He gets it from his Dad

(2 Posts 1 day!!)

This is nothing more than a hilarious picture post regarding my child’s fashion choice this morning! We had a late morning thanks to Daylight Savings Time! We woke up when we should have been leaving for church. Anyways…Trenton insisted on playing outside in his PJs! What ever, the funniest thing was he also insisted on wearing shoes! Check out these photos! He gets his keen fashion sense from Dad!

You can tell a lot about someone just by looking at their shoes!

This looks like a great outfit for scooping Slugger’s prizes out of the yard!

   

Looks like someone wore himself out!

He is even laughing at himself!

Gosh I love this kid!

Swing batter, batter, SWING!

Well baseball season is in full effect.We have been lucky that our pre-season games have ALL been away! So far we have proven to have a much better team this season! We hosted the CCISD tournament this weekend and it is kind of bitter sweet to have the season starting again! We didn’t make the championship game, but we did ok!?!? I love baseball..HELLO I’m married to a baseball coach…but I don’t love chasing my almost 2 year old around the bleachers and soccer fields! We went to the Thursday and Friday game and to be honest Trenton did better than expected. It is hard to attend the games that start at 6 or 7 because that is usually bath and sleep time! He is a trooper and has a great time! There have been a lot of new bribes snacks being introduced lately! I do what I have to do to keep my sanity and support my husband! Here are a few pics from Thursdays game! We played Pearland which the assistant coach is Gene’s best friend… a few weeks back he commented “Man, this must be such an easy and fun age!” I totally stared at him and said sarcastically “It sure is”. After Thursday game of seeing Trenton RUN for 2.5 straight hours he retracted that comment and wished me GOOD LUCK this season! HA!

So here is what a typical baseball game is like for Trenton….UP the bleachers, DOWN the bleachers….ACROSS the bleachers and FALL!

This is up the bleachers…before he decided to fall climb down….

A great example of those new SNACKS i mentioned earlier!                                                                                                                       

Hanging on the field after the game with Daddy.

How incredibly cute is all of Trenton’s new baseball gear! His sweatshirt has the logo that only the players and coaches wear! He is an official CB Wolverine! The saddest part of baseball season is that Trenton can identify Gene on the field and through out the game he will start crying and look out the fence and say “I want Daddy”. Breaks my heart, but kind of sweet at the same time because I see Gene’s face light up when he hears it!

Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose……

The last couple of weeks have been rough. We started off with a cough that decided to stick around for 4+ days and cause us to take Visit #1 to see the Pedi! We got some meds and as we started to get over the cough we woke up with Pink Eye in both eyes! This caused a call in to the Dr for prescription #2! Pink Eye quickly went away and we thought we were on our way to freedom when…..I was up all night with Trenton screaming and running a 102.4 temperature with little relief from Motrin and Tylenol! This lead to Visit #2 and prescription #3! Whew! The Dr assured me we are DONE! Geez I hope so! It has been a rough few weeks!

Well here is how Sunday went:

Go to church, come home and take a nap….Wake up from nap to an even crankier Trenton, but NO FEVER so….

We bundled up and went outside to play on our swing set!

 We even went outside to play with bubbles!! BTW: The hat was Trenton’s doing!

 

After my sleepless night Trenton and I went to the doctor, Target and then back home for a much needed nap (that didn’t happen until several hours later!) We decided to bust out the Play-dough and the new accessories we bought today at Target and have fun! It wasn’t as bad as I expected! Trenton had a blast! I bought him the baking set!

Notice the face and the spots on his shirt….MEDICINE vs TRENTON (not sure who won?!?)

Play Dough Time!

And totally off subject of my already scatter brained blog. Trenton wanted to wear Daddy’s hat tonight! How cute!

Trenton and Daddy also have a new evening routine! Daddy gets home and Trenton hands him his golf  club and says “Ball, Daddy, Ball?!” He loves to chase the golf balls as Gene hits them in the front yard! It is nice that they are developing their own little things! It’s so hard with Gene coaching all of the time!

