It is a singing and dancing church camp. This was Trenton’s first year to go and he loved it. They learn several songs and get to make new friendships. We took turns taking a dropping the kids off. The 1st graders got picked up mid day so I usually did the drop off on my way to the office. </p> <p align="center">Poor Brooklyn having to ride with these crazy boys!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-MaqBXVkbBNA/UulzucloTBI/AAAAAAAAJyM/o9i8BeAEPyc/s1600-h/933948_10200824048617431_1453277138_n%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="933948_10200824048617431_1453277138_n" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="933948_10200824048617431_1453277138_n" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1z8sTwbMpAI/UulzvPtV2AI/AAAAAAAAJyQ/pS7yF0oVBdY/933948_10200824048617431_1453277138_n_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="374" height="413"></a></p> <p align="center">Each grade level is a different color. 3rd Grade was pink & 1st Grade was purple.

She is new to the school & district, but will fit in nicely. She has a long teaching background and has such a joy for the kids. Her favorite color is green and her expectations are high for these little ones! I love that she holds them accountable and is making them responsible for their actions! </p> <p align="center">Trenton & Mrs. Ewer at Meet the Teacher night! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dL1RCZfXrCU/Uulx2KgdOSI/AAAAAAAAJw8/moPC1sKsUUY/s1600-h/533724_10200890751604964_95735677_n5.jpg"><img title="533724_10200890751604964_95735677_n" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="533724_10200890751604964_95735677_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-R-GETASuVpQ/Uulx2zpvNtI/AAAAAAAAJxE/EckXjbqNSUc/533724_10200890751604964_95735677_n_.jpg?imgmax=800" width="279" height="471"></a></p> <p align="center"> 1st Day of 1st Grade</p> <p align="center">I never in my life thought I would let my child go to his first day of school in athletic shorts, but that is the style so who am I to stop him!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-fxf0_SXPTUI/Uulx3laLHyI/AAAAAAAAJxM/AOlpe5Y_Mx8/s1600-h/558805_10200912396346069_1971431401_%25255B1%25255D.jpg"><img title="558805_10200912396346069_1971431401_n" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="558805_10200912396346069_1971431401_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Oguq0V0hrx4/Uulx4OV6QMI/AAAAAAAAJxU/iFVMgx3eB80/558805_10200912396346069_1971431401_%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="273" height="459"></a></p> <p align="center">Trenton & Brooklyn (age 6)</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-cGJ-gdvNrOk/Uulx4yjrvbI/AAAAAAAAJxc/f4Tm3YNRb0Y/s1600-h/999215_10200912395106038_1030882981_n.jpg"><img title="999215_10200912395106038_1030882981_n" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="999215_10200912395106038_1030882981_n" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-GWMh_9yeqEc/Uulx5bdYX8I/AAAAAAAAJxk/znWh5awUM5Y/999215_10200912395106038_1030882981_n_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="389" height="329"></a> </p> <p align="center">Scott (8), Will (8), Trenton & Brooklyn</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kepfOZ0Ruek/Uulx54q2BTI/AAAAAAAAJxs/2lA5FqsJdN8/s1600-h/1239985_10200912394026011_137190273_n.jpg"><img title="1239985_10200912394026011_137190273_n" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="1239985_10200912394026011_137190273_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FUSU7hbMnWw/Uulx6hJUuMI/AAAAAAAAJx0/EwgW6BNY35U/1239985_10200912394026011_137190273_n_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="417" height="345"></a> </p> <p align="center">My sweet boy sitting at his desk.

