thrusdays at mia’s

When we drove up the the exit ramp at the end of our recent trip I asked John if we could turn right instead of left, because turning right meant going to Trey and Brenton’s house!  I missed my little guys and could hardly wait to see them.  I could hardly believe the change I saw in Mr. B. in just two and a half weeks time.  No longer a baby, he looks older, has a larger vocabulary, and has filled out!  I managed to snap a couple of shots when he was over for his Thursday visit today, so you could see how much he’s grown. Don’t you love the watch?  He rescued it from the bottom of the toy drawer at my house last month and wears it almost everyday.

Brenton…who’s hair grows faster than any weed I’ve ever seen….got a new haircut.  He looks even older than he did the first time.  It’s funny how small things like that seem to change things.  He even seems to act older. The stickers on his outfit are compliments of PaPa who dug them out of his top desk drawer.  Brenton loved them, so after he left I peeled them off  the other places he stuck them to recycle them for next time :)

thursday’s at mia’s

When PaPa drove in from work, the boys were as excited as usual to see him.  After visiting a while he took their mommy’s car, with them in it, and disappeared.  They were going to the grocery store to get dessert for our dinner…..cupcakes!  I wondered what was taking them so long, when I found out they were taking a side trip to the dollar store.  It reminded me of the times my parents would come to visit and pick the girls up and take them to McCrory’s….one of the last of the old fashioned dime stores….where they would each pick out something to buy.

They came home with these fun water pumps and squirt guns.  Brenton kept squirting his using his thumb instead of his trigger finger.  He squirted it sideways…it was too funny.  But Trey knew just what to do with all the toys.  It just so happened that their Mommy brought swimsuits, so after dinner we hooked the sprinkler up, filled a 5 gallon bucket  with water…………and had a water extravaganza in the front yard.  Trey kept losing his drawers…..as you can see in the pictures.  But they enjoyed it so much.  And it was lots of fun watching them!

fun days

I’ve been at Jenna’s everyday this week helping her organize her new home….it’s been so much fun watching everything fall into place.  I tell you, the light in her home is gorgeous…it just doesn’t get much better!  I could shoot there all day :)  Today we worked in her bedroom.  The pics start with Karis and her mom coming over to pick up some moving boxes, then Brenton receiving his pool toy birthday gifts from Uncle Joel and Aunt Kate, and Trey being PaPa’s helper.

dq delight

Today I went by Trey and Brenton’s house and picked them and their mommy up.

First, we went by my church to drop some sheets and blankets by

for the people in Haiti.

Then, we drove by Goodwill where their mommy left some things.

And then we went to DQ for

ICE CREAM!

bookish

When Trey and Brenton came over today I noticed that Brenton was enjoying books a little more.

Until now, he’s been pretty disinterested apart from wanting to steal Mom’s attention away from Trey as she reads to him.

and a musical greeting card, at that.

It looks like a book…

and he doesn’t know the difference.

Can You Say….

smile :)

Trey and Brenton came for their Thursday visit with their mommy yesterday!  Such fun times……Brenton was all smiles.

Trey is really talking up a storm.  I love the casual conversation we have.  And I also loved that he recited three Bible verses he has learned, two of which correspond with the letters “A” and “B” as he learns his ABC’s.   The animal crackers is an idea I got from my mom who always has them at her house.  They were a big hit…

a little too big…..maybe.

and, last….can you tell that Trey gets excited when Pha Pa comes home from work?

While talking to my sister today, she mentioned seeing this little one on my blog recently…..I remembered I hadn’t posted this pic.  BTW when her mom takes her to the church nursery, Brenton lights up and crawls over to her…can you blame him…look at those eyes ;)  I’ve been messing around in Photoshop making cute frame templates for storyboards and coffee table books.  I’m going to have this printed as  a 10×10 storyboard mounted .  It will look great with a pink ribbon attached at the top….can’t you just see it hanging in her room?
