Family Picture Time!!!

We had family pictures taken last weekend. It was such a fun time. We went up to the mountains, played in the dirt, and roasted marshmallows! Jeana my sister took them! See does such a great job, and I love the pictures she took! Head over to her website to check them out http://www.jeanabirdphotography-blog.com/ . I am also sporting a new hairdo; I cut off about 14 inches a month ago!

Funny Story...

Jacob is a picky eater when it comes to eating new foods, that is, unless we are at Costco. Jacob will eat anything and everything that they give as samples. It is so funny! We went to Costco today and he ate a piece of watermelon...do you know how many times I have tried to get him to at least lick watermelon. I guess what I have learned is that I need to serve Jacob food in little sample cups and have him in a shopping cart...that way he will eat anything!!!

Time for an Update...

So much has happened in the last three months...so here is a quick update in no particular order...
The tree I am standing next to, is a tree I have had since I was a freshman in college (it was so small when I bought it), a few months ago I decided it was time to sell it. This is a picture I took right before I sold it. I loved the tree, but with two kids, it was time to let it go to another home... And yep, I sold it on KSL.

He had a birthday! We celebrated Trev's birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was a superhero themed party. He LOVES super hero's right now. Trevor is an amazing little boy with such a sweet heart! He loves milk! He loves to help me cook in the kitchen. He loves playing with his cousin Brooke, and he loves to color. He is also still very tall for his age.

For his birthday he got a Boot Scoot...it is a bike that doesn't have pedals. They say once they figure out how to balance with it, they don't need training wheels to ride a bike, they just know how. We will have to see if that is the case for Trev.
Here is Jacob at Trevor's party. He is growing up so fast!
At the end of May we took a family trip up to Idaho to visit my family. My brother was coming home from his mission. We had a great time with family and it was so fun to see Josh! On the way home from the trip we stopped at Shoshone Falls...the flow of the water was incredible!

Here is a picture of Elder Wadsworth (Josh) with my mom and dad. Half of the family was late in getting to the airport to pick him up. I decided to sign Trev up for swim lessons this month. The first day of swim lessons he didn't want to get in and stayed on the edge of the pool most of class, but by the end of the week he was blowing bubbles, putting his head in the water. He did great and loved it by Thursday! His favorite activity was to go and find dive sticks in the water. Trevor is the second boy from the left.

Last day of swim lessons picture...he was freezing!!

Trevor had a preschool graduation at the end of May. It was so fun to go see him sing all the songs they learned throughout the year and to see him be with all of his buddies! Miss Jennifer is an amazing teacher.

Last but not least, a picture of Jake riding his bike. It is so fun to go outside and play with Trevor and Jake...they would play outside all day long if I let them.

Updates...oh my!

Here are a few updates...in no particular order...

Trevor loves playing on the computer, and one night after I finished cooking dinner I came upstairs to check on him, and this is what I found....he had a hard day!

Just this last weekend...2-26-11 Nick took the boys outside to play in the snow (and I tagged along). Trevor and Jacob both had a great time.

Just starting out!


Nick was kind enough to pull us on the slide!


Oh, Jacob! Jacob loves to get into everything! With Trevor I didn't have to worry because I could follow him around but with two it is a little harder. Jacob loves to open the cupboards and pull all the stuff out (you think to solve this problem I would childproof...maybe one day). Doesn't he look like he knows he isn't suppose to do this...

Here is a sample of all the things Trevor has been doing at preschool! (I decided to take a picture of all the work instead of keep it...is that bad? What do you do? I just can't save everything can I?) He is learning his shapes right now. If you look there are circles, squares, and triangles. Trevor loves to go to school!

They had a Valentine's party at preschool and all his friends brought Valentine's to exchange...it was so cute! I was able to go and help out with the party, it was a lot of fun to see Trevor at school with all his preschool buddies, singing and playing games, and Miss Jennifer is amazing!

At the end of January there was a model train show at Thanksgiving Point. We took the two boys down and Grandma Cyndi and Papa Brad met up with us. It was a lot of fun and the Lego train was amazing!!!

One day I decided to let the boys finger paint...Trevor loved it, Jacob not so much (but you couldn't tell from this picture).

Last, but not least, the boys both got new car seats...Trevor got a booster and Jacob got Trevor's old forward facing car seat. It is so nice to have Jacob forward facing (sorry, I couldn't wait until he was two...)

Party Time...

We celebrated Jacob's birthday yesterday. Here are a lot of pictures (for my family who couldn't make it) of the party.

The birthday sign

The food--we did soup

The cupcakes

Jacob's one year canvas my sister designed and created. I LOVE it! I actually just got one done for Trevor at the same time - it only took me 2 1/2 years to finish. But Jacob's was done before he was even one.

After we ate we had an indoor snowball fight. Jacob's theme for his birthday was "it is 'snow' fun that Jacob is turning one!" so I thought it would be fitting to play in the snow. The kids had a blast! (as well as the adults)

Cupcake time...getting the cupcake...

Happy Birthday Jacob!

Happy Birthday Jacob!

He went from this...

...to this!

Jacob celebrated his first birthday on 1.15.11. This last year went by so fast! We love having Jacob in our family! He is such a good natured, happy kid and always has a smile (even if he doesn't sleep through the night).

Here are some facts about Jacob:

* He started walking a little over 11 months

* He loves to say "go" "uh-oh" "down" and "up"

* He loves to take baths

* His favorite foods are cheese and Ritz crackers

* And he loves following his brother around and taking his toys.
