one month old

This is my favorite picture of Gavin. This is the look I get all the time.

9 days old

A quick photo shoot of Gavin.

Gavin William Leishman

Gavin was born Monday November 10. He weighed in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. Here is our sweet little boy. He looks just like Taylor's baby pictures but with a lot more chub! I could not have asked for anything better a baby with kissable cheeks.

* I can't wait to take some decent pictures of Gavin . You will definitely be seeing more of him.

Happy Halloween!!!

This year was so much fun we went to a few Parties (Taylor and I got best dressed couple), a parade, a pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, and got lots of treats. Here are a few pictures of our fun month.

We Love You

A year ago today I went into see a doctor in Utah because I hadn't felt you move for a day. I remember sitting in the chair when Dr. Woolsey told me that something had happened and he could not get a heart beat. I tried to hold in my tears while I sat there alone on the chair with so many emotions going through my body. Could this really be happing I thought.
I immediately called Taylor (who was getting on a plane to Europe) and told him what had happened.

When I delivered I remember holding you and wishing so bad that you would just start crying and that everything would be ok. You where perfect in every way. I don't know why you were not able to come to our family on this earth, but I'm so grateful for the chance that I will be able to see you again. I just have to wait a little bit loner then I thought.

I love you Mia and I think about you everyday. I think about what you would be doing at this time in your life, and wish so bad that you where with our family.

Thankyou to my sweet family and especially my mom who puts flowers on her headstone every other day for us.

33 weeks!!!

So I'm 33 weeks and everyone has been asking how big I have gotten. So here is the not so lovely picture of me at 33 weeks.

Bear Lake with the Warner family

After we spent 10 days with the Leishman's we drove from California to Utah and spent a week with my family.

We went to Bear Lake with our good family friends the Mitchell's. It was a nice break to just sit and relax at the lake. Carson had fun just sitting on the beach playing in the sand all day long. He liked to get in the lake and splash around.

Probably the highlight to the trip every year is the water winnie. Everyone gets on and takes a turn. My dad is always a good sport and still gets on. The pictures tell how much fun everyone has on it every year.

We hiked through a cave that I thought Carson would like doing. I was totally wrong he hated it and Taylor had to take him out about 10 minutes into the cave.

Taylor sold his Harley while we were in Utah. He took Carson on one last ride around the block. It will be missed!

Why does time go by so fast!

I just got on our blog and realized I have not posted for 10 weeks. So much has happened and I always feel like I'm rushing when I put it on my blog. So I decided to make it a goal this week and get up to date.

Since the last post we spent a week and a half in California with Taylor's family. We flew in early to S.F. and spent two nights there. The plane ride was long to say the least. We spent 3 hours on the runway before taking off and then had a 6 hour flight. I was glad that the flight was not full and Carson could stretch out across two seats. When we landed in S.F. we tried to get a taxi. I guess from living out in NY we have learned a little about Taxi drivers that some take complete advantage of you when you don't know the area. Taylor was asking different taxi drivers to give us a flat rate from the airport to our hotel. If you can only imagine us standing there extremely tired, a cart full of luggage and a very tired little boy. Finally one of the taxi drivers said I will take you for a flat rate. We got to our hotel and had a great night that consisted of three hours of sleep before Carson decided he wanted to be up.
We went to Alcatraz and did the tour along with Fisherman's warf. I think Carson's favorite part was riding the trolleys. He liked it because he could hold on in the back. It was different then being underground in a subway.
We then drove to Sacramento and met up with the rest of Taylor's family. We had so much fun. We spent two days out on the Lake. I got addicted to Settlers of Catan ( thanks Mama Nancy for playing) Carson liked the sand and hated his life jacket. I'm always amazed at my husband because he does not get to go do the things he really enjoys but he has this inate ability to pick up right where he left off. We went out wake boarding and he just does a back flip on the board. He has done it in the past but not for a few years. I don't know how he does it.
We headed back to S.F. and spent a day and a half there. We rented bikes and biked across the golden gate bridge. We went to six flags and had a great time with all of Taylor's family.

2 Weeks Late!

We found out Two Weeks ago that we are having a baby boy!!!!!! I know everyone has been wondering how far along I am. I'm 21 weeks and due the 19th of November.

Much needed update!

Time has been flying by this summer. This is what we have done in the past few months: camping, six flags, the beach, Carson's first father and sons, Riley coming home from his mission, my birthday, Taylor's birthday, and a fun trip to Washington DC ( Carson got two black eyes, and a goose egg in the middle of his forehead)
