I'M 21 MONTHS OLD!!


WEIGHT:  23.8 LBS
FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Loves anything to do with tooting.  In the bath he makes it a point to fart and hear the bubbles and then will laugh and laugh!  He likes peeing in the potty like his bro.  We haven't even attempted potty training but he will pee in the potty right before his bath.  Loves choosing which diaper to wear.  Since his diapers have different patterns on them, I hold two up and he chooses.  He also has started snapping??  Don't know how he learned that but every once in awhile he will point, snap, and say some incoherent word.
FAVORITE WORDS:  Ok...we are starting to talk a little more.  Now he can say 'up' and 'out'.  Says 'blue, boo, and ra (for RyRy)'
FAVORITE BOOK:  Trev is also getting better at paying attention to stories.  At bedtime we read "On the night you were born" and "It's time to sleep my love" and he really enjoys those.  And several occasions I have found him and Ryden both sitting quietly looking at pictures in books.
DISLIKES:  Every so often we walk to the donut store in the morning for a treat.  Well now he knows where it is and every time we drive by it, or walk by it....he has to point and grunt!  And then will get a little upset if we don't stop for a donut
MAMA FAVORITE:  Today when I was at the park with the boys, I actually sat back and watched both of them play with each other on the playground for a good 20 minutes!  We pretty much had the park to ourselves and they were having the best time going up and down the slide, chasing each other, and laughing so much!  Cheesy...but I will remember that moment forever...melted my heart.
DAD FAVORITE:  Jason really likes how adventurous Trev is.  I can tell he wants him to hurry up and get a little bigger so he can take him on the fun adventures that 'just the dudes' go on...like kayaking, skateboarding, etc...

Auntie Mel's Day

Auntie got married to her Prince Charming last weekend.  The wedding was amazing and the bride was so beautiful!  It took place in Temecula at the cutest venue ever!  It was all outdoors with lots of green for the boys to run wild and a cute little vintage house to make the setting perfect.  The weather was gorgeous and everyone had an amazing time.  Well done Auntie!  Warning:  I really failed at my picture taking this time.  I was busy being the Maid of Honor and J was busy chasing the boys around.  But here are a few...
The girls
I never get to wear my hair up so I took the chance to have someone do it for me.  I LOVED it so I had to take a thousand pics to remember it
On to the wedding....Can you believe this is one of the only pics I got of the bride and groom??  Nice one Nick!
Hugs for Grandma...
The guests...
The best family pic we could manage
Trev giving his "I know I'm doing stuff I shouldn't" look
Hayden was super sweet to watch the boys for awhile so Mama could partake in some champagne before her speech!
So nervous!  But at least I went before Jason and his RAP!  He won over the crowd!  Didn't get a picture of it but did get a video which is currently on YouTube...
Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dance
Ryden and his friend
Then it was time to dance!  Ry was showing off his sweet moves
Trev was all danced out

Cake time!
No cake for me...just champagne...in a wine glass

One of Mel's bridesmaids couldn't make it so I was lucky enough to walk down with two men...Both from Brazil...the one on the left helped me with my Portuguese..
...and us
Sorry for the lack of newlywed pics!!

New York pics just for Cody Byrne...

About two years ago, Ryden and I trucked all around NYC with Aunt Cody.  This trip I was inclined to find some of the memories from that outing and recreate them.  (Sorry...a lot of inside jokes)
MEXICAN ELMO!!!
(although not sure he was mexican at all...and Woody wanted in on it too..)
I really tried hard to recreate the snow cone pic...this was the best I could do
Mercedes Benz outfit
Pink Panther saxophone player under the bridge!  I must've made Katie go under 50 bridges until I found the right one!
Shake Shack!!!
Throwing money into the fountain (different fountain...same excitement)
Countless hours walking around while Ry sucked on his fingers and held Brobee
And finally....up and down the escalator.  This time it was at Toys R Us instead of FAO...
MORE TO COME

Long lazy weekend

Our Memorial Day weekend was very chill.  Nothing too eventful.  Hung with a few friends one day...Trev came down with a fever again the next day...and then the last day, we hung out at this cool lagoon area right by our house.  
Ryden loved this place!  It was like a mini beach without the waves.  It had a playground, splash areas, and even some small water slides (that of course Ry was too short to go on).  He was in and out of the water all day...splashing...playing soccer...

Trevin, on the other hand, was having a rough weekend.  Super cranky, whined pretty much the whole time we were there.  I finally coached him into the water and what does he do?  Runs full on into the water and immediately goes under water.  That royally pissed him off so he spent the rest of the time eating snacks or making sand castles.  Didn't want anything else to do with the water which is so unlike Trev!  Not feeling good...poor boy

After we were all good and sunburnt...we hit the road.  Kids took awesome naps and we discovered a new fun place for the summer! (Emily if you are reading this...we should go here when you visit!  The kids will love it)
