My Little Cutie

Here are some cute recent pics of Trenton. He is so much fun. We love striking up conversations just to see what he'll say next. He told me he couldn't eat McDonalds in the car the other day because he will choke. I have never said that. We are also putting our foot down (a little) with the tv obsession. We now have boundaries. In this first pic, T pulled his chair in from outside while we were out there eating. We just thought he was playing around. When he didn't come back for a while, this is where we found him. In our bedroom, in front of the tv.!

When you don't have your paci, just suck on the end of a nuby sippie cup....just the same!

Trenton's new mohawk....courtesy of Cody at our hair salon. Thanks to Daddy for this brave hairdo while mommy was taking a nap!

How hilarious is this picture? Cheerleader pose! I can't wait to look back at these pics and realize how small this tree is now. I hope to be here when it's big and Trenton can climb it! Matt and I planted (well, Westwood really planted it) this about 4 years ago.

This is pretty much how Matt mow's the lawn. Shirt off and practically running. HA!

My shopping buddy...again!

I'm so glad to have my shopping buddy again. Trenton went through a phase for a couple of months where he DID NOT want anything to do with a shopping cart. I avoided my favorite hangouts (TJ Maxx, Target) after the major meltdown in Target (about a month ago). I finally have my TJ Maxx buddy back. All of a sudden, he WANTs to ride in the front part of the cart again. We went to TJ about 4 x last week. Now, when we get in the car he says "Where we goin Mama...TJ Maxx?" I love it! The answer is usually yes by the way. Isn't it so annoying when you see all those kids playing with those toys and making a mess in the aisles?! Well, that's me now. I've been knockin those moms for years and I've finally joined in their madness. Trenton gets about 5-10 of pure toy destruction, then its back in the cart to look for crap we don't need.
By the way...I jinksed myself by saying T was doing good with potty training. He said he likes pooping in the car and enjoyed peeing on his hands in the bath tonight. Fabulous.

Silver Dollar City

Michelle and I met in Branson on Fri. to bring Trenton and Reagan to Silver Dollar City. Fun was had by all, and sleep was much needed by 2:30ish. We got there early so the weather was ok for a couple of hours, then it got HOT. We put the kid's suits on and went to Geyser Gulch, a water play park. Trenton peed on the splash fountains that you run around on.

Side note: T is doing pretty good with the potty now. I'm leaving it up to him and he is peeing and pooping on the potty everyday. He still wets a diaper almost everyday too though. His favorite is peeing outside! I went to change his pullup at SDC and he said "no, I go potty!" Alrighty then.

Silly faces

Cheese!

Waiting for strawberries and icecream.

Trenton's big BOOBOO

Yesterday, I got a call from daycare saying Trenton tripped and busted his head on the door frame. They said he cried for a few minutes then held an ice pack on it in the office until I we could get there. I about fell over when I saw it but he said "it's all better" and never said a word about it again. I've asked him today if his head hurts and he says "nope!" The pictures don't do it justice.. I know, Sara, I said I wasn't going to post this but daycare has record of it happening there!

Over his right eye..

whoa, check out those eyelashes

I've also told some of you that Trenton has become addicted to tv/movies. Here is where he is right now watching Kung Fu Panda.

What mom? Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? Ok, I feel guilty, we're going to play playdough or do puzzles.

Aerosmith concert

Matt and I headed to Tulsa last weekend for a little mini vacation. Tammy watched Trenton for us. We stayed at the Hard Rock Casino and went to the ZZTop/Aerosmith concert. They can still rock it out for a bunch of old guys! ZZ just kinda shook their beards around a little but Steven Tyler was a maniac. No wonder he is so skinny, he burns like 3000 calories in an hour and 1/2. (or maybe its drugs?) hmmmm.....

Tammy gave me many options for an Aerosmith appropriate tshirt and I went with rhinestones and roses. Maybe the bleeding hearts/skull and crossbones next time.

And since my husband is the luckiest man in the world, we got to ride there and back in a limo and sit in a suite with all the food and drinks you wanted. That was the best part to me. We were with "high rollers" if you know what I mean.

Matt and I getting ready to leave for the concert.

After the concert, waiting for our ride.

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.
