Trey is almost 10 weeks old now. He is getting so big. He needs to slow down and not grow up so fast. We are loving it though. He is smiling more and more and is starting to tell us stories. He loves to talk.
We had Trey blessed this last Sunday. Josh did an amazing job. I love them both so much. I am so grateful to have the priesthood in my home. Trey did an amazing job too. I was so nervous that he would cry the entire time, but he was as quiet as could be. Thanks so much to everyone who came. We loved having our families there with us.We were playing at mom's house the other day and got this picture. I think Trey looks like a little angel with the way the light is shining on him.

Sometimes I feel like I have a bipolar child. He goes from the happiest kid alive to the grouchiest kid alive in no time at all. And then its back to smiling in no time. As much as I hate when he cries, he can pull some really cute sad faces. Sometimes I can't help but laugh at them. They can be so funny. Trey got this cute little hat and a matching blanket from one of Josh's neighbors. It is so cute. We decided to put it on him one night when we went out. When we put it on, it was on his forehead, but by the time we made it upstairs, this is how it was. We pulled it up a few times and it just kept sliding down to his nose. We thought it was really cute, and he didn't seem to mind, so we left it there.

Our house is coming along. We finally have sheetrock done and have been working on the trim around the doors and baseboards. We are now getting ready to paint. Choosing a color is HARD!!!! We have one the we really like the color of it, but we are afraid it is to dark to put all over the house. So, we have another lighter color. I really like the darker one, but I am nervous to do it, so we will probably go with the lighter one. There are so many decisions now. It is getting closer and closer to being done though. :)
Mom and dad are redoing their house. It's kind of fun to go through it all with them, but it is frustrating because the started so much later than us and they are already ahead of us. They are painting already. But I guess that's what we get for doing a lot of it ourselves.

I go back to work in a week and a half. I am so sad to leave my baby, but I am so glad that he will be well taken care of. Josh will be watching him one day and then Josh's mom will have him the other 2 days. It is so nice to have family close by that is so willing to help out. Trey is colic-y at night and I am nervous about having to get up early for work. It hasn't been too bad yet, because I can sleep-in in the mornings, but when I have to get up early... I hope I don't get too tired.

Be happy

I love this picture of Trey. It always makes me smile!!!
He is so cute!!!

What we've been up to

Our Baby is a month old now. I can't believe how the time flies. He is such a sweet little guy and is getting more and more personality. He loves his binky. He is sleeping pretty good at night now. He weighs about 9 pounds- growing like a weed. Here are some recent pictures of the little guy...Here he is with the blanket that Great-Grandma Cox made him. Great Grandma's really are great!!! And Trey is lucky to have 2 that he will get to know :)I asked Josh to watch Trey while I did something in the other room a few days ago and when I came back, they were all asleep. Trey LOVES his carseat and falls asleep when we put him in it.

We've also been super busy working on the house. We passed our 4-way inspection and are working on insulation now. Sheetrock will come in the next couple weeks and meanwhile we'll be busy picking out paint, flooring, cabinets, etc. Here is the house... the outside is getting closer and closer. Just a few things left for final inspection (the stairs, the driveway, the deck)I think the insuletion makes it look a lot different. Here is the kitchen and mud room.This will be our master bedroom. I can't wait to see everything with the sheet rock done.
Any suggestions on colors or flooring or cabinets or anything else?

Trey

On January 7, 2010 we had our first addition to our family. Trey Joshua Falslev was born at 7:47 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 19.5 inches long. He is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. We love him so much and are so happy that he is a part of our family.Our first family picture. The labor wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I am definitely grateful for epidurals. :)Getting his footprints done.
Getting ready to leave the hospital. He is so little that his clothes are huge on him.
Our first night home. That was quite a shock. He was up ALL night. In the last week he has gotten better at sleeping at night and if he is awake, he lies in bed without fussing. He only wakes up to eat (for now).Trey had his first dr visit to check his weight and check for jaundice. Everything looked great. He was down to 7 lbs 10 oz but is doing great.Another new pair of jammies. They look so warm and cozy and are so soft.He is starting to open his eyes more and more and starting to focus on things better. Someone said the other day that they can't wait for him to grow up a little and start to smile and interact more... Not me. I want him to stay small. I love just holding him and staring at him. I know he will grow up so fast, but I want to enjoy each stage as it takes place. They will all pass way to fast.
Its truly amazing how much you can love someone that just barely enters your life and how much you would do for them. Josh and I were talking the other night and said that it just gives you a small glimpse of what Heavenly Father feels for the Savior or even what he feels for all of us. I am so grateful that he sent me this little guy.

