Memorial Day!!

Yesterday was a very fun holiday! There is nothing better then no school a beautiful day and a BBQ. We had such a fun day Scotty only had to study for half the day which is the best! The day was a success! We planned a BBQ with a bunch of our friends and went swimming. It was Barricks first time swimming which made it even better!

This is Barrick with his new swimsuit. I looked for months trying to find a swimsuit smaller then 12 months and finally I found one an hour before we went swimming. Also it was the only one so I was glad I looked hard enough to find it.

This was most of the swimming crew. Us the Swensons and the Kelseys. Notice Scotty has stuff to study he always works so hard!

This was Barricks first time swimming. The water was freezing! He loves bath time but I think he expected the water to be warm and he was pretty sad to feel how cold it was.

This was after we took him out of the pool. He was very happy to be wrapped up and given his favorite toy.

Barrick and Daddy.
One with Mommy.

One with the whole family.

That night at the BBQ this was the only picture I got. We were pretty busy taking care of kids and getting food ready so this is it. Thanks everyone for a fun day!

You Are Esmerelda!

Mysterious and passionate. You are a survivor. Even though life has swung you some difficult situations you have a strong intuition that gets you through. Also, you have the capacity to sympathize and relate to a variety of different people.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Thanks Melissa and Jenny this one was fun!

White Coat Ceromony and 5 months!

Yesterday May 23, was first of all Barricks 5 month mark which means he is growing way to fast! But also it was Scottys white coat ceremony for medical school. The program was very good their were a couple of speakers who talked about the importance of the white coat and symbolism it holds. It was a very neat program they also swore in the Hippocratic Oath which is always a neat thing to see and hear. After the ceremony they had refreshments so everyone could socialize and of course that was Scottys favorite part so he could show off Barrick to all of his classmates. Barrick was a hit!

This was after the ceremony, I couldn't hear a thing Barrick was talking and laughing the entire time. He was definite entertainment to everyone around.

I just loved this picture, Barrick loves his Daddy.

Another cute one of my boys.

Scotty putting on his white coat.

Everyone with their white coats on.

Saying the Hippocratic oath.

Barrick and Easton!

I love taking pictures and their is nothing better then taking pictures of Barrick!! These are just a few pictures of Barrick with his friend Easton. Easton is about seven months older then Barrick and he was over at our house the other night and he insisted on sharing everything with Barrick. He will be a good older brother. I couldn't catch Barrick smiling but he thought it was pretty funny.

Easton was sharing everything he had crackers, remote, sippy cup everything.

Barrick didn't know about crackers.

Rolling and rolling!

Barrick has been rolling from his back to his tummy ever since the end of April and he does it all day long! This is great, but the problem is he hates being on his tummy! He has hated tummy time ever since he was little he screams after about two minutes. So I have always had to make him cry during tummy time. He has only rolled from his tummy to his back twice so I am having to roll him over all day long. To my surprise when I went to check on him this morning, this is how I found him. I was shocked!

I love his little bum poking up in the air.

I love this little guy!

Sick for the first time!

This happened right after his four month appt. so it was a few weeks ago but I wanted it on my blog. (for record) I am not so good at scrap booking so I wanted it somewhere. Right after he got his shots, the next day obviously he ran a fever which is normal, but then from traveling back to Utah and being around sick cousins he got a cold. It was no fun coughing and runny nose. SO SAD! This was his first fever and his first sickness.

This was Barrick the next morning after his shots. He looked so peaceful, then when he woke up he was screaming!! I had never heard him cry so hard, we gave him some more Tylenol, and this next picture was once he was calmed down and his fever had started to go down.

He ran a fever that whole day, then finally that night it was totally normal. Then the next day he woke up stuffy and sick. So their is a first for everything and this was his first sickness.

PICTURES!

My friend Emily Hayes is just starting a photography business and Barrick was lucky enough to be one of her test subjects and I LOVE THEM!! She has done a couple of my friends kids and you can check them out on her link "Hayes Photography". She did an amazing job! These are just a couple of her favorites I will get the rest later. Enjoy!

I love all of the colors!

Of course we had to have Scotty there he can usually get Barrick to laugh at him pretty easy!

SO SWEET!

She just took a couple when we were getting Barrick in between poses and took this. I look horrible I had just got back from jogging, but I loved Barrick in this one, I love his different colored eyes!
