Thanksgiving...

This year was awesome!!! Started bright and early for us! We headed up to the OC to spend some time with Ryans family. Its always a great time with them. Great conversation, great fun and so relaxing! After that we went up to my grandparents house for some great food and lots of fun. Grandma put on an awesome dinner! After dinner we played a family tournament of corn hole. Ryan and I lost because I am horrible at those kinds of things, well all sports actually, but we had so much fun! Things can get pretty competitive over there. All in all it was a great day!! I am kinda sad beacuse we didnt get many pictures but we did get a few cute ones... Playing video games with uncle MattI love this one of Trent trying to jump out of Ryans arms

My little gardner

This little boy loves to be outside and he loves to be doing whatever Daddy is doing. Its the cutest thing watching the two of them mow the lawn together. Whenever Trent sees a lawn mower he instantly makes a brrrrrrr sound. So cute! Here is Daddy's little helper in action...

Ive been bad

I have been so bad at keeping up with my blog! My computer was full and couldn't upload anymore pictures so I just avoided it altogether but thanks to my wonderful hubby and Christmas, I am now the proud owner of my very own computer! Thank you babe! Now I can upload as many pictures as my little heart desires!
I know I it's like months ago but, I'm gonna start with Halloween, hey it's my blog and I can do whatever I want!

Picking out our Christmas tree

WOW! a whole year old!...

I cant believe a whole year has came and gone. It has definately been the quickest year of my life, the happiest year of my life, and the proudest year of my life. It's amazing to look back at all Trent has accomplished in just one short year. He is the absolute biggest blessing in both mine and Ryans lives. Everyday he brings so much joy to our lives. We couldnt be more proud to call him our son! Happy birthday to my sweet, fiesty, funny, and adorable baby boy!!!!! We love you more than you will ever know...
Here are a few of Trents latest accomplishments:

• Talks, and talks, and talks in his own language and its hilarious
• When you ask him "Trent wheres your belly?" He lifts up his shirt
• Sleeps in his own crib and ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! a whole 11 hours : )
• Is a nightmare to take anywhere, does not like to sit in carts or his stroller, I have to get a sitter just to go to the grocery store
• If he happens to sneak into the bathroom, he unravels the toilet paper across the room
• loves, loves, LOVES to be outside
• When he sees the vacuum or lawn mower he makes a bbbrrrrrrrr sound so cute
• Eats like a champ finally!
• Not crazy about his binky anymore, spits it out most of the time
• Has got a great golf swing : )
• Helps dad give the dogs their treats in the morning
• Loves story time and books, when he wants me to read him a book he will bring it to me, hold it up and says uh, uh, uh.
• Getting pretty good at turning the pages
• Points to where he wants you to take him
• ALL Boy, its amazing how he just knows how to be a boy!

Today we took him to Disneyland which we were so excited for but it turned out to be a complete disaster! Thats a whole other story coming soon, along with lots of pictures!!!

Pebbles and Bam bam

Ever since Taisia and I found out she was having a girl and I was having a boy we've wanted to dress up as the Flintstones. Ryan and I would be Betty and Barney, Trent would be Bam Bam, and Taisia and Jeremy would be Fred and Wilma, and Teegan would be Pebbles. This year, Halloween fell on a Saturday so Ryan had to work. We were gonna wait until next year until we realized we would have too many, since Taisia and Jeremy will be expecting their second bundle in May! Anyway these two made to cutest Pebbles and Bam Bam ever! And my ever so talented sister whipped up these darling little costumes in no time!
