Ta Da

I didn't have anything fun to say about this week so I am posting a video of Trey being cute from a couple weeks ago. Sometimes I forget to turn my camera the right way when I switch from still shots to video, so you may need to cock your head. I was trying to get him ready for bed, when he decided he wanted to wear my socks instead. He must of thought he looked pretty stylish.

Check back next week for more updates though. I am heading out to Boston tonight for a few days. Work is sending me to a Design conference out there and I am really excited. And by a happy coincidence, my Dad will also be in Boston part of the time I am there. Hopefully we will be able to meet up for dinner or something.

Nate and Trey decided to make the most of their time together and have flown out to Seattle to visit some family and friends. Should be really fun! We will post more pics and stories next week when we are all home again.

Fire Fighter Parade

Spanish Fork Fire Department is celebrating it's 100th anniversary this month. Today they had a parade with fire trucks and engines and ambulances from all over the state. Nate got to drive the engine from Provo (see above photo). Trey and I went down to watch. To start the parade Life Flight flew their helicopter over the parade route a couple times very low and slow. Trey love helicopters! We live very close to a hospital so we get to see them often, and he LOVED that part of the parade. Next came all the fire vehicles with their horns and sirens going full blast. Trey was terrified! I had to hold him and cover his ears the whole time and if I moved even a little to readjust he would tighten his grip like his life depended on it. Towards the end I think started to like it because he started to wave to the people on the trucks and engines, but he never let go of me.Before the parade started when only the helicopter had gone by and we were still having fun.

Here's Trey holding on to me while the parade went by. It was very loud, I would have been scared at his age.

The had several really old vintage trucks in the parade too. These are some of the cooler ones.

The plan was to have 100 vehicles for a 100 years, I'm not sure if they made it, but they probably came really close.

After the parade we went to the park where the it ended. We said hi to Dad, had some cake and got to see all the engines up close. Good times!

Drawing

Lately Trey has started to hold his crayons and pens with just his finger and thumb, instead of holding it in his fist. I don't know if this is a milestone or anything, but I thought it was cute to see such a little guy holding the pen like a grown up.
