GNO w/ FFWC

Girls Night Out with the Fire Fighters Wives Club. aka GNO w/ FFWC. This month we really went for and did an all nighter.
In all 10 wives (only 9 pictured) went up to Heber and spent the night at Amy's parents cabin. Thank you Amy! We made some really yummy pizza, ate lots of treats and stayed up way way to late talking. It was well after 2 am before I went to bed. I felt like I was in high school again.

The next day we went to Swiss Days. That was a first for me. There were tons of cute crafty things and more delicious food. We had so much fun. I feel very lucky to be a part of this group. Thank you ladies!

School Update

Trey seems to love pre-school. Singing, playing, coloring and snack time. What's not to love?

The big surprise for me was how independent he is at only 3 years old. We got the bus schedule worked out. His first day on we was all smiles.
The next day was neighborhood preschool. Nate helped him put on his shoes and backpack in the house. Trey waved and said good bye in his special way that really means "you wait here while I go do this". Nate watched from the window while Trey walked the two doors down to preschool by himself without looking back. The next day he did the same thing to me when the bus came. Out the door and onto the bus. Bye Mom...

First Day of School x2

Trey started Pre-school this week. Twice.

First one was Tuesday at my next door neighbors house. He's been watching the other preschool kids play in her back yard all year. Now he finally gets to go too. It went great! I'm sure it helped that he knew some of the other kids and the teachers from the neighborhood.


Second one started on friday. It was through Alpine school district. Few glitches with this one. Starting with the bus not showing up. We have been telling him all week about riding the bus, but it was not to be. He didn't want me to leave when we got there and wouldn't take off his back pack at all. After 30 mins I was finally able to sneak out. He seemed okay when I picked him up, until all the kids got on the bus except him. He had a little meltdown. We are hoping to have the bus thing worked out in time for preschool on Wednesday.

The teacher said he did "pretty good" I was feeling a little proud until she added "It will just take a few days for him to adjust". That doesn't sound good. The only other thing I could get out of her was, he was "a little stubborn". No surprise there.

How did that get there?

Smith is at a fun age right now. He likes to put things in other things. Usually it’s just toys into a bowl or blanket in a box, but sometimes he gets creative. This week I have found the following things in weird places:

A little peoples person in the fridge
Hotwheels in the towel drawer
Broccoli in my purse
My wallet in the trash can
My cell phone in the Kitchen Aid
His bottle in the potty chair (don’t worry, I threw it away)

So fun!

That's Hot

When Nate and I met I thought being a Fire Fighter was pretty hot. It's been almost 8 years and I still think so.

Birthday Boy!

Yeah! He's a year old! We kept it pretty low key this time. Smith, Trey and I went to Toys R' Us to pick out birthday presents while Nate got dinner and a cake ready.
Trey got a toy too. He picked a Super Why costume. So cute!


Feeding Dad some of his cake.He made a big mess with the cake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY little man! We love having this guy in our family.
