Christmas Day

I didn't actually take a lot of pictures because our camera is out of service, but my dad caught a few good ones so here they are. I just love the expression on Trev's face with his first cell phone(a toy cell phone of course). It was the cheapest toy ever and it kept him entertained for almost 3 hours!

My Christmas Angel

Ta Da

Alright I got a picture of him walking! All of a sudden this evening he figured out how to stand up on his own and he took off. Yes the rest is history. There is definitely no stopping him now.

Walking!!!

Trevor is walking! I am so excited. He has taken as little as 3 steps all the way to 10 at a time so far. I do not have any pictures yet because I am not quick enough, but I am hoping Thanksgiving day I might catch some. You know some people keep saying, "Oh you are in for it now" and other negative comments, but they said that about crawling too and I just don't believe it. I don't care that he is all over the place. I actually love the chase. I can not wait to see him dart out the back door to play outside with me running after him. Or when he runs to Jas and I to give us a big hug. The thought just puts a smile on my face. Even though I am sure his temper tantrums may increase, overall this experience is going to ROCK!

A day at the Park

This is the sweetest picture. I love it so so much!


Yes my boy is way flipping cute!


We wore them completely out. What a peaceful and quiet reward..

Some Random Fun

So fresh and so clean! I just could not resist.


Yes my child loves to play with toilet paper! When he gets caught he gets this expression on his face and tries to distract you by showing you what he is doing!

Trevor's 1st Shot

Just a little background, at first I was really skeptical about taking Trevor to get his shots because of what others had told me. At the time, I did all of the negative research on immunizations which was probably not the brightest thing I have ever done, but being a first time mom I was depending on other mothers' guidance. Do not get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion and just because I have swayed a different way now, does not necessarily mean the other side is wrong. I have just found that this is best for my sweet Trevor. Now that I have started a play group and Trevor goes EVERYWHERE with us, I feel it is vital that he have these shots that protect him. I did not realize the diseases that are out there among kids. And where shots can have a negative effect on babies, that is a 1 in a million chance and mostly happens when they have 4 or more shots at a time, before 4 months of age. So I prayed about it and I feel very confident that this is the right thing to do.

Trevor had his first shot on Friday. I was so nervous for him because I didn't want him to hurt. Well, my prayers were answered and he actually laughed when he got his shot! The nurse had him so distracted that he did not even realize what happened. Even though I massaged the area, he still had some swelling and redness, but that was the only negative effect. Now we just have 2 more shots to catch up. I hope he laughs every time. Here are some pictures of his sweet, smiling face the evening after his shot. He is such a trooper.

Quilting Update

I know it looks almost the same as the last picture, but this is an update. The pattern is different after 3 hours of replacing everything. And after much aggravation and a few swear words(I know I am sorry)and the help of Codi & my mom, I have finally sewn the whole face of the quilt together. Now all that is left is sewing the front, filler and backing together. I have to hand sew the border, which will probably be another challenge, and then I will finish by tying it off. I can't wait to see it done, if I make it through without ruining it with my temper.

Trevor Fun after 1

Renaissance Fun

I had never been to the Renaissance Festival before until last Saturday. My mom took me for my birthday with some of our close friends. It was really interesting. The village was way cool, the food was delicious, some of the shows were pretty funny, but the girls in thongs were disgusting along with a few other things. I'll definitely go back, but I am thinking Trevor is not going to be aloud to go until he is at least 18!!! I am not sure adults should even see and hear some of the stuff that goes on!

Quilting Project

I started my first quilting project. I have been wanting to do this for awhile and the perfect reason to get on it finally came up. One of my best friends that I have known since she was 18 months old is having her first girl this coming March. She has been such a special friend for so long that I wanted to do something extra special for her. I am hoping this will be something she can cherish for a long time!

So far I have cut the backing and all of the squares. The hardest part so far has been placing all of the squares in a pattern that I like. I have a feeling it might change slightly before I start sewing because I am not a hundred percent happy with it yet. I bought the cutest, most fun hot pink yarn to tie it off with. I totally can not wait to see the finished product. Total there are 99 squares that I have to sew together! Yikes this could take some time. By the way I have never successfully used a sewing machine before:). We will see how well my momma trains me.

Halloween

1st Birthday!

Trevor's personal birthday cake made by Kaylen's hubby Alex. Awesome job Alex, Thank you!


Happy Birthday to Trevor!


Here let me help you out a bit!


"Oooooh what part can I mess up next!"


He is going to be one spoiled little man. Thank you everyone!


Trevor was so excited he was squealing! What a cute group of kiddos


Trev and his BFF. I loved that part Libby, I should scrapbook it with this picture.

Fall Festival

Zoo Time

So there are quite a few pictures that I put in this post only because it was so hard to choose. Trevor is just the cutest kid ever. Who went...Jason, Trevor, Kaylen, Alex, Pawpaw, Oma and me. It was a blast. The weather was beautiful, the animals were awesome. The leopard kept charging every child that walked up to the fence(kinda scary), the tiger roared, the monkeys swung all over the place, the orangutang made whatever crazy noise it makes and the reptiles were just creepy. We got there early enough to miss the main crowd and park close. We had a little picnic afterwards which was really nice. What a perfect weekend to be outside!

Where's Trevor?

Little miss Casey Ray

Cute Story...Casey is my friends daughter who is a year and a half older than Trevor. This was their first real time to meet since he has become mobile. She was really shy, but they still played. So the next week I get a call from Kristina (Casey's mom) telling me that Casey had named her new babydoll Trevor. When Kristina told her it was time to go to school and to put her baby down, she responded by saying "No mommy the babies name is Trevor and we have to put him in his car seat"! She is 2 and she says things like that. Kids are so cute. So now every where they go, Trevor goes. He even has his own special car seat and stroller:). Just a side note to make things funny, her baby doll is a girl and wears purple!

Cho-Co-Lat-E

This picture was just too cute to pass up. Last week I was making my dad's birthday cake(chocolate fudge moose cake with a creamy chocolate pudding filling and double chocolate fudge icing) and Julianne(my sisters' future step daughter as of next Friday) tore into one of the mixer spinner things and this was the result. It must have been really flipping good!
