Getting ready for Halloween

So last year Trenton was sick on Halloween. He had the cutest outfit last year, a giraffe! Even though he was too sick for Halloween fun we still had fun looking at him in his costume. So this year I wanted him to be super cute so here is his costume. Of course this is not him, but we got it in today and he looks awesome.

Sorry about the less than exciting posts lately. Work is crazy and we have been trying to get the house in order. We did paint the kitchen and will be moving to the entry soon. I will hopefully have energy soon to make better posts! I miss you all!

We survived Hurricane Ike!

Well I wanted to let everyone know that we are ok here in the Flores home! We had several trees down and our fence is a little bent, but other than that we are great! I will upload pictures soon. We stayed in Spring for the storm, which was a little better than trying to stick it out at our house. We had a tornado tear through the neighborhood so I am glad we left. My family is fine and without power. We got power back on Monday evening and what a blessing that was! Just in time for Monday Night Football! We grilled and chilled with a few people ! Thank you so much to everyone who pulled together to make this hurricane experience a great one! Things could be worse! God bless those who have severe damage or no home at all. I hope that you are able to recover and move forward. Please let us know if we can do anything for you!

For those of you who may not have power or your day care is closed I will be available on Monday to help watch kids for your teacher work day! Please let me know if I can be of assistance. I will be home with Trenton and it would be my pleasure to help. Like I said we have power!

I love you all and hope you are all safe!

Hurricane Ike......

Let's keep our fingers crossed that Ike doesn't hit Galveston direct! So far he looks like he is going south, but have our trusty Meteorologists ever gotten it right? I went ahead and bought hurricane survival gear just in case. If we don't have a natural disaster it looks like my family will be eating tuna, raviolis, spaghetti-o's & water for a LONG time! We have family and friends in Corpus who have began to evacuate. We have not and will not make that decision until later in the week.

There doesn't seem to be much panic in League City, but we have to think of our little man. If anyone needs a place to stay out of town, let us know. We have friends and family in several surrounding cities!

Better Late then Never.....

Well since Trenton is now 17 months old we decided to take the time to get suckered into spending a ton of money on his 1 year pics! The way I look at it he is 1 all year! So we went to Portrait Innovations and boy were we in for a treat! Now that Trenton can RUN it was a nightmare trying to get him to sit still. I think we took 133 pictures and really only ended up with 20 good shots! We sang If your Happy & you know it clap your hands over & over again. That worked for a while eventhough we had to deal with people judging our singing!! Then we had to move on to snacks! I am glad its over and that we only do this once a year! He really took some great pictures! I love my little boy so much. How can you get mad at this innocent little face?

Can you see him singing "Clap your hands!"

Still singing "...touch your toes"

Look out world, I'm one and on the run!

The Flores Family

So we have moved into our new house and we obviously have internet now. Stay tuned for new home photo's. I cannot seem to locate the camera. I have O.C.D. as many of you know so there are not many boxes to be unpacked. I am sure it is in a very obvious place! Well we are having a blast. Trenton had a very difficult time adjusting to the new place. He would wake up at 2AM and not go back down until 4AM. It was nuts! We have made some changes in our new home routine and we have officially made it a whole week without waking up! Many thanks to all of my fellow Mommies and their advice!

What else is new......

Trenton is able to identify just about every animal and the sounds they make! He is also starting to speak much more clear! We were at Pei Wei for lunch today and as people were leaving he would wave & say :Bye, have a good day!" We were cracking up! We have also been experiencing tantrums! He for whatever reason will scream at the top of his lungs! (Yes we have that kid everyone avoids at a restaurant) New technique of encouraging him to use his signs instead of screaming has been working nicely. He gets excited when we praise him for using his signs! We are reaching a point where we choose to pick up dinner and bring it home. It's much easier on everyone. The school year has started and Trenton is doing great. He has a Best Friend at school. He hugs Trenton every morning and says "I love my best friend, Trenton!" His friend is 4! It's super cute. I love you all and will upload pictures of the house soon!
