Happy Birthday Dad!!

Yesterday, Trenton, Matt, Michelle, Tyler, Reagan, and I met Dad and Sandy in Springfield, MO for the day. Today is my Dad's birthday (although we celebrated yesterday). We started off the day at Red Lobster and ventured on to Bass Pro. Two of Dad's favorite places!! We all had a blast at Bass Pro. The kids loved all the animals/fish and Dad loved ALL the merchandise!

Sorry Papa, I'm not in the partying mood..... Trenton woke up that morning with a 101.4 temp. Not sick, his lower canines are coming in. He points to his mouth and says "owie" He was not himself, very mellow. (It was actually kinda nice, sorry buddy)

Party Animals!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddio/Papa!!

I KNEW this was going to happen eventually!!

So......it's time for Matt to walk in the door from work and instead of him walking in....he is knocking. I thought he was waiting for Trenton to open the door, so we stood there and he knocks again. I finally open the door to find my lovely husband holding these two frogs. For anyone who KNOWS me, you KNOW I flipped out! I had a hard time taking the picture. They were in our driveway (it just started raining). I guess I have the pond to thank. This could be bad, having a boy in all, and being that close to a pond where frogs and snakes live. One of these days it will be Trenton!! (notice the cowboy hat....Trenton has been wearing it lately. I've been calling him Jerry!)

FREAKY!!!!

Matt's Nana came up tonight and brought us a picture of Little Mattie Roo when he was about 3yo. Brace yourselves for this pic.....I'm finally admitting Trenton is a miniMatt!!! Check this out!!

wow....Matt even wore suits when he was a toddler (minus the poly blend now)

Trenton's 1st baseball game!!

Today after church we headed over the baseball game. Trenton had a blast taking in all the action. We hope to go to more (especially when it gets warmer). Trenton yells "baseball!" and something along the lines of woooo....pig, pig, yeah! A lot of emotion in the "pig pig" part.

wow! He's really into that game...NOT! He's watching the RBI girls!

Trenton did a little jig for us while the music played!

Ok....NOW he's watching the game.
The Razorback caught Trenton and I for a little suprise. I was crouched on the floor by the bathroom changing a poopie diaper (so much fun to do at sporting events- and he let the whole box know he had "poo poo!!") I didn't see him walk in and he stood RIGHT OVER Trenton and waved while he was on the floor! I about pooped MY pants and it's a good thing I had his pants on cause you have never seen a child flip around so fast and jump on ya! He eventually warmed up enought for a "tater" and eventually this pic. He wasn't going to take his eyes off of him!

When it was time to go (time for nappie!!), I said "All right T, ready to go bye bye?" Why do parents ask this question? What do we really expect them to say? Yeah mom, lets go home and leave this exciting place so I can go sleep in my lonely crib. He was SNORING in the car on the way home!

I love Trenton

Here are a few random pics from the last few days. My work week is over so now I can post!

Trenton loves to chunck the football at the wall or door so it makes a loud noise. He LOVES that football!!

Trenton waiting for me to go outside. He found a new place for the football. Did I mention he loves football..

BB, Matt's mom, got him a little fish bowl with fish (fake...my kind of pet) that swim around for Valentine's Day. Their names are "Red" and "Blue" (although they are orange and blue)

Trenton has to be holding a football in the car. He has learned not to throw it at Mama while she is driving. He learned this quickly after we took it away for a few days because he hit me in the head. The kid has a serious spiral.

Here we are the bacteria playground they call Party City. Every 10 min. we had a wippee wipe down. He loved it though so it was worth it (and it's been almost a full week since we went and he still doesn't have the bird flu, amazing)

Trenton says "DUMP TRUCK" when he see's this! All boy....

Some other funny things he is saying is "mess" when we are driving and see all the brush people have at the street. Sometimes he says 'OHHHH Broke!" when he see's all the broken trees.

Last night, we went to the basketball game. He LOVES watching everything! He calls the Razorbacks the "Butterbacks" Sounds kinda yummy...

Future Gymnast?

Today, Trenton and I met Jackson and his sissy, Avery, at The Little Gym. This was our 'trial class'. We joined as soon as we were done. I'm not sure my dreams and aspirations for Trenton were to be wearing spandex one day in the olympics....but looks like that's what were heading for! (ha, just kidding.....we all know he will be on the PGA tour in about 19 years) They had a blast!! Trenton kind of wandered off a lot exploring all the stuff but came back to the circle every now and then to do the fun stuff. He did a forward roll (with me a as a spot) and flipped over my head! The funniest part (and why I think he might be the future Chris Hamm) is when he ventured over to the rings. He was supposed to be on the red mat with everyone else but those rings were a callin his name!! He got up on his tippie toes and snatched those rings right up and started his routine! No fancy dismount yet.....maybe next week. Did I get a picture? Of course not....I'll try next week!

He is supposed to be on the mat with me, but is checking things out!

Hey ladies.....check out my abs!!

Bubble time.....always a favorite!
At the mall getting some lunch after that workout. Trenton and I got Daddy's present...shhhh..

