I thought that I would start by sending everyone a little of sun shine. I am assuming that you will take any you can get. We are actually cold today. I think that the highs are suppose to be around 60. So we are bundling up in our sweatshirts. Poor us!
Trey is growing up so fast. We just pulled him out of preschool because he was coming home telling us that he watched cartoons. They were not teaching him anything, so I guess it wasn't meeting our expectations. We have been working hard on his letters. He loved school and can not wait to go to kindergarten. He is such a peacemaker in our home. Every night before bed he ask me if we can clean the house tomorrow.
Trent makes us exhausted watching him. He is always up to something. What an active boy he is! His favorite thing is playing with his trucks. What an imagination he has. We are always on our toes and going strong every day with him around. But at night he crashes and sleeps so hard. It seemed that lately he had been getting sick a lot. He would throw up at night then be fine the next day. Now I said that he is a deep sleeper, he does not even wake when he has thrown up..so I go into to check on him and find that he has rolled all around in it. After the last time he did it I stayed awake thinking about why in the world he was throwing up about every other week.(seems that I was wide a wake from being thrown up on) I figured out the reason...Burger King. Tyson's favorite place to eat is making Trent sick. Every single time we go he throws up that night. It is either the soda or the hamburger. We have not been back since figuring that out.
Tru has changed the most. He is almost one and finally crawled today!! Yes I said crawlednot walked. Trey and Trent were both walking about this time so it was hard having not do anything. He also finally has two teeth! He is such a content baby and a mommy's boy. He is just starting to show his little personality. He is pretty funny. It is hard to believe that a year has gone by. It doesn't seem like he should be one he still has all his baby fat because he hasn't been moving at all until today.
I (Carrie) am enjoying staying home again. Our boys keep me busy. We stay busy with painting, playing puppies(thanks Maryssa and Mason),working on our letters, playing london bridges, coloring, board games, racing and anything else they can come up with. I have been working on not worrying about the house work and spending more time with my top priority our boys. I feel that I have left them behind for about a year when I was running the business. I loved doing the business but I lost focus of my mission in life. I don't know how you that work and are moms can do it. I remember not wanting to be "just a mom". But I have realized that there is no such thing of " I AM JUST A MOM". It has been a great change for me. So I find myself every day playing with our boys. We live right by a park so we try to go every day unless it is cold. I have been called to the Enrichment Board but have not done one thing with it yet.
We got some good news about a couple of weeks a go. Let me catch you up on the situation first. I am not sure how many of you know this but in May of 2005 we took a family trip to the zoo in Utah. After the zoo, are trip went down hill when we came out of the zoo with the Car surrounded my cops. To make the story short Tys was cited with a misdemeanor class B for animal cruelty for leaving our wonderful, spoiled dog in the car. It ended up being a bigger thing than we thought. It was possible jail time up to a year. We hired an attorney he fought it and we had to pay way to much money for this innocent thing. Anyways we thought it was done there but it came back to bite us when Tys applied for a job with Southern California Edison in September. They would not even look at his application because he had a misdemeanor. So in September we started the expungement process. After a lot of paper work, waiting time, mailing back and forth to Utah, and more money we got word last Friday that it was done! So now we are onto the process of contacting the Edison lady to see if he can get on with them. More of the waiting...patients is a virtue right? Some thing that I need to learn more and more of.
Tys has been busy with work. The commute isn't to bad most of the time, except when, out of the blue it snows here and Californians flip out, or when there is construction, OK his commute is about an hour. On his time off he has been reading and playing with our boys. He has been going on long bike rides with Trey and Trent around the neighborhood. Which they all have enjoyed.
We are all doing really good here. We love it here in California! We are ready for a change again so we are getting a little antsy. We are sick of having all of our stuff packed away. But if that is the worst I would say that we are doing wonderful!
