Turning 3

Treyson had a great birthday. He had pickles and chocolate for breakfast, played, had a nap and went to Cherry Hill. We didn't think that we would be able to go to Cherry Hill. Right before Matt got home a storm came thru with lighting and thunder. Trey sat by the window with the saddest look on his face. My heart broke thinking that we wouldn't be able to go. We had talked about it forever. But by the time we were ready to go it had blown over.The weather ended up being perfect and it wasn't crowded at all. Grandpa and Grandma Bates, Randy and Brittnee came and us. even Ethan went down a water slide. Sunday we had a BBQ with Matts family. Matt decorated the cake and did a great job. He had made all of Treys cakes. Last years was great too. But we don't have any pictures because our computer crashed.;( Trey loved his cake if you couldn't tell. I can't believe he is 3

Trey

Where do I begin. I had just one of those mother moments. Matt was at work and we were outside. I like to go outside at night when it is not so hot, the boys love it. Trey wants to be outside playing with friends and that way they can come over and play and keep an eye on them since we don't know them very well yet. Well his friend from across the street asked to come over to play with Trey and our dog so of course I let him (it helps Trey not miss Matt so much). Then his friend asked if Trey could go over to his house to play-that's when I had my moment. Trey has never really go over to play at a friends just for fun all by himself. He has played with cousins and his friend Cameron other then when he was babysat. This was the first time I has to let go and be a kid without mom watching over him. Watching him cross the street with his friend I realized its only going to get worse. I went inside and watched from the window keeping an eye on him but giving him his freedom of not having mom tell him to play nice. I missed him not being around. My house was so quite. When it was time to come home he cried. I can't believe he is turning in to a big boy he's not my baby any more. He is becoming so independent. I have to step back and let him grow.
SOME OF THE FUNNY THINGS HE SAYS.
I should really write this down, I don't remember all the thing but I am sure my list will grow
When he doesn't listen he get things taken away. We tell him he lost his chance. His reply help me find my chance I want my chance help me find it.
Mommy I want you I need you.
We are in bed sleeping and he comes in "Mommy I'm crying I need a girl." What girl "you mommy I need you". We ask why are you crying because I need my mommy-why do you-need your mommy because I'm crying. This goes on and on.
I was taking to Matt and Trey yells "I'm talking to mommy"
Mommy repeated over and over and over again finally mommy talk to me!
When Matt takes out his contacts Trey has to do it also. Tonight he comes running in to me "I can See"
We were talking to Trey about Abby(our dog) we were saying the Abby was a good girl and he said "Abby a boy dog"We tried to tell him that she was a girl his reply"Santa Clause changed him to a boy dog"
Toys are now classified as boy toys and girl toys. He can't play with girl toys. Same with movies. He can't watch girl movies. I tried to get him to watch Cinderella but that was out of the question. I did however get him to watch to watch Beauty and the Beast thats because it has a big monster(beast)

All the kids

Aug 15th

Well I feel like a single mom. Matt got a part-time job working at wonderful K-Mart. He did this so I could stay home and be a mom. I feel so bad for him. He doesn't have a single minute to relax. He works full time at Hogle Zoo, part-time at K-Mart, donates plasma and is going to school. plus helping me figure out this vinyl so we can have another job. (hopefully it will take off) All this so I can be a stay at home mom. What a wonderful husband. Oh then when he has a free minute he is either doing things around our new house or spending time with out boys. Hopefully when he is done with school next November things will be better and he will only have to work one job.
So last week he was trying to put a fan up in the office and drilled his hand and now it is infected:( so he can't donate plasma. So I guess the positive side is I will see him a little more for the next two weeks.
Trey is turning 3 on friday. I can't believe it. He keeps telling me that he wants two parties a turtle (ninjia turtle)party and a pirate party but he wants a transformer cake(the cake changes daily). So we are going to Cherry Hill on his birthday to go swimming and then on Sunday have a bbq with family. We were going to have a party but we don't know anyone here to well and his best friend moved to Omaha so we will see what we can come up with.

Family Weekend

We had a fun weekend. It was a weekend full of family and fun. Friday Matt's cousin had all the young cousins together for a day in the water. She had a waterslide, swimming pool, and water balloons. The kids had a great time and didn't want to go home. The kids even found a frog in the backyard. Then Sunday my brother blessed their little girl. That was a first time in over a year that my family was together. My parents came to see our new house and brought 2 off the cousins to have a sleepover. Trey thought that was the best. He has been a little lonely since we moved up here and his best friend moved to Omaha. On Monday some of us went to the Zoo. 5 hours is a long time at the Zoo but we had fun.
