My Sunbeam

I can't believe it Trey is now a sunbeam. I can't believe how big he is. I remember when I found out I was pregnant with him. He was a little nervous but did really good. He warmed right up, but if you know Trey he will talk to anyone so it didn't take long. The poor teacher probably was tired of him at the end of class because he can talk your ear off mostly about his birthday party. (which isn't until Aug). He has his birthday all planned out. He has been talking about it since his last birthday.

A boy and his dog

Ethan loves his dog. Every time he can hear her coming he says Abba (Abby). During this winter Abby gets the pleasure of sleeping in side. Ethan loves going and laying on her bed. When Matt feeds her at night Ethan is right there wanting some of her food. He has even sampled it a couple of times. When Abby is not in the house Ethan is watching her from the sliding glass door. I can't wait for spring when we can go outside and they can run around and chase each other.

3 armed snowman

How sad, this was Treyson's first snowman ever. We have spent a lot of time outside but just never had time or enough snow to build a worth while snowman. So this year Matt build one with Trey. Matt did most of the work of coarse, but Trey had fun in the snow. The snowman had 3 arms, and the eyes and nose made out of wood chips. The snowman didn't stay cute for long and big snow storm came that night and covered it. Sorry again don't know how to get the picture to rotate

Christmas and New Years

Time sure flies. I can't believe its been just under a month since I blogged. Life is busy. I thought that it would slow down after Christmas but of coarse not. Christmas time was fun. Every year my Grandma puts together a huge Christmas village so we went and saw that. Then Matt's aunt and uncle have an in with Santa Clause and he came to visit their house early. Notice the picture of Ethan sleeping, thats the only way we could get him to sit on Santa's lap. Christmas Eve our plans got ruined with the snow so last minute we went to Kinikini's for some yummy Chinese and pizza and a movie. Christmas day we woke up about 8:30 opened presents. The theme of Treys Christmas was army guys and transformers. Ethan's theme was noisy toys. We don't try to have a theme but this year it just happened. The boys love their toys. Grandma and Grandpa Bates came to see what they got. Then we headed to Salt Lake to go open presents at G&G Bates house. Visited with Great Grandma Bates and Jay and then head over to Teran's for the big Marchant party. New Years was a blast. HA HA Matt had to work until about 8:30 then we went to McDonald's for dinner and watched Mary Poppins. Trey even stayed up until after midnight. We went to bed and about 3 in the morning Trey came in to our room and threw up all over me and our bed. Then Ethan wakes up with a fever. While I was taking care of Ethan, Matt was cleaning up Trey and the mess. He gets Trey in bed and he threw up again. Finally we were able to get some sleep around 4:30-5:00. Ethan ended up with a double ear infection and now has hives from the antibiotic. I was hoping for a better year but thinks aren't looking so up. Lets just hope that it is all over with now.

Happy 1st birthday

Ethan's first birthday was on Wednesday. I can't believe my baby is one. Time sure flies. Last Sunday we had Matt's family over for cake and ice cream. Ethan actually did pretty good with his cake. It took a while for him to get messy. He was to busy watching every one else. On his birthday we went to Salt Lake to run errands and then went to Zoo lights with Grammy Bates. The zoo was a lot of fun. They have these glasses if you look through them at the light they make snowmen appear. They had a lot of fun animal lights. We weren't able to see many animals but the cougars and the Amur leopard were really active. Ethan loved the lights and actually stayed in the stroller for most of the time. After that we went to Chili's for dinner.

The big 3-O

Yesterday was Matt's birthday and he turned the big 30. We had such a fun day. He was able to take the day off from both jobs, so we were able to spend the whole day as a family. I think birthdays should be a special day. They shouldn't be like every other day. So we woke up and dinked around the house, ate breakfast and then went to the mall. We saw Santa Clause and looked for the boys shirts for their pictures. (yea I know not to exciting)After that we went up to Hill Air Force base and went to the museum. Trey is really into army guys.(all armed forces are army guys to Trey, I know that its a big deal to call the air force people army guys but to a 3 year old. it doesn't matter). We had fun looking at all the planes .Trey had to have his picture taken by every one. He was a little disappointed that he didn't get to see an army guy but living up here we see them all the time. After that we went home and had Cafe Rio. Matt did some homework and then went and looked at Christmas lights. The boys didn't enjoy that so much but I did. After driving around for only about 15 min we went and got ice cream. Matt can't hardly go a day without ice cream. All in all it was a great day being able to spend it together.
