Back to School!!!

Can you believe that on August 16 Trey is already going back to school! I can't and that is why this morning I didn't even have all his stuff together that he needed to take to school! I guess I just kept thinking it shouldn't be time to go back to school already! Trey has been more than ready and honestly I've been ready for him to go back because he has been so bored! He has been asking me for a solid week everyday how many more days til I can go back to school! He is still going to the same school as last year Union Bilingual Preschool! I wanted him to have consistency and the school was really great last year so I didn't want to change!

Here is the big man! I can't believe that he is in his final year of Preschool!
Trey baby and Daddy!

Richard with both of his boys! Jack was not liking being left out of the pictures!

Trey still has love for his mama even if he is big now!

Trey and Jack waiting.....for what I don't know! I think that Trey thought that he would see other kids going to school today! Little did he know that no one else starts school till later in the week! But this was still cute to see both of them sitting and waiting, maybe having some big deep conversation about Jack being the man of the house while Trey is gone! ;)

Getting ready to go! Trey was excited but not that he had to get up so early that is why he doesn't look so happy in the picture!

But look at this he is just so handsome! I'm one lucky mom to have him as my son!

Finally at the school! I wanted him to have a picture in front of the sign but he was just ready to get into school! I just let him go I would survive without the perfect picture! We got him in and got everything ready to go. We met his new teachers and I think that they are going to be amazing! I can already tell that they are going to do a wonderful job with him! There was few kids in his class from last year and lots of kids that are new this time around! He is going to have a great time! When I picked him up today they said that he was amazing he did everything that he was told and even practiced saying some of his Spanish! I think that it is going to be a great year! Jack missed his brother though, he didn't know what to do without him! He followed me around like a little lost puppy! He asked me the whole 3 hours Trey was gone where he was and then would sadly say "sool"! Poor kid we will get use to it! He wishes that he was in school to! He didn't want to leave Trey behind he wanted to stay with him! He will be going to school soon enough and then I will be the one home all alone with no one to play with...what will I do then? Me and Jack are going to have a fun time just me and him 3 days a week but I know that I can't replace his brother! We are so excited for Trey to be back in school having fun with friends and getting to have cool experiences! He was really tired when he came home and just wanted to go lay on the bed and have a rest! He will get back into the swing of things it is just going to take some time...for all of us!

7 Years!!!!!!!

7 years ago today was the big day, the day that me and the Hubs made it official! After 2 years and 2 months of dating we tied the knot! Somethings have changed since then (we are both a little fatter ;)) Some thing haven't ( we are still as cute as ever together) but it has been the best times of our lives!!! Getting married is the best decision that I've made in my life and hopefully it was Richards best decision also...I'm pretty sure that it was and he will say so if he knows whats good for him ;) We've had a wonderful 7 years of marriage! We've done alot in the last 7 years. We've had good times and some not so great times. But we have always stuck by each other and will continue to! We have a wonderful little family that we have built together and pretty much have a blast everyday of our lives! I love Richard more than the day that I married him and I'm pretty sure that my love for him grows more and more each day! He is a wonderful husband, Daddy and my very best friend in this life. I'm so glad that I get to wake up every morning to the most fantastic man on the planet! I'm one lucky lady, yes indeed! Richard treats me like a princess and I couldn't ask for anything better! Now that I'm done with all that mushy crap that I said that I would write ( I hope that was good enough for you Pam) who wants to know how two crazy kids like us spent our day? Well you asked for it we spent it like this..................

At Church drawing mustaches on our fingers, making each other laugh all through Sacrament (Mine was by far the best)! That is how we roll and yes we drew one on the boys fingers as well! There is no need to be serious and listen during Sacrament if it is your anniversary! We are horrible examples people, even the family in front of us started to do it! I don't even know what to say...good thing that we weren't having lessons about treating your body like a temple. What would we have said then....who cares draw a mustache on yourself, it looks pretty! I look forward to all the many years that me and Richard will have together and all the many more memories like this one that we will make!! I love you Richie Poo!!!

Fair Time!!!

On Thursday we took the boys to the fair! We love to go every year to see all the animals we always go and see if my Grandma Bair put anything in the fair also! We couldn't find anything of hers this year though so it was kind of a disappointment! But we had fun checking out the animals and so did the boys!

One of my favorites was this sheep wearing spandex! Richard kindly named this Sheep Spence after one of our great friends who wears alot of this stuff ;)
I just thought that this was the cutest little thing ever! Every year when I go to the fair I desperately wish that we could have a goat for some reason! I just think they are the cutest little things alive!

Trey braved the ponies again this year! He was such a good rider and he kept saying "run like the wind bullseye!" If you don't know what that is from you must be living under a rock! Sadly I think his "bullseye" was tired and did not run like the wind!

Jack was all kinds of excited to get on the pony for the first time but as soon as Richard put him up there the tears came! He was not having it but we made him stick it out and soon he was having a great time! We had a great time at the fair the boys got balloon and it was just plain great!