He had a couple of friends in his class and it is a lot of fun to see him grow. I am glad I walked him inside. I honestly think I wanted to cry more this year than last year. I made sure to run the babies to school first and then get back so I could walk with him to school. </p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-17503892047940904652014-01-28T16:57:00.001-06:002014-01-28T16:57:18.646-06:00Tooth Fairy Visit #1<p align="center">Well Trenton lost his first tooth on September 10, 2013!! He was super excited because he lost it at school. When you lose your teeth at school they give you a REALLY cool treasure box to carry it home in. Well when you are 6 and excited you take your tooth out and show your friends. Which means you drop it in the grass, cannot find it, call Mom crying at work and then write the tooth fairy a note explaining! </p> <p align="center">None the less, my baby boy is growing up WAY TO FAST!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DDcsWu8Zbfg/Uug1yhsxCJI/AAAAAAAAJwk/j7cTftjqRCw/s1600-h/09%25252010%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img title="09 10" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="09 10" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tHku-UnHG5A/Uug1zEOdi4I/AAAAAAAAJwo/_3FAUOWhYeQ/09%25252010_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="394" height="515"></a></p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-83071804164666080762014-01-23T12:32:00.001-06:002014-01-23T12:32:53.368-06:00Labor Day 2013<p align="center">So my big camera is still not working. Now the button that you push to take pictures is magically missing. I am taking pictures with my phone which is becoming an epic fail! My parents planned this camping trip on the HOTTEST DAY in September! I mean it was H-O-T! The kids and I went without Gene. He had a FFL party or 2 that he had to be at. We made it one night and most of the next day before we headed home. I could not handle Peyton crying and not sleeping because she was hot. </p> <p align="center"> My brother Joe brought his 2 small swimming pools for the kids. We all brought bikes, chairs, games and food! The kids played football and washers. They ran around, went on trails and there was even a small playground near our campsite! I was not about to sleep in a tent with my kids so I brought a blow up mattress and we had a cabin. Apparently my mattress was fancy because everyone was calling our cabin Hotel Flores. If I am going to camp, I am going to camp in style!</p> <p align="center">It was a lot of fun and can’t wait to do it again…when it is cooler! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xYrD20Vo6R4/UuFgPsRE2DI/AAAAAAAAJvI/I3liW9KyvUQ/s1600-h/collage%2525201%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="collage 1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="collage 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-inbnr3YSdmw/UuFgQQpmTtI/AAAAAAAAJvQ/7WGqT46tzXA/collage%2525201_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="491" height="491"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-j6N1eAn7Foo/UuFgRG01gBI/AAAAAAAAJvU/Z4x66aQfVOk/s1600-h/collage%2525202%25255B8%25255D.jpg"></p><img title="collage 2" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="collage 2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-546tOZ0rWw8/UuFgRlnkYfI/AAAAAAAAJvg/J9C5lqcBk48/collage%2525202_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="491" height="491"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hD6cwqeLa6s/UuFgSKcOsBI/AAAAAAAAJvk/5jEU0xjqEg0/s1600-h/Collage%2525203%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img title="Collage 3" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Collage 3" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9GyzDKXodw8/UuFgSv8n4jI/AAAAAAAAJvw/RXvEnlMxpmo/Collage%2525203_thumb%25255B11%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="508" height="508"></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-n863ZJbYK8U/UuFgTO_RhtI/AAAAAAAAJv4/klv2wyvmlNI/s1600-h/collage%2525204%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img title="collage 4" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="collage 4" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SI5inP58HC0/UuFgT_uxbYI/AAAAAAAAJv8/kpnA-AfY7l4/collage%2525204_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="509" height="509"></a> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p align="center">Sweet shot of my babies before school in their festive gear!</p> <p align="center">Trenton (6), Peyton (1) and Trace (2)</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CA2cDrTdGRg/UuFgUL8HywI/AAAAAAAAJwI/406QOLkr95I/s1600-h/1467457_10201432815676227_5681952_n%25255B41%25255D.jpg"><img title="1467457_10201432815676227_5681952_n" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="1467457_10201432815676227_5681952_n" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-SA7Nbx2bEQ4/UuFgU4OvoRI/AAAAAAAAJwM/xccQTNEyJRI/1467457_10201432815676227_5681952_n_thumb%25255B39%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="485" height="448"></a></p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-26919711809036198512014-01-23T12:13:00.001-06:002014-01-23T12:17:27.710-06:00Peyton’s 1st Birthday<div align="center">
My how time has flown. Peyton turned 1 years old on July 19, 2013! I can hardly believe that we were blessed with such a perfect little girl and it has been a year ago! For Peyton’s 1st birthday I did it a little different than the boys. We were crunched on time since just coming back from vacation and the little ones were sick. We decided to do a family only party at Mom and Dad’s house. It was perfect. The big kids played on a water slide, Dad grilled and I did some minor details to the house! </div>
<div align="center">
Peyton is such a sweet, kind and smart little girl. I love that she is so much more calm than the boys ever were. She is fearless, but calm & compliant. Hopefully I can still say that when she is in her teens! </div>
<div align="center">
Gretchen made her cute little outfit for her!! You can still see the yucky signs of impetigo on her face. Bless her sweet little heart. She didn’t feel sick or act sick, but her infection was pretty bad. </div>

