Bleazard Family Reunion

We had our family reunion again up Huntington canyon but we had to find a new place because the fire went through our usual camp site.  The site was really nice and huge!  It was really nice to get together with my family since they live so far away from us.  Plus everyone finally got to meet Gage.  My dad, brothers, brother in law, and nephews hadn't met him yet.  The weather was nice and rained on us a couple times.  We played the card game scum, the kids did a night egg hunt, we went fishing, dyed t-shirts, watched many skits from the kids, and visited our old camp site.

Even the dogs made it in the family picture.

Our cute family!

All the cousins.  Aren't they so cute!

Gage  soaking up the sun.  Don't worry I did put sunscreen on him.  Even though he did get a little sunburned on his cheeks but not too bad.

Kyle, Jason, and Hunter fishing.

Gage and I at the lake.

Very full and happy. =)

This is obviously not a great picture but I wanted to put one in of Josh and Gage.  They are going to be best friends and are only 8 months apart.

Gage and Kyle.  I love this picture!

A look at our campsite from our trailer spot.  We really couldn't ask for a better camp spot.  It was so pretty up there.

Gage was so tired on the way home.  We had a great time with everyone and were really sad to leave.  We can't wait till next year.  Well I think I can a little because Gage is going to be running everywhere and I'm not ready for that yet..

Gage's Room

Gage's room has been a work in progress ever since we found out we were pregnant.  Not knowing what we were having made it hard but I also didn't want to pick a theme that I would have to redo when he gets older.  So looking on pinterest I found some things I really wanted to do and had to wait until we knew if we were having a boy or girl.  I wanted to put pictures of him up instead of random animals and such.  I came across a smoking good deal and was finally able to put his room together.  I ordered pictures of him from a company that does canvas pictures and they were 85% off.  I couldn't resist ordering Gage's pictures now. 

The wall with changing table before picture.  No judging the table is still a work in progress.

These are two pictures of Gage right after he was born and his footprints.

The saying I found on pinterest.  It says "On a typical spring day at 4:09 in the afternoon on 05 16 2013 they placed a 6lb, 10oz miracle in our arms.  One week early, and only 1 1/2 hours after arriving at the hospital He was perfect.  We named him Gage Stephen." The top picture is the first picture we took of Gage and the bottom is later that evening.

The final product. 



The pictures turned out perfect and his room is just how I wanted it.  I love it!!!  Now I guess it is time to put him in his room.  I will miss having him next to the bed and listening to his noises.

4th of July Celebration

For the 4th of July we went camping to our favorite spot.  Kyle had both the 4th and the 5th off so off we went.  I was excited to finally use the blanket I made for July.  We had a really good time.  We met up with some friends at Brianhead to watch the fireworks.  We heard they were really good and they really were.  Probably the best show I have seen.  I was in the truck with Gage cuz he was hungry so we missed out on being outside in the rain and I guess the lightning was really cool with the fireworks too.  It was nice to get out of town and hang out with some friends.

All dressed up for the 4th.  This is also the first pictures of him smiling on camera.  Such a cutie!

It was cold so he was wrapped up in the blanket and I put a rag around his head to keep him warm.

Waiting for it to get dark enough for the show.

We hope to be camping again and close enough to drive to Brianhead cuz they had a really good show.  We were surprised how many people actually came.

First Camping Trip

This past weekend we went camping to our favorite spot.  We have always had the place pretty much to ourselves but this year there was a huge family reunion going on, an archery thing, we had 5 other trailers behind our camp spot and still more people coming in.  It was crazy how busy it was.  We wanted to take Gage camping to see if he will like it and we wanted to get wood for the winter too.  Kyle worked his butt off getting the wood by himself.  Gage did really well.  He actually took naps.  Must be something about that mountain air.

Gage wasn't quite sure if he wanted to go camping when we first got there.

He went to his happy place =)

He finally decided it wasn't so bad to be camping.

Chillin in his crib.

 

The dogs did go with us and at one point I some how offended Jaxsen.  He was drooling really bad and I didn't want him up on the bench so I told him no.  He went to bed and I had to convince him to come out and when he did he went and sat behind this garbage bag.  It was funny but I did feel bad that I hurt hid feelings. 



We had a great time camping.  We weren't able to have a fire so we spent most of our time in the trailer.  It was a little windy too but when our friends Brandon and Lindsey showed up the wind calmed down enough for us all to hang outside.  We can't wait to go again.

Month Old

Time is going by way too fast for me.  Gage is already a month old!  He has changed so much.  He gets cuter every day.  His Aunt Carrie came to visit so we had to snap a picture of them together.

Out cold thanks to his Aunt Carrie.

Gage posing for me on the couch =)   He is such a good baby.  I can't imagine life without him now!  We are truly blessed to have him part of our family.  Now if we can just convince the dogs that he is a good addition.

When we took Gage to his 2 week appointment he weighed only 6 pounds 3 ounces which put him in the 3rd percentile.  His height was 20 inches which was the 25th percentile and his head was 14 which was the 21st percentile.  He only gained 3 ounces and that was not enough.  He started him on formula hoping he will gain weight.  I took him back a week later and he was 6 pounds 14 ounces. WAHOO! He gained weight.  I felt so much better.

Tuacahn 2013

It was time for the annual girls get together for Tuacahn and staying at the condo.  This year tho Gage was the first boy to crash the all girl party.  He seemed to have a good time and everyone was loving on him.  We went to the pool and Gage just hung out by the pool.  He hasn't been outside much but he was pretty content and slept the whole time.

Chillin by the pool with grandma holding him.

The girls having a good time in the pool.

Kyle wanted some pictures of his son morning and night and this is one of the night time pictures.

Grandma holding Gage.

We had a great time.  Everyone but Gage and I went to Mary Poppins.  They said they liked the show but the wind was kinda annoying.  We went shopping and out to dinner and met up with our Aunt Faye.  I'm glad we get together every year.  It is nice to just hang out with the girls sometimes.

Gage

We had these pictures taken the day after Gage was born.  The company came to the hospital and they did an excellent job.  We LOVE our baby boy!
