My newest Tree is FALL themed!!!

It is safe to say that my Mother is a tree-aholic and this "disorder" was for sure passed down to my sister and I--not sure my dad, Arie, or Mark love it but that is why its a disorder lol! More on this next month...
Anyways I have seen these done in some magazines and on some blogs so I decided to do one too this year!!!! I used mostly things I had already and then I waited til all the fall stuff went 80% off at Hobby Lobby to get the rest!!!! (Which it is right now so you might wanna go NOW!!!!) Its stuffed with leaves, gourds, pumpkins, berries, sticks & more!!! I still need to go get some more but overall I am happy with it! I think it will be so nice to have Thanksgiving dinner with this tree in the background--I guess that means we will have Thanksgiving at our house one of these years lol!!! I also bought some plain green ornaments for 2.00 and then used my vinyl machine to print some "thankful" words and put them on the ornaments and tied them with some raffia--I LOVE them!!! I had 6 but my lovely son got to 1 when someone else was watching him (I wont name names DADDY!!!!) I am still making 1 more sign for it with Psalm 136:1 on it--just need bedtime to come for the boys lol!!!

Random videos

These are more for family and me cuz I think they are cute... One shows how Trey says Choo Choo in this high pitch sound. One shows Trey crying when part of the track comes undone, and of course note the Thomas PJ's that are his FAVORITE ever (thanks GiGi)!!!!!

Lunch at The Farm Kitchen

Today to celebrate Alexa's (my brother's girlfriend) birthday my mom, sister, & I went to eat lunch at The Farm!!! It was beautiful outside and so nice to just let the boys roam around--well not nice for the birds that Trey harassed the whole time but it was fun!!! So Happy Birthday Alexa!!!!!
Boston was quite the happy boy today!
My mom, sister, Alexa, & I



That would be Trey chasing the birds lol

More S'mores please!

Since it has been cooling off we could not wait to get our fire pit out, and tonight seemed like the perfect night to start!!!! So we invited The Stillman's over and hung out in the court yard eating s'mores!
This was the "safe zone" away from the fire
Don't mind the no makeup lol!!!
Miss Pres caught on fast!
Trey & Daddy making his S'More

Decorating the tree... (1 of many)

Today we went over to my mom's house to decorate the family tree. We always got a ornament every year growing up so we each have a box full! Yes mid November is a tad early but everyone is always so busy and this way we for sure get to do it!!!!
Shayla, Trey, and I

Trey liked to just lay the ornaments randomly in the tree and he really thought he did a great job lol helping

8 1/2 Month Pics

Somehow this is just how the timing worked out not 6 not 9 months, but hey at least I'm getting them done the same amount of times as Trey! It's all about equality lol!!!! Anyways I love them and of course there are a couple of Trey as well... Only the 1st couple ones are edited for now...
I LOVE this one of my sweet baby!
This is Treys signature pose lol seriously!


Feeding him puffs lol

My date with Trey

So on our date Trey and I went to have breakfast with the giraffes at the zoo!!! It was so fun!!!! They served us breakfast on these tables covered with giraffe facts and toys, and then we got to go on the zoo keeper trail to their barn (which is ENORMOUS) to go be with them up close and feed them breakfast!!!!! We had lots of fun and it was so funny since Boston was not with us Trey wanted me to hold him quite often lol which he never wants up he always wants down and to run.
In front of the 2 giraffes we spent the morning with (Zuri & Jambo)
Playing in the giraffe tent
Practicing with pully system that the zoo keepers use to feed the giraffes

It was incredible to see these so close--this gate does not do it justice!!!
Look at this tongue!
You can kind of tell but Trey has a shocked look here because te giraffe just took his treat from his hand and slurped up his arm lol

With Brody in front of the giraffe barn (where they sleep at night)
Merry go round with Brody

Not what I wanted to hear...

Boston-
So I took you to the doctor this morning because you caught another cold/cough so close to the one you just had and we did not get the greatest news. Boston you still are getting over the bronchiolitis and now have a 2ndary infection of mild croup. Plus they told me that you are showing high probable signs for asthma. When she said this I think my heart stopped beating a couple times I think! We are suppose to be extra careful with you til March when RSV/flu season is not so bad so we can try and avoid any hospital stays cuz of breathing issues from colds ect. Anyways we are doing breathing treatments every 4-6 hours for 5 days and supposedly taking this other breathing machine thing 1x a day for a month which I am not thrilled about so am looking into some other options... I do have to say you are a pretty happy sick guy (except at night lol) and luckily you take the treatments good MOST of the time.
Taking your treatments...
Who is that cute & happy when they are sick?
