Happy Birthday Richard!!!

It was Richard's big 30th birthday yesterday! We all had a fun day together since it happened to land on his day off. Richard's parents offered to take him to lunch at our favorite sandwich joint The Italian Place. It was a lot of fun and Trey had a great time going to lunch with Grandpa Stud and Grandma Princess!


Later that afternoon Stud and Princess watched to boys for us so that we could go to dinner and a movie! When we came back Trey and Grandma Princess had put a sign on the door for Richard. Luckily I had the camera with me so that I could get a quick pic before we went in.

Here is Richard blowing out his candles on the beautiful cake that I had made for him! Yes that says Daddy Cakes on it because that is what Trey calls his dear old dad! Trey looks a little sad in these pictures because it wasn't his birthday and he was a little upset!
And here are the boys eating their cake! Happy Birthday Richie I hope that you had a wonderful day! We all look forward to spending the next 30 years with you! We love you so much you are the best Husband and "Daddy Cakes" that we could ever ask for!

The Evil Doings of the Heat Miser

*(So Richard told me that I use to many of these ! when I write, so for Richard this is going to be ! free)

This morning Trey was playing with these dinosaur magnets that he got for Christmas. I was in the bathroom and he wanted to hang them on something so I told him that he could stick them on the heat vent that was right outside the door in the hall. Well, I need to tell a little about our heater before I go into the rest of the story. Trey is terrified of our heater in the basement. If it ever turns on when Trey is down stairs he books it up the stairs screaming. Also he calls the heater Heat Miser as if it is a real person. Now back to the story. Trey was hanging the magnets on the vent when all of the sudden he started screaming at the top of his lungs. He ran into get Richard and was saying that he was scared. I looked out of the bathroom and realized what had happened. Trey had slide the magnet through the slit in the vent and it had fallen through. I was asking Trey what had happened and he thought the "Heat Miser" had ate the magnet. He was so upset.
Well Richard is such a good Dad that he told Trey that he would get it back. It took like 45 minutes this morning to get the Dino back. The vent was pretty much painted on to the wall so that is why it took so long. Trey just sat there the whole time saying how sorry he was and that it was a accident and wanting to know if we were mad at him. It was so cute and how nice was it of Richard to go to all the effort to get the Dino back. The rest of the morning he would kind of run past the vent and give it a dirty look it was really funny.

Trey Singing and "The Boots"!

We got these boots for Trey this winter season so that he could go out and play in the snow! The first time that it really snowed this year he couldn't wait to get them on and go shovel the driveway with daddy! He was so excited he was in all his gear and was about to go out when these naughty boots made him fall down the stairs! Poor little guy there is tile at the bottom of the stairs and he hit it face first! He busted his lip open and had a huge bloody nose it was a mess! I thought that he would have wanted to stay in and not go out anymore but he still wanted to! We cleaned him up and when out and had a good time! But to this day he still walks around calling these boots his "naughty boots"!

This is just a cute picture that I had to put up of the man singing his little heart out on the coffee table! He is so funny there is a huge mirror that he is looking into! He usually uses that snowman that is behind him as his microphone! It is so funny he stands up there and sings that Katy Perry song 'hot n cold'! He has obviously heard it enough that he knows the words pretty well! But it is so funny! Oh Trey, you gotta love him!!

Richard the Chef & Sledding with Trey!!!

So we went to a neighborhood Christmas Party a few days after Christmas! We played a white elephant game and this is what Richard ended up with!


It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen Richard wear! Don't you all agree! I didn't think that he would really wear it but to get into the spirit of his cooking the next day he through on this wonderful Christmas apron and cooked a wonderful meal for the fam! Thanks so much to whoever decided to give this away!!!

Now even better we took Trey sledding for the first time this year this week and it was so much fun! Trey has been wanting to go for a while now,but we've had to put it off because Trey has had a ear infection! Well, finally the day had come that he was able to go!

We took him to a park that is about a block away from our house that has a ton of hills and all kinds of places that he could sled! Here is Richard and Trey scoping out their location they had chose! Trey didn't really want to be taking pictures but I had to get some of his first sledding trip on the big hills!

Here is Richard and Trey getting ready to take on the hills! Trey was so excited!

Even I got into the action and went with Trey a few times! It was a ton of fun to go sledding with my little guy!
But pretty soon Trey was ready to brave the hill by himself! I couldn't believe he was so brave, but our child is a daredevil and looks fear in the face and laughs! I don't know if that is good or bad! But here he goes! He had so much fun He fell out every time he went alone but he would just lay in the snow laughing it was so cute!


Here is little Jack in his snow suit! He looked totally adorable! He just chilled in the stroller and watched us slide down the hill!
And finally here is Richard my oldest child of them all deciding that he needed to take on a jump!! I don't know if he thought it was a good idea after the fact but it sure was fun to watch! We had a great time and I'm glad the boys have such a fun dad that will go and do these things with them and have just as much fun as they do!

This blog is going to be all pictures because there was just to many to choose from! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!!

Santa and His Elves!!!!

Last week we took the boys to see Santa! We went to the Anniversary Inn to their open house! Santa was there for the kids. So after we were done looking at all the rooms we took them over to see the big man! Trey was so funny he ran right up to Santa but totally forgot what he was suppose to do when he got there! He sat there for a second and then hoped right off with out telling Santa what he wanted! We hurried and stopped him and told him that he forgot to tell him what he wanted, He has after all been talking about what he wanted for the whole tour! So anyway he ran back over to Santa and whispered, "I want a Handy Manny Truck!!" he quickly turned around and ran away!



When I was little Santa's Elves would come to our house and leave us a little present! It would remind us that we needed to be good because they would tell Santa if we deserved Christmas or not! I decided to start this with Trey and it has been so fun! The Elves come once a week usually on Mondays! What we do is just get him a little prize then one of us runs it out to the front door ring the bell and run! Trey runs to the door when ever the door bell rings so it makes it super fun! Every time that he opens the door and sees his little prize on the porch he gets so excited that the elves came to his house! It's been alot of fun and I can't wait to do it with Jack next year with little Jack! Trey talks about it all week and looks forward to the Elves coming to visit his house!