Peyton and I actually spent her birthday weekend together without Daddy & the boys. They headed to Austin to watch Uncle Luis play. While they were gone we shopped and got Peyton’s ear pierced! She only cried for a second and hasn’t messed with them since!</div>

My kids are really no fun when it comes to smash cakes. I don’t know if I am just overly crazy with them about being clean, but NONE of them really dig into their cakes.

We met up with our favorite families from Del Rio the Hill’s and had a great time. We checked into the most amazing Gulf Shores Cadmiums! The Hill’s have been staying here for over 13 years and we are so excited to have been invited to join in their family tradition! The beach was so peaceful! The boys loved it and Peyton was a little unsure about the sand. She enjoyed the pool, but I think the sound of the ocean caused her to be exhausted because she slept most of the vacation! Chelsea is a pretty amazing photographer so our entire vacation is professionally done!! </p> <p align="center">Day 1 and Peyton has Sam Ray & Jackie wrapped around her finger! These two are getting married in March and are going to make INCEDIBLE parents! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FNPksz_BgWQ/Ugk5K0vB1FI/AAAAAAAAJpE/KNh7dRjKXhQ/s1600-h/PeytonCollage4.jpg"><img title="Peyton Collage" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Peyton Collage" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0XNFG0wMH_c/Ugk5LWaJaxI/AAAAAAAAJpM/O-0Sa4dso4k/PeytonCollage_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="513" height="513"></a></p> <p align="center">Searching for shells, digging holes and building sandcastles were daily events! We also went crab hunting at night! The water in Port A is so clear and there is actual white sand! We would joke with other vacationers because we live 20 minutes from the coast, but drove 4 hours for clear water! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WokWlYp7UaA/Ugk5MNZff0I/AAAAAAAAJpU/Voef46uiGlw/s1600-h/ShellsCollage3.jpg"><img title="Shells Collage" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Shells Collage" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-A7HCIaexR70/Ugk5MthbbVI/AAAAAAAAJpc/B9baEQBp_50/ShellsCollage_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="509" height="509"></a></p> <p align="center">On any given day you would find the adults sitting in the chairs in the water! The kids played and played. We had such a relaxing time!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HyEZgDAXn9c/Ugk5N8QJUfI/AAAAAAAAJpk/aJVHCWDc7h4/s1600-h/BeachBumsCollage4.jpg"><img title="Beach Bums Collage" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Beach Bums Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-AV5aeeEd7y0/Ugk5Odc2EBI/AAAAAAAAJps/JEfiSFL4py0/BeachBumsCollage_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="546" height="546"></a> </p> <p align="center">We would all head up to the condos for lunch and usually we would head to the pool. Peyton took naps most days while we were at the pool and we could see our room so it was nice. Next year I will not forget the video monitor! </p> <p align="center">The kids were having dance parties, watched TV and just played.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nV1VHGbFCSI/Ugk5P_ULzEI/AAAAAAAAJp0/aSb51XYI34U/s1600-h/CondoFunCollage3.jpg"><img title="Condo Fun Collage" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Condo Fun Collage" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pHZLXUfi6ko/Ugk5QzoFtnI/AAAAAAAAJp8/rQY9Iie4xAc/CondoFunCollage_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="535" height="195"></a> </p> <p align="center">A few of my favorite priceless family moments that Chelsea captured for us! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nMkJFJLT2KQ/Ugk5RR3LJSI/AAAAAAAAJqE/XpNn3GHVWZ4/s1600-h/Fam%252520Moments%252520Collage.jpg"><img title="Fam Moments Collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Fam Moments Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-h_YCuM_IbKc/Ugk5R0UMv0I/AAAAAAAAJqI/NmoXaY94eyk/Fam%252520Moments%252520Collage_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="547" height="547"></a> </p> <p align="center">Chelsea, Jackie, Sam Ray, Erin & Mary Hill were the most amazing hosts! We cannot thank you for the best summer vacation. We plan to do this for the years to come. Gene and Sam Ray have been best friends since they were little. They grew up together and now it’s sweet to watch our families grow together. Maybe in a couple of years they will have a little one to take to the beach. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-grc_DjCY0ME/Ugk5TCp2N9I/AAAAAAAAJqU/s_flsTk_HFs/s1600-h/Friends%252520Collage.jpg"><img title="Friends Collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="Friends Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tujbsYbp3IM/Ugk5UF-fx7I/AAAAAAAAJqc/kyJiB_NdgW4/Friends%252520Collage_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="534" height="534"></a> </p> <p align="center">My twinkies!

