I want to "See-Attle"

My Mom and Trenton and I went to Seattle the weekend before Thanksgiving to visit Tuesday in her new home. Trenton was really excited. He was pretty great for the whole drive too! :) However, he insisted that it was not Seattle, but he was going to see attle and he was excited to see it.

Tuesday's apartment is in downtown Seattle and is really amazing! We went to the children's museum via the monorail (Trenton's favorite), ate at Serious Pie (best pizza ever), got lost in IKEA (Trenton thought this store was a big play house), and had some serious fun at Pikes Market (Trenton thought the fish were cool and would not touch the big, big spider "A.K.A crab"). And I even got a night out with Karina, Andria (Karina's friend from school) and Tuesday while my mom watched Trenton. Those are the "highlights" of the trip. Here are a few pictures! Hope you enjoy.

Dancing

So my update to my neglected blog would not be complete without a video of Trenton dancing. He loves to dance. Dance, dance, dance. So without further ado-here is Trenton's version of getting his groove on (and well Aaron's too).

Hike!

So my mom and I decided to go for a hike. She said Paulina Lake loop was a good one for kids. So we packed up and made the drive. It was so beautiful and I plan to do it again! The whole loop was 7 1/2 miles. Trenton literally hiked 3 of the miles. We had his backpack he could sit in, but he wanted to walk. He was such a trooper. The weather was perfect-absolutely amazing for mid-September. We sang silly songs for the last mile and ate burgers to finish off the day! Honestly, who could have asked for a better day.

Camping

We went camping with a bunch of friends. It was so fun! Trenton loved it! Sadly it was are only time! I personally plan on going much more next year!

Hi there!

I have no idea what I'm doing, but Trenton and Nanny are cute and that's Aaron with a beer

Ok...To funny! Trenton just had to be like the guys (Aaron and Matt).

Summer is officially over

The freezing rain and frozen toes confirm it. Summer is gone for the year. And as with every year I find myself thinking we need pumpkin treats around the house. I've made Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies and a pumpkin pie so far. And as I'm sitting here sipping my hot tea I am wishing for pumpkin muffins. Hmmm...seriously fall.
So let's see what has happened since the last post, or should I says posts?! :)
We went camping! It was fun and Trenton was soo dirty! We also went to a good friends wedding in Portland and I had a mini-reunion with good friends. It makes me wish they would all hurry up and move to Bend. But perhaps that is not the grand plan so I'm just trying to be happy for the good things! Like the fact they are my friends.
Trenton is growing so much! He is really trying to figure out how to be the boss, but is still such a joy. I recently asked him why he wasn't listening and his reply was, "I'm not, because... I'm not". I had to look the other way because I couldn't help but smile. Simple truths.
Poor guy also had a mishap. He jumped on the dog- even though it is against the rules- and as Kelso got up to walk away from him (I would too) he started screaming his head off. So I quickly picked him and took a look. Sure enough he has managed to pull one of his front lower teeth forward. I am still mystified as to how it happened. But he did. We saw the dentist and not much can be done. Good thing it's a baby tooth. He is on the mend- and still my happy boy.

And then there was Pt. 5

Apparently we had that much fun...Pt. 4

Seriously...Summer Fun Pt. 3

Where has all that time gone...

Wow, I have not updated this blog since April. I am pretty sure a lot has happened since... Where has all that time gone to?

Let's see. Since April we have been busy.

Trenton made his first trip to the Portland zoo. We've been up to Lake Billy Chinook, canoeing at Sparks, hiking here and there, enjoying fireworks (for the first time for Trenton). Oh the list could go on and on.

Trenton is working on potty training and talking non-stop about everything everyday. He loves to drive his trucks, cars, trains, plans and helicopters. He also loves reading!

Here are a few pictures from late spring. I'll get some more up of this summer!
