Trevor's first birthday cake

Happy 1st Birthday Trevor!!!

We can't believe our baby just turned one. It seems like yesterday we were just finding out that he was going to be a boy. Now, he is such big boy. He took his first few steps on his actual birthday (May 16th), but he still mainly just stands, claps, then falls back down on his bottom. His first word was mama (not dada!!) . He is so sweet and cuddly, he just makes my heart melt. I remember being scared to break up the threesome of mommy, daddy and Caleb, but Trevor is the best addition to our family! We love him so much!! Trevor's cake had a recent picture of him taken by Ms. Sarah (our babysitter's oldest daughter). She always takes the cutest pictures of him while at Ms. Debby's so we don't miss a thing! He had such a great birthday with all of his friends and family. On his actual birthday we had a little party at Ms. Debby's with all the kids. We took balloons, cupcakes and pizza to celebrate. Then, on Sunday we had his birthday party with everyone. Trevor sat in the bounce house for just a minute before he started crying. He likes it when you jump with him, but he's not so sure about it if he is by himself.
Caleb accidentally burned his finger that day on the pressure washer's motor. He was in pain all day! Grandma is using her powers to console him.Grandpa took some time to feed Trevor his bottle before the cake fest! Aren't they sweet!Trevor gets a chance to play with some of his new toys. Everyone spoiled him so much! He sure is lucky to have such wonderful family and friends!


Happy birthday Trevor. He is waiting in anticipation for the cake to get close enough to eat!

He just dove right in. He had a mini cupcake on his birthday, so he knew what was coming. It was so fun to watch him as he ate his cake. Our boy was in heaven.


Mmmmm... cake!

So cute... and happy.

Priceless. He hated this hat, but I had to get at least one picture with it.
Trevor was so tired. He would just nuzzle into Michael's side, and then raise back up as fast as he could to smile and try not to fall asleep.
Our birthday boy, big brother Caleb, mommy, and daddy.

It was such a great day. We feel so blessed to have each moment with Caleb and Trevor. We can't imagine life without them.

Our family vacation

The first weekend in May we packed up the family and drove to Galveston. Our friends Brad and Kristen invited us to go along with them to their rented beach house. It was Brad's last get away before going on his second tour to Iraq. It was Trevor's very first family vacation! We had an amazing time. Caleb has been asking to go to the beach every day since we came home. We took a lot of amazing pictures.....
This is our little family
Brad, Kristen, and Kennedy. We had such a fabulous time with their family!
My boys! Right after this Caleb and Daddy tried digging up crabs on the beach. We ended up just having to buy some instead.


Little Trevor and Kennedy playing ball on the deck of the beach house. They just love playing with each other.
Trevor and Mommy
Trevor was trying out his new tooth by chewing on my chin! He stopped for just a second to smile for the camera.

Caleb would run out to the water and as the waves came crashing in he would run as fast as he could so they wouldn't get him. He had such a blast. We can't wait to take him again.

We had just had a refreshing swim in the ocean.


Trevor would just stare at the water. He was mesmerized.
Trevor loved getting to splash in the water. He would still cling to Daddy just to make sure he was still safe.
Mommy and Caleb were riding the waves. So much fun!
Running on the beach

Trevor and Caleb were just sitting on the beach staring at the water. Trevor didn't know what to think about the sand. Caleb just loved everything about it! We are already planning our next vacation to the beach!

Loving the outdoors

Caleb and Trevor are true boys in that they love everything that relates to the outdoors! They are both adventurous and love to have fun. Caleb is playing on his slide in our back yard. "Look Mommy and Daddy, I found a bug!" He loves rolie polies because they are nice, but not ants "because they bite us."
Caleb is so sweet. He loves to pick flowers off of our rose bush and give them to mommy and daddy.


Trevor loves to go to the playground and play on the slides already. He is playing peak-a-boo in the tunnel below.



What a big boy! I still can't believe he is turning one this week. It make me sad and happy all at the same time. Caleb will be 4 just in just six more weeks. Where did the time go?




Trevor loves his little swing at the playground. He could sit in it for hours. Michael and I love both of our boys more than we could have ever imagined.