He does EVERYTHING on his own time frame. He is demanding and stubborn, but will defend his brother & sister at the drop of a hat. He has a big heart and does love to cuddle. He cracks us up, hence the bucket on the head picture. He isn’t shy at all! He is the light in our life and definitely keeps us going! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7dToi2k1V7s/Ugk5a1MwRBI/AAAAAAAAJrk/n3g6zsJWwko/s1600-h/TraceCollage4.jpg"><img title="Trace Collage" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Trace Collage" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DCj8d6qBZ2c/Ugk5buOAyiI/AAAAAAAAJrs/8h-BhVT93f4/TraceCollage_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="538" height="538"></a></p> <p align="center">Peyton is the sweet princess. She eats and sleeps! STILL even at almost a year old. She adores her brothers and is learning very quickly how to manipulate them! Her big eyes just steal your heart. She enjoyed vacation as much as a baby could. It was hilarious to watch her in her float at the pool. She just kicked around like a little fish! </p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YfWpnA309es/Ugk5cYRM1tI/AAAAAAAAJrw/lWL3V_ZToSM/s1600-h/Peyton%2525202%252520Collage%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="Peyton 2 Collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Peyton 2 Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-cd-3HtwDl80/Ugk5dFjPtYI/AAAAAAAAJr0/_y5Czt6y3sc/Peyton%2525202%252520Collage_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="532" height="532"></a></p> <p align="center">Trace ended up having double ear infections and Peyton got impetigo while we were on vacation. This landed us in the urgent care immediately upon our arrival home. The kids travelled well and were very well behaved on vacation.

They understand how hard it is to find a sitter to go out to dinner or have difficult it is to take a bunch of kids to a restaurant. They enjoy cooking out and letting the kids play. It was just the perfect introduction to our summer! My sweet neighbor and great friend Rhonda has been better than me this year at taking pictures when we are all together!! I am so thankful since my big camera is broken and well I am chasing around a 2.5 year old and an almost 1 year old! </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-gCs62rcS0-U/UgUvy0nPVQI/AAAAAAAAJlM/dL_DNY681QI/s1600-h/June%252520Collage%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="June Collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="June Collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-GnHkIMtjA6M/UgUvzedmJUI/AAAAAAAAJlU/yipnZJ60LVU/June%252520Collage_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="534" height="572"></a></p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-30745742465488265362013-08-08T13:35:00.001-05:002013-08-08T13:35:02.201-05:00Kinder at a Glance<p align="center">I cannot believe how much Trenton has grown up now that Kindergarten is over! He is such a mature little boy. His interests are changing from wrestling and cars to Baseball & sports! I had such a great time being a first time kinder Mom! I feel like a pro for 1st grade and when the littles start school! </p> <p align="center">The most important thing that I learned this year was to let him make his own choices (even what he wears!) and have fun! They are only little kids for a short time and I want them to enjoy it. I really feel blessed that I got to be home with Trenton for most of his first semester of kinder! I got to eat lunch with him when I wanted to and attend programs. There was no better look than seeing his face light up when the littles and I would show up to school to join him for lunch (at 10:30 AM)!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bUBiSB0kkIk/UgPkzpBIhfI/AAAAAAAAJkk/-ZHcdxfphRo/s1600-h/K%2525201%252520collage%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="K 1 collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="K 1 collage" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9MBs7vXVACk/UgPk0BahFyI/AAAAAAAAJks/I4y5rwjY6VU/K%2525201%252520collage_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="527" height="527"></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PmwdUknv2ns/UgPk0uY4ZZI/AAAAAAAAJk0/dKm64CxO_Es/s1600-h/k2%252520Collage%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="k2 Collage" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="k2 Collage" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-IyxfvRnV8fA/UgPk1IUGxeI/AAAAAAAAJk8/4Erv04988wg/k2%252520Collage_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="528" height="528"></a></p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-37600069384972202032013-08-08T13:03:00.001-05:002013-08-08T13:19:41.100-05:00When I grow up Class of 2025<p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-E4KM1spKbZ8/UgPdi09BFjI/AAAAAAAAJkM/zk8lJblmtuE/s1600-h/t3%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="t3" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="t3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-P6R2CJQxzPo/UgPdjDMOe3I/AAAAAAAAJkU/csl4agEzDGE/t3_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="419" height="291"></a> </p> <p align="center">It is so exciting to see what Trenton says he wanted to be at the beginning of kindergarten!

