Memorial Day Weekend

What a busy weekend we had! Thursday was my birthday so we celebrated by taking the boat down to Kemah. My sister came out to watch Trenton for us so we could have a night alone! We ended up taking some friends with us and had a great time. On Friday we just kept it low key and decided to order pizza and stay in. Trenton loves bubbles and his new thing is to keep a stash of bubbles in his fort! We go out there everyday just so I can blow bubbles and he can try to catch them! Then he slides down and off we go to something else! 

Wondering if he can blow big, big bubbles like Mommy!

DSC04492For Christmas Santa brought Trenton a train table with all the tracks! Normally he tears the tracks apart and plays cars, but lately he has wanted to play with his “Choo-choo” Since that day he plays with it non-stop. Which is nice because Santa was starting to wonder if he/she made a bad gift choice or not. Every little boy LOVES trains so I am happy to see the tracks getting some use!DSC04506 DSC04507

Saturday morning we got up early to get the back yard in order! We had a crawfish boil planned for my birthday on Sunday so we needed to clean up. The hot tub was in bad shape, but once Gene and Trenton got a hold of it, it looked brand new! Our plan is to teach T how to swim as much as we can in there this summer! When we aren’t at Gretchens!

DSC04510 Dad, how long is this going to take? DSC04512 Trenton decided to take a seat once he realized how much he was having to fill up!!DSC04514After the yard work and naps; Gene and I took the boat out with our friends Joe and Gretchen. We had a sitter once again and were able to enjoy the afternoon KID FREE!

Crawfish! OMG! Talk about a crazy day. We woke up to gorgeous weather! I took Trenton to the store with me while Gene ran to get the crawfish. When we walked into Wal Mart the weather was amazing. When we came out I think a mini hurricane blew in! WOW! All that hard work in the back yard for nothing! We moved the party to the garage!

My brave son helping with the crawfish!

DSC04531 I know it seems like this weekend never ends, but really it was nice to be off. Like a mini vacation! We enjoyed brisket and pool time on Monday at Joe and Gretchen’s. Trenton was  extremely a little scared of the water UNTIL…..drum roll please….he slid face first into the water! Now before you turn me into CPS, I will have you know I was right there to catch him and we made it seem like so much fun that we couldn’t keep him out after that! Well he has learned week 1 of water babies for FREE. He can climb out on his own, kick his feet, blow bubbles and lay on his back!

He never seizes to amaze me. He can always make me laugh and I hope everyone else will too. This picture will be used for many future purposes: HS Football/Baseball banquet, Wedding….I think I might frame it and keep it around for girlfriends to see!!!

DSC04555 To close out his incredibly long blog Trenton had his 2 year check up today! I was super surprised to learn that Trenton has grown 4 3/4 inches since October! He has moved to the 94% on height (36 3/4) 75% on weight (31.6 lb) and 100% on head (20 3/4 in). We have a glimmer of hope that he is not going to be a small fry! He is such a healthy kid! His pedi office said they are happy/sad they don’t get to see him any more because he is never sick!
