Field trip to the Fire Station

I'd never taken a tour of the fire station before and I must say it was very neat. The background in this picture is a mural painted in the fireman's classroom. They were all so excited.
The famous fireman pole. He slid down once which was veryfun for the kids to see.

Our future fireman! While the other kids each got in the fire truck once (some not at all), Trenton sat in there 4 times and had lots of special attention due to his somewhat demanding requests.

Don't be scared! It's a fireman in his mask.

What a cute group of kiddos.

Baby's growing

Is it a girl?
Here are the latest pics of the little munchkin growing inside me. We had hoped to find out the sex today but are still questioning it. Although Trenton is convinced it's a sister, we didn't get a good shot of the goods. We'll check again. Baby appears to have all the pieces and parts and I just started feelingit move. Very exciting!

Trenton's camo room

Mom and Trenton after the painting was complete.
I'm so proud of the painting job. It looks better than I anticipated.
That's his "I like it" smile.
Look at me! I'm crazy!
Brett and I spent a weekends painting both Trenton and the baby's room brown. Then I went back and with Erin's help drew on the camo and I finished painting it last weekend. It looks great and was a nice compromise since he wanted his walls painted blue. We bought him blue camo bedding too so he's all camo'd out. It was fun to paint and we are all happy with it.

New Years in McCall

This year we rented a condo in McCall for a week. We left the day after Christmas and had a wonderful time. I spent most of my days curled up the couch in front of the fireplace reading when we weren't swimming at the pool, sledding or playing. Brett had the opportunity to snowboard at Brundage in several inches of new powder and Trenton learned to swim without floaties.

Brett, Heather, Trenton and Maxx built this super cool glow in the dark marble roller coaster. It took quite a bit to get it all setup but the kids had a blast with it.

Trenton's very first time ice skating. Don't the boys look cute?
Oh sweet smiles.
Now that's a cute picture.
Trenton ice skating for the first time with Nana and Papa using the buckets. What a great idea!

Go buddy go!
Trenton all ready to go sledding!

Oh boy! I love vacations!

Christmas 2009

Our family Christmas morning. I woke up long before Trenton and managed to shower before he woke up. I guess I was a little too excited.
Trenton Christmas morning playing with his new Lincoln Log set.
What a duo!
Trenton opening a wrapped remote control dinosaur from Nana and Papa. He opened the remote first and thought it was the coolest thing ever as the dinosaur moved and growled inside the paper.
Kaity, Trenton, Maxx and Dylan. My oh my the kids just keep growing. What sweet cousins we have.
