Winter or Spring?

We had a beautiful Spring-like day we had last Sunday. It was so nice out that even Mommy was ready to get out and enjoy the day. Luckily she had a willing partner with Trevor! He pulled out his motorcycle and away he went down the front sidewalk.


Away he did...just a little too fast. He went boomers!


That didn't keep him down long. Before you know it he was back up and zooming down the street.


He even says 'weeeeeeeee' the whole time!


Such a proud little biker:


Of course Trevor found a puddle and instead of going around it, he had to go right through it. Such a boy!


We enjoyed some time at the playground before heading home.

Trevor was having a grand ole time until a girl started eyeing up his motorcycle. She got quite the look - Trevor didn't say anything he just didn't take his eyes off of her until she moved away!

Mini Murph

Our sister-in-law Annie told us about these mini-pizza kits from Papa Murphy's so we tried it out for our 'Mini Murph' on Friday when we had our good friends over for pizza night. It's nice because they live just down the street so they bundle their almost 1 year old in the stroller and walk on down! During that time Trevor made his pizza!

He scooped out the pizza sauce and put it on his pizza:


He carefully put on the cheese:


He sampled the cheese:


Then finished putting on that layer of cheese before adding the pepperonis and the rest of the cheese:


Too bad we didn't get an after picture because boy it did look good. Mac and Trevor gave it 2 thumbs up! Mommy too :)

Happy Valentine's Day

What a wonderful start to the Valentine's week when Sara received a surprise gift of roses to work on Monday!! They were just beautiful and smelled so good! The best part though was the nice card that accompanied the flowers. What a wonderful husband she has :)


On Valentine's Day Trevor's school put on a special program during lunch and Daddy was able to go and watch our good boy sing and do actions. The video is priceless...we'll have to get that uploaded soon! No surprise that he's right by Miss Tina. They are best buds :)


Trevor was so excited to see Dada there. When they were 'released' Trevor knew right where to go!


After the program they enjoyed some Valentine goodies then the parents left. Trevor was a bit teary eyed but Miss Marcy reminded him (and the other kids) that they talked about the fact that parents were coming for the program but the parents would have to leave before nap so they should 'put their tears away' (love that! we use it at home too now) Miss Jillian said that after nap Trevor walked around proudly telling everyone that his Dada came to see him sing. Made Mommy sad that she missed it but glad that Dada could go!

Haircut #12!

Like we said in our last post, we decided it was finally time for Trevor to get a 'hairscut' :) We asked him if he wanted one and he said 'yes! then I get a sucker!' - not even joking one bit. This kid remembers everything!!! We went to a new Kids Hair and really liked the girl who did his hair. She was meticulous and understood his crazy hair!


Trevor was great during his cut - well, he is a master of them so we guess he should be! He was in a daze of sorts during the haircut. He just kept watching TV....he lit up a little bit when she was styling his new 'do'!


And the final look. He knew he looked good and he inspired the look for another boy in the salon. His parents saw Trevor and then told the stylist they wanted the same look for their kiddo!


And what's up with the Vikings shirt? Big boy picked it out all by himself. We had mentioned we were going to a Superbowl party and somehow he knew that was a football party?? In any case, Mommy told him the section of his closet to choose from (the 2T section) and he just kept flipping through clothes until he found his 'Vikings shirt' (as he proudly calls it) in the 3T section.

After his haircut we got 'Uncle Ronalds' and brought it home. Trevor has been sitting at the dining room table without issue but today he spilled his milk everywhere and Mommy said something to the effect of 'that's it, you sit in your high chair.' As she was cleaning up the mess Trevor went to get his step stool all by himself. He must have known Mommy was serious. Except she was serious about getting his high chair out. And when she did, he sat in it without complaint!


After his nap we had a lot of fun playing cars on the floor with our handsome boy!




Zoom!


Trevor is fascinated with tunnels so he really enjoyed it when Dada made a tunnel for the car to go through!


It's really too bad that he isn't very happy ;)

Zoo Day!

On Saturday morning we decided last minute to go out for breakfast and then go to the zoo. We had the most delicious breakfast at Jensen's Cafe in Burnsville. Their french toast was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. We'll need to go back, that's for sure.

Our first stop at the zoo was the penguins. Not sure what's up with the hood other than Trevor HAD to have it up!


A crawl through the tunnel:


Some fun with the fishies:


And then while watching the monkeys he must have gotten hot because off came the hood! And it was this picture that made us realize, yes, he needs a 'hairscut' :)


Such a Trevor look here...he's an observer like his Mommy!


And when the monkey was walking across the high rope, Trevor got a kick out of it!


Walking through the bamboo reeds lead to lots of laughs!


Gotta love a fast camera, almost too fast sometimes! Our little poser was waiting for the dolphin show. It was the one thing he wanted to see at the zoo - what a good memory he has!


We filled the wait time with some tickles from Dada. You can almost hear his little laugh in this picture!


Back to being an observer checking out the dolphin's tricks!


We got a lot of close-ups of Semo:


After the dolphin show we took Trevor on his first ride on the monorail. It was much too cold for us to walk outside!


See even the bison don't walk when it is so cold out!


Although cold, the frost from the night before sure made it kind of pretty....kind of being the key words.....


Have you seen frost up close? We hadn't before - we didn't realize how prickly it looked!
