Two small arms to hold you tight, two small feet to run, two small eyes full of love for you, three small sons.

9 Year Anniversary

 I'm grumpy about how this post ended up..not the pics I wanted and one is stinkin sideways...UGH!  Anywho....happy face now.  Matt surprised me on our anniversary last Wed. after work.  His mom and Nana came to town to watch our kiddos so we could have a big night out in.......Rogers!!  That may not sound exciting but let me tell you it was.  A night in ANY hotel is a vacation for me.  He brought home a convertible Jaguar for us to ride in.  It felt like such a lie..pulling away from our garage with our minivan in it.  I felt like I needed to explain to people at stoplights that this was NOT our car and we have two small children and minivan!  Ok, maybe it was a little fun. :)
 We checked in our hotel Aloft.  Super swanky.  We walked in and it was a stinkin party in there.  DJ and all.  At first I thought the after work Rogers crowd really knew how to get it on but soon found out that it was the hotels 3rd anniversary/birthday. 
 Then we headed to Ruth's Chris for dinner.  Super good as always.  My hair did not fair well with the top down on the car on the interstate.
 The pic from the waiter.  If you tell them its your anniversary you get rose petals on your table and a dessert.  As far as I'm concerned you could technically have an anniversary for several things.  Ha Just kidding!
Thought I would throw this in there.  Hard to see...this is Matt and I the night we got engaged in Gulf Shores.  I showed Trenton and he didn't know who those people were!  We were just kiddos!

Catching up! More bday pics..

 Here are the rest of the pics from Trev's 1st bday party.  Above-my sis Jennifer and her boy, Will.  He is a chunk of love.  He is so sweet and going to be a bruiser!
 Birthday boy!
 Some of the party animals..  Flint, Rebecca, and the side of cute Cilla's face.  Chris, Jenna, Brody (on Mamma) and big boy Brayden in his own chair! 
 Sheena with her babes, Sloan and Weslynn.  The other daughter, Taylor must have been busy swimming or something.  Yes, she has 3 beautiful girls!
 My other sis, Tammy and cousin Cam, Jenny and Willie again, and Tom and Stella.
 Josh and Bro Bro (I'm sorry I must call him this for some reason-sorry Brody, I can't help myself).
 Trev in the sink getting cleaned up after cake smashing.   Looks like he's saying "oh my!!"  
 Trevor 1 week later on his acutal birthday.  Pretty low key day.  Matt out of town all that week.  Trev was not all smiles this day.  He came down with a virus which included HIGH fever and extreme CLINGINESS.  I would be clinging to my mama if I felt that way too I guess.  Went to Dr. 2 times because I was sure he had and infection somewhere but found nothing.  Took 1 week to get back to "normal".  I 'm so happy to have my old Trev back---I was starting to worry that he was gone forever! :)
I completely staged this pose.  He still does not pull up on his own (he does to his knees but that's it).  He can stand unassisted for a little bit but I don't leave him but just for a few seconds.  I say that he is laid back but I think the kid is just plain lazy!  Such a different child than Trenton-who was walking, I mean running by himself and 10 1/2 months.  I must say Trev is a much easier child. 
Trevor threw his first fit 2 days ago.  He was trying to open the lid on a toy and couldn't get it.  He let out a loud squeel and clenched his fists and kicked his legs.  Here we go.....:)

Trevor's Fish Swim Party

 Our little fish turned ONE yesterday!  He celebrated by getting a cold....I know, seriously who gets a cold in June-my kid, that's who.  He moved up to a new room at daycare last week so I'm blaming it on that I guess.  Good thing he was happy and well at his bday party last weekend. 
 So these pics are a little out of order but you know the whole cake routine.  He loved making a mess, only took a few bites though.
 Woooooo cake!

 The beginning pic...all clean.

 Trenton and Jack-crazy boys.
 Trenton LOVES him some frosting!
 Yeah for cake!

 Party favors-water bottles.
 Pre party sippie--gotta get hydrated before the big party.
 Yummy cupcakes!
I have more pics on my camera...soon!

Destin (again..)

 This is the last batch of beach pictures. Matt's mom (Trev and Trent's BB) was down there at the same time-her 2 sisters, and son and daughter (Matt's bro and sis) live down there...yes I said LIVE, no fair!
 Trenton booking it through the fountains at Destin Commons.
 Love cousin Tyler in the backgound.
 Hmmmm. still not sure Tyler?
 Reagan and Trenton showing off their balloon animals.  Awesome "ballon animal maker" at Fudpuckers.  Great entertainment while waiting for food!
 Had to make a trip to The Track.  They loved it when the airplane went up.
 Looking at the picture I can't believe I let my baby get in a go cart with this maniac.
 This is Trenton in the swings right after he turned 2yo.
 A little cornier 2 years later.
 This ride made me sick to even watch.  Gunshy Tyler actually wanted his own cart...lets just say the ride got stopped and Tyler didn't ride another ride the rest of the evening.
 Michelle and I stopping for an adult photo pic...where are the kids?!  Oh, riding the train of course.
Cutie Trev....in desperate need of his first haircut.  I was so excited to find the shark shirt while we were down there.  They matched his shark shoes he already had!   Those are the kinds of things that make my day...I know I know.

Destin Part II

More pics from Destin...

 Michelle and lil surfer girl.  The kids (and dads) had a blast riding the waves.
 The waves chasing Trenton.
 My favorite part of the morning.  Trev napping!  The sound of the waves would knock him out for his am nap.  Trenton would have NEVER have done this as a baby.
 Yeah!  I'm awake and we're still at the ocean!
 Rea Rea, Trev, and Trenton.  Time for a gogurt break.  Sorry Trevor, you cannot be trusted with one of those yet.
 This actually happend.  Not staged.
 Look at those eyes..
 Trenton mid sentence...probably asking me for gummies (at 8:30 in the morning-anything goes on vacation)
 Trevor the jailbird.
Pretty Reagan
