A GREAT Weekend!

I am finally feeling better and I am so glad! We had a great weekend and looking back I would not have wanted to miss a second of it.
First, here is the picture I promised of Trevor wearing his "Best Friends" bracelet that I made him with what I could find laying around the house.


Sometimes he thinks he is some kind of super hero or something and dresses like this and thinks it is super cool. I was thinking more along the lines of super freak :) Note the upside down glasses squishing his nose...

On Saturday we took Trevor to a new playground in town at the new sports complex. It was completely empty so we had the whole place to ourselves. We quickly found out why-it was blazing hot. We only stayed for about 45 minutes. Trevor's favorite thing by far was climbing this rock wall. No matter what, he kept going back to it.
A little break for a "cheese" shot! (Sorry about the quality of the pic...I just realized I accidentally saved it on film grain mode.)
Today we went to church and Trevor was soooo excited to "go to school" that as soon as I got him up he was ready to get dressed and help pack his backpack, he was mad when I told him we weren't leaving for a few hours. After church we decided to keep our activities inside due to the heat and we took Trevor bowling for the first time. He had a blast! Here are Trevor and Steve waiting to see how many pins Trevor is going to knock down.

Here he is ready to go! You will have to excuse the pink ball-it is the one the guy gave me and I didn't want to be picky and ask for a different color. Trevor didn't seem to mind; he was just happy to be bowling! And aren't bowling shoes on a person that small just adorable?!
Doesn't he look like he had a good time?! He was upset to be done but I told him we can go again very soon and that seemed to make it better. I think I will take him again and let him bowl all by himself.After bowling it was time to head over to Steve's office and gym. Right inside the doors there is this big, old firehouse switchboard. It never fails that if we go by, Trevor has to pick up every phone and say "Hello, hello?! 911! Emergency!" and today he added "Moderation"....yeah, not sure what that was supposed to mean! :)
Then we rounded the corner and came upon this beast....since Maria posted her spider pics, I figured why not post mine?! I took the picture to show Steve because he walked there right before us and didn't say anything, so I wanted him to see what he walked by.We had quite a weekend! And we plan on doing some more fun stuff next weekend before my surgery. I am scheduled for Tuesday, September 1. I am praying to stay healthy until then so I can just get it over with. We have to drive up on Wednesday for the pre-op and then I should be good to go for Tuesday. Though it is a very common procedure, please keep us in your prayers, especially that I can just be able to get it done and over with. And it is going to be a tough few days for Trevor with me probably being in pain and not wanting to talk much. Thankfully, Steve is able to take leave and be home that week to help with Trevor.
So this got super long, but I hope you enjoy the pictures! Until next time.....

Over a Month...

I know it's already been over a month since I put anything on here. I have been having some issues that you all probably already know about. I am finally starting to feel better, thank God. I was feeling pretty lousy for a while and spent a week on the couch, mostly feeling like a crappy mom since I couldn't do anything. But things are looking up and I am feeling a little better everyday.
Trevor has been a pretty good little trooper through it all though and I am thankful that he behaved as well as he did for that long without much attention. He is quite the character and he challenges me everyday, usually several times a day :) But overall he is a pretty good kid. Everyday he says something so off the wall that he has me cracking up. I always wish I could rewind and record. His newest and sweetest thing for the last 3 days is saying that I am his best friend....so sweet. We watched Dora this morning and it was Friendship Day and Dora gave him a bracelet so he looked at me and said, "Mommy, you my best friend! Make me a bracelet!" So I did. I have a pic of him wearing it and I will get it on here tomorrow at some point. Right now I need to get to bed. Just wanted to do a quick update in case anyone is still checking this thing!
