Tammy's Wedding and more....

Ok, so here are the pics I have on my camera from Tam's wedding. Not very many sorry, got kinda busy and relied on others for the other pics. Also, are some pics for the NWA Naturals game last week. It was our first time and I'm sure we'll be back, lots of fun. And the last pic is all of us dressed up for the Invitational Golf Tourn. dinner/dance. Whoa did we dance to some Molton Lava baby! I love 80's music.

Rachel used to work for a florist/giftshop in college so she can do some amazing flowers! She did all the flowers for the wedding. Nice to have someone like that in the fam!! See the rhinestones?

We made these cups of flowers to throw at them when they left.

We all went to get mani/pedi's that morning. So fun being a girl!

Even Reagan got hers done. Her daddy is not too happy with that "can of worms" being opened.

At the Naturals game. Number 1 !!

Yummy hotdog.

Trenton went down to see the mascot because he thought it was a monkey. It was in fact NOT a monkey. He's looking at me like "mom, why didn't you tell me it was a hairy monster thingie?"

Check out "the do" He goes to my bathroom and says "I want spikey"

Matt, we found your long lost brother.

The night was young..

Catching up!

So I said I was going to post pics of Tammy's big event but as you have noticed, I have not. I promise to soon. I jumped on the computer with no intention of blogging but checking up on Stellan-mycharmingkids blog. Decided to let ya'll know what we've been doing.
Suprised my friend for her 30th birthday in Conway on Sat. night. It was soooooo fun! First, T and I hit up a bday party here in Fay. at 10:00-lil Mac..Happy Birthday! Jumped in the car at noon, zipped to Conway, shopped with Aunt Jenny, helped Uncle Jon (handy manny) in the garage. Went to my party--thanks to Jen and Jon for watching the lil man. Got everyone to bed at Sara's mom's...finally. Oh! Did I mention Michelle's whole family came to town, she had a party too, guess who watched her kids? You guessed it...Jen and Jon. Sun we hopped in the car for a quick trip to the zoo. Oh, did I say quick trip? I meant to say long, muggy, hot trip, but nonetheless fun. When T couldn't stand the excitement any longer (the silver back gorilla kinda freaks me out...don't look him in the eye), we jumped back into car, soaking wet with sweat, and went back home. Trenton sleeping once again in the car (I love that he sleeps so good in the car). Get home, throw on our suits and head to the country club to watch daddy finish his tournament and get in some swimming. I'm tired all over again. Set the alarm for work the next day and hope that the laundry will do itself sometime this week!

Avery's 1st Birthday Party

Avery had her 1st birthday 2 weekends ago and it's taken me this long to post about it! We had such a great time. It was at her neighborhood pool which was perfect. Trenton had fun with his buddy Jackson (Avery's big bro) swimming. Thanks for having us !!

My little fishie!

Jackson buddy was blowing bubbles for me!

Avery looks like she is asking big bro jack how to dig into the cake. The cake was sooo cute. Her smash cake was the top layer of the whole 3 tiered cake. The other two layers were zebra and giraffe. She went to town on that thing, don't have any "messy" pics.

OOOOO...that's good!

The birthday group, Trenton wouldn't take his hands out of his mouth ???

Couldn't leave the post without one of these, yep...still doing it. So cute.

I'll post more soon of this past weekend. Tammy and Seth are married!! yeah! Big weekend here in Fay. with lots of family in town. Congratulations guys!! I'll put the pics up soon!

Bathroom shopping on the web

So, I've been thinking lately (well, more like 5 years)..I really wish we'd redo our bathroom. We have adequate space but definatley not cool. Bad tile, bad walls, soso fixtures, bad mirrors, bad lights....ok so maybe it's worse than I thought now that I write it all out. So decided to dream and look at bathrooms on the internet tonight. Check these out..

Ok, this is the layout of my tub. I'm totally getting curtains like this and a candle chandelier.

I found this picture in Country Living. Just because you live in the country doesn't mean you can't change your toothbrush every 6 months....gross.

Can I please have this bathroom!? How refreshing!

Ok, changed my mind, so much for shabby chic, bring on the glam baby! I could sleep in there!

