What a Thursday/Friday!

The Trevor Thursday tradition continues and this week he chose to go to the new movie Home at the theater where they bring you food.  Done!  Mommy can't remember the last movie she saw so that was a lot of fun for everyone!  And the movie was just so darn cute!  The little character Oh says 'My Mommy' instead of just 'Mommy' as in 'Can we go to the store My Mommy?' ... guess who else does that right now?  Ashley!!  Precious, just precious!

On Friday the kids were in a great mood before Ashley's Moving and Grooving class.  They were running around the house and then posing.  Ashley has the cutest little look that she got from her brother.  You can kinda see it here!

That afternoon Trevor had his final baseball practice.  He would miss the last game the next day but he wanted to go to practice and the coaches were happy to see him!  They had some fun up their sleeves too....water balloons at the end of practice!  They could only be thrown at the coaches and the kids thought that was a riot!

Coach Justin was probably Trevor's favorite coach so he wanted a year end pic with him.  Trevor told Justin after this picture that he really should wear Vikings socks instead of Broncos!  That's our boy!  He loved getting his first trophy too!

After practice we hustled home to change and go to bull riding!  We hadn't been there since Trevor's big tumble that ended in stitches.  Ashley was excited!  Boots and all!

When we got there we saw there was a horse bellying up to the bar!  Funny!

After enjoying the wonderful BBQ the kids were anxious to see the bull riding!

Trevor couldn't get enough where as the sound hurt Miss Diva's ears.  So Mommy and Ashley watched from afar while Trevor and Daddy soaked it up!

Trevor asked on the way out if we could stop at Dairy Queen for a treat.  Don't have to ask us twice!  He had his heart set on the red, white and blue star that he had once a really long time ago (how does he remember that?).  Luckily they had them but pretty sure he didn't anticipate his little sister liking it too!

Poor Trevor now had to get a bite from his sister.  Fortunately, he is a great sharer and was okay with it.  

Baseball, Top Golf & Grandma Pauline's Birthday

Sounding like a broken record we had another busy but fun weekend.  Our Fridays have been starting out at Ashley's Moving and Grooving class over at a nearby community.  Her friends Sammie and Gracie are in the class.  We usually play at the park for a bit before heading home and this day was no different except for the fact that Sammie and Gracie were BFFs just sitting and chatting away on the ledge.  

Sammie just turned 2 so they are about 6 months apart.  Ashley is huge and Sammie is petite so they are quite the cute sight to see!

That afternoon Trevor had his baseball practice at our clubhouse's park, which was SO nice and convenient.  The next day Trevor had his final baseball game because next week he has a conflicting event.  But what a game to end on!  He was the pitcher...

Ready position!

What a good stop!

He also played first (he was more concerned about hitting by the runner than catching the ball that gets thrown to first with every hit) and left field where he stopped 3 balls which he threw to first.  He was so proud!  Grandma Pauline and Papa John were there to see it!  

Saturday night we headed out to Top Golf with our friends Nick and Kaelyn.  What a fun time that was!  Good food, drinks and golf!  Everyone was happy!

And then the funniest thing happened!  It was Kaelyn's turn and the club went flying while the ball stayed put.  Pretty sure we all busted out laughing for a good 5 minutes, no joke.  It was so hilarious!!  

Then on Sunday night we got to hang out with Grandma Pauline and Papa John to celebrate Grandma's birthday!!!  We got a baby sitter and headed to the casino where Papa made a reservation at Orange Sky on the top floor known for it's amazing food and view!  

The weather was a bit iffy but the sunset over camelback mountain did not disappoint!  Neither did the food.  YUM!

We had a wonderful time spending time the four of us (seems like a first!) and hit the casino floor slots for a bit after dinner.  Grandma Pauline wasn't so lucky but Brian won a little on the Stampede slot.  Looks like the birthday luck rubbed off on the wrong person.  Better luck in Vegas!  

Thursday Fun Day!

Trevor Thursday's continue and this one was pretty special with a lot of fun activities!  It started with Mommy volunteering in Trevor's classroom.  And even better, it was fire truck day!  The kids learned all about fire safety.

They also got to check out the fire truck!

After school Trevor picked sushi lunch and then we hit up a new spot near us for Trevor to do a craft project.  He chose to make a Lego 'T' .... he concentrated for hours making it just right.  He is so excited to hang it in his room!

After that we picked up his sister from school and headed over to Petsmart for their annual family night!  Trevor remembered from last year all of the rides and games and hoped that they had them again.  Fortunately, they did have some!  Like the swings!

 Weeeeeeeeeee!

 He smiles so big and bright while riding the swings over and over and over!  Ashley had no interest in going anywhere near the rides.

 But Trevor went on spinning ride after spinning ride with a smile on his face the entire time!

 And then finally we found a ride diva would go on!  The choo choo train!

Brother will never be too big for the choo choo either!

 But boy were his smiles even bigger for the big boy rides.  Like the pirate ship!

Daddy tried it once too but Trevor was perfectly fine going on it over and over by himself.

While Mommy was watching Trevor go on who knows what ride again, Daddy and daughter snuck off to ride the choo choo again!

 Trevor closed the place down but not before waiting to jump high!

Ashley much prefers to eat and eat and eat.  He likes the rides, she likes the food go figure!

 

This year's theme was Trip Around the World or something like that.  For Antartica they had this blow up snow globe.  Trevor thought it was a hoot!

Petsmart is going through a lot of changes now that it was purchased and privately held but it was fun to have this event still go on!  And that's how we do Trevor Thursdays :-)

Toby Keiths and Science Center with the Harrels

We got word that Toby Keith's was having a soft opening on Friday night so off we went!  Food and service wasn't so good but the band, dancing and people watching was great!

On Saturday morning we didn't have baseball so we headed to the Science Center with our friends that Harrels.  Toby never really minded going into his kennel before but now he just loves hanging out in there so us leaving for sure is no big deal.  Thanks Daddy for his new bed in his kennel!

 Not sure who liked the Science Center better...the big boys or the little boys!!  The Dads made the water feature not release any water and Rylan was so proud!

 Forts were made!

 We found an area of the Science Center we never had been in before!  An airplane!  The kids loved it!

 At one point Sara couldn't find Brian but found him playing with one of the exhibits.  Truly a big kid at heart!

 As with the past few times Ashley was perfectly content walking/running back and forth on the balance beads.

 As well as racing with Daddy!

 Big girl kept up with the boys just fine!

 Silly!

 Ooohhh...computers!  Wonder if Ashley does computer work at school because she kinda new what to do.  Scary!

 The boys playing again...  LOL

 Last stop...Forces of Nature experience!

 Tornado!

 Uh oh, what's next??

 Hurricane!

It was so cute to see Rylan and Trevor play and have fun.  And learn of course!  Baby Kiera was such a good baby, just hanging out in her stroller chilling!  Will definitely need to go back!
