HA! Rena is what Trenton and the other grandkids call my mom. Today is her birthday and Trenton and I are down for the weekend. I'm so mean I've had her making stuff for ME (really Trenton). Everytime the phone rings, we answer "Rena's sweatshop!" Here are some of the applique shirts she made today.
The pictures don't do them justice. And.....they really are so fun to make (I really did help). If you want to order one, just leave a comment on this post with your email and we'll get back to you. For a long sleeve toddler shirt its $16.50 (that includes your shipping). We have all kinds of ideas up our sleeves!! No pun intended....hehe.
Trying to work up the courage to ride the camel. He told me "mama, YOU ride it and I'll watch!" That didn't happen.
Damngood cheese.
That's enough pictures already!!
This is Trenton towards the end of the night passing out candy. He's in his jammies.
Waiting eagerly for the next trick or treater.....
Trenton with GG and Aunt Lexi the nerd.
Family pic.....yes I am a dark brunette as of last Thurs. No I did not do it for Halloween. This is a frequently asked question...
Their faces crack me up! Trenton got a billy bob sucker from GG. When he puts the sucker in his mouth, the front of it has big hillbilly teeth on it.
Trenton at the beginning of the night. After the first house, Trenton walked down the driveway and said "I go home now." What a little homebody!! We did not go home.
Daddy and Trenton moving on to more houses. 
Taking his sweet time. I thought he would be running from house to house for more candy. He stopped to pick weeds, pick up rocks, you name it, he had TTADD (trick or treat ADD). I didn't realize he brought his handy manny hammer and he sat down in someone's front yard and got out his hammer to "fix his bucket". He started banging away on it right there! Hilarious!
Trenton showing off the pumpkin he made. By the way....the best part of this costume was the fact that the hat was too small and so cheap looking. Aunt Michelle bought him a better one but it just wasn't as funny!!
I carved a monster pumpkin for Trenton, he was way pumped...he LOVES monsters. He told his BeBe on the phone that he was going to be a monster for Halloween (which he is not by the way).
Eating some of the goods from the Florida folks. I liked the saftey light the best. Definatley going to use that tonight.
Cleaning out the pumpkin. He wasn't as big of a fan of the pumpkin guts as I thought. He said "EWWWWW, germs!"
Costume, check. Saftey light, check. Awesome candy carrier (thanks to aunt Jo), check check!!
This is Trenton before school on Tues (Hat Day). I missed photos of Mismatch Day and PJ Day, whoops! His teacher said he wore it ALL day. They told him he had to take it off for nap time. He woke up about 5 times and would feel it laying next to him and would go back to sleep.
Trenton wearing Cole's Razorback Helmet. It was a big hit!
Trenton and some buddies stopping for a quick photo. Dessert time!
Angie's sweet little girl, Brooklyn. She sacked out in the Baby Bjorn. Precious!!!
Yeah!!!! He kept saying "I see Wild Things!!"
Daddy and Trenton by the movie poster
BEFORE the booster. He is smiling because of the popcorn, obviously....it's as big as him. He sat for about 10 min. prior to the previews, through about 20min. of previews, and 40 min. of the movie. Once the excitement of SEEING the Wild Things was over, he lost interest. I can't blame him. Not really a "kid" movie.
Yummy icecream. I told him to come outside to I could take pics and he literally said "cheese" the whole time he ate this popsicle.....but never really smiled or made much contact with camera.
One shoe on and one off, this is how he looks on a typical day.
My pretty mums and MY lil punkin. I am not a big fall person only because I know what comes after it. But.....fall is more bearable with pretty things like mums and colored leaves. 
This was the first night it Italy. Welcome dinner at the hotel. These are our new friends Sonya and Ceasar from Texas. She is a GM of a large Acura store down there. 
Dining room before we invaded and messed it up.
Two tired people under the influence.
Look! There we are in the background. What am I drinking? Oh maybe that's why I don't remember. I don't want to look at wine for at least another week. Although yummy at the time.
Our first gift was really cool. We got to pick out which sandal/belt/linen shirt we wanted and they hand made them for us in our sizes right there. I got rhinestone sandals and Matt got an Italian leather belt. I do remember this.
This was the walk way up to the pool. 
This was part of the hospitality suite. Acura rented the whole place so it was just us. This room had all the food/drink you want from 7am-7pm. If you ordered a drink and were NOT in this room the price was outrageous! At the pool, Matt ordered a mixed drink and it was 30 euros, that's like $40!! We sure learned our lesson. They told us that the Kennedy's, Clinton's, Humphrey Bogart, Greta Garbo, and others I can't remember stayed here. It's tucked away so people couldn't find them there. We had to try our best not to be redneck and be too excited. HA 
We are finally home! Here are some pics of scenery from the 1st half of our trip on the Amalfi Coast. We stayed in Ravello at Hotel Caruso and visited Amalfi, Sorento, Positano, Island of Capri, and Pompei. Italy is a photographer's dream...unfortunatley I'm not a "photographer". So these pics are from the pro photographer that went with us to all these places. I let him do most of the work! He was awesome.
