Trey is not getting neglected

I just wanted to write a little post about Trey to make sure everyone out there knows Trey is not getting forgotten around here. Trey is his typical stubborn self and is currently anti-picture, so whenever I get the camera out he turns and runs the other way..hence the lack of pictures of him.

He doesn't want to play any sports or join any sort of activity. He likes playing his DS and really loves baby Roman. He is definitely a lover of babies. He was so good with Ty when Ty was a baby and he is so great with Roman now. He likes playing in the backyard and pushing his limits with everyone in the house. I know he really looks up to Tucker, but will never admit it. He can be a little stinker, but he is very loving when no one is looking.

He is doing great in school, in the month of January he got 4 purple power days!! He's pretty proud of that. I'm proud of his purple power days as well, but I am most proud of his reading skills! We always read the same books all the time, which gets boring and gets on my nerves because we seriously have like a billion different books to read...so I told him to go search through his bookshelf and find a book we haven't read in awhile. He came back with a Max and Ruby level 1 reader about a day at the beach. He asked if he could read it himself, so I told him of course he can and then he proceeded to read me the entire book..only needing my assistance on 2 words and all I did was sound out part of the word and he did the rest!!! It was awesome to hear him reading already. He did such a great job and I'm so proud!!!

Not such a baby anymore

Now I know Ty is 2 has has been for a couple of months already, but is still my baby and I have been holding on to a few things trying to keep him a baby as long as possible. One of those things is his hair. I love it and all it's craziness, but it has just been outta control lately and he hates getting it washed and combed and I have known for awhile that I need to get it cut again and not just a trim, but really cut...I keep chickening out, but I finally bit the bullet and did it...here is his before picture.....
...and now.....

Another one out!

The other day Tucker came home from school with one less tooth in his mouth. He bit on something during lunch that made his tooth bend back and then he was able to pull it out! He was pretty excited to loose it at school because he got this cool tooth box to keep it in!

It's hard being this bad

Ty rarely naps at home anymore...it's not that he doesn't need a nap, he is just too busy causing trouble to sleep while we are at home (he usually only naps in the car and must stay in the car to sleep). Every once in a while he does happen to fall asleep he usually just passes out exactly where he happens to be sitting.


This one is from in the car...he was just too exhausted to finish his pretzel

Children's Museum Fun

The boys had one of the Monday in January off and since my mom and dad also had off we decided to head up to the childrens museum. My nephew and his family joined us too. We haven't been there in years (since Trey was a baby) and we had a blast!!

My cute little shopper (he has always carried baskets like this..it cracks me up)

They had a whole section desiginated for bubbles above is Quentin, Tucker and Trey pulling up a huge bubble around them and below is Ty about to pop a bubble filled with fog...it was really awesome.
Devin is such a good cousin!Ty checking out the dogs ear..he was really into being a vet.Trey was being a stinker and wouldn't sit with the rest of them....

Fishing in January

The boys have been begging to go fishing and we had a 'warm' day so we took them to a local fishing spot. They were bummed because they didn't catch anything, but that was because they spent the majority of the time throwing rocks at the ice trying to break it. After alittle bit of the fishing we walked around the ponds checked out the ice and watched the geese.

Hot Tub Fridays!

Fridays (well sometimes Saturdays if Fridays get to busy) have become Hot Tub Night. For Christmas the big boys got bath robes to wear out there because it's usually pretty cold.

New Years Eve/New Years Day

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of NYE...oh well, we were too busy having fun with my nephew and his family! We played a variety of board games and ate too many yummy snack foods. The big boys finally made to to watch the ball drop! They were so proud. Ty suprizingly made it until 11:30ish and was a total nightmare by that time at night! It was a great way to bring in 2012.
New Years Day we did our typical church thing and then my parents treated us to a special lunch at Olive Garden in honor of mine and Vinny's anniversary. After that since it was such a georgous day we took the boys to the park to play.

Happy 2012 everyone..hope it's a great year for everyone.

Last bit of December

My dad celebrated a birthday, but I won't say which one..I don't think my mom will be too happy if I gave away her age :P
Showing off their new Packer stuff!

Bass Pro Shop -- Denver

In Texas we were lucky enough to have the boys favorite store, The Bass Pro Shop, less than 15 minutes away...however, we aren't quite as lucky here, but at least there is one in the state, I don't know what the boys would do without this store. Every year at Christmas Bass Pro Shop sets up a winter wonderland. It is awesome and they have lots of free activities and a free picture with Santa. We decided to keep with our Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland tradition and headed up to Denver. We met up with my brother's family and spent the entire day at BPS!
Of course the grandkids were trying to convince Gramma and Grampa to get a boat!
Ty would not go to Santa..Devin is a good cousin and held Ty for the Santa Pic.