Confessions of a Shopaholic!

No I haven’t seen the movie nor am I talking about it. I am pretty pumped about the awesome deals I have stumbled upon lately. I for what ever reason seem to find ridiculously good deals on things! Probably because I am a cheap person and I feel that paying full price for something is silly, BUT mostly it’s luck! There have been a few items I have wanted to get Trenton, but cannot bring myself to spend the obscene amount of money they cost. So you ask yourself “What can $60 buy you in the Flores House?” Well let me show you:

Little Tikes Kitchen

(fully loaded with sizzling & boiling sounds)

(Retail $100) MY PRICE $38

Battery Operated Bubble Machine (batteries included)

(Retail $14.99) MY PRICE $8.88

And last but certainly not least…

TRICYCLE

(Retail $45.99) MY PRICE $9.98

I am super pumped about the tricycle. I thought it was a dream when it said $9.98 on the sign so I thought well if it’s not then no harm done by doing a price check! Trenton loves it. Sadly his legs are about 1 inch too short so Daddy or maybe PawPaw will add some extensions to the pedals!

Here is Trenton playing with his new toys:

Well I hope everyone is as excited as I am! Trenton and I were both sick yesterday and we spent endless hours in doctor’s offices. Trenton was really good and I intended on only 1 toy, but what can you do?!? I LOVE TO SHOP! We are both hyped up on medications and back at work and school, BUT I wish I could be a SAHM so I can cuddle with my little guy any time I want!

On another note my parents came to visit on Sunday! It was so nice to see them. I know they only live an hour away, but it’s hard to get out there to see them with our crazy schedule. We made dinner and enjoyed their company!

Trenton, Nana and Paw Paw

Thank you Nana for Trenton’s new ARMY GREEN Little Tikes dump truck! He loves to push it around!!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND HAPPY SHOPPING! BTW: I find most of my awesome deals at TARGET!

I Heart Valentine’s Day

Trenton worked very hard on the Valentine’s for his friends at school! Ok so maybe Mommy did, but aren’t they super cute?!?  Trenton was a Valentine party animal this year. He had his party at school then I picked him up early and we headed to Brady’s for even more fun! I got this idea from FamilyFun.com

Back

Not a super great picture, but this is Trenton leaving for school! Love the shirt!

 

Brady had a Heartastic Valentine’s Party for all of his friends. Ms. Kim made heart cupcakes, heart pizza’s, heart krispies, heart candy and foam hearts to play and color on! It was so great to see all of the kids playing together. We got to break in Brady’s sandbox and ALL of his toys! Thank you so much for inviting us over! I can’t think of a better way to have spent Valentine’s Eve!

Trenton, Hannah, Brady and Cooper eating the heart goodies!

Ryan and Trenton breaking playing with the Bubble machine! I am super jealous b/c we need one of these!

And then there were 2! Trenton and Brady disappeared upstairs while everyone The Mommies exchanged Valentine’s. Kim and I made our way up there and they cracked us up for hours! Literally! I think Trenton and I stayed WAY past Brady’s bedtime! That’s ok, Kim and I had a blast as well! Our hubbies both had games so it was nice to keep each other company! We always chat about how the boys never seem to “play together”. I mean they usually play in the same room, but certainly not with the same toys! Well Trenton and Brady were like 2 peas in a pod! They ran, played, danced, crawled around…did I mention run!!! It is nice to see them getting along so well!

Trenton you crawl out first while I keep a look out for Mommy!

 

I think my friend is hiding in there!

For all those who know me and know how crazy I am about germs and dirt, you can only imagine what was caked all over my child. From pizza to sand to icing to well whatever else you can think of! Well Kim and I were sitting in the play room when the boys brought us PJ’s soooooo what did we do well….we did what ALL women do:

We bathed them…TOGETHER!

What a great Valentine’s weekend it has been. We spent tonight with friends and it was great!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
