Water Fun

We had such a beautiful weekend here. We got outside a lot in the warm sunshine and played and worked some too. Trenton and I washed windows on Sunday and he was like a lab puppy with the water! I could spray him in the head and he would just laugh. He soaked his clothes and slowly took off everything (but his underwear) by the time we got to the back of the house. We planted my potted flowers out front. Trenton loves doing anything that involves dirt, he's a boy of course!

This is where I found him washing up after planting.

We busted out the sprinkler for the first time this year. Trenton ran nonstop for what seemed like hours.

Look at those long skinny legs.

"What mom?" This is what he says a lot these days.

Silly wet boy.

Easter

Well, sounds like everyone had a good Easter. It was really nice weather for once on Easter so that was just a bonus. We went to church on Sat night (this took me a while to agree to...didn't seem like it would be the same, but it was great and it gave us the whole day Sun. to hang together as a family). I went overboard once again with the gifts/candy/eggs. I try not to put emphasis on that part, but its hard for me to resist.
Matt, Trenton, and I at brunch at the country club....very windy up there!

Trenton at the country club easter egg hunt. There were tons of kids up there. They had goats, chicks, bunnies, all kinds of fun stuff for the kids.

Trenton on Sat. evening before church. When did he turn into an obnoxious boy? Where is my toddler who is always cute?! He did this face/pose about 15 times in a row. I kept my cool...:)


Much better. He was actually walking towards me to look at the crazy face he made on my camera.

Trenton's Easter basket.

This is where I found Trenton on Sat. afternoon after I cleaned up the egg dying mess. Crazy Erin is always saying "that boy needs a spray tan" so he decided to do something about it!

Just woke up from nap...I had all the egg stuff ready to go! This was Trenton's first year to dye eggs. He had fun "checking" the eggs like every 5 seconds.


Found out he LOVES hard boiled eggs.

The finished produts. On Easter, Trenton said "I'm gonna eat Jesus' egg (the one with the cross on it) cause he's already dead...he died in that water" What a great intro into an Easter explanation for me. He WAS dead....but today He is alive! Trenton's response: "Where!? I don't see him...is he still up in those clouds?"..."Can I still have his egg?" How cute....

Signs of NEW LIFE in our backyard on Easter.

1st Big Hunt

This morning was our neighborhood egg hunt. This was Trenton's first "real" hunt. I guess we did some at my sister's house last year but he didn't really know what was going on. Our neighborhood is serious about this event, huge turnout!

Posing before the hunt, sun was a little bright.

Our neighborhood clubhouse is right behind our house so we strolled on over for donuts and juice.

Fueling up before the hunt, gotta be loaded full of sugar. That is a serious gameface...


Sweet gameface...we had to wait for about 15 min. for the other kids to get there. He kept asking when we could go!

This year they separated the preschoolers from the "schoolers"....some major head butting accidents last year.

And he's off! I caught it all on my video camera, so stinking cute. His face was so serious as he ran around.

This was the funny part...after he had enough, he just kept running back to our house. He said "I'm going home!" Either he couldn't wait to see what was in those eggs or he didn't want to socialize anymore.

The goods.

He struck gold on the first egg!


After the egg hunt, we went and picked up Daddy at work and went to the Augustine/Trent Trumbo Easter Feed. This was an event that was named after Trenton's grandpa, Trent. It's a free Easter dinner open to the public. Trenton got introduced after the blessing. Everyone there can't wait to see the little Trent fill grandpa Trent's shoes. Trenton just got to socialize a little -which is what Grandpa Trent would have been doing!

We are excited about the real meaning of Easter tomorrow. The egg hunts, bunnies, and candy are all fun but the real excitement comes tomorrow when we celebrate the empty tomb of Jesus and all He did and does for us so we can have LIFE!

Spring has Sprung!

Finally....things are looking more like spring (feeling like it anyway). Still waiting for things to green up around here. Trenton keeps saying "I don't see spring." But when he see's anything that is green (weeds mainly), he says "Look! There's spring!" So cute. We have been trying to get outside as much as possible, even eating outside. I actually found great joy in weeding some of my beds yesterday. Trenton enjoys finding ladybugs, ants, and whatever creepy crawlys he can find. He stays away from the spiders though (thank goodness). He goes from one sport to the other in a matter of seconds, our backyard is a collection of at least 3 soccer balls, many balls/bats, well....you get the point. Here are some pics from his first golf outing of 2010. His golf manners are still very good. He knows when he can't talk and stays in the cart until it's his turn. This might be the first year he actually listens to me when I tell him that those sand traps aren't his personal sandboxes.

Water-check, popcorn-check, where is my caddy?

His favorite thing to do is hit balls in the water. I know we shouldn't probably teach that but he thinks its hilarious. This sport could get expensive for daddy this summer :)

Go ahead and take a 20 Trenton, seriously, pick it up already.