MY MOM DOWNLOADED THEM AND THEIR COMPUTER CRASHED! SO BUMMED.</u></em> </p> <p align="center">April 14, 2013 we had Trenton’s 6th birthday party at Main Event. Trenton has been waiting until he was in Kindergarten to get to decide where to have his party. He is super obsessed with wrestling right now so I got him a wrestling cake. Gene took him to Wrestlmania a few weeks back and he has been obsessed with John Cena ever since! We had a great turn out for the party and Trenton had a blast. </p> <p align="center">We started off with an hour of bowling! </p> <p align="center">Then we headed to the party room for pizza, drinks, cakes and his favorite part GIFTS! </p> <p align="center">He got so many awesome presents from his friends. He is really one lucky kid to have so many friends to share his birthday with! </p> <p align="center">Then we headed to play Laser Tag. Trace & Peyton sat this one out, but they were in good hands with Aunt Laurie and Nana! </p> <p align="center">Finally the kids all got $10 playing cards for all of the arcade games! </p> <p align="center">This was by far the easiest, but LONGEST party I have ever thrown. We had an awesome party host who took care of us and made it very easy! I would highly recommend a party at Main Event on a Sunday because you get a much better deal! </p> <p align="center">Happy Birthday to my sweet first born!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8pNwoPf0KgQ/UgPcg1JzU2I/AAAAAAAAJgc/Pq0tBChAD8Q/s1600-h/IMAG0571%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMAG0571" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="IMAG0571" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-u0jcafVTrCg/UgPchcCdV1I/AAAAAAAAJgk/RB0qhcFBvkk/IMAG0571_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="274" height="359"></a></p> Gene, Stacy and Trentonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14535436386655289801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086109831804760976.post-15991399183462073762013-08-08T12:57:00.001-05:002013-08-08T12:57:39.813-05:00Trenton – 6 years old<p align="center">I can remember the day like it was yesterday. My sister Laurie took me to the doctor and I was hooked up to the stress test machine. They left and came back to tell me we were having a baby today. 6 weeks early! It was quite the fiasco because I had nothing packed and Gene had testing so it was like pulling teeth to get his class covered (thank you Kim Brewer)!</p> <p align="center">Trenton you are such a sweet, kind and caring little boy. You are very emotional, but care so much about others it melts my heart. You are generous in all aspects of your life. You are happy if everyone else is happy. Kindergarten has really matured you. You are hilarious and keep your Dad & I laughing. You are the best big brother to both Trace & Peyton (who adores you more than life itself).</p> <ul> <li> <div align="center">Height: 42 inches</div> <li> <div align="center">Weight: 41 lbs</div> <li> <div align="center">Reading: Excellent – you will hopefully finish kinder a reading level ahead of where you are expected to be</div> <li> <div align="center">Favorite Book: Bible / Dr. Seuss – Hop on Pop</div> <li> <div align="center">Favorite Movie: Wreck it Ralph</div> <li> <div align="center">Favorite Character: John Cena (wrestling)</div> <li> <div align="center">Favorite Sport: Baseball (showing interest in basketball)</div> <li> <div align="center">Favorite Team: Texans </div> <li> <div align="center">Biggest Compliment from others: “How do you wipe that smile off his face?

