Big Brother Love

 So apparently being a big brother is easy and fun. Jacob took right to Trenton from the start. He asks daily to hold Trenton. He checks on him while he is sleeping and my ultimate fav... he holds Trents hand in the car while we are driving. He will even attempt to get him to stop crying. He is awfully sweet for being such a tough big brother!

This one is my favorite!!

 Nathan on the other hand is not so "hands on". I have 2 pics (both of which are terrible) of Nathan holding T. He isn't really into the camera these days. However... if T so much as moves, he will come and tell me. When I hear T fussing I usually find Nathan next to him telling him "It's ok Trenton, Mama is here. Mama is coming" Just melts my heart!!

Nathan holding Trenton.. couldnt believe he smiled for me. Even T was surprised!

Jacob asks to help feed the baby!

Hugs..

and kisses.

Bargains and treasure hunts!

 So anyone who knows me, knows that I am a bargain shopper.  I was at hobby lobby last week getting some stuff for a project for Trentons room and I heard two ladies in a commotion behind me. I heard "metal detector and markdown" and I turned right around and there was one behind me marked down from 179.99 to 17.99! What what! I grabbed it so fast. I knew we could have a blast with one of these things! Apparently only two of the four were marked down to 17.99 the others were 49.99. The one lady was so mad that I grabbed the cheap one that she followed me around the store the rest of my trip there and was "watching" me to see if I would put it down! The nerve! I finally left w/ my treasure find and the next day we had a treasure hunt in the back yard! We found all sorts of goodies! (Once again pardon the outfits my kids are wearing.. they pick out what they want to wear and Daddy says "dont ever tell them no if they want to wear their boots")

Nathan helping haul the shovels!

Daddy found a head to a old hoe.

Jacob thinks treasure should be easier to find!

Faster dad!

Lots of these bad boys in the yard!

shovel/sand fights when they got bored!

Treasures we found.. coke can, nails, hoe, some mysterious metal peice and a foil lined bag!

We have a big yard so we will keep posting what we find next!

Cold front and rain!

 Well last week we had our first cold front blow through w/ a good amount of rain. When the rain stopped we thought it was a good idea to try out Nathans new water boots from granny. Jacob was happy to get Nathan big boy boots from last year! We went out and splashed through the yard. Even though its cold outside J refused to wear jeans!

Nathan looking for lobsters!

Nathans "lobster" aka crawdad!

Looking for frogs in the culvert!

 Jacob wanted to "stomp and jump" in every puddle. Unfortunatly for him there were some that were deep. He was soaking wet. Just look at his shirt in the pic above!

Splash!!!!

 So he was walking and I could hear was "Slish slish slish" I told him to sit down and empty his boots. He sat down and lifted his leg to take his boots off and water just came pouring out!!!!!

See water!!

Nathan insisted he had "water" in his boots.. however his socks were dry.

see deep water when you jump into it!

After our 30 min adventure! He was "SO COLD" so we came in!

Newborn Pics of Trenton!

 My friend Julie took some pics of Trenton for me the week he was born! They turned out so cute. He slept so hard during the pics (and not much has changed since!) He is a month tomorrow and I cant believe that its been 4 weeks! (of no sleep that is!)
