Colorado Trip-More to Come Later...

Finally I am updating with some pics from our trip to Colorado Springs for the Firefighter Combat Challenge.
Here is Trevor and Steve at Falcon Stadium at the Air Force Academy.
Trevor getting ready to do the kids challenge. He did awesome and if I can get the video to work on here, I definitely will post it tonight.
Trevor congratulating daddy for winning a medal. He enjoyed a strawberry sno-cone and was red for a couple days.

Trevor was not happy because he didn't like grandma taking his picture. This was on our mini-hike to the chapel...pic of chapel is coming later.

Trevor got up close and personal with this giraffe.

Backyard Fun

Well, as some of you know, we had our backyard hydro-seeded so we could finally have a nice fenced in yard for Trevor to play in. It has finally all grown in and it is looking good.
I mowed it today for Steve. He was gonna do it when he got home from work, but I decided to be a good wife and surprise him. He appreciated it, but then told me to mow a certain way...men!
Anyway, after I mowed I decided to get Trevor's pool out. I had to go with the small one because we don't have a pump and I really didn't want Trevor to watch mommy pass out from lack of oxygen :)
He was so happy and made me get the toys that go with his other pool so he would have some stuff to play with.
This is his fish face...pretty good one!

And this is his CHEEEESE face....the head tilt is an ever present thing in all his good smile pics.

He decided to try his goggles on and though he didn't get them on very well (hence the bent ear), he looked very cute in them!

I think that the pool had him pretty well worn out. He took a good nap and then bugged daddy until he went to bed-yes he goes to bed BEFORE Trevor does :) About an hour before bed, Trevor said: "Mommy cover me up. Me sleep on floor. Really really sleepy" and he snored.

He is a real goofball and a real turd. He is making me crack up one minute and making me wish I drank the next.

I guess that is how they are supposed to be when they are 2 and trying to figure out this crazy world we live in....

The Baby

I have been horrible about taking pics lately, but here are a couple from the last 2 weeks.
We went shopping for a birthday present for a little girl and I stopped to look at dolls. Trevor said, "Me want doll mommy!" I said, "Are you sure? Dolls are usually toys for girls." He said, "Please please please mommy! Me want doll too!" So I got him one that looks more like a boy. He is always saying, "Awww...Hi baby!" when he sees his doll.
He is happy to have a real baby instead of calling his Pillsbury Doughboy his baby all the time!
I recently discovered that Trevor loves bacon, Particularly the kind that you just heat in the microwave. I think he would eat a whole package if I allowed it.

Nothing really exciting has been happening. Mothers Day was good. I ended up with a puppy that we ultimately had to give to one of Steve's friends. I felt bad because Steve put alot of thought into it since he knew how much I miss Dakota, and he really liked the puppy he chose.

Our anniversary is coming up on Monday...7 years already!

Alright Captain!

The blog is back with just a few pictures.
I have been doing this Barry's Bootcamp workout and Trevor loves the "ball", really an oval, that came with it. I am just scared of a busted head from him rolling over it.
The early signs of cross dressing....Just kidding. What kid doesn't love wearing their parents shoes?! He thought he was so cute trying my shoes on.

Steve didn't have to work on Friday, so we all went to see Earth. Trevor was really excited to see it. For his first theater movie, he did really good in there. The movie was good with great footage of the land and animals and we all learned something. Here is Trevor getting ready for the movie to start.

We have been pretty busy but haven't taken any pics-nothing exciting. Some old friends moved in down the street and we have been hanging out with them a lot. We might have some pics by the end of the week.

On another note, Trevor has been saying some pretty funny stuff lately.

We were cleaning the house and I was putting away some old toys, for the millionth time (he keeps getting them out of the closet). This is how our conversation went...

"These toys need to stay in the closet, that way if you ever has a brother or sister, the toys will still be good."

Trevor: "Me want sister! Sister sister sister!"

Me: "Maybe someday buddy."

Trevor:"Have girlfriend, mommy"

Me: "Who has a girlfriend? You?"

Trevor: "No, daddy has girlfriend."

