Is It Finally Summer?!!!

I think that Summer is finally here!!!! It's about time! The boys have been playing in there shorts and "Floop Flops" outside everyday! It's so nice that I can send them out to the backyard to run off all their energy and most of the time they get along! So now that it is summer what is on the boys priority list you ask...well this...
Jack is very concerned about mowing the lawn and Trey is all about running through the sprinklers!

Jack loved to mow last year and I didn't know if he would be into it this year but he totally is! He is obsessed with lawn mowers he looks at them in the paper he asks everyone about the lawn mower that they have and it is so cute! He gets so excited when it is law mowing day and can't wait for Richard to get our there and do it! Hopefully the passion is still there when he is old enough to really mow the lawn!
Trey was loving running through the sprinkler even though he really wasn't suppose to....but how can you deny any kid the chance at that! By the way check out Trey's abs I wish mine looked like that ;)

Jack also has been enjoying himself some basketball!

And the boys love to race up and down the street! I put this picture up because it totally catches the way that Jack Runs! The poor kid was blessed with my short little legs that don't run so when Jack runs he runs with his arms and it is so stinkin' cute! Some people think it's weird but I think it's funny! We have been really enjoying the warm weather and can't wait for it to get a little warmer so we really can do some fun water things!!!

2 Weeks old and a Panda Suit!!!

I can't believe that Harper is.... well today she's almost 3 weeks old but in these pics she just 2!

Here she is in her pretty princess dress!

And posing with her mommy! She is such a sweetie! We took her to the Dr. on Tuesday and she weighed 7lbs. 14 oz and 21 inches long! I can't believe how tiny she still is. I mean She still doesn't weigh as much as Trey did when he was born! I love my tiny little girl though! She is still sleeping great only gets up 1 sometimes 2 times a night. She is such a quiet little girl. She hardly ever cries and she is perfectly content to just sit around and watch what her big brothers are doing! We all just LOVE her because she is just so sweet! She had a little bit of a cold this week we all have thanks to Jack. It was so nice of him to spread the love! I'm still a little sore especially at the end of the day but I'm doing pretty good! I also went to the Dr and things are looking great. I can drive again so that is exciting!!! We have been out of the house a few times and it hasn't been an issue. I was worried about taking all the kids out and about because I didn't know how Jack would behave but he's been great! We all hold hands in a big line and honestly it looks a little silly but it works!

We made our first trip out of the Valley yesterday! We all went with Richard to SLC to pick up movies and to visit some family! We took Harper to meet all the girls at the office. Richard ended up having to have a little meeting with his bosses so the boys found a great way to entertain themselves!

Trey

Jack

Richard had brought this panda suit back that they used in Logan last weekend and the boys loved walking around in the panda head! It entertained them for awhile!

Also while we were down there we went to Richards Grandmas because his Uncle Allen was in town. Allen and his wife Janelle are moving from Colorado to Seattle. It was prefect timing that we were able to swing by and visit them before they were on there way!
Janelle was so excited to see the baby and once she got a hold of her there was no getting her back ;) Seriously she had her for the whole 2 hours that we were there and they both just loved it! Harper just starred at Janelle the whole time and was happy as always. It was great to see them, they are always great fun to be around! Wish we got to see them more often! Our little trip to SLC was great and the kids did pretty well. Harper was happy as long as her belly was full and the boys well.... they were boys!

A Shayne Bair Graduation!!!

So it happened Shayne Bair graduated from High School! We are so proud of him and I can't believe that he is already done because that means I have almost been out of high school for 10 years people! It was a great ceremony and the kids did great...even if it was longer then sitting at church (Trey's words)! Luckily Jack had Richard to play with the whole time and Trey had Uncle Colby or I don't know what we would have done! Harper pretty much slept through the whole thing and was an angel like always!



Here is Shayne finally walking up to get his diploma! Him and his friends sat clear at the very end!

Now Graduating Shayne Russell Bair!

Receiving his fake diploma!