Visit to Library

Trenton and I ventured out this morning and hit the farmer's market on the square. It was packed as usual and full of yummy and pretty things. We picked up some big blackberries and a little wooden catipillar toy ( I wouldn't have spent the money at a toystore for this little thing but I thought I would support my fellow Fayetteviller's). Trenton enjoyed the scenery from his comfy stroller and with a bag of fruity cheerios, of course.

Next, we walked down to the library for Bob Button (I think??) He played the guitar and gets the kids up and dancing and singing. Pretty entertaining really, but Trenton didn't think so....he wanted to sit on my lap and watch with a scowl. After about 15 min. he said "I'm all done" and jumped off my lap towards the door. So much for corny kid entertainment. We did puzzles and got on the computer instead.

Trenton wouldn't let me adjust these headphones to his ears, he wanted them on his cheeks!

Trenton Loves the Guitar

After swimming in the backyard tonight, Trenton ran around the house with no diaper for a while (which I guess is liberating). He loves the guitar and was mezmerized by the Dave Matthews DVD. Here he is..

Little naked boy watching Dave.

Hey mom...C'mon I'm naked!

I'm gettin outta here!

Ok....maybe one more look.

4th of July Weekend

Scroll down.....whoops!

Trenton and I headed up to my Dad's condo on Lake of the Ozarks this weekend. We suprised Dad and David and Emily (neice and nephew--Grammy's). They were excited to see us! We had a great time even though the sun made very few appearances. Trenton was worn out from all the fun! Also posting pics from Trenton's last swimming lesson...the teacher let Trenton jump in and go deep under the water and come up himself, he was not informed that this would be happening so he was initially a little shook up but got over it quickly.

Ok.....so I told Trenton to say "cheese" and he put his fingers on his cheeks again, so I told him to put his hands by his side and this is what he did! Cheerleader pose!! Hilarious!

Ok, that is better. Why is this so hard!!??

Getting ready for an early boatride/tubing. Yes, that's the cheerleader pose again.

David, Emily, and Trenton...ready to go at 8:30am!! We're trying to beat the 4th crowd, which by the way was crazy (we weren't going to boat/tube with kids when there were a million drunk people on the lake)
Trenton and I went tubing (VERY SLOWLY) against Matt's wishes...but he never looks at this blog so I thought it would be alright. A duck passed us. Dad wanted to go faster but I wouldn't let him.
On our way to the Jolly Roger to eat yummy breakfast buffet.
Trenton at Jolly Roger watching in pour! We waited it out before we headed back home.


Sporting the spiderman lifejacket.

I wanna drive Papa John!!!

Swimming at the pool. He wore himself out jumping in over and over.

Major Meltdown

I thought I would write about Trenton's major meltdown in Target today to make a few friends feel better about their past and future Target visits with their toddlers, you know who you are..
No, a child was not murdered in Target today, that was my sweet little 2yo throwing the hugest fit of his life. I attempted to leave him in the bike aisle, but that didn't seem to bother him any. I watched him from around the corner for several min and I swear I heard him mumble "thank goodness she finally left." I won't bore you with the part that happens in the middle, its basically me threatening him and me trying not to lose my composure. The story ends with me leaving my cart in the middle of target filled with my stuff with Trenton under my arm kicking and screaming as I walked completing composed and smiling out the door. I will not tell you what happend after that for legal reasons (ha) but I don't think it will be happening again. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's afraid of the word "Target" So......if anyone found a cart with a bathroom trashcan, toilet paper, and a shoe rack in the main middle aisle, that was mine and I will be back for it on my lunchbreak Mon. afternoon.
I hope this makes you feel better about your children. Mine is definately far from perfect..

Trenton the Mechanic/Model/Swimmer

Here are some random pictures from this last week. Man, the weeks sure do fly by. Trenton's new thing is making obnoxious boy noises (preferrably in restaurants) and pretending that there is a monkey in the house/on my car/under the table at restaurants. He even blames his toots on "the monkey"

I brought the carseat in yesterday to take off my cover and the original cover to wash (pretty disgusting). Trenton stayed busy trying to figure out where the straps come through and so forth. He had that thing so screwed up by the time it was time to put everything back together (I haven't been that frustrated in a while.....I wanted to throw that big thing out the window!!)

Tretnon last night in the bath...we have all seen this face before. He thinks he has to put his fingers on his face when he says "cheese" sooooo... here's what you get without the fingers...

look at that natural smile...the fingers might be better, funny boy!

