just because pretty much all of these pictures are hilarious.

Piper is a bit of a crack up. 

And she knows that she is hilarious and the life of the party!

The bottom right photo is Piper and her 2-week old cousin Christian. 

I can't believe how fast the grow up! 

Also, Piper is still pretty little.

She just barely started being too big for the 0-3 months clothes and anything above that is still too big for her.

She is 24 inches long and 12 lbs 5 oz.
She's still small, but growing!

4 months

Piper is 4 months old and we cannot get enough of her!

She sure has grown up a lot, especially in the last few weeks.

She makes us laugh constantly and seems to have grown out of the screaming all day phase (thank goodness!)

She has started sleeping more during the day and is laughing more.

We sure do love this little nugget.

 

Phone Pictures

Just some photos from the past few weeks. 

We are very lucky to live so close to both our families so we get to see everyone often.

Just last week, Jake and Emily welcomed sweet baby Christian to the world.

We loved being able to meet him. 

 

We got to celebrate Trevor's Birthday with a big Thanksgiving dinner at his parents house

and some chocolate cake!

Thanksgiving was a blast! 

It sure was fun to see lots of family and eat yummy food!

 

I worked a bunch over the weekend, but Trevor really enjoyed having a few days off for the Holiday.

Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend!

This week I chopped off almost a foot of hair! Crazy, right?

But, I'm loving it so far!

We went on a bunch of walks, went shopping with my mom, laughed a lot, went on a long car ride with daddy, went to church, visited lizzy and spencer, and had all kinds of fun!! 

We love November!!

I'm back working at Color Me Mine a couple shifts a week.

I was worried about going back, but I think its great so far!
Its nice to have a little break from Piper 

and by the end of my shift, I am more than ready to get back to my little family!

But it is really nice to spend some time with some big people!

Trevor is really busy at work these days.

Its a bummer, but the overtime is really nice!

He is just a little sad that some days he doesn't get to see his baby girl.

Life is good, I just know that I am ready for spring.
This winter is gonna be a rough one.

Welcome April

Hunger Games

Probably the most exciting thing that has happened in the last few weeks.

Trevor loved it, I had a weird experience, but have since started to love it!

I'm in my last week of training! Only 4 more days of this mid-night junk! 

My shifts are now spent mostly on the phones with real customers. 

Its pretty stressful, but I think it will be great when I start my real shift on Sunday, and then 

get to work from home in just a few weeks!

Trevor is still looking for a job. And trying to deal with his dumb broken foot.

Its still giving him a lot of trouble most days.

We are so frustrated. Its been over 5 months and he is hardly feeling any improvement.

Baby girl is getting big and strong! She's a crazy mover too! 

We are getting one active kid, that's for sure!

She will be here in a little less than 4 months.

CRAZY!

I'm starting to get bigger, but not much. 

I still feel pretty small for how far along I am, and everyone seems to agree that I am tiny for almost 6 months pregnant!

Honest. I'm not complaining!

I'd rather not be HUGE, if that's OK. 

But I am really looking pregnant, that's for sure!

XOXO

life lately

life has been keeping us very busy the last few weeks!

I started training for my new job with jetBlue. 

I am in training every day from 4 to midnight. Its killer, but is going very well!

I had my first assessment yesterday, and got the highest score in the whole class! Hooray!

I am living up in Salt Lake so that I'm not driving back to Provo that late at night. 

Its nice to be so close to training and to be able to spend some extra time with my mom!

In just the last few days, I've started feeling baby girl's little kicks and punches! 

What a crazy feeling!

Also, its super distracting during training, which is when she tends to be really active! 

I can't wait to see Trevor this weekend so that he can finally feel her move too!

She's growing!

This was last Friday when I was just about 21 weeks!

I'm starting to get big!

I finally got some maternity clothes and am a lot more comfortable!

Maternity clothes are so soft and comfortable! I think I'm officially converted! 

I might not ever where real jeans again!

This weekend we are going to play hard! 

Its been a LONG week and we aren't loving being apart so much, 

so we are trying to go on a fun little date every weekend when I'm home!

Have a fun and happy weekend! 

put-put friday night

we had a crazy week last week and are heading into another one! Wish us luck!

Happy Halloween!

Fall Decorating

I think its pretty obvious that I love pumpkins!

Hooray for Fall!

from my phone

chillies kills my waist-line. mainly because i can't eat there without ordering their molten-lava chocolate cake.

i blame my cousin brianna and aunt tori for this addiction.

working on my cake stand. normally my color me mine paychecks barely made it out the door back in high school. i've worked there for almost 2 months, and this is the first and only thing that i have bought.

(that is not entirely true, but i can't post about the other stuff...they're gifts and nowhere near finished)

I have a little more to add to this, but let me know what you think!

it will turn out a lot darker and it has a little stand thing that will be fused to the bottom, too.
