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.

Random Pictures...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I haven't posted in a long time so I decided to post a few random pictures, so here goes...

In August my Dad graduated from BYU! Way to go Dad! Now he is working towards his Masters degree.

Here is a pic from Labor Day weekend. We went to Bear Lake with Nick's family and this is a hike we went on.

We went up to Idaho for Thanksgiving and this is how much snow we had when we got home.

Our ward Halloween Party. Jake was a dragon, Trev a knight, Nick a king, and I was a Queen.


My birthday. I celebrated my birthday in December. It was a great day.

Jake, Trev, and I went to the Festival of Trees this year. It was amazing! The trees were beautiful.

Preschool...

Here is Trevor this morning! It was his first day of preschool!

He was so excited to go to Ms. Jennifer's!

Here's his backpack! He picked it out all by himself...he loves it!! (and because he loves it, I love it!)

Quick Update...

I hope to post more soon, but here is a couple of pictures.

In June, Trevor turned 3! Happy Birthday Trevor!

For the 4th of July we went to Grandma Cyndi's house. We had a hotdog roast and sleep in her backyard. Trevor did great sleeping in the tent! It was so much fun. (Jacob and I slept inside)
We did some fireworks!

Jacob and Trevor! Jacob just turned 6 months old! We love our two boys!

4 months old...

I am not the best blogger right now, but if you go to www.jeanabirdphotography-blog.com you can see 4 month old pictures of Jacob! Jeana (my sister) did a wonderful job. Thanks Jeana!