Trenton and I at Swim Ranch today. He is dog paddling and jumping in and going under now. Yeah my little fishie!!

Trying to get Trenton to relax and do a back float. He eventually does. Thanks for sneaking away from work Daddy to come watch us!!

Party Weekend

Last weekend, the fam had a wedding shower/cookout for Tammy and Seth and Tyler's 1st Birthday party. My house is party central these days!

This pic is not from the party, but can't be left out. We got Trenton a helmet for when he rides his trike so that he would be used to wearing it when he starts riding a real bike (per Dr. L's instructions). He wore the helmet 24/7 for the first week he loved it so much. He even tried to wear it to bed. We let him put it in the crib with him while he slept....wierdo..

Yummy petit fours!! Rick's is the best!!

Look at that SPREAD (inside joke)

Tammy and Seth, the couple of the night!

Wow..the next day, another nice SPREAD. Curious George theme, really cute monkey cake.
Hmmmm..not so sure.
This green frosting is pretty good.
About 5 minutes later... Happy Birthday Tyler!

Dr. Visit -2y.o. check up

Well, no pic for this post.. just an update on my little monkey's stats.

Went to the NEW pediatric clinic today, absolutely beautiful I must say. Trenton got to stand on the big scale and stand like a big boy to get measured. No more undressing and squirting pee all over, boy will I miss that. He weighs 29.00 lbs and is 35.5 in. tall. Dr. makes no comment on the head so I guess it's normal. I can't believe we actually worry about the size of their head by the way.. Trenton got a Eric Carle book from Dr. Livingston (which is really hard to say for a 2 yo but it doesn't matter because Trenton calls him Dr. Jones....who I work for).

Dr. Livingston told us to double their height at 2yo and add one inch for boys and subtract one inch for girls, and thats a good guess at how tall they will be. So we sat for a sec. and thought this out and both looked at each other and made a sour face like......"what?...only 6'1''?" I always imagined him being a beast like all the trumbos (skinny beasts that is) or like my dad. They are all over 6'5''. Dr. Livingston assured us that this was just a guess and actually laughed at our semi dissappointment. He reminded us that 6'1'' is a great height for a boy and that he was sure to have many girlfriends. HA At least he will be tall enough to date the Bohannan girls. Notice I said girlSS (plural) BRAD! hehe

The shocker came at the end of the appt. when he kindly informed us that Trenton needed his HepA booster. Mom and Dad were traumatized once again with a screaming child that broke our hearts but Matt didn't look like he was going to hit the nurse this time. He's doing much better.

Okay...maybe one picture. This is the only pic of Trenton with Dr. Livingston....HMMMM..which one was he anyway? I loved him that day because he got you breathing again! Darn umbilical cords.

On the Road Again

Well, we got the itch to get out of town again....we are suffering from vacationitis. We got up early Thursday morning and headed to Silver Dollar City. Trenton had never been and we have been told that he is a good age to go. Some of my Branson expert patients informed me that he has to be 36" to ride stuff so we did our homework and measured him at a smidge under 36". About 35.6999" to be exact (JK!) They let him ride anyway! They would look at me like they were going to say no and I would quickly reply "They let him to all the other rides!!" and then they would let us on. This wasn't entirely true because I said it on our first ride, but I thought what the heck, WE WANNA RIDE RIDES! Trenton rode everything except the roller coasters and water rides (log ride and big raft ride). We had lunch and then he took a long nap in the stroller. Matt and Trenton parked in the shade by a park bench and Matt "rested up" by Trenton while I hit the big roller coasters!! I can have a blast by myself on those!! I can't wait until Trenton is big enough to ride those with me. Matt will be the bag watcher (WEENIE)

Trenton was not too fond of this character...she (really a he) was hilarious!

Trenton playing ball toss game...."everyone's a winner..winner,winner,winner" hehe
Taking a nap..I'm so glad Trenton loves his nap. Makes our lives easier! And who doesn't love looking at sleeping kids?!
From our hotel room. Our room overlooked the fountains at Branson Landing. We thought this would be fun and such a great ideal until it was fountain showtime after Trenton went to bed. He kept saying "What's that!?" Thank goodness the last show was at 10:00.
