I was outside digging up our fence in the front yard and this is how I saw Ethan after I removed the pole. (Yes I took down the fence all by myself. O.k I had the help of the neighbor guy to pull out 3 of the 5 poles. But I did the rest. Matt has been crazy busy and I wanted the fence gone so I did it myself. He did help a little he took down part of one fence and took out 3 poles but I did the rest.) He loved playing in the hole and would scream if Trey even got near it. He played in that hole for about a half hour.

Outside playing

One day I was outside working on the fence (pictures to come later) and the boys were outside playing with the hose. They were having so much fun and the next thing I knew Ethan was inside the bucket filled with water. The kid loves water.

Preschool

Last Tuesday was Trey's first day of preschool. I am just doing it with some ladies from the neighborhood and we each take a turn. I would love not to have to teach but can't afford to put him in a real preschool. So I guess I will take my turn. I will only have to do it every 6 weeks so it can't be to bad. Trey likes it and it is good for him to have to learn from somebody other then mom. It is structured so that helps. On his first day he cried because for singing time they each got to pick a song and his song he wanted to sing was the "Transformers" song. His teacher that day said that he could because nobody else knew it so he got upset. She talked him into singing "head, shoulder, knees and toes". He now knows not to choose that song and will choose a song that every one knows.

Self Reliant

Monday Ethan and I were both sick. So around 10:30 am we laid down for a nap. I knew Trey could entertain himself for a little while so we could rest. When I woke up I found that Trey had made him a sandwich all by himself. He made him a cheese sandwich with no cheese. so basically it was 2 pieces of bread with miracle whip on it. Gross I know but we were out of cheese or I am sure he would have tried to cut him some cheese himself. He also got himself a sippy cup of water and he was good to go. I am thankful that he is self reliant but it is a little scary to see how fast he is growing up and not needing me as much. It is nice but a little sad.

Happy Birthday Trey

Yesterday was my little boys birthday and we celebrated all weekend long. Saturday we had a cousin swim/birthday party. We then came home and opened presents for Lizzy and Trey. Sunday we went for a drive and had a picnic in the back of the truck up by snow bird lodge. Then Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Phil, Uncle Ron, Aunt Marcelle and LeStar came up and had a BBQ with us. Trey got money, clothes, toys and a scooter. Matt made a transformer cake that Trey wanted. Trey told Matt that he wanted Blackout with army guys shooting it and it blackout blowing up. I had to tell Trey that it was a birthday cake so we couldn't have blackout blow up that it was suppose to be a happy cake. I'm not quite sure we got a "happy" cake but he did get his army guys and blackout on it.

I'm a soccer mom

Trey had his first night of soccer. Trey and his friend Bryant are in a soccer clinic that teaches them the basics of soccer.They go every Thursday for 45 min a night for 6 weeks. It was so funny to watch. My social boy would not stop talking. He had to be right by the coach and even tried to hold his hand. He did good with the actual kicking of the part we just need to work on when to listen and when to talk part. My camera ran out of batteries so I will take more pictures during these next few weeks. During part of it they tried to score and had the kids each take a turn being a bear (goalie). Trey did really good at that part also.

Going for a walk

Yesterday Trey woke up and came into my room with a "kid lease" and wants me to take him for a walk. I told him after we got ready we would, but we kind of forgot so last night I put the lease on Trey and Ethan wanted to take him for a walk so they walked around the house and then went for a little walk to the neighbors house outside. They would have gone longer but Trey went a little to fast and Ethan fell.
