Train ride

This train ride in the mall made Tre's day. William refused to get on, but he had fun watching Tre. It was only a $1, so I was thrilled with being able to bribe him to behave while I shopped so that he could go ride in the train again ;0)

Tre's tracing...

This is a quick video of Tre working on his workbook. It's his new favorite thing. I mentioned coloring and he asked for the "line" book instead. I am happy with that because it's helping him with writing...even coloring. Now when he colors a picture he says, "I need try stay in lions (Tre's word for lines)." He doesn't, but he tries! :)

Tre's pencil holding

You may wonder why I think this picture is significant, but I got a little workbook out that I use with Tre and he picked up the crayon and actually held it correctly! I was really impressed. Usually he grabs it like a stick! This was the first time I've seen him do this! Now maybe I can work on his handwriting, but I must admit, it is really hard to teach a right hander to write since I am a left hander!

Too cute not to post...

Tre and William watching tv together. I don't know why, but I think it's sweet.

I had to document that Tre actually fell asleep at nap time today. It was in the car, but it was still a miracle. He slept almost from door step to door step...almost 3 hours!!!

Dad's surprise 60th birthday party

This weekend was my dad's 60th birthday party. It was a surprise and it was great. My sisters and I decided to surprise my dad AND mom with our costumes. We dressed as my mom and dad through the ages. It was HILARIOUS!

This is me as my mother right now. She LOVES exercise and does it daily, so this is her daily uniform. She also has big diamonds, so I had big bling. I added the reading glasses because it's very rare those aren't on her either. People were pretty freaked out about how much I looked like her.

Allison (my middle sister) was my mom when she is older. She had a name take that said "BEBE-2040's: If found call Dan Bloomer and return to XXX retirement home". She also had a walker with a bag of wine attached to her IV! It was quite funny. Marcy (my oldest sister) was my mom in high school. Becky (my twin sister) was my mom when she was pregnant (perfect since she is really 38 weeks pregnant). She carried a picture of my mom when she was pregnant with us and they were identical!

Scott (Marcy's hubby) was my dad as an eagle scout, and John was my dad in the 70's. You can't tell, but John has salt and pepper hair! I am carrying spray paint because my mother spray paints everything!

This is my dad right when he walked in (he was dressed as George Washington). He couldn't figure out who the man in the mask was, but it was his brother he flew in from Montana.

Allison stayed in character all night and it was pretty darn funny!!!

Legos

I don't know if you can see this really well. We went to get new shoes and they had a lego table. Tre had never played with legos of this much detail. By the time we were done at the store, he had built this all by himself. We were quite impressed! He may be an architect!

Why?

Why does the toilet break right when Jack leaves? Figures!

Ahhh well...such is the life of a Navy wife!
