It has been so hot already this year that we have done lots of outdoor water activities. Trey showed Jackson how it was going to be in this photo.

Jackson loved playing with the little fountains at our friend's pool. He never gets real excited about anything though. Usually it is just a little smirk of a smile.

Latest Treyisms:

He asked me what telephone poles and wires were on the side of the road. I answered about how it carries sounds over the phone (even though it's not even true since all we have are cell phones.) He replied, "That's very tricky, Mama!"

I asked him to pick up his toys. He shouted, "You're ruining my life!" Later, I asked again and he said, "Gees, Louise! I'm doing it already!" Uh-oh, attitude on a 3 year old.

He saw a box by someone's trash and asked if it was for him (meaning a present.) I said no- it's just trash. He said "Oh- bumper!" (bummer)

Last weekend, I went to Fort Worth for my friend, Tara's bridal shower. We had a great time and can't wait for the wedding in August. (photo is Donna, Tara, me, and Mona)













I was trying to get a photo of the two boys, but one of them always is reluctant or has a funny face. They're still cute though!

Some friends were watching the boys for a few hours and she caught this great moment of Jackson chomping on a plastic hot dog. I love the face!!!! You think he likes to eat?

The Trial Run

Hello to all of my loved ones!
I am going to give this a whirl and see if I can at all keep up with blogging. It is a beautiful, windy day here and we are headed to Guido's house this afternoon for a get-together/ birthday celebration for Sal.

Trey celebrated his third birthday this week (Yikes- time flies!) by going bowling for the first time ever with his friends, Ohen (age 5) and Olivia (age 2). He got a 67 and 97- not bad for his first time out! He had lots of fun. Thanks to all of you who remembered him with phone calls, cards, and presents!
Trey also went to the dentist for the first time and was wonderful. The hygenist said she'd never seen a 3 year old cooperate so well on his first visit. It's nice to have such an amicable boy.

Jackson is just a funny little monkey. He loves food above all else (shock of all shocks looking at the rolls on the kid) and gets upset if someone is eating and he is not. Erik walked past him the other day purposely shaking up a bottle and Jackson ripped his pacifier out of his mouth and threw it across the room in anger! Erik and I cracked up and so Jackson roared with laughter too.