I thought that I would give a bit of an update on Trey's leg! After I wrote my last post about it! I went and check on his leg and it seemed to have just gotten bigger and it was now getting red splotches on it! I was getting a little nervous since the swelling had moved down into his knee and it was getting hard for him to bend! I decided that we needed to go back to the Doctor! Trey was ticked he thought for sure that he was going to have to get the needle again! Even after the Doctor had told him that he wouldn't have to get any shots he still didn't believe it til we were out of there! The Doctor checked it out and all seemed to be ok, there was no infection just a little reaction that happens sometimes to about 5% of kids after their 4-5th dose of the DTP shot! He told me to just watch it but that the swelling should start to go down in a couple of days!

Here is what his leg looked like after the DR visit! It looked awful and I just felt so bad for him. I was calm and cool on the outside but in my head all I could think about was something horrible happening to his leg! I kept thinking he was going to have some nasty staff infection or worse that they were going to have to cut his leg off!!! Sorry I think like that sometimes, but at least everything is ok! That night we went down and stayed with Richard's brothers family and that pretty much made Trey feel better! He got to hang out with cousin Carter and they had a great time talking about Disneyland watching a movie about Disneyland and counting down the days til we go! I'm glad that it got his mind off his poor little leg and that he go to have a good time! His leg is now doing much better and the swelling has started to go down! He still has a pretty good sized knobby knee but he is getting better everyday!

It's Hard Being a Mom!!!

Yesterday the boys had their yearly check up with the Doctor. Trey had been really worried about this because he didn't want to get "the needle"! I assured him maybe even promised him that he would not have to get any shots! I knew that he would have to get them next year before he went to school since that is when you get them. So we headed to the Doctor and did our thing. I thought that Jack would have to get one since I had heard from friends that there was a shortage of one of the shots and now they had it! I was totally prepared for that but then our Doctor suggested that we just go ahead and get Trey's school shots done NOW! WHAT!!! I couldn't believe it! Her reasoning was because at this time they had combination shots and next year they might not! So it was either get fewer now or get more later! I didn't really want to do it since I had promised the kid he didn't have to get the needle, but then I thought that it would be better to get less shots now! I didn't know what to do I felt horrible! Unfortunately for Trey we decided that we would just get it over with now! I know I'm an awful mom and I know that because Trey told me so. It was so sad and Richard, I think just wanted to teach me my lesson so I had to hold him down while he screamed bloody murder! Honestly you would have thought we were cutting off one of his limbs ...it was that bad! He survived but had protected his legs all night last night and this morning when he woke up.....


This is what they looked like! The one on the right is honestly twice the size of his other one! It is swollen all the way down to his knee! He can barely move it. It's so sore and swollen! He won't walk on it normal! I hope that it is going to go away soon! I feel so awful!
Mean while he has been doing alot of this today! Curled up in a blanket watching cartoons! I think he just needs to move his leg around to get things flowing but he says that it hurts to much! What to do, what to do! I hope that he starts to feel better soon I wish that I could just take all the hurt away and give it to myself since I'm the one who messed up...royally! I on the other hand have learned a very valuable lesson...never promise your kids anything especially when it comes to going to the doctor!

Hummingbird Season!!!

The first summer that Richard and I lived in our house we discovered that in our backyard there were tons of hummingbirds! We use to sit on our back porch on those long summer nights waiting for the arrival of Trey Baby! We would turn on our back light and just watch them fly around in our flowers! It was so peaceful...then occasionally the neighbors cat would come over and eat them! It did it so often that soon the hummingbirds were gone! It has been a few years since then and we haven't had that many of them around probably because the cat likes to eat them all! But last night when we were outside I noticed that there was a ton of them! So we sat with the boys on the back porch and watched them fly around!

I tried to get some pics of them. I got a few they were very hard to get because they were all flying around so fast! We stood really close to the bushes with the flowers on them and they were all flying around us buzzing our ears! It was so fun and the boys were loving every minute of it! There were probably 30 to 40 of them out there!

Jacky was standing back eating a late night piece of bread for a snack!

Trey loved getting buzzed by the birds! It's nights like this that I love! When we are all just having fun as a family enjoying these little things in life! Sadly these times must come to an end! Trey went for this.....

To this is a matter of seconds! I wanted to get a picture of me and the boys so we all sat down on the grass and poor Trey put his hand right on a bee! Stung him really good! The stinger was stuck in his wrist. It was basically the end of the world...if you know Trey! He had never been stung before which is odd since Jack has been stung 4 times this year alone! We did a minor "operation" to get it out, put some mud on it, washed it off, put on some vampire spit (hydrogen peroxide) and a little witches booger (neosporen) and he was good to go! I was sad that that was how our night had to end because Trey will remember it for the rest of his life! I just know that the next time we go to watch the hummingbirds that he will remind me of the time he got stung by a bee! He is like his dad when it comes to his memory...he remembers everything!