Left arm is almost straight....he's not the "big easy" he's the "little easy". (For those of you who know who Ernie Els is)


Can't wait for many more golf outings (with dad). Mommy is so excited about that :)

Nick Jr. Story Time

Last night, we went to the Walton Arts Center to see Nick Jr's Storytime Live. There were four little shows with Moose A. Moose and Zee doing puzzle time between the shows. Trenton was most excited about seeing the Wonder Pets but all were cute (Ni Hau Kilan-sp???, Dora, Backyardagains) This was his first "show/play" so it was really fun to watch him.

We ate at Hog Haus before (across the street) and the whole place was filled with kids! (Not the greatest pic of either of us)

Trenton holding his ticket watching the show.

Daddy and Trenton before the show. Trenton was so afraid to look away from the stage and miss it starting.

Hopefully our last "playing in the snow" pic until maybe Chirstmas 2010. I was such a grouch with this snowfall....ridiculous. But....it's GONE and we're going to a baseball game tomorrow so I'm over it.

Here are some letters I made for Trevor's room. Now...I just need to hang them! On the agenda for tomorrow!

Funny note: Right before we got out of the car today to get T's haircut, I turned around and said "Oh Trenton, you have a huge booger hanging out of your nose" He said "Are you serious?!"

What we've been up to...

We've had lots of good times these past few weeks. These pics start from most recent. Loving the time change (maybe only moms who work actually love the time change...we have a few hours of daylight with our little ones before bedtime!) Plus, I can't sleep anyway so now everyone has to get up with me!
This first pic is of T tonight. His teacher told me that he did not take a nap today. For some reason, he thought I was coming at naptime so he wouldn't close his eyes (a little heartbreaking...ok a lot) This may not sound like a big deal....but let me tell you, it is! He has NEVER missed a nap at school like EVER! This kid runs like a fine oiled machine and this is what happens at 6:40pm if the machine breaks..

I tried to wake him....took his clothes off....put on his jammies/pullup......threw him in bed...and he never woke up! I didn't know what do with myself with no child to chase this evening. Well, I am obviously finally blogging.

Trenton's stach he is so proud of compliments of LaHuerta. Trenton says "Hola amigos!"

Eating pot pie last night. Sitting at the bar is a must these days. He saw a stack of papers next to him and out poked a pic of Santa and him (Matt cleaned his desk off). Trenton said "Hey...there's Santa!.....he was a pretty nice guy!"


Cheese ball

Reagan and my sis Michelle came for a bit last weekend to shop. Reagan and Trenton eating snacks at the bar of course.

Reagan tootie

Watching tv...I acutally think they were watching that Bear guy on that survivor man show.

Papa John (my dad) came to visit last week. He is recently retired! and sooooo happy about it. "Every night is fri night and every day is sat!" That is his new motto...seriously. Trenton loves him some Papa John. He is in awe of his height, wants to be big like him (likely),and watches him closely. If my dad has on boots, Trenton goes and puts boots on. If my dad says "I have big stinky feet" Trenton wants big stinky feet too.

Trenton at Chuck E Cheese. Whack a mole! A personal fav.

Trenton and Daddy on a simulator ride. Trenton's face is about as serious as a heart attack the whole time. He was like that at Silver Dollar City this summer too. The most exciting rides and roller coasters and he shows NO emotion until the ride is over, then he smiles...too funny.

Catching Up!

Ok, time to catch up! I have been checking blogs lately, but not posting myself. Going through a lazy posting slump or something. Trenton is making us laugh constantly these days (what 2 yo doesn't make you laugh though). His new phrase: "I'm sorry bout that." May not sound that funny but the way he uses it and the WAY he says it is hilarious or as Trenton says "harious". He is becoming more and more obsessed with trains by the minute and is loving on his little brother, Trevor (in the belly), a lot. He likes to lay on him, listen to him toot (my stomach growling), and talk to him. Trenton thinks he is going to come out big and ready to play. Boy is he in for a shocker....I know how time flies and they WILL be playing together but in the moment it seems like they are tiny and do NOTHING forever! HA Here are some pics from the last few weeks.

New playgroup..well this pic is about 3 weeks old. Looking at everyone else's photo of the kids, mine is even worse. Trenton was excited to have a big boy buddy, TREVOR! This is going to get confusing....

Making brownies with Mommy a few weeks ago. Trenton loves helping in the kitchen...he can practically make his own Easy Mac (an essential life skill I might add).

Trenton on Sunday with some major Spring Fever. We ALL smiled a little bigger this weekend!

On the back of his Jeep. Rides this all over the backyard. When the back tires spin, he gets out and looks under the hood. I swear I did not teach him this.....creepy.

What's that I see.......green sprouts???.....day lillies????? Yipee!!
