End of Summer Days

This was our church's 2nd annual event where we had inflatables, food, carnival games, a concert put on by our praise band, and a drive-in movie after dark. Trey was on the inflatables for at least 2 hours! He couldn't get enough!

Veteran's Center Picnic

We went to our local veteran's center last Saturday to hang out with Poppy and have some fun. It was a great day....and they had lots of fun stuff for kids and big kids alike. Daniel liked looking at all the cars (they had a car show) and the kids enjoyed the inflatables and making stuff in the Home Depot tent.

Trey's 3YO Checkup

This week I took Trey to the dr for his 3 year old checkup. He did great....NO SHOTS! He did get the flu mist, so he wasn't too excited about that! He weighed in at 34.4 pounds and 39 1/2 inches tall! Those were in the 73rd %tile and 86th %tile, respectively. He grew three and a half inches this year! My boy is growing like a weed....I think he may skip wearing his 3T pants....so far the ones I have tried on are too small in length. He only wore them for about 4 months....lol....last spring. Oh well. I have to go shopping now.

Thank You for the Music........

The girls and I went to see an ABBA cover band...which was fabulous! We had the best time with friends....I think we all sang the loudest!

Trey's 3 Yr Old Pictures

Doesn't he look handsome! He sure has grown!

First Day of School!

The first day of school was a complete success for everyone! I didn't have to tell anyone but Trey it was time to get up....must have been the excitement and nerves waking everyone up! Lily loves her 2nd grade teacher, who happens to be the wife of Meghan's former 6th grade SS teacher. Meghan is loving 7th grade and her team....she seems to have some really nice teachers (according to her) and I can't wait to meet them at open house. Trey did great on his first day back at daycare. He didn't cry, even though he told me he "18 more minutes, Mommy"....I am assuming he was telling me he wasn't quite ready...although not sure where he came up with 18 minutes. His teachers were there to help him feel welcome once again (we had already been on a visit last week) and he gave me a kiss with no tears....from him or me! Overall a great start to the school year.....now lets see how well we all get up tomorrow!

13 Years Ago Today......

Happy 13th Anniversary, baby! I love you! xoxo (*amazing how young we looked)

Trey-isms

While in WV, he saw a mirror and peeked at himself:

Trey: "There's Trey's head!"....pauses a moment to think...."Let's keep it on!"


Last night, while we were watching the ballet in the park, Trey made this comment.....

Trey: "Mommy, everyone needs to be quiet...Trey is trying to sleep!"


Trey is big into speaking about himself in the 3rd person....he can be so funny!

Green Day aka Birthday Party

We had Trey's birthday party a little early b/c we were leaving for our camping trip and wouldn't be back until right before his actual birthday. He decided he wanted a green party (his favorite color). That was pretty easy for me, so we asked that everyone wear green and I had found a picture online on how to do his cake. I wanted something easy to serve, so decided on cupcakes, but needed a "theme" for the cake. Googled alligator and found the cutest picture. I couldn't find any instructions, just a picture, but I am pretty excited about how well his crocodile cake came out. He was so excited since he is slightly obsessed with crocodiles! Definitely my best cake to date! Enjoy the pics!

Back Online!

We are finally back online! Our computer basically died about two weeks ago and then we went camping, so I had to wait until this week to figure things out. I had a PC repair guy come and look at the computer....basically he said the motherboard was dead. Well that was not welcome news. We had to go buy another one. I cannot live without my computer....I use it to communicate, write lesson plans, and just like to have all that knowledge out there at my fingertips! We got a Dell and I got it put together yesterday, so we are back. I will hopefully post about our camping trip tonight....after Meghan's ballet performance in the park. If you are in town, come check it out! They are doing Aladdin this year! Only two more nights.....starts at 8pm. :)
