Trey's First Haircut

Although if it was up to me Trey would never have gotten a haircut as I loved his curls in the back, it became clear that his hair was approaching the mullet stage. We took him for his first haircut at the kids haircutting place in International Mall and by the end I was almost in tears because the curls were gone. On the positive side, Trey was a real trooper and did not mind the haircut at all.

The during - Trey loved being able to sit in the car

The finished product - he was so proud of himself

For being such a good boy Trey got to go to Build a Bear and make his own bear.

Go Gators - Beat Charleston Southern

Trey went to his first Gator tailgate when he was three months old. This year we headed to Gainesville for the first game of the season - Charleston Southern. Trey had much more fun this year as he could run around and say Hi to all of the fans walking by. We tailgated at the Martin tailgate - the best spot in Gainesville on game day. Trey was the hit of the day wearing his Treybow jersey that Herb, Missy and Hannah gave to him.

The awesome jersey!

Trey eventually got bored with the party and wanted to color - Trey loves to color!

New Hampshire August 2009

Sadly, my Grammie passed away in August, so we got on a plane to New Hampshire for the funeral. Although the visit was for a sad reason, it is always nice to see family. I wish that New Hampshire and Florida were not quite so far apart so that we could visit with the Fredrick side of the family more often. My cousin Angie hosted the whole family at her house the night after the funeral for dinner and quality time. Trey and Dylan loved her piano and all of the kids loved playing together.

SURPRISE!!

In order to celebrate Rory, Kim and Dylan's return to the States and Rory's 30th Birthday, we threw a surprise party at the house. It is always fun to see the look on someone's face when you surprise them. Everyone was so excited to see the guests of honor as it had been way too long.

Welcome Home and Happy Big 3-0!

Oh how I love cake!

Back Together Again

After a year in Japan, Rory, Kim and Dylan arrived back in the states at the beginning of August. To celebrate we packed our bags and spent the weekend at the beach with the whole family. It was such a special weekend and was so nice to be able to sit around the dinner table and all chat together in person. Trey was in love with his cousin and spent the weekend following him around trying to figure out what big boys do. One of the cutest moments of the weekend was Jimmy was flying a kite and Dylan was so upset that the kite seemed to be getting away.

Nana got the boys these Gator rafts - too cute!!

13 Months

At thirteen months Trey was not just walking but running. He had 12 teeth and was getting more as you can tell by the drool. He was learning a new word almost every day and kept us on our toes with having to baby proof the house. We turned the breakfast nook into a playroom and Trey loves to pull toys off the shelves. Trey loves to read books and is so cute as he scoots backwards until he is in my lap. He also loves to play catch.

Visit with the Wagners

It has been forever since I have posted as the past few months have been busy but I am making it my mission to catch up over the next week.

At the end of June, beginning of July, we were so happy to have a visit from our ex-neighbors, Ken, Chris and Taylor. It was also Taylor's 1st birthday and it was so nice to be able to celebrate such a big milestone together!

Babies in the Bath

One afternoon we took Trey and Taylor to the pool at Finley's House - it was Trey's first time at the pool and he loved it!

In addition to Taylor's 1st birthday, it was also Trey's and Taylor's friend Avery's 1st birthday and so one afternoon was spent celebrating at Avery's party
