My Boy and His Toys

So.....the other day I got a comment on my blog about Wesley's "few" toys. So, for fun, I thought I would take a couple pictures of most of his toys and see if you all thought he had enough. (I'm sure he probably doesn't think so.) Its a good thing that Bret finished the basement so we would have somewhere to store them all.This is the corner of the basement that is dedicated to Wesley's toys. I now realize that I didn't take any pictures of Trinity's toys....Oh yes, these are ALL Wesley's. Petie Pie has her own.

This is a close up so you can better see our fine collection.

This is Wes on his step picking out a couple of bedtime stories. Notice the bucket overflowing w/ toys in the background. Now, I know that I really should probably get rid of some of his toys....I mean he is not lacking by any means. I don't know why I have a hard time parting w/ toys....I tell myself to go thru them and then I think "Well, Trinity will probably play w/ them when she gets older" and then I just can't do it. I'm the same way w/ clothes. I still have clothes that I haven't worn since high school. Go figure. I didn't think I was that bad of a pack rat....but I guess I am. Crap.

Trinity's First Pigtails!

So I finally decided it was time to try and do Trinity's hair in pigtails again. I tried this a few months ago and she looked so weird. This first picture was my first attempt. Her hair didn't come all the way through the elastic and so I just left them like that.....I thought it was kinda cute. Bret, however, calls them her "Shrek ears". I haven't fixed her hair like that again since.Baby T's "Shrek ears"
Actual "pig tails" look a LOT cuter!
Cute little bean!

And finally just a cute shot of my two babes together.

Petie, Petie Punkin Pie!

Ok, so your probably wondering why we call Trinity "Petie". This is because of Wesley. He likes to call her "Sweetie Pie" but it comes out "Petie Pie". He gets very upset if we try to call her anything other than Sweetie Pie. I think its freakin' cute and have grown accustomed to calling her Petie. Bret, however, doesn't really mind it but hates that I call her Petie all the time. ( I think its because he really likes her real name and doesn't want her to answer to Petie, but to Trinity.) Oh well.....So here are some pictures of Petie in a new dress that Grandma and Papa Wellwell (yes, that is spelled correctly...Wellwell) brought home from Vegas. They're a little fuzzy but blame Bret he took them.

Getting big way to fast!

She's cutting her first tooth, so pardon our drool.

And finally Trinity rolling around in her dress! Isn't she cute!

Dinosaur Park

We went with my friends to the Dinosaur Park for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Wes was so excited to go see Baylee & Carter. Once he realized we were going to go see dinosaurs I thought he was going to fall over getting there. We had a lot of fun and Wesley really enjoyed it but was scared of the animatronic dinosaurs. Trinity was not all that impressed but I think she liked being able to sit up and look around in her stroller. Needless to say we had a great day........we are going to go back. We have too.....Wesley will not stop talking about it and tells everyone he sees that will listen to him about it. He wants his daddy to take him.

Wes would not go near the non-moving dinosaurs either.

This is as close as he would get for a picture.

Digging for fossils.

Trinity just checking things out in her stroller. Love the hat!

Trinity, Carter, and Baylee posing in front of a dinosaur. Wesley was not feeling particularly photogenic at the moment.

Making Cookies

We decided that we needed cookies and the only kind of chips that we had were peanut butter....so that's what we made. I still think they were pretty good. Wes and Daddy had a good time making them together.

Yummy chocolate peanut butter cookies!

Let's go fly a kite!

Friday night Wes told me he needed a kite. So we went & he picked out a frog one & on Saturday the whole family went out to the Ogden Parkway next to Timbermine to fly it. We had a lot of fun but it was very windy and very cold. Wes had fun flying his kite (I have to admit I am impressed that he did not let go and lose it.) There were also quite a few seagulls and we got to feed them breadsticks from lunch.....then it got way too cold and we went home. This is Wes flying his kite all by himself.

And finally a picture of Trinity being cute in her stroller.

Her poor little cheeks and hands were froze when we left!

Squish Squash!

Trinity just started on her solid foods this week. First we started with squash and it took her a few bites to get the hang of it. She would take a spoonful and do this little shudder and swallow. Since then we've also tried sweet potatoes and peas. Here are a few shots of the aftermath of our meal.....

Daddy fed her for the first time on Saturday....this was the result. Notice (if you will) that when I feed her it stays around her mouth and when he feeds her it ends up in her eye!