Coming along

Our house is coming along really well. We got our stucco all finished this week. We LOVE how it turned out. It was a little different than we had in mind, but isn't everything we've done so far.Here is the stucco on the back of the house. And obviously, the front of the house.
The roofers are almost done with the shingles and then we have to do soffets, fascia, run gutters, etc. Who knew there was so much that went into a house. But we are getting closer and closer to having the entire outside finished!!!! We are so excited with how it is turning out.

Another thing that is coming along is my pregnancy. We are getting more and more ready for the little guy, but there is still so much to get ready. I have some great family and friends that gave me some showers. I realized the other day that I don't have any pictures of my pregnant belly, so we decided to take one after my shower that my friends threw me. Here I am at 32 weeks. I have to say that I have the greatest friends ever. My friend, Camie, came all the way from Idaho for my shower. I saw friends I haven't seen in years. It was so much fun. I love them all so much. Honestly, the best part was just being able to be with them and talk and laugh until we cried.
My mother-in-law threw me another shower on Saturday. Josh's family is great. They came all the way from Logan in a snow-storm just for the shower. We had lots of fun with them too.
My mom/sisters all threw me another shower on Tuesday. It was so much fun. Its always great to see family that we don't see very often. My sisters (sister-in-law included) all did great on the shower. They had the cutest decorations ever. They all did a great job with the showers. Thanks so much to everyone who came. It was great to see everyone. And thanks for everyone who threw the showers for me and put all that hard work into them. It was greatly appreciated by myself, Josh, and our little guy.

Babies, Windows, and Bricks

On the 30th of October we had another appt to check out our little guy. He is doing so good. It is so much fun to see him on the ultrasound. I am getting so excited but super nervous. YIKES!!! We don't have a single thing ready for the little guy. Hopefully we can start deciding on some names and important items (ie: a crib, a carseat, etc.) It has been so much fun to feel him kick, although some of his kicks are starting to hurt. And I am so tired of having to go to the bathroom all the time. I swear, I can go and by the time I wash my hands and walk out, I need to go again. It is so annoying. But I guess that is part of being pregnant. Its been so much fun to have Josh feel him kick.
The house is coming along. We spent Halloween day putting windows in. I think they turned out great. Yesterday our brickers came and started to lay the brick. We were a little nervous about the color. It is so hard to know what you are getting because so many things play into it. The lighting, the mortar color, etc. So we went and looked at some samples and picked out 3 we liked. But when we got the smaller samples home, they didn't look anything like the bigger samples at the place. So, we looked at some pictures we had taken of the bigger samples and they didn't look like the smaller ones or the big ones in real life. YIKES!!! We decided on a color called Summer Storm and called the bricker to let him know. Then, the second thoughts started... did we pick the right one? Would we like it? Is it going to match the stucco we want? Josh was up all night worried that we didn't pick the right color. So after thinking about it, we decided that we would stick with our choice and that it would look good no matter what color we picked. I am so happy that we stuck with the Summer Storm. I LOVE it. I think it is turning out great. Here's a little preview (They won't finish until the end of this week or beginning of next).I know they aren't the greatest pictures, but I was really happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to see the completed thing.

house update

With Josh working a ton of overtime and not having much time to work on the house we decided to hire out the rest of the framing. Its been really exciting to see our house take shape. Here are a few pictures of it coming along.
Here is the front of our house. It's not completely done yet. There is still a roof that goes over the porch, but they have started it. Grandpa told us when we were doing the second floor that the house was going to be so tall that we would have to put a red flashing light on top of it so that the airplanes wouldn't hit it. If you enlarge the pictures from the front of the house and the back of the house, there is a red flag on the very top of one of the trusses. That will have to do to keep the airplanes away for now :)
Here is the back of the house.
This is the entry way from the inside looking out.
This is the inside of the bonus room above the garage. We aren't sure what we are doing in this room yet, but figured we might as well put it there. Otherwise, its just a waste of space.

Hopefully everything will continue to go well and we can get the outside in before it gets too cold.
