Big News!

Christmas card 2009. What a way to spread the big news!

Baby Nicholson December 14, 2009. Baby looks good and is growing rapidly. What a blessing!

It's official! Trenton is going to be a big brother and he is soooo excited. We let him tell all our family about the BIG surprise. He said, "We have a surprise. There's a baby in my mommy's tummy". No one was sure whether they should believe a three year old but we did confirm he was telling the truth. Ever since the big news, at least once a day he asks if my tummy is bigger yet. He makes me laugh.
We had this conversation a few mornings ago.
Trenton: "When the baby comes someone will get to be a big brother."
Me: "You're right do you know who the big brother will be?"
Trenton: "No, who?"
Me: "You get to be the big brother!"
Trenton: "I do?! That is so exciting!"

He's been asking for a brother or sister for a year now and it is finally going to happen. Now the struggle will be for him to wait all the way until July.

Halloween 2009

Trenton's been saying for months that he wanted to be a red eye tree frog. Thankfully the costume existed so I didn't have to attemot to make one which would have been a disaster. He loved wearing the costume and had a great time trick or treating. The worst part was having to take away all the candy with peanuts which turned out to be quite a bit!

Our friends, Mr. Skeleton Man, Cinderella and of course the red eyed tree frog.

The princess and her frog.

Tori looking amazing in her costume.

Who said I can't be a tree frog too?

The end of the summer fun!

Trenton and others playing in the water at Settlers Park.

Debra liked it too!

Cheese!

My boy sometimes thinks he too is a dog. Pretending is his favorite game.

My cutie pies!

What's your name?

Me: What is your full name.
My boy: Trenton NicholAlanson
Me: Repeat after me...Trenton Alan Nicholson
My boy: Trenton NicholAlanson

I think he get's it but now it's a joke and a pretty clever one at that!