Vaentines Party

Trenton had a Valentines Party at school Friday. Trenton brought his valentines and we stayed to decorate cookies (and eat them too!!)

Like Mother Like Son.....

Trenton put the whole cookie in his mouth. Looks like some kissing lips to me!!

What mom?...you do it all the time.

Playing At The Park

Here are some pics of the Little Man playing at the park. He loves Gulley. Looks like such a big boy!!

Ok, this pic was from a few weeks ago (pre haircut). He stacked up all the cookie sheets and stood on top. He will stack anything up so he can jump of it. Funny pose.....

Ice storm

Well, we survived....barely. We were lucky and only had power out for a day and 1/2. I can't beleive I'm actually saying that. It may not sound "that bad", but let me just tell you, it sucked!! Doesn't take long for your house to become a frozen igloo (even with a gas fireplace) We couldn't even be there during the day. We drove around (warm in car) and hung out at some friends and fam(Tammy). Wal Mart had power for a little bit, so we also hung out there. After our power came on, Amber, David, and girls camped at our house. They finally got power last night. I know some are probably still without. Here are some pics.

I took this today from my car. This is the K-Life house.

Also from my car, this is a house on our street.

Neighbors

Cousins Come to Visit

I'm going to "back blog" a little here. These are from 2 weekends ago. Mom brought Michelle's kiddos here for a couple of days while Michelle had a girls' weekend in K.C. CRAZY times!!

Mini Michelle

Is he really 3 feet tall? I just noticed the measurement behind his head...

Tyler just chillin....what else does Tyler do?

Weeeeeee!

How many animals do you need......really?

eeeeeee

Trenton regressed a little while Tyler was in town. I think you've outgrown this buddy!

Wow...I looked zonked!

Pretty good bath experience this time. No screaming...no tears.....

Trenton wandering off at park.

Ice Storm

We are at Tammy's today! No power to about 50,000 here in NWA. We are 3 of them. So sad to see this beautiful place ruined by all this ice. All trees broken and down.....I hate that.
We pulled the tempurpedic in front of our gas fireplace last night and hunkered down. It was FREEZING. Trenton stirred all night and was awake and ready to go at 4:15 am. I don't know how he is still functioning (or how we are). Pray that we get electricity soon!! Asked a SWEPCO truck at the end of our street this am if they were working on our street. They said their goal today is to just get main lines up, all residential will "hopefully" be fixed tomorrow. UGHHHHHH!

Happy Birthday Erin!

Friday night was Erin's Birthday. Fun times at Bonefish! Bob, the trainer from the Biggest Loser, was there! Really cute! Erin and Leah went over there to meet him. (Leah knew the WalMart exec's he was with) My mom thought we should of told him that we all use to be like 500 lbs. Maybe he would really like us then! ha
The whole gang

Me and the Bingham girls

Me and the Birthday Girl!!

Chick Fil A Playground

Last week, Matt and I took Trenton to play at ChickFilA (ok, we wanted one of those peppermint chocloate shakes). He kept going up the big tube slide a few feet then sliding down. Matt and I kinda quit paying attention after a few min. (We were the only people there) All of a sudden we heard him yelling at us from the top part! He made it all the way up. Nervous Nellie parents we are, my blood starting pumping a little harder because I didn't know where he was going to go from there. He had a ball! He thought he was pretty cool!

Here are some pics before church today. We were actually running on time!!

Trenton- 20 Months

Trenton turned 20 months at the beginning of January. Hard to believe. I won't be able to say "months" anymore once he turns 2. I'll just get to say "2". He is a little sponge these days...soaking up everything he hears and sees. He dumped the bag of goldfish on his head in my car and said "mess!!". I said "That's right I guess." He likes to bring me things around the house while I'm in the shower (when Matt's not home, I never get a shower with the door closed). Last week, he brought be a lamp with the shade off and kept trying to tell me all about it while he tried to put it in the shower with me. He also brought be a container of salsa (yesterday). I guess I forgot to lock the fridge. Here are some pics of us playing while Flash, Sara, and Lily (and Debbie too!) came over to watch the Florida/Oklahoma game.

Trenton can't smile for the camera without saying "CHEEEEZZZEE" and putting his fingers on his cheeks.

He loves wearing HATS!

Mommy getting her workout again pushing Trenton around in his Tonka truck. This was the greatest present Uncle Jon and Aunt Jenny...my hamstrings thank you.

Christmas in Iowa/Illinois

Trentons first plane ride. He did great! He kept yelling "Plane!" In this picture, he is pushing the button that makes the arm go up and he says "ut-oh" because earlier he stood up and pushed the flight attendant button and he got in trouble. He just needed more "IIIICCCCEEE!!"Bad hair day too....Grammy cut it later. Trenton got bored a the airport in Moline, so he started doing handstands.

Taking a bath at Grandma LaLa's. He went BIZERK! Made Grandma laugh.

Going for a ride with Papa John in the ??loader, looked like a bulldozer with tires to me. It goes really fast! They went to this big tire pile and threw loads of tires up in the air. Dad said he didn't like that so much :) I'll try to upload the video later.
