Jackson and Trevor--good buddies!

Here is a picture with Trevor and his cousin Jackson! While I was watching Jackson the other day, they were so cute--for about 10 minutes they were just mimicking each other. Jackson clapped, Trevor clapped. Trevor stood up, Jackson stood up! Trevor and Jackson get along great (most of the time)! I just had to get the camera out!

This picture doesn't have anything to do with Jackson and Trevor, but I just wanted to post it--Trevor loves to vaccuum and he hates it when I help him. It takes a lot longer, but it is cute(most of the time, unless he is throwing a fit because I tell him it is my turn so I can get more of the carpet vaccuumed instead of just the same spot over and over). Maybe if I start him at a young age, he will always love to clean (wishful thinking!)

Disneyland--Where all your dreams come true!

Last weekend, Nick and I had the chance to go to Disneyland. We went to celebrate our 5 year anniversary--which isn't until July, but we didn't want to go in the summer--so we celebrated a little early! We went with some great friends of ours Dan and Liz. It was so much fun. The weather was perfect and the park wasn't too crowded. Nick had never been there and I had been there once when I was about six. I loved it. Thank you Jeana and Cyndi for watching Trevor! It was nice to get away and be a kid again for a few days. Here are nine things that I loved about Disneyland in no particular order.

#1. The lines! I can't get over the lines. You think you are about to get on the ride and no, the line turns the other way. They fit as many people as they can in a very tiny space, I am sure some engineer had to figure out all the different ways to fit people in. It was very impressive. Also, fast passes--I love them!

#2. Splash mountain! It was a great ride one of my favorites. As we were getting on the ride for the first time Liz saw people in ponchos and said "why do they need those, you don't get very wet?!" Well, Liz got wet that time. It was pretty funny! (This is a picture of Brer Bear one of the characters in Splash Mountain)

#3. The car we rented! It was red--I love red cars! It also was only a two door, but it worked out! We drove it to Disneyland and parked it and then three days later drove it back to the airport. We flew into Long Beach, that is a very small airport!

#4. Toy Story! They opened a ride in California Adventure about Toy Story 2. It was so much fun . It was 4D--so you wore 3D glasses and then got to shoot things. It felt like you were playing a video game. It was a neat ride. As you were waiting in line Mr. Potato head was there talking to you. It was fun because he actually interacted with some of the people in line!

#5. The Tower of Terror! As many of you know, I am not much of a thrill seeker! On rides at Lagoon in order for me to go on them, I have to shut my eyes. Well, I decided that I needed to keep them open because how many times would I make it back to Disneyland. So I did--I keep them open on all of them. The Tower of Terror was great. I thought we would go to the top and then just drop down, nope! It was awesome! (The Tower of Terror is in the background.)

#6. It Is A Small World! This is a classic ride that they have at Disneyland. I loved it! I am still singing the song! They changed the ride a little and put in a lot of the Disney characters! Oh, to be a Disney imagineer!

#7. Walking! My legs got pretty tired walking around, but I loved walking so much because then I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted. I also loved trying to walk faster then the people ahead of me, because that meant less people standing in front of you in line. Standing and waiting in lines was a different story. Here is a picture of some kid that we saw, he was tired!

#8. Tea Cups! Nick was kind enough not to spin them too much. This is one of the few rides I remembered (from pictures) going on at Disneyland the first time I went so it was fun to do it again. As we were getting off the ride you feel pretty dizzy and one of the girls getting off fell down she was really dizzy, she was okay, and it was funny!

#9. Fantasmic! There wasn't a parade or fireworks at night this time of year, but they did do a show called "Fantasmic" it was so neat. It was a laser, fireworks, water show that was so impressive! At the end all of the characters come out on a boat and waved, it was great to see them all! I loved this show!

Disneyland was great! They do a wonderful job making sure your experience their is amazing. I loved a lot of the rides, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Pirates, Indiana Jones to name just a few. But I also loved the smaller rides, Peter Pan, Snow White etc...there just isn't anything like Disneyland (okay, maybe Disney World)--it was a great couple of days! Dan and Liz thanks for being such great tour guides and for showing us the ropes, Nick and I would have been lost without you!

Brooke and Trevor

Last Monday we invited Jeana, Brooke and Rob over for dinner--nothing beats chicken nuggets and french fries. While we were making dinner, we let Brooke and Trevor play in the water. They had a great time. They got very wet, but it was fun to see them laughing and playing. They are great friends (most of the time). Trevor would fill up his cup with water and then just throw it at his face. It was so cute!

Valentine's Day...

Nick and I had a great Valentine's Day! Nick's family always has a ski trip weekend on President's Weekend. It just happened to work out that Valentine's Day was that Saturday. So we went skiing. It was so much fun, we went up to Brighton! I don't go skiing a lot, I have only been about 4 times, but I had a great time! Thank you Jeana for watching Trevor. We will take him in a couple more years. The skiing was great--we had powder and it snowed almost all day. It was great hanging out with Nick's family. Here is a picture of Nick and I in the lodge.

Here it is...

Here is a picture of Trevor on his blessing day! This was a wonderful day! All of my family was able to be here and so was Nick's. The funny story about his outfit is that it didn't actually fit. Trevor grew so fast the first few months--we even bought it a couple of days before the blessing, but I was shopping with my mom and we were deciding what size to get: the 0-3 month or 3-6 months. We thought the 0-3 would fit. We should have tried it on him. The outfit worked out for the day and he looked very handsome, but it was a little too small! Here he is just relaxing. The blanket in the picture is actually Nick's blessing blanket that his mom made for him years ago. It was neat that Trevor now has it.

Now I tag...Jeana, Jaymee, Emily M., Emily O., Brianne, and Wendy --have fun!

Where is your head?

The other night after dinner I asked Trevor a couple of questions.

The following pictures are his answers.

Here is a picture of Trevor preparing for the questions-

Trevor where is your mouth?
Trevor where are your ears?
Where is your nose?
(It looks like he is about to pick it, sometimes he does!)
Where is your head?

Great job Trevor!

Throw Up Anyone...

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and did not post it because I didn't have a picture. I still don't have a picture, but I decided to post it anyways so I can remember this story!
Trevor hasn't been feeling good the last few days so I took him to the doctor Wednesday, January 28 (that was an interesting experience) and he prescribed an antibiotic and an asthma inhaler (I left not really knowing why...). I don't think anything is seriously wrong with him, just a cold/flu bug. Well, Wednesday night at around 7:30 PM I gave him the antibiotic. Guess what he did--he threw up. No big deal, wasn't a ton. It got all over him and I, but I cleaned it up and Trevor got a bath out of it which he loved. He splashed and splashed and got water everywhere--but he loved it. It was great to see him laughing. So Thursday night I go to give him his medicine, thinking Wednesday night wouldn't repeat itself, would it? It was around the same time, 7:30 PM and guess what he did...yep, he throw up again. This time it was about twice as much. I had him positioned close to the sink in the kitchen, but only part of it got in there, most got on the floor and the cupboards and some on us. He got another bath out of it and he loved it again. Needless to say, I called the doctors office on Friday. They had such a crazy day that the doctor didn't call me back until 6 PM and I didn't talk to him he left a message. He told me that I should try the third dose and then bring Trevor in on Saturday. I was not looking forward to giving him the antibiotic Friday night, guess what--he did not throw up, it was great. We took Trevor in on Saturday. I left the doctors office feeling a lot better about the situation; and, no I don't think Trevor has asthma. Tonight Trevor is doing much better, he actually ate something besides drinking his milk which is all he has done for the last 6 days. On a positive note Trevor was the most cuddliest he has been since he was a baby--I miss those days!
