New Arrival & Pax is 6 Months!

Introducing....Treyson Lee Gravatt. Born November 20th at 2:45AM 6lbs 3oz 20" long. Amanda was having some problems with low amniotic fluid, so the Dr. decided to take him a week before her due date. She had to be at the Poky hospital at 4AM so I told her to stay at our house, since it was closer. Well, they got here at 11 and were gone by midnight because her contractions were very steady. When she got to the hospital she was already at a 7. So me and mom rushed down and we made it with time to spare. He is such a sweet little boy with A TON of hair! Good job Tyler and Amanda! He's a keeper!

So I am really bad at keeping up with this! Pax is already six and a half months old. I CANNOT believe it! It has gone by so fast! At his six month check up he tipped the scales at 17lbs 11oz. 27" long and one REALLY big head. The nurse measured his head and when the Dr. came in he was like, "I want to measure his head again, just to make sure." Yep...he's got a big noggin! He was really pleased with his progress and told me he didn't look like he was a preemie baby anymore! So I'm so thankful to have a healthy baby. Paxten is sittin up a lot better by himself now. I think he has gotten worse at rolling from his back to tummy....maybe it's because of his BIG HEAD! :) He is eating baby food like no one's business. I think his favorite is probably applesauce or peaches. He LOVES his daddys hats. Kade can't hold him for 5 seconds before he is reaching for it. He has figured out the whole "throw a tantrum, get mommys attention, get my way" scheme. We are still working on sleeping through the night. He wakes up usually every 4 hours and is a little alarm clock. Hopefully we can break him of that soon. With Thanksgiving coming up, I am so very thankful for all of our many blessings and our wonderful family. I am so blessed to have a family like mine.

Old Shelf, New Twist

So I bought this shelf a couple years ago, and it's been hanging in our house since we built it, but it wasn't ever what I wanted. So, I don't know if you can tell, but I bought this enormous clothes pins and painted them black and then tied them to the pegs and hung Paxten's new pictures from them. I orginally wanted to hand actual frames with the ribbon, but I couldn't ever find any I liked. I found the clothes pins and thought they would be cute, so here is the end result!

Halloween 2009

So Kade and I got tickets to the Jazz opening night game. My mom was nice enough to keep Paxten and Gizmo overnight for us to be able to go to the game. We stayed the night down there and everyone else came down Saturday for a Halloween Party at JDee and Christa's house. This was picture was part of the opening show, it's an awful picture, but it was cool. They had all the Samoa looking guys banging drums and they had some in the aisle next to us. It was really coolAnother cool thing at the game was they had the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing the national anthem. It was so cool to see that many people get on the court and off the court so quickly. It was so loud when they were singing that it sounded like a recording or something. It was really neat! Sorry it's the back of them, but they were facing the other way.

Here's my cute little bear Paxten. We were out trick or treating. Kade made me get candy, so that HE could eat it!

Here's all the kiddos. Keean, Lexi, Kenzie, Ashlyn, Malachi, Piper and Pax on the floor.

Oh so happy to be in my costume!
