Family pictures

Yesterday we had family pictures, these are just a few that mom was able to get with her camera. When we get the cd back mom will post more on the family blog.

Haircut

Look who got a haircut!

Treyvens hair was so VERY long! Dad took the boys to a new children's salon to get their hair cut. He looks so grown up!

Halloween, Disneyland and preschool updates

We spent today at Disneyland celebrating  brothers second birthday. We had such a great fun filled day.

Treyven loves to watch Mickey Mouse on TV but when we saw him in person he wanted nothing to do with him.

I love his face in this picture. I think he was annoyed that I kept asking him to look at me for pictures.

In the car on the way to Anaheim

Treyven was a ninja turtle for Halloween. His costume is a pair of pajamas :)

Having fun at staheli farms

Treyven loves to help cook eggs!

Treyven has had to evaluations at the county preschool. If accepted he will be able to go to preschool for free and he will get help with his speech. He is getting better since dad has been at home working with him but preschool would help even more. Our insurance denied any further speech therapy appointments. Treyven is a handful. He loves to destroy things. But he is also so loving and sweet. He's my little buddy. Lately he has taken to yelling "shut up", a bad word that he learned from mom.

Catching up

My little buddy Treyven! He turns the big three tomorrow. I can't believe it has been that long. Treyven is my rainbow baby and he has my heart. I love him so much and he has really changed my heart. He is the sweetest thing, I can tell that he has a very large Spirit inside his little body. My heart swells and I get tears in my eyes when I think about Treyven. I just know in my heart and have known since before he was born that he has a very special mission and purpose for his life and that Heavenly Father has assigned him some pretty amazing things to do in his life. My heart always is on edge because I wonder what that will bring and pray that heartache is not included. I haven't felt this way about my other children, for some reason I just know that there is something big awaiting him. I will need to remember these feelings so when times are tuff that I can look at the big picture to help get thru the little things. Treyven is not potty trained and has no interest in becoming potty trained. He is behind on his speech. But he is so sweet. He is my little buddy and I live coming home from work and getting my hugs and kisses. He likes to pick out his own clothes and still likes to we at his cowboy boots. Lately he has taken a big interest in Toy Story and especially Buzz Lightyear. He has a Lego buzz, woody and jessy and he picks up the buzz and says buzz Lightyear to the rescue, so cute! He throws little tantrums if he doesn't get his way right away. He likes chicken nuggets, bananas, yogurt, cheese, plain bread, fruit snacks, cookies, water and pasta. But his tastes are always changing. 

Mom bought him a water gun from Walmart.

Hiking in Snow Canyon

We just libe our Treyven.

Treyven using the camera

Moms phone is locked so that the only thing that the boys can do on the phone is take pictures. Most of the time there is 50 or so pictures of black but once in a while you get an actual color picture.

Thumb sucking

It's so funny I have become the mom I said I would never be, I pinned a sock to his shirt so he couldn't suck his thumb. He was so devastated that he couldn't suck his thumb. And after one day it hasn't happened again.

Sunday

We don't have church till 1 on Sundays so some mornings we find interesting ways to entertain ourselves and pass time. Treyven found one of our old blind wands and was using it as a sword. He was told he couldn't hit anyone with it so he just chased his brother around. He kept saying "stay back", it was so cute. Then tonight he was rough housing with mom and brother and he asked "did I hurt you"? He's a funny little guy!

Sayings

Treyven has been talking so much more each day and he is talking in complete sentences. The other day he was signing "let it go, let it go". He says: stop bothering me, are you ok, I love you and lots of other things that I need to write down when he says them. He loves to wear his shoes or boots too. He will put on his shoes and boots without socks And walk around. He tries to wear them to bed. He is such a big boy and most of the time so very good.

Green

We think Treyven's favorite color is green. Lately we have started letting Treyven pick what he wears and when picking a shirt he always seems to pick a green one. This morning there was only one green shirt hanging in the closet and it was Treyvens new St. Patrick day shirt. He picked that one and then Dad said "no not that one" so Treyven went and got one of his dirty green shirts that he wanted to wear. So Treyven wore his St. Patricks day shirt today :) It just interesting to see the kids individual personalities come out. We also think that Treyven will be right handed. He does the majority of things with his right hand. That makes mom sad she wanted one left handed kid and so far that doesn't seem to be the case. Treyven used to say "you're welcome" so very clear no he says "you're wel mm mmmm" its funny. We have no idea why all of the sudden he changed the way he says it. He's such a smart little boy!