Shayne and Dad! I like that they are both doing the same pose with the same silly grin in this picture!

Colby the midget, Shayne and Me

Can you tell that Jack was pretty proud of his Shayne Bair! My Grandma Bair was also there but we seriously lost her! My dad dropped her off at the door while he went to park the car and that was the last time he saw her! The silly Grandma decided to go and sit down in a seat instead of waiting for everyone else. So she sat alone since she was no where to be found and didn't bring her cell phone and we all sat together. Then after it was all over we still couldn't find her! Luckily Richard found her or she would have been walking home ;) We are all so proud of Shayne and all that he has accomplished I'm sure that he is going to go on to do lots of great things in his life! Congrats Shayne!!!

I put this on here only because I want to get $10 off my next purchase....But isn't she the cutest! Yes I think so!!!!

Black and White Days!!!

We weren't sure if we were going to make it to B&W days this year, but luckily for us Harper was here a week early so we were able to take the boys to the parade! Normally we hit up the horse pulls as well but with a new baby and the resent out break of horse herpes (yes, you read that right) we just hit up the parade! That was really enough for me anyway! So the boys waited all day and finally when Richard got home from work we drove to Richmond!
Here is me, Harper, Jack and Trey waiting for the parade to start! Lucky for us my Grandma goes and parks her truck in a great spot that morning so we don't have to fight for a place!

Daddy and his boys!

The boys loved hanging out with their uncle Shayne! He was cool with hanging out with the boys even though all his friends were there with him...he was probably trying to impress the girls that were there! Uncle Shayne was even nice enough to walk with me at a snails pace to the parade since Richard and Trey had forgotten that I had just had surgery a week ago!
I love this pic because Jack kept giving all of Shayne's little girlfriends the eyes and they kept giving him candy! Smart little guy if you ask me!

They loved the band!

Trey eating his candy!

Jack finally getting to have a piece! He asked through the whole parade when he could eat his candy!

Also while we were there Harper got to meet Granny Kalee for the first time!

She looks like a pretty proud Grandma for not even being 40 yet if you ask me ;) We had a great time at the parade it was fun to visit with my family and just let the boys run wild and crazy! The boys were sad about not seeing any horses but there is always next year! We had a great time and even little Harper enjoyed it! Not that she saw one little wink of it! She slept in her sling the whole time but I'm sure she still had fun!!!

The First Week!!!

I can't believe that our little baby is already a week old and seriously it has gone by so fast! It was great having Richard here all week to help me out...I never could have done it on my own. I mean did you realize that after you have surgery how much pain you are in ;) Joking I knew how much pain I was going to be in! Luckily for me on my really bad days Richard just let me lay in bed and he took care of everything. But now we are back to reality that now involves 3 count them 3 kids!! I love them all! Trey has been on his best behavior helping me around the house and Jack well he's doing the best that a 2 year old can do. Surprisingly enough Jack isn't the one who has almost stepped on his sister...that would be the other brother! So far this week we have made this accomplishment....

We gave Harper her first bath...and she hated every minute of it! She isn't exactly a crier so we were shocked that she could even make this loud of a noise....I guess she can when she is ticked!

As soon as she was out of there she was just as happy as could be again!

Here she is sporting her super cute preemie jammies! She is seriously the cutest little girl I've ever met! I'm not just saying that because I'm her mom either ...she seriously is!!!

