This is a picture that was taken of Grayson, Dain and Mollie on our hike down to Cedar Falls on Petit Jean Mountain. LOVE IT!!!!

It's been a minute or two...

First Weekend of Spring 2011

It's hard to believe we have a 20 month old! He is getting so big and independent!! Before I know it, we'll be planning birthday party #2!

5 months!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 5 months old. Time is flying by and I can't seem to slow it down!!! We had Grayson's 5 month pictures taken the first weekend of December. The little stinker is such a great baby and so relaxed. He is so easy going and doesnt get excited too much. He rolled over for the first time during the photo shoot!!! What a great place to be!!! Dain wasn't with us so he got to see it in the pictures. Here are the 5 month pictures and Christmas portraits of our beautiful boy!!

Halloween 2009

This is me and Grayson at Trunk or Treat at our church. He was dressed as a frog for his first halloween. 16 weeks old.

Grayson's Newborn pictures

Here are some of the newborn pictures that were taken when Grayson was about 5 weeks old. These were taken by Amber Walker. She does wonderful work!!!

Grayson Dain Carver

Grayson Dain Carver was born on 07-08-09 at 12:35pm weighing in at 8 lbs 8 ozs and 21 3/4 inches long! He is the most precious thing in this whole world! I love him more than words can express!

36 Weeks!!!!!

First - It's been a LONG time since I've posted. There's not much going on except for growing this baby! =)

I am 36 weeks today! I wasn't aware the doctors office had been going by July 13 as my due date all of this time, instead of July 9th like I thought. =(. Oh well...it's 4 more days...who's counting really?!! ME!!! LOL! My next doctors appt is this coming Thursday and from here on out I'll be going every week. I've been told that he'll more than likely take him about a week early, so we're looking at somewhere around July 6th.

Here are some pictures of Dain and I at Easter, the nursery and some of our baby showers for you all. I'm also including a picture of a christmas ornament that my sister gave us for Christmas 2008. I realized I hadn't put a picture up of it yet. LOVE IT!

Dain and I - Easter 2009
I'm 27 weeks in this picture



Here's the ornament! The words 'It's baby time in 2009' are oh so true! I know of several women that have been trying for years to have babies and we're all getting babies this summer, praise the LORD!! A friend shared this verse with me yesterday and it goes right along with this:
Psalms 113:9
'He settles the barren woman in her home
as a happy mother of children.
Praise the LORD.'



The nursery pictures (so far!)

I also had some maternity pictures taken by a friend from high school. When I get the pictures I'll upload my favorites! Thanks Amber!

That's all for now. Since I'm so bad at this blog thing, I'm sure the next time you hear from me I'll be posting about the arrival of Baby Grayson. Love you all and thanks so much for the prayers. We know they have sustained us!

In Him,