Potty training

We are working hard to potty train Treyven. We need him to be potty trained before David starts his job at the post office. He went potty twice in the toilet today. He is such a big boy. He is using more sentences. I am looking into pre schools for Treyven to start later this year. I need to check into sports as well. I can't wait for him to be potty trained so I no longer have to buy diapers for two boys. 

Long weekend in salt lake.

We are in Salt Lake this weekend just hanging out. Today we went to the discovery children's museum at the gateway. It was a perfect place for Treyven. He could just run all over the place and do whatever he wanted. Treyven loves to play! We all had a great time.

Learning to cook.

Today after church when mom was in her room having a time out and dad was outside talking to Christy, Treyven decided he was hungry and because no one was around to help him he would fix himself something to eat. Mom heard the smoke detector go off and assumed that dad was cooking something. The smoke detector is kinda sensitive. After it continually going off mom decided to go tell at dad for not taking care of it. This is want she found in the kitchen. One of the dining room tables was pulled up to the counter with baby David standing on the chair, the kitchen was full of smoke, the microwave was going and Treyven was sitting by the sink while it was running full blast. Mom turned of the water opened the microwave took both boys from their perches and set them on the floor then she turned to see what Treyven was cooking. Somehow he had lodged three pieces if his egg salad sandwich from lunch beneath the spinning piece and they were burnt black as night. Mom opened windows, turned on some fans and cleaned up the microwave. Smart little bugger was hungry and he realized that his parents were otherwise occupied so he was taking dinner for him and his brother into his own hands! I gotta keep a better eye on that boy!

Counting

Today I heard Treyven count to six all by himself! 

Morning

This morning Treyven got up early and came into our room and climbed into to bed by mom. He snuggled up and made sure that her arms were around him. Then he just snuggled for a while. That was so nice for mom because Treyven is one busy guy. When he was done snuggling he got up and headed out of our room. Mom said I love you Treyven when he was in the doorway and Treyven turned around and said "I love you, bye". Melts moms heart. He headed to the kitchen after that. He opened the fridge and took out the sour cream. When he was rummaging in his cupboard for a bowl and a spoon mom put the sour cream away and locked the fridge, mad Treyven. He loves sour cream. Then a little later he came back into our room and when mom didn't get out of bed like he wanted he went and shut our door and walked out. As he was closing the door mom said "I love you" to which Treyven responded with a pound of his fist on the door and "no, don't say I love you".

Dentist

This week you went to the dentist for the second time, and still no cavities :) Which is amazing because mom doesn't always remember to brush your teeth.

Treyven's Adventures

 Playing in the rain!

 Sleepy Time. Treyven is so ornery when he wakes up. You have to just give him time and let him come out on his own.

 Treyven found a crown and had to wear it for a few minutes!

 Well he tried!

 Treyven loves to play with rocks. I am always finding rocks in the house. One day we went over to Grandma and Papa's house they weren't home but their front yard is full of rocks. Treyven had picked a up a little pile and placed them on the porch. We thought it would be fun to leave Grandma and Papa a little message. It stayed like this for over a week.

 Treyven does not do well in Sacrament meeting. We spend lots of time in the foyer and outside.

 Treyven was a cowboy for Halloween this year.

 Halloween Fun

 We had pizza for dinner one night and Treyven picked off all the olives :)

 It snowed lots and lots last week. We had so much fun playing in the snow. We built a snowman. Treyven wanted to play outside again on Sunday but he wouldn't let mom put any pants on. Don't worry he was only outside for a very short time. Then mom brought him kicking and screaming into the house.

Treyven reading to mom and brother.

Treyven is a big boy. he loves to get into everything. He will pull chairs or stools over to whatever he needs up on and climb up for whatever he wants. David is usually right there at the bottom of the chair waiting hopefully for some bit of food to fall down to eat. Treyven likes to brush his teeth, mom thinks its mostly because he likes to eat the toothpaste. The other day he was with mom when Christy got her braces off. When she got out of the chair to rinse her mouth Treyven climbed right up into the seat leaned back and opened his mouth :0 Cutest thing ever. He likes to throw little tantrums. And he likes to dump drinks all over the floor. He loves to be outside and he LOVES making messes. He's a handful but he is so good to his brother. It melts moms heart to see them play together.