Me: "Oh he does, does he?!" "Daddy, is there anything you want to tell me? Trevor just told on you for having a girlfriend!"

Steve: "Trevor, I told you not to tell mommy!"

Trevor just laughed and thought it was hilarious.

Another instance....I was getting ready to read to Trevor before bed and he was just poking around.

Me: "Trevor are you ready for your bedtime stories?"

Trevor: "Not yet!"

Me: "Wrong answer. It is getting late we need to read now."

Trevor: "ALRIGHT CAPTAIN"........with a salute and all!

I cracked up and he thought he was pretty funny too!

Easter....Sorry so late

Here are the Easter pics (and a couple others) that I have been promising.

Trevor got to do a bunny project the weekend before Easter and was so happy that he got to help me glue things together. He decided he wanted to color them all, even ours, and then he told us over and over who's bunny was who's.

I got Trevor some new shoes at Target and he was so excited. He wanted to "Wear them home now, Mommy" when I tried them on him in the store. He thought he was pretty cool when he showed them to daddy. He put them on and said "Take picture mommy. Me stand on wall."

On Easter morning when Trevor woke up, I had a treasure hunt ready for him to find his special present that the Easter bunny left for him. He did a really good job and was really excited about his new Mickey jammies.

Unfortunately Steve got called in to work so we didn't get to go to the Easter service at church. We had just enough time to do the egg hunt before Daddy had to get ready to leave. Trevor did really good and he only got stumped when we got down to the very last egg-I hid it behind the tire of daddy's truck...so it was hard!

Here is a cute pic of him with one of the eggs he found.

He was totally ready to come in and see what was inside the eggs. You can see the piece of candy that fell out of this one. There were also some coins and tattoos in a couple of them.

I have more pics from the last couple weeks that I might post if I have time at some point this week....I am not promising anything, so don't hold your breath.

Easter Pics are Coming

We finally got around to getting a tiller to re-do our backyard and time has really gotten away from me. I was overly tired for a few days from all the work outside,so much so that I have not done anything lately-I didn't even go to work for a couple days.
I do have some Easter pics that I will be getting up before the weekend is over-I promise!

Happy, Sad, then Happy Again

I know it's been forever again but here are some pics from the past couple weeks.
Trevor was really happy because he got some tattoo's. He thought he was so cool and kept showing all of us his "awesome tattoo's".
The next day we had to take Papa to the airport. Trevor did not want Papa to leave. He kept saying "No no no leave Papa...please please please!" It is a super small airport so we got to watch Papa go through security and could see him after.
Trevor: Looking up at me so sweetly, tugging my hand "Come on mommy, go see Papa."
Me: "We can't go in there honey because it is only for people getting on the plane."
*I am sure you can guess what came next....
Trevor: "Me go on plane too Mommy!"
Me: "We can't buddy. Papa has to go home to see Grandma Nay-Nay and go back to work."
Trevor: "Ohhh noooo (with such a sad look in his eyes)...Papa no go home. Me say bye bye to him..." Yelling, "BYE BYE PAPA! I LOVE YOU...SEE YA SOON!" and he blows a kiss. And part of me just wanted to cry because he is such a little man with feelings. Here is a pic before Papa went through security. To this day he still calls the guest room "Papa's Room!"
The next day we made oatmeal cookies to make Trevor feel better about Papa leaving. He had a really good time-mostly because he kept eating the chocolate chips! :)

This kid loves to talk on the phone. Anyone, anytime...he doesn't care. He is always saying, "Me talk, me say Hi!" He was talking to Grandma Jan in this pic.

I decided to buy Trevor a game that we can play together and Hungry Hungry Hippos seemed like the best choice. He LOVED it and for a while he actually played halfway right. But I think his favorite part after a while was counting the marbles.

I always say it, but I will try to update once a week. Sometimes I just don't have much to report.

But Trevor is getting smarter everyday. He is always saying new things, a lot of funny things, and he always surprises us. He has a little attitude on him and is pretty mean sometimes. Hopefully it is a 2 year old thing and will start to pass as time goes on....God willing!
