Sweet birthday boy playing in the sand

Been TOO LONG!!!

I can't believe it has been almost 5 months since I posted!! I am awful!! We have been so busy with school, football, basketball, and just life in general!!

My sweet little boy is turning the Big 2 on Sunday. We are having a party at Clay's Restaurant on Saturday. We are so excited and expecting a pretty good turn out!! The kids are going to get to feed the animals and my sweet friend is loaning us her big Bouncy House to use for the kiddos. It is going to be so much fun! I have a fellow Klein Oak alumni, Emily Crawford photographing the party so I am super pumped about getting some great pics from the party!
This is from the trial run of putting up the Bouncy House in Mike and MawMaw's backyard. MawMaw was goofing off with Little Bit.

Trent is so funny and has a such a great personailty these days! The things that he does crack us up! He knows now when he does something and we laugh, so he will do it again and again to be funny!! He loves to lay down on the floor and wait for us to tickle him...if we stop he will lay down again and make us tickle him some more.


My son has a definite sweet tooth like his Daddy....here he is relishing in a cinnamon roll at his Nana's. This is the first time he ever grabbed a utensil to feed himself...he is usually a "finger eater" only.

News to report:

• Finally paid off Buck, the Bucksnin horse. We are now trying to arrange his delivery to Texas from Montana
• I have been dabbling in a home-based second job for supplemental income (note the above bullet)
• Taylor is finishing up her first semester at Lone Star and being successful
• MawMaw and Nana both recently boughty new rides....finally!!!
• Trevor is desperately in need of a new ride himself...looking now for something
• Big Trent is back home for a few weeks
• Trent is obsessed with cars, horses, airplanes and his pacifier for some reason these days. He never wanted it except for nighttime until a few weeks ago. Now he wants it all of the time!
  

Dr. Seuss Shoe Obsession

MawMaw Ada got Trent some cool, new Dr. Seuss shoes yesterday. The are "One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish" and he is officially obsessed!!

As soon as he saw them come out of the box, he came and got them out of my hand and tried to put them on himself! It was the cutest thing ever. So, I put them on him and he ran around the house in them until bed time. He would run and look down at them at the same time to see them.

This morning, as soon as we got downstairs he ran over to them and again tried to put them on immediately! He wore them all morning, running errands and again as soon as he got up from his nap. Obsessed much???

Summer Ranch Fun

I have been so bad posting updates to my blog....this weekend we went up to the ranch and Trent had a blast! Each time we go up there he is able to do more and more...he is into everything and loves playing up there. MawMaw got him a big pool to play in on the patio and he discovered that he loves to wear rubber boots...and as always Big Trent's cowboy hat that he keeps up there. He has to wear it every time we go. Here are some pics...













Feeding the baby deer at Cody & Rebecca's...Trevor and I referred to Trent as Lenny from Of Mice and Men because he was so rough with the little deer, but he was being loving towards her at the same time, petting and hugging all over her...too cute!!

Summer Fun

okay....so I am a bit behind with the posts. After the last post we went on vacation and then I came back only to start summer school for two weeks and I was too worn out from dealing with turds all day to bother with updating the blog.....so this post will be a mix of different pictures.

All of our Montana pictures are on Facebook...

Montana was absolutely incredible!! We loved it so much there! The weather was TO DIE FOR!!! It never reacher higher than 68 there in the heat of the day. The nights it dropped down to the 40s and we slept with no a/c for the first time that I can ever think of.....and slept on a down comforter and never even got hot!

We were up by 6, saddled by 6:30, breakfast at 7.....after breakfast we rode until 11:45, washed up, lunch at 12....rode until 5:45...washed up and dinner by 6.....took long after-dinner walks, sat on the porch sipping wine and watched the sunset....showered and in by asleep by 9 to start it all over again the next day..heaven on Earth!

Wednesday while we were there after lunch we took a long hike up along East Rosebud Creek through part of Custer Park for 3 miles and came back tothe ranch just in time for dinner.

Thursday we took a trek through Red Lodge, Beartooth Pass, and Cook city to go through the NE corner of Yellowstone Park. It was so beautiful and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and animals. We saw moose, buffalo, and Black bears only to name a few.

Here is Trent trying on Tyler's Davy Crockett cap

Here are some fun pictures from Ava & Trent's playdate at Kelley and Steve's new house in Cypress...right by us! YAY!!

Cavitt’s Farewell Bash

A friend is moving in a few weeks and threw a farewell bash. Trent and I went and he had a great little play date with other kids his age. It was so fun watching him play with other kids for a change!
