Catchin' Up!

The handsome Hardman boys!

So I thought it would be a good idea to update everyone on what has been going on with the Hardman's since I kinda dropped out of the blogging world for a while there, so here are some long overdue pics of our sweet little Trevor John. He was born on August first in the wee hours of the morning. If I could describe him in one word it would be delightful. He is just delightful. We love him to pieces! Two kids is definitely a crazy adventure especially when they are boys - but I am loving and trying to keep up with every minute.

Carter affectionally calls him "Trebs" (he can't quite say his v's yet - which is adorable) and the name has stuck - we love our jolly little Trebs! Carter enjoys being the big brother but does have a tendancy to randomly whack him from time to time for no apparent reason. This doesn't seem to phase Trev for some reason he usually laughs and smiles at him - even though it ticks my off! Well here are some catch up pics and I will do another post soon with some recent stuff. Better late than never right?!

This is the sleepy eyed mommy at 4:35 am - I think I was pretty much delirious at this point but happy. Cute little Trevor - we still don't know what color his eyes are - they are like dark blueish brownish grayish. I have no idea what he will put on his future drivers license. They are dark and beautiful though.

Here he is right after he was born. Such a precious!

Baby BOY!

Hello all,
We just found out today that we are having a baby BOY! We are excited and know that Carter will LOVE having a brother to play with. The ultra sound went well and they say he looks just perfect - that is what we like to hear! Just wanted to share our happy news.

NO MORE SICKNESS!!

Ok, so some of you that check our blog regularly have probably been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth or something, but in fact I did not. I have just been dealing with pregnancy sickies as well as a sick husband, child, and then myself getting a cold lasting for almost 3 weeks! YUCK! I am sure a lot of you have been dealing with the same yucky stuff. I am happy to report that all of us in the Hardman house are feeling better and that so far since I am past the first trimester now - the pregnancy sickies are starting to ease up a bit too.
Stay tuned for more updates and photos coming soon......

Big Brother Carter!

We are excited to announce that we are having another baby in mid-August! We just told our families this week for Christmas and now we are sharing our little secret with everyone! :)
We know that Carter will love having a friend at our house and we can't wait to find out if it is a brother or a sister! We will keep everyone posted with that happy news in a few more months!

Carter's Tree

We got Carter a cute little tree for his room. This is a cute little video of after we got it set up and plugged it in for the first time. His reaction is just so dang cute. Enjoy!

Gingerbread House Fun

Every year we get together with the Hardman Family and make Gingerbread houses. It is so much fun. This was Carter's first experience with this and he liked the candy a LOT. He didn't get the concept that you stick the candy on the house - and then you LEAVE it there. Every time we would help him put one on he would pull it off and eat it. It was hilarious. So we decided to start decorating him instead. :)

Here I am attempting to show my little son how it works and there he is shoving more candy in his mouth behind me. :)

Dave then attempted and we got him to stick a candy cane on top (after it had been sucked on of course)....did I mention how much he enjoyed the candy?

Now, my Dave is serious about his gingerbread houses. He has had some pretty impressive ones over the years. But this one I think topped the list. He worked forever on window shutters, doors, built on an entire chimney made out of candy rocks and even put our whole little gingerbread family inside with a christmas tree. Way to go babe. You are a genius!

Here is the backside of the finished product. Isn't the chimney so cool?

Not a Fan of the Jolly Man

Carter has sat on 2 Santa's laps so far this year and has hated every minute of it! I would try to prep him in line and say things like "Look there's Santa, he is so nice, look at his soft white beard, he wants you to sit on his lap and give him a hug" etc. etc. But every time I sat him on Santa's lap he would burst into tears. He was the ONLY child at our ward Christmas breakfast with Santa that cried on Santa's lap. But I think it is kind of hilarious to have these funny pictures to show him later in life though. How could anyone be afraid of such a jolly man? Maybe next year he'll do better......