It was a nice quick get away and I really never take a ton of pictures when I go. Easter is pretty big deal at the kids schools with Easter Egg hunts and class parties. Since we were going out of town I had to skip those celebrations, but the kids had fun regardless. </p> <p align="center">I was only able to snap a less than great picture of my Peyton in her Easter gear for school! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-riwsX979Ahk/UfAvrbZZrcI/AAAAAAAAJbE/jsc647ENdxQ/s1600-h/DSCN08453.jpg"><img title="DSCN0845" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="DSCN0845" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ih0RFi43-vY/UfAvrzIKfzI/AAAAAAAAJbM/22dW0t59uvY/DSCN0845_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="345"></a> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uz2jVwnIs0I/UfAvsfatVtI/AAAAAAAAJbU/Dvof_ajDIjs/s1600-h/DSCN08443.jpg"><img title="DSCN0844" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="DSCN0844" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qNKTLT6_grA/UfAvsgWIxMI/AAAAAAAAJbc/RPmgC0Sxj_U/DSCN0844_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="445" height="341"></a> </p> <p align="center">We headed to Del Rio and it was a pretty quick trip.

I worked most of the week, but took Thursday and Friday off. Friday (3/15/13) Tasha and I decided to take the kids to grab lunch and head to Challenger Park. We love this park because there are 4 playgrounds and a lot of space to roam. The kids played for almost 2 hours before Gene called and said he was picking us up on the boat. This is by far one of the best things about living on the water and having a boat. Impromptu boat rides! Tasha and I had 8 kids total with us. We all loaded on the boat and headed out for a spring break ride! </p> <p align="center">This was Peyton’s first boat ride! Besides the fact that I put her life jacket on backwards she enjoyed it! </p> <p align="center">Exhibit A of the backwards life jacket and her excitement! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Lc7ejPIL-Tw/UYLV07U6Z9I/AAAAAAAAJTs/Z3IDchG8kqQ/s1600-h/DSCN0802%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSCN0802" border="0" alt="DSCN0802" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kmFToQQEhOA/UYLV1Hr55BI/AAAAAAAAJT0/fbs73Xf1R50/DSCN0802_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="290" height="376"></a> </p> <p align="center">Smiles all around from Scott & Trenton</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2JSZKWs4sINu-6zB78-8CwbdwqTqh5Jza6BH2vBvMvRDjRThav16ZQlVVwpq6B2uJ2CeE3Cy0W7DHTSRxL7-35StTZD_2-j8zfZdxbB4eJJDZu7bakUk11ivHodtfjKv9LkujGbJijBY/s1600-h/DSCN0803%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSCN0803" border="0" alt="DSCN0803" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UDS1ZSj8t5c/UYLV2PrLdHI/AAAAAAAAJUE/Bdod4va6gpc/DSCN0803_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="455" height="349"></a> </p> <p align="center">Brooke and Yasmeen posing on the front of the boat</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jwC38vA5dJo/UYLV2XKXEzI/AAAAAAAAJUM/IgRa_wLgLEw/s1600-h/DSCN0804%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSCN0804" border="0" alt="DSCN0804" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkJ7rCymmA5JdzyP66Pl5DfF6vHxPQC22xdXWY10OJpE8FaS58PIGwHUbJ0CARetqEEDKOvA3O-hz6wWK6hmXN3SOoAqg80xVSXsQUJCv0E5klurxcWW4n0pB5TdYy4VyIKnYb9jh3Ew/?imgmax=800" width="458" height="351"></a> </p> <p align="center">Will the Krill.

