Papa-The Rockstar

My dad and his band played a show over the weekend. We always love hearing them play, so we were really glad they were able to fit this in before Dad leaves again. They played such great music and the kids danced their little legs off! :)

Here are some fun pictures from our night:

Total Rockstar, huh?

Enjoying some snacks with their cute Stewart cousins

Isaac asked if he could take some pictures, so I let him take my camera around with him. This is what I saw when I loaded them onto my computer...I guess this is what the night looked like from the perspective of a 4 year-old. :)

Papa and his fan club :)

Little Graduates

Well, we just finished another great year of preschool.
This year was really fun because I got to teach my cute Isaac,
one of my favorite nephews, and a bunch of other very adorable kids.

On the last day of school,
we did a little performance for the parents/grandparents.
They sang some of their favorite songs
and showed off the sign language they've learned.
They did such a good job. :)

Here is my cute class...ready to perform:

Isaac was so excited that he got to stand by his best girl, Regan. :)

After the performance, we had an ice cream sundae party.
These kids are all such good buddies.

Grammy and Papa (my parents) came to celebrate with us,
which made it even more special!

(Another great moment to carry us through
the next 2 years without them.) :(

Now...bring on the SUMMER!

Celebration-Part 2

We had one more celebration for Trevor...I just can't help myself. :) We had some of Trevor's best friends (Jameson, Alex, Sara, and CheriAn) join us for cupcakes and ice cream on his actual birthday.

Trevor and his cousins.

Blowing out the candles

Such cute little boys. :)

Here are the "brown cupcakes" that Trev requested.
Anytime we asked him what he wanted for his birthday,
he would say, "Just a brown cupcake."
He's pretty easy to please. :)

Here's the happy (and messy) birthday boy!

He got lots of fun presents!

So...that's it!
It was a perfect weekend for our little guy.

Happy 3rd Birthday, sweet boy.
We love you very much!

Celebrating Our Boy-Part 1

We had a great time celebrating Trevor's 3rd birthday. We started on Saturday night with his special birthday dinner. We were so happy to have Grammy and Papa with us this year. I let Trevor plan the menu, which consisted of hot dogs, Cheetos, and pasta salad. Fancy, huh? :) After dinner, we let him open presents and then we went out for frozen yogurt. It was a wonderful night...for our wonderful little boy!

The Birthday Feast
(At least I didn't have to cook!)

SO happy! :)

Present time...

I took Isaac to the store to pick out a present for Trev.
He knew exactly what he wanted to get his little brother
and we searched the whole store until we found it.
Trevor was thrilled! Score one for Isaac! :)

Trevor LOVES his Grammy and Papa!
These birthday hugs are especially important this year.

The boys first trip to a "build-your-own" frozen yogurt place.
They loved being able to top their ice cream
with WHATEVER they wanted...including sour gummy worms!

Three Glorious Years!

Three years ago today, this adorable ray of sunshine joined our family. Our little Trevor has brought so much excitement, laughter, and joy to our life. (And anyone that's met him knows that he's also given us LOTS of great stories!) :)

I love you, Trevy.
You are a very special little person.

(Lots of celebration pictures to come...I'm just too tired from all the fun!)

The Re-cap

We had a fun Easter this year.
Well...actually...the boys had a fun Easter.

(I had my wisdom teeth out just 3 days before and ended up with horrible dry socket for the whole weekend. I pretty much missed everything because I was either in too much pain or too drugged up to know what was happening. Thankfully I have a great husband and great family to make it fun for my boys. Derek even managed to get some pictures for me.) :)

Here are the boys, filling eggs for the Jameson family party:

Coloring the Easter eggs:
(Pardon the lack of clothes...I can't stand to let them ruin their shirts!)

The Jameson family party:

Easter morning:

The boys are at such fun ages right now...
they get so excited about everything!
(I especially love the pictures of them coming down the stairs together.
They were just squealing with delight!) :)

Easter Means...

Our Family Home Evening lesson this week was on Easter. The boys are very excited for all the festivities (a.k.a. candy), but I wanted to remind them what Easter is really about. We talked about the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. Isaac was very interested in all the details. Then I gave the boys "Easter eggs" and told them to draw what Easter means to them. I was amazed at what Isaac did.

Here's what his paper looked like:

Cute, right?
Then I asked him to tell me what he drew...

And here's what he told me:

He could retell the story perfectly....he knew every detail.
I love to see his sweet faith growing.
I love being his mom.
