Funny Moments with Trey

Treyson is now crawling, sitting and getting into EVERYTHING, especially gravitating toward things he isn't suppose to be in (cords, bills, plants, blinds etc.) He is on the move and is definitely enjoying this freedom. He LOVES chewing on socks and paper! Here is just a few funny moments we have caught on video or pictures. There are tons more but unfortunately not caught on pictures. Enjoy!

Video below is Treyson in his walker. He is very good at the walker. Anyways, while daddy was away I was playing with him and making monster noises to catch him. He would run away from me when he hears those sounds and start laughing. In the video he didn't really run away and it was so much funnier earlier but Treyson tends to stop doing things when he sees the camera. 

Treyson is eating well and sometimes loves playing with his food. He loves spreading any ounce of food he can get, on his cute little bald head. Needless to say I had to give him a bath after this meal :)

 Now that Treyson can go from lying down to sitting, he often sits up in his crib to look over to see if we are in the room. Well, I put him to sleep and he must have been sitting up looking for us and gave up and fell asleep while sitting up. Looks super uncomfortable to me. At least he is holding on to his favorite Monkey toy he sleeps with every night LOL.

Treyson loves socks! I am not sure that he loves them on his feet but definitely loves them. He is constantly pulling off his socks and sticking them in his mouth and pulling off the socks of the other kids I watch. The other day I found him dumping all the socks out of his basket and making a HUGE mess. Funny baby!

Treyson cracks up anytime I sneeze, he thinks it is the funniest thing in the world. I am so glad he wasn't camera shy for this. I love it when he laughs, you can't help but smile!

Wanna Take a Dip?

We had a freaky cold spell here in Vegas where it was in the high 20's-low 30's during the day. It was cold for Vegas, but nothing compared to Chicago or Rexburg. But still, pretty cold to freeze the pool with a waterfall on constantly. These pictures look cold but it was even more frozen a few days later, to a point where we can stand on a certain part. There was even a day where the only part of the pool not frozen was just around where the waterfall water fell.  I just wish it had snowed! I miss SNOW!! Although that week was freezing we are back to the 60's this winter and enjoying the nice weather. I am awaiting patiently when I can enjoy the pool in the Vegas summer with Treyson. I have a feeling we will be in the pool all the time.

Treyson's First Christmas

I know he looks drunk but this is right
before he fell asleep and the only
 pictures with semi eyes open with the flash. 

 Although Treyson probably won't remember anything this Christmas, I was still super excited to start new family traditions and so blessed to have a wonderful baby boy in our family this year. I got a Groupon for caroling on a horse drawn wagon. It was super fun and surprisingly really cold that week in Las Vegas. The wagon was super cute and decorated with lots of Christmas lights (which Treyson was memorized) and they played some really great classics that I remember from my childhood "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer", "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas" are just some of the fun ones I remember in my family. We ate Chili and Hot Chocolate and sat by the fire. Treyson was a little fussy half way into the ride but he quickly fell asleep and slept the rest of the time. Oh funny story...we were riding in the wagon which is about a 30-40 minute ride, and there was a little boy (maybe 3-4) on their and he declared he had to pee! The ride was almost over we can see the fire pit in the far distant but when a kid need to go, he NEEDS to go. So we stopped the ride and the other horse back riders around, so he could go pee. I just looked at Mark and said that will be us in a few years! It was really fun and I hope we can do something like this again.

 Christmas Eve

 

 I wanted to start a new tradition of opening up new pajamas on Christmas Eve and then go in the car and drive around and look at Christmas Lights. We went to a cool house that had their lights synced with music on a radio station. It was fun and Treyson seemed to like looking at all the lights. Oh and of coarse Mark got BYU PJs. All he needs now is BYU underwear! Just kidding!

Christmas Day

Christmas was great! Treyson seemed excited by all the people and things to see but honestly he was more interested in the wrapping paper (which I figured he would be) than the presents. He was definitely spoiled from head to toe by Grandparents, Aunt and Uncles, and of coarse us! We are so blessed! Mark got tickets to BYU game at BYU so he is pretty stoked! He also got tickets for the WCC conference here in Vegas.

I don't know why but I was super excited for Treyson's new car seat!!! Thanks Grandparents! Treyson was so DONE with the infant seat. He tries to sit up in it and let's just face it, Mommy can't carry him anymore in that infant seat. The new car seat is AWESOME! Although I missed my family terribly during Christmas, it was nice to have Mark's family around to share the Holidays.

Cake Decorating!

My different color frostings

What a MESS!

I have always wanted to learn how to cake decorate. I see such cute stuff on pinterest and other sites and wish I can do it but when I tried, it always looks like my nephew Jayden probably decorated it. So for Christmas I asked for some cake decorating tools and classes. My parents were awesome and got them for me and I found a cheap class online. Kevin and Gabby decided to visit us during Martin Luther King weekend and since Kevin's birthday was just a few days earlier, I decided to put my cake decorating again to the test. I made my own frosting and boy did it make a mess, but it was SO good!! I kept eating it and I am not a frosting girl. I decided to take pictures as I decorated in case it went wrong then I had proof that it may have looked better before I ruined it. Luckily it turned out good. It was hard decorating a cake while watching kids because it actually takes some time. I am sure once I get better it will take no time. The pink stars were actually suppose to be red but oh well. Next time I will add more color.

Within a couple of days it was ALL gone :)

Birthday Boy!

Surprise Party: Cupcake Decorating

 It called for 7 cups of icing and so I made that much but I had TONS left over. Luckily this frosting is good for 2 weeks so I decided to use the same frosting for a Surprise Farewell Party for a German Exchange student in Young Womens. I didn't really have a cupcake decorating tip but I used what I had and they turned out pretty cute. I also made this pineapple lemonade punch. I didn't even mean to have a theme of yellow and white for the party but it just turned out that way. I didn't have a cupcake stand either so I used the bottle dryer that someone gave me. Doesn't it look great? LOL I don't think the Young Women knew is was a bottle dryer rack. Anyways, I am not looking into being a professional at this, just enough to make a cute cake. Practice, practice, practice!