Here she is a few days ago finally awake so you can see her pretty little eyes! I just love this face it's so chubby and she has the cutest double chin! She is a big time cuddler. She like to snuggle with my but she really loves to snuggle with her dad and he loves it too! The other night after one of her baths she got all snugly with him and every time he would move she would just sink farther and farther into him....so adorable! I should have gotten the camera but I was upstairs it was downstairs and at that time me and stairs still weren't the best of friends!
She loves this blanket that aunt Tiffer made her! When ever we put her in it she snuggles up and goes right to sleep! I don't blame her because I want to do the same thing!
Finally to celebrate her being 1 week old she lounged out with her brothers on the floor! I can't believe how big they are compared to her! I was telling Jack that before I had her he seemed so little and now he looks like a little man! Both of the boys are doing great with her Jack likes to "help" me feed her and burp her before he goes to bed. He likes to help swaddle her up so she sleeps good and he loves to give her, her Binky! He also likes to ask if he can try her Binky and then we have to talk about how he gave his to the Binky Fairy forever! He is such a good brother to her though I was really worried about him but he is doing great! Trey is a helper too...he's funny because he likes to be right there when she is getting dressed for the day to help pick out a head squisher! Then he likes to go through all of them and see what outfit they would go with...it's a little funny. He is such a boy so it's funny to see him really into his sisters stuff! He loves to check on her in the morning to make sure she is still sleeping while I get ready. This is probably a little TMI but I don't want to forget this one! He has been very concerned about how she eats...so we tried to explain it to him and he's totally weirded out by the fact that she gets her food from a boob! It's a bit hilarious because whenever he sees me feeding her he gets all crazy and says, "I can't believe Harper's drinking from a boob!" then I inform him that he use to and he gets totally freaked out!
Things are going great though we've been able to stay on the same schedule that we created almost 5 years ago with Trey and it just seems like Harper has always been here! I was nervous about the transition from 2 to 3 kids but it's been pretty easy...Lucky us! We are so blessed to have 3 beautiful kids that are all so great!

She's Here Part 2!!!

Hospital time...my favorite thing that they now do at the hospital that I never had before is that they give your baby a bath right in your room so that the mom can see it! There were alot of babies born that morning so Harper had to wait for a bit to get hers...but she finally got it!

I love this picture! Her feet are so tiny seriously the littlest feet I've ever seen!

Getting all scrubbed up!

She loved getting her hair washed! She just sat there and let the water run through her hair!

This was my most favorite thing...after her bath I got to hold her skin to skin to warm her up and just plain snuggle! I loved every minute of this seriously! It was the best...It made her feel better and it made me feel better!

Our family all together for the first time!

It was so cute the boys brought her these little princess wands and she wasn't shy about taking it from Trey and showing him who the princess really is!

Trey loves his sister and takes such good care of her!

Jack loved meeting his new sister and he is so sweet to her!

Me and my sweet baby girl! And don't you just love my blanket and hospital gown! My sister in law Tiffany made all of this for me! I loved having my own gown. It made me feel so much better to be in my own things and it helped that they were super cute! At first they didn't want me to put it on after my surgery but I didn't care if I was going to be in the hospital I was going to wear it! Thanks so much Tiff! Everyone wanted to know where I got it!
On Saturday morning I was surprised when they told me that I could go home!!! I was expecting to have to stay til at least Sunday since I had surgery! But since I was doing so good they told me I could go home Saturday night! So I got Harper all dressed up and ready to go!

She looks so tiny in her car seat!

The proud daddy taking home his baby girl!

When we got home the boys weren't home yet they were with my dad so Richard took the time to give Harper a tour of the house! It was so cute...She already has him wrapped around her little finger!
Here she is a couple of days old! I think that she looks alot like Richard! She is so sweet! She is a pro at nursing...she took to it so easy and is still great at it! Which I love...I felt like such a failure when Jack wouldn't nurse so I was a little stressed about it with her, but she took to it with no problems! She is sleeping great! She gets up only 2 times at night just to eat really fast and go right back to sleep! Richard has been an amazing helper! I have a hard time getting in and out of bed so he gets up changes her and gets her all ready to eat and when she is done he takes her back to bed. He's been doing everything around the house and with the boys so that I can somewhat get back to myself before he goes back to work...which is tomorrow!!! I'm alittle nervous about him going back but we can do it! I'm starting to feel much better still a bit sore but not nearly as bad as it was at first! We are so happy to have little Harper in our home the boys can't get enough of her and they loving helping out! We just love her!!!
