone on some amazing vacations to Hawaii, Europe, and Canada, and most importantly, had our beautiful little boy Graham. It has been the greatest adventure of my life, being married to Travis, and I am so grateful that we will be together forever. I love you, baby! :)

This is the first picture that Travis and I took together as a couple. We look so young!!

On our wedding day!

Four years later, more in love than ever, and ready for whatever comes next!

Also, just want to wish my brother-in-law, Taylor, a very happy birthday! He is celebrating a very important birthday today, don't worry Taylor, we all have to get there some time! :)

Easter Sunday

Yep, the Easter bunny made his way to our little apartment this year for Graham's first Easter. We had such a fun Easter day. Graham found his Easter basket and then my parents and my grandma came over for some yummy french toast and then we all went to church together. Then we all gathered at my Grandma's house with the rest of my extended family. We ate some great food and had a great time being together on this great holiday. I didn't any pictures from my grandma's house and Graham had on this adorable outfit, so of course, I held my own little photo shoot, so bear with me. :)

Where is Graham's Easter basket?

He found it!!
He loved to shake his filled eggs.

He got a great new book for me to read to him at night.

Look at all that candy that mom and dad got to eat!!

Grandma brought over another easter basket for him that was filled with a new book and some Winnie-the-Pooh bath toys.

My cute boys!

I know, what an adorable outfit!

Somehow, Travis got him to stand like this.

We took the photo shoot outside by the pool.

What a sweet face!

Just loungin'

I love this picture! :) What a sweet little boy!

Yep, I think he is ready for his close up.

My two cute boys again!

I know, too many pictures!! But I CAN'T help it! Hehe!

Here is a cute video of Graham finding his first Easter basket:

Six Month Photos

I wanted to go get some professional pictures of Graham taken for his six months pictures. I had a really good coupon to JCPenny and I thought they turned out really nice. I actually got a ton more than just these two but I already have them up in frames so you will have to come over to see them. Next time I definitely want some pictures outside done, but these turned out great for now. Graham did a great job but we actually had a hard time getting him to smile. He was so much more interested in the camera and all of the equipment around him. We got some good shots though and he has a great somber face. :)

I love this collage! The photographer did a great job of capturing his many looks!
I love this picture!! Look at those eyes and those lips! What a handsome boy!

Random Cute Photos

Well, it has been a while, of course. We are still alive, just barely...just a few more weeks til swim season is over! Just an update, the boys team is currently undefeated and the girls team have lost two, but they are doing so well considering Travis is missing one of his best swimmers this season. Graham is loving going to the swim meets and cheering on his daddy!

Here are just a couple of random photos from the first part of April. I know I take way too many pictures of Graham but I can't help it, he is so cute!! I am constantly trying to capture his cuteness!

Between sessions of conference, the boys took a much needed nap! I swear, Graham has been teething since he was four month's old. Every couple of weeks, he goes through a couple weeks of waking up in the middle of the night. This was after one of those nights! And by the way, he will be eight months on Wednesday and still no teeth!!

This is an adorabe outfit that my aunt gave to Graham. I was so nervous that he wasn't going to be able to wear it because it is still a little big and summer is coming just around the corner. We finally had a pretty chilly day so I made sure to put it on him. I thought he looked so cute, I had to take pictures!

Mommy and Graham

Graham has moved into his big boy bath and he loves it!! I think it is his favorite part of the day. He seems to be the most fussy starting after he eats his dinner and the only way to put him in a good mood is to throw him in the bath.

Such a happy boy!!

Yes, my brother is wearing make-up. Haha! We never thought it would happen, but my brother has become one of us. We can now say that all the Sims' were ETHS cheerleaders!! Every year the high school puts on the big guy cheerleader dance for one of the assemblies and my brother got to participate. Graham and I made sure to go and watch to support and of course, I was flooded with memories of high school. It's funny that you could dislike almost every moment of something but look back on those times with such fondness, I think I would actually go back!

Many, many more pictures to come!
