HE IS IN MY PLANTER!!!!

I Have Too Many Of These Pictures!!

Oh My Gosh - They are the cutest little things!


I have to admit, having them this close to home can be a little nerve wrecking, but they are so much fun to watch! There are six, yep six little babies and the Mama. They live on both sides of us. There is a den under Marsha's porch (to the West) and then they have another one under Elaine's porch (to the East).

WE'RE SURROUNDED!!!!

The only reason they aren't living under our's is because it is chicken wired to death to make sure she can't get under there! Not to say that she didn't try because she did!!

Trevor and I do "Fox Checks" all day! We run to the windows to see if they are out playing. They run up on the porch, through the grass, under the cars, in and out of my flower planters, all over the place! It's so much fun to watch. There are two of them that have to be the ornery ones in the bunch. They are constantly wrestling and pouncing on everything!

Sad to say that the bunny population around here has seemed to disappear, but as long as they leave Bella alone they can stay!

Rockstars!





Trevor and Abby have started a band!!!

This was too cute! They were actually playing together, and what you can't see is that I am playing the piano! It took a bit for Trevor to get used to someone else playing his drums, but once we got over that they were JAMMIN'!!! We are a musically inclined family, but geeze!!! Better get this kid on the golf course!

Trevy Turns TWO!!!!!!

Trevor and His Bella Cake!

We celebrated Trevor's 2nd Birthday at home with family. We couldn't have had more perfect weather to get together for his special day! (It snowed the next day!!!) He was on birthday overload, with play time and intermissions to open a gift here and there. We finally got through them all around 4 o'clock. Did I mention that he took a two hour nap in the middle of his own party!?!

I bought a little puppy cake for just him. It was so cute, a black and white puppy that was just too cute to pass up. He was so excited about his "Bella" cake! For the record, there was no warning label on the cake regarding what would happen to anything that came into contact with the "cute" black frosting!! Trevor looked like a diesel mechanic for two days... and I don't even want to get into diaper details!!!!

Rob and Chris had a rib "cook-off" that afternoon, so we all had more than cupcakes to eat! Rob just wanted an excuse to use the new grill he got for his birthday!

All in all, it was a great day. He is very spoiled, or very loved... however you want to look at it! Cami took him to Monkey Businez on Friday so he could play his little heart out and then shopping for toys on Monday! Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with us!
He is such a lucky kid!!

Happy Birthday Trev!!!

A Little Late







It seems like this was so long ago already, but at least Im getting them up here!
We spent Easter at our house with the family! This was Trevor's 3rd Easter, but the first that he could really participate in and enjoy! After finding his Easte
r basket, Trevor and I dyed eggs for the first time Easter Morning.
He had ZERO interest in dying the white eggs... but he was all about giving our eggs a tie-dye effect with a few dunks in every color he could get away with! We had an egg hunt in the back yard and I think he found the same eggs over and over thanks to sneeky cousins, uncles, grandmas and grandpas that kept stealing eggs from his basket to re-hide for him to find! Thanks to his Great Grandma we put $8 in the piggy bank! Gotta love those money eggs!!

Thank Goodness those 2 inches of snow we woke up to Easter Morning melted fast because we had a great time! Not to mention that Trevor had chocolate and candy for BREAKFAST every day for a week!
