So You Think You Can Dance.....

OMG! For all you non-texters out there that means Oh My Gosh! Trenton loves music and dancing. I have to emphasize the word LOVE. Any time music is on he is a dancing fool. Finally yesterday after his nap I caught him breaking it down in the den! Moments like this make it all worth it to be a parent! I decided that this could be Trenton's audition tape for my favorite summer show So You Think You Can Dance! With moves like this he is sure to WIN!

If you don't totally crack up during this video then you must not have children. They love to dance and Trenton has now figured out how to clap and dance! He has such rhythm....he gets that from both of his parents! Gene and I love to dance! We actually love to country dance...something you may not have known about us! Cute story: Gene asked me to dance one night 6 years ago and I said yes and we have been together ever since! Love at first sight I guess you could say! (I guess you could say I am still a little mushy about my hubby since we just had out anniversary)

My favorite things to do in 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

We spent New Year's at our house with some friends. Grandma and Grandpa Flores came in town to spoil their grandson! Our New Year celebrating has definetly changed since Trenton has joined our family! We ate and did fireworks and unlike many of our friends we made it to midnight! first time in 2 years! Gene and I have had the last couple of weeks off together and it has been such a joy to spend this time with our son! Trenton is growing up so fast and getting smarter by the minute. He loves to help Mommy and Daddy around the house. Here are a few things that he helped with over the break!

Daddy & Trenton washing the cars!

I love this picture! My boys washing Daddy's new truck

Trenton helping Mommy unload the dishwasher! I wonder how long he will think this is fun?!?

Coloring with his new crayons and books he got from Santa!

And last but certainly not least, BLOGGING like Mommy!

We can hardly beleive that in just a few (4) short months Trenton will be 2! He is on his way to the Terrible Two's, but he is still as sweet as can be. Trenton also started at his new school which has been very difficult transition. He has developed what I call "The Mommy Syndrome". He is so scared that I am going to leave him that he has officially attached himself to my leg! It was sweet at first, but now difficult. He does everything I do and must be every where I am otherwise he throws a massive temper tantrum. I hear this is normal, but very trying for a first time Mommy! His independence still comes out it just takes a little longer!

I hope that everyone is blessed with an awesome 2009!

On this day I married my Best Friend.....

Happy Anniversary Babe!

December 28, 2007

Gene and I were married 1 year ago on this date! We have been together for 6 years we have so much fun, make each other smile and now we have our awesome son. Although the stress of being a parent and both full time employees doesn't always bring out the best in us we truly are in love. I couldn't imagine having a better man in my life! We learn as we go just like everyone else, but it is incredible how in sync we have become over the years! Gene is my best friend and my husband forever! I love you, babe!

Our Special Day!

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year! I wanted to tell you how nice it was to meet you when we went to see Christmas lights. That was a lot of fun. Maybe next year you can show me the North Pole! Just a suggestion!! Thank you for taking a picture with me too.

I guess you agree that I have been a good boy because you brought me everything I asked for and more!!!

Love, Trenton

As you can see Trenton got what every little boy needs:

Train set, shopping cart and basketball goal!

Sing Along Car!

Train Table!

Playground...swings are on the way!

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. We did the Riley Christmas the Sunday before at our house! We had 11 adults and10 kids under the age of 12! Gene was busy assembling the new playground while I helped get ready for the day! It was nice to have everyone over for the holidays! Our first since we just got our new house! Mom and Dad you are the best and I couldn't ask for better parents. The Grandchildren are truly blessed! It felt like the gifts never ended.

Gene has been really sick again this year, I guess it is our new family tradition. We have to quarantine ourselves because Gene gets a really bad case of Strep or Tonsilitis every Christmas! Instead of going to Mom and Dads for traditional feast we had Jack in the Box! We didn't need to infect anyone else! By today I was so tired of being stuck in the house we went to lunch as a family and shopped a little! I have the 2 greatest men in the world to take care of me (or vice versa!) and I love them both!

All in all we had a blast! Trenton also got several Handy Haulers, Noisy Cars (thanks Mom), PLAYDOUGH (Kim I won't go there!) and of course clothes! We are blessed to have our family and friends! Hope everyone has a great New Year!

Also, Mom had her surgery and is doing great!
