Trey Turns 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, Trey turned 2 last week! He is the most blessed little boy! He had four birthday parties and enjoyed each one with lots of fun and cake! It just amazes me how time truly does fly. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 1st birthday! Our Little Nugs is growing up and growing fast.

GRANDMA MIMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trey has the best times with his Grandma Mimi! They play and play. They go to the park, hang out by the creek, throw rocks into the river, go for walks, sing songs about Jesus, and do all things little boys and their Grandmas do together!

7 MONTHS & COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 2 more months to go!

The third tri tiredness has taken a little toll on me and little heartburn at night, but overall I feel GREAT! As you can see the only things growing on me are in the mid-region. . . . :) Which Rob says a big baby needs lots of milk! :)

Rob & I are still working with Trey trying to prepare him for the new baby. That is definitely a work in progress and will be well until baby is here. Though we both are just so excited to see Trey have a little sib to play with :)

Purses!

At least he's got GREAT taste! We love Coach in Kansas!

MY AUNTIES & my Cousin CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Aunties & Cousin Case drove down from Minnesota to come visit me! BOY O' BOY ARE THEY FUN TO PLAY WITH!

We went to the pumpkin races at Shawnee Mission Park.

Listened to live bands!

We also went to the Kansas City Pumpkin Patch!

MY BOOMPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Boompa Dave came all the way from California to visit me in Kansas! And we had a blast!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!! RIBBIT!

It's a Frog's life!

A WONDERFUL FALL DAY!

We love the Fall in KC! The colors are wonderful, the weather is perfect and we just love to be outdoors!

MMMMM. . . . LUNCH!

Everyday I get bigger & bigger!

Trey's in Training!!!!!!!!!!!

Trey makes his daily phone calls to all of his family, clients & friends - in that order. He also makes time for his buddy, Pedro, who if you were wondering from his leg injury is doing great. Trey has an impressive work ethic just like his Daddy - making calls all hours of the night - making sure he gets in touch with everyone! He doesn't want long call lists like Daddy - so he tries to keep on top of it. :)

GREAT Grandma Rife!

Trey spends many days over at his Great Grandma Rife's house. She plays cars & trucks with him, they take walks outside, they watch the birds and the squirrels together, and all day long - she gives him; her undivided attention - which he can't get enough of. Trey has certainly been blessed to have his Great Grandma Rife in his daily life.

PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO from Preggers City! I have had tons of requests for this picture. So I finally came to terms with the size of my belly and realize that this is a great time in my life. I have not only shared it with all of you, but with all who view the web! And this is one belly to be proud of! I am in my 18th week and feeling A LOT different than my first pregnancy with Trey. I am definitely bigger at 18 weeks than I was before, sleeping is harder for me this time around and my appetite is a lot different. Could this be a sign that it's a girl . . . .? :)

Trey's Got A New Friend

We got Trey a newborn doll to help prepare him for his new baby sister/brother coming in January. So far, he's only thrown her on the ground once.

He really likes to feed her, brush her teeth and carry her around by one arm. So . . . we have a couple of things to work on before his new brother/sister arrives.

Who Doesn't Love the County Fair?!?!?!?!

The Johonson County fair in Kansas was a hit. We had hot dogs, curly fries, grilled corn on the cob with lots of salt and butter! MMMM. . . . . We're loving this place! Of coarse, there are a ton of fun animals to do see. Daddy said maybe someday we could get a pet pig!! Wouldn't that be cool, Mama??

Biker Dude!

Trey loves his bike! Inside or out - it's his favorite toy of the month! And the baseball hat is just a bonus!

Will he be a 3 legged dog?

POOR PEDRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pedro decided this weekend that he was a BIG dog and jumped out of the back of the truck by himself. Why think such funny things? When he never did see his BIG brother, Jake, jump out of the truck. Unfortantely that is a decision he will regret for the rest of his life. His leg is broken - tragic as it may seem - in the near future Pedro may become a 3 legged dog. :(

1st COUNSINS, 2nd COUNSINS, 3rd COUNSINS & MORE

Counsins, counsins and more counsins in Minnesota! During our visit in Minnesota, Trey's 1st counsins Nash and Case took GREAT care of him. They took him on a camel ride, bike riding, to the park, to a petting zoo, to a festival and doing just plain boy stuff all week long! Trey was in heaven. We also got to have a great visit with Trey's 2nd Cousins Kim and Kara! Who have Trey's 3rd Counsins: Ella & Katrina- Andrew & Ava! We ALL went to a BBQ hosted by Trey's Great Aunt and Great Uncle Joe. Trey had so much fun with his 3rd cousins too! They blew bubbles, went to the park, and to the zoo! Cousins are so much fuN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