Just talking

This morning you came into moms room and tapped me on the shoulder and said "ok, wake up", you did that a few times and then you went and got the DVD of Shrek and handed it to me and again said "ok, wake up".

Catchin Up

Mom gets so busy and she does not take time to blog so here's whats going on with Treyven. He will be two in July. WOW, time goes by so fast. Treyven LOVES his little brother. On April 26th we moved Treyven to the big bedroom in the back and now he sleeps on the bottom bunk instead of the crib. Now both boys sleep in their room and mom and dad love it. Treyven likes to say prayers, he likes to brush his teeth. Dad lets him pick out what shirt he is going to wear for the day. Treyven loves to be outside. He cries when he has to come in. He has figured out how to drive the little battery powered jeep we have. He does not like Sacrament meeting. He is usually out in the hall with one parent, if he has to sit in the overflow he screams. Mom and dad are so frustrated and are not sure the best way to teach him the importance of Sacrament meeting. At least he goes to nursery so mom and dad can listen in their other meetings. Most of the time people are good about not saying anything or giving us dirty looks. Occasionally people aren't so kind, listen peeps we sit in the very back for a reason, if you want to hear and feel the Spirit maybe you should sit in the Chapel! Treyven has figured out that if he opens the stove or the dishwasher that he can climb up on the doors and reach things on the counters. We now have to check the oven before turning it on in case there is a toy or who knows what else inside. And sometimes it takes twice as long to run the dishwasher cause he likes to open the door. He still calls all fruit apples and all drinks juice. Treyven likes to get into things that he knows he shouldn't. He is a trial at times but we love him so very much. He makes life interesting.

Catch up blogging

 This has happend more than once. Treyven likes to color and not always on paper.

 He thought it was his turn to drive.

 We went to an Easter egg hunt at Vernon Worthen park. THey had different areas separated by age group. Mom went in with Treyven and pointed out candy. She was not allowed to pick up any for him. At first Treyven gor mad because after he picked up his first piece of candy he wanted to eat it and he didn't understand why mom said no. He came away with some dots, tootsie rolls and a few plastic eggs that had hard candy in them.

 After the Easter egg hunt in town we went to the cabin in Pine Valley and had lunch and an Easter egg hunt with the Bushars. Treyven go a ton of candy and money. He had caught onto the concept at this point and was so excited to go find all the eggs.

 Treyven loves his little brother.

 Dad and Treyven reading with Treyven's special three D glasses on.

 Look at that pose. What a stud in his new pj's.

Feet!!! 

Mom say cheese! He was taking a picture of mom with dads camera.

Treyven loves to wrestle with his little brother. We have to watch close though and keep it clean.

Rule #1 No sitting on your brothers head!

Mom got these boys matching shirts at Gymboree and of course had to take a picture of them being all matchy matchy.

Day old bread from Jimmy Johns is the best!

Treyven ate practically the whole loaf himself :)

Just playing around.

 What a crazy boy.

 Treyven wanted to steal the show!!

 Mom he's heavy, take him please. Treyven loves to hold little brother but he lets you know as soon as he is done.

 Look at the little stud in his overalls. Mom just has to take lots of pictures of her boys cause they are so darn cute.

 Are you hiding in the corner so you can suck your thumb?

 This drawer is not for toys it's for little boys!

 Ready for a walk.

 Treyven no longer sleeps in the crib. He gets to sleep in his new big boy room in a big boy bed!

 And potty training attempt number two. Mom really wants him potty trained before he's two. Two more months to go.

 Treyven could care less about food. If there is sauce that's what he's all about. Give the boy a spoon!

 The book shelf in the closet is the perfect hiding place.

 Watching Despicable Me for probably the fourth time this day. His new favorite movies are cars and Despicable me. He will watch them over and over again.

Mom and dad are trying to eat a little healthier by starting the morning off with a shake. Guess who else loves the shakes. Treyven! Which is great, remember the food pictures above. Treyven loves to eat crap so when he gobbled down this spinach avocado smoothie and wanted more what kind of mom would I be if I said no.