The hummingbirds don't end there though! This morning I was cleaning up the house! I went down to vacuum in the family room! I started it up and went to work, I looked up at the curtains and there was a Hummingbird...it was in the house!

Totally gave me the hibbies! Thankfully Richard was still home and was able to put that thing outside because I probably would have tried to make Trey do it! I love the hummingbirds just not in my house! Birds really do gross me out I don't know why! That is what we get for leaving the door open while we look at the birds though I guess! Oh well, it's something that I look forward to every year! I will now remember this as the time that a bird was in the house!

We {heart} Chelsea Handler!!!!

If you don't know who Chelsea Handler is well then you haven't lived! Me and Richard LOVE her! She had her own show on E! and it is so funny! I have been wanting to go and see her for forever! So when we heard that she would be finally coming to SLC we had to go! Luckily for us it was right around or anniversary so that is what we did to celebrate our 7 years of marriage! Grandma Princess and Grandpa Stud watched the boys so that we could have a night out on the town!! We went to The Gateway and had dinner at the Skybox! It was delicious as always. We did a little shopping! We both got some great things at Abercrombie! We then walked a few blocks to the big show!

We had amazing seats up on the first balcony. We were so close! We had a good look at all the people that were there! Especially all the "pretty boys" if you're getting my drift! We nicknamed them flamingos so that we could talk about them openly since they were all around us!

Me and my Chelsea! That was the stage right behind me, it was great!

We weren't to excited about the opening act, it had said that she was coming with a girl (Heather "Longboobs" McDonald) that is on the show and we don't really like her that much!

But we were super excited when this walked up! Guy Branum! He was so funny and was a super Flamingo! I love him on the show he is one of my favorites! He was so funny!

Finally it was Chelsea's turn and she didn't disappoint! She was hilarious we didn't stop laughing the whole time that she was out there! She is half a Jew and half a Mormon so it was really funny seeing her in SLC! She was all kinds of dirty (Just the way that we like it)!

We had such a great time and she was well worth seeing! She was even funnier than she is on her T.V show! I love her, I just can't get over it! It was a great time for me and Richard to spend together! We had a great time being out without the kids and getting to have a little adult conversation! We had a great time and I'm so glad that we got to see her! (I will write a super sappy post when it is actually our anniversary so don't worry! You will get to hear all about how much I love the hubs!)

Trey's Magic Birthday!!!

4 years ago yesterday the best little thing came into ours lives....Trey Baby! I can't believe that he is 4 years old....where has the time gone! I don't know! The night before Trey's birthday he wasn't feeling very good! He cried himself to sleep and I just hoped and prayed that he would wake up in the morning feeling like a new little man so that he could enjoy his birthday!

He woke up like this seemed all sorts of happy and ready to open his presents! Do you think that we spoiled him? I do, but that is what happens when you send Richard to do the shopping! But it's ok we do it because we love him and wish that we could give him everything in the world! He opened all his presents and loved them all! He got a Leapster and a Toy Story game to go with it, Candy land (the devil) Another little green man (toy story) fishing type game, markers, new undies, a shirt! He got spoiled! Shortly after opening presents he started to feel just awful and he looked horrible too!

This is where we ended up at the Instacare! Poor guy had a raging ear infection! I felt so sorry for him that he had to go to the Dr. on his Birthday! We got him some drugs and he was up and running again! He was so mad that the Dr. didn't tell him Happy Birthday he even had on his Birthday shirt so that everyone would know!

It took awhile to get him up and feeling better he was in no mood to take pictures so this is about as good as they got!

He was totally happy playing with his leapster though! I wish that we would have got this for him a long time ago. He was so good in the car while we drove to SLC it was heavenly! If only Jack was old enough for one then we would have had to made!

We took Trey to the Mayan for his Bday dinner! We thought he would love the jungle atmosphere and the cliff divers!

Jack was not to happy about this sitting in the snakes mouth thing!

Richard and his boys waiting to get seated!

Me and the boys!

Jack loved his bowl of beans! They looked totally gross....but whatever makes the kid happy!

This is the birthday boy apparently he didn't like any of the noises that were going on at this place! He wished that we just would have gone to McDonald's!

Finally the divers came out and Trey loved it! We had a good seat so that the boys could see everything!

The divers playing the drums!

The best part of all was the cake! He loved it we sang happy birthday and it pretty much made his day!

We love you so much Trey Baby! Our house just wouldn't be the same without you! We love waking up to your smiling face every morning and you have the funniest personality of anyone that I know! You are the best big brother anyone could ask for! Jack loves you and looks up to you so much! We love you buddy and hope that even though it was kind of a rough day that you still had a good birthday! We look forward to all the years of growing up with you! You are such a sweet kid and we are so lucky to have you in our family!