Trenton really wanted to go and I finally agreed to take them. Gene had a game so I figured “How hard could it be to take 3 to the Moody Gardens Aquarium?” Well I am here to tell you it went better than I expected. I am pretty good about letting the kids run free (within reason). I try my best not to hover or chase after them, but the Aquarium was very busy and the boys sometimes took off in different directions. For the most part it was a great time.</p> <p align="center">Trenton is at the age where he is super curious. He wants to know the names of the fish, where they live, why the look the way they do and so on. He asks a lot of questions. It is one of my favorite phases!</p> <p align="center">My crew arriving at The Aquarium!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dimWaf7_ZVw/UYLSTbhbyPI/AAAAAAAAJSE/uefkdDplSd0/s1600-h/DSCN0787%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCN0787" border="0" alt="DSCN0787" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jxrhdcjvCco/UYLST-GnwDI/AAAAAAAAJSM/YzW1jWsHa18/DSCN0787_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="314"></a> </p> <p align="center">I just love this picture of the boys watching the sea lions swim around</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-X2qN9-Nx_N4/UYLSUFzm0tI/AAAAAAAAJSU/r2GM-yuxOj8/s1600-h/DSCN0788%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCN0788" border="0" alt="DSCN0788" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-p_DKQM-2tTI/UYLSUdi2eoI/AAAAAAAAJSc/npcwrOgOsPs/DSCN0788_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="314"></a> </p> <p align="center">This may have been one of those moments where Trace was getting ready to run off.

It seems like as soon as baseball season starts so does the crazy weather. We had a full day ahead of us on Saturday March 2, 2013. We had to be at the Sportsplex by 9AM! Gene has his own tournament so it was me plus three ALL day! The weather was FREEZING and WINDY! I can hardly believe we made it all day. We were at the field from 9AM – 4:30PM. My kiddoes did well and my sweet neighbor may have taken Trace for a nap so we could enjoy Trenton’s first game! </p> <p align="center">Sitting with his team before lining up for the parade<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-s9Ae8llGgRY/UTj0ic4zVaI/AAAAAAAAJKg/GYiqHv_hjec/s1600-h/DSCN07133.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="DSCN0713" border="0" alt="DSCN0713" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EOvWWx8o5O8/UTj0itaUGDI/AAAAAAAAJKo/mvym8iPbsLo/DSCN0713_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="502" height="384"></a> </p> <p align="center">Trenton’s team this year is the Storm.

The boys are pretty close. Trenton works really hard to be a good big brother. Trace wants to do everything Trenton can do, but better. Both boys LOVE to read. We will read 5 books before bed some nights. Trenton is at a Level C at school and is working very hard to get to a Level D. </p> <p align="center">I found the boys one night before bad reading in the kitchen. Trenton will usually read his school book to me while I cook dinner.<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3C8_qEPv-IA/UTjrua0ScRI/AAAAAAAAJH4/_di2qFskvJU/s1600-h/DSCN0683%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCN0683" border="0" alt="DSCN0683" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-6GaVR-ltsZg/UTjrusHTlWI/AAAAAAAAJIA/_DL9KGVW4e0/DSCN0683_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="314"></a> </p> <p align="center">Peyton is one lucky little girl.

Peyton had been running a very low grade fever all week. She is cutting 4 teeth so I thought nothing of it. We arrived at her appointment to find she had a 103.5 fever! She was still smiling and giggling even though it was so high. They tested for the flu, NEGATIVE! They did a CBC, iron low/white count slightly up. We had to wait until her fever came down and for her to urinate. Well an hour later no pee so they had to put a catheter in. I am not much of a worrier, but this scared me. So far everything is ok and she is on antibiotics. My poor baby just keeps on smiling! </p> <p align="center">Doesn’t she look like she has a high fever?? </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lWhQ7vp9EaM/UTEgMzmSjpI/AAAAAAAAJG4/HcJbGHqvE90/s1600-h/DSCN0686%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="DSCN0686" border="0" alt="DSCN0686" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cZnPwzAfLEU/UTEgNeo4iZI/AAAAAAAAJHA/D6WD71IyJQU/DSCN0686_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="314"></a> </p> <p align="center">Look how red her little cheeks and arms were.

They always make a big deal at the schools. Trenton’s class got to wear pajama’s, crazy hats, their favorite Dr. Seuss book and a fuzzy friend to read with.
