Utah. Week 4.

            Well our final week in Utah was nothing short of eventful.  Our days were spent...

Catching candy at the Lewiston Parade.  An old Anderson family tradition.  I look forward to it every year.  

Afterwards we all put our chairs up at the park and hang around until lunch time.  Then we all go eat at Big J's.  My mouth waters every time I think about their burgers.  Seriously my favorite.

 Cooking Smore's around the campfire at Lori's...

(This wasn't taken that night... so just imagine.)

               

Going to lunch with Dani and Laci...

Trey and Dexter
Cute how they were holding hands. :)

Mine and Dani's babies were born a week apart.  It was fun getting them together for the first time. 

                                             

Eating at Firehouse.  Yes, AGAIN.  :) 

Spending quality time with Grandmas and Grandpas...

Celebrating my Grandma Anderson's birthday.  She just turned 29!  ;)  We love you Grammy!

Great Grandkids

Nate and Trey have the same birthdays.  And Nate just happened to be a BIG baby like Trey.  They must have been buds up in heaven.

Hanging with Cousins...

Playing croquet at my sisters... and eating yummy shakes from Charlies.

Visiting with Good Friends... and meeting their cute new addition.  Baby Carson.  Born 2 months after Trey.

        And Saying Our Goodbyes...    

 

Unfortunately that put a quick damper on our wonderful week.

Until next time Utah.... :(

Hopefully that will be Soon.  So Very Soon...

Utah. Week 3.

This week was an eventful week as well.  Here is a quick run-down of our week.

I spent an evening with these lovely ladies.  Ate food, watched the Bachelorette, and talked late into the night.

I'm sad I didn't get to spend more time with them.

Only... I didn't get a picture.  So this one will have to do.  This was taken last April.

Had a wedding shower for our newest cousin Tausha. (Seated to the left of me)

One of my sisters friends took some pictures of Trey so we could give them to my mom and Jeff's mom for their birthdays.  For my mom, we got some pictures of the three grandkids together... and let me just tell you, it was NOT easy to get them all to look at the camera at the same time... and pretty much impossible to get them all to smile.  Oh well.  We tried.

 

Trey wasn't much in the mood for smiling and Brynli would not look at the camera despite all our efforts.  I even tried dancing around like a crazy person to get them to smile... that is until I got stung in the eye by a bee.  And that put an end to the picture taking real quick.

Jeff and two of his buddies decided they wanted to get up real early and hike to the top of this mountain.

 

No Thank You.

The view from the top.  Aww... Cache Valley.

 

 We went back up to Bear Lake and stayed in Jeff's condo with some of his friends.  It brought back some good memories.  Too bad we can't do that more often.

Trey seemed to really enjoy the hot-tub.

We got back just in time to watch the fireworks.

And we got up early the next morning to go to a 4th of July Breakfast.  Known as the "Best Pancake Breakfast in Town."  It's become tradition for the Wegeners.  And I must say, they don't disappoint.

 

And we may or may not have eaten at El Sol a few times.

I took Trey to his very first movie and he sat through it like a champ.  In fact, he did so good I took him to another.  He loved Eclipse almost as much as I did.  He even had reclined seating.  :)

Kidding...

The Three Stooges.  It looks like Trey is trying awfully hard to get out of the picture.  Little stink is learning early!

I walked in the room and my cute nephew was reading his dinosaur book to Trey.  Carson is a Dinosaur expert.  You ask him anything you want to know about Dinosaurs and he will tell you.  I kid you not.  He knows the names of so many that I can't even pronounce!  He LOVES Dinosaurs.

Cute Bryn giving Trey kisses.  He got LOTS of those while we were home.

And to conclude the week we got Western Family Photos.  I'm tellin ya, there was lots of pictures taken this trip! Here are a few.

3 down... 1 more to go!  I can do it!

5 Months!

My little boy is 5 months old today.  I can't believe it!  Time really has flown by.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.  It's crazy how quick they grow up.  He's getting so big so fast and I can't seem to do anything to stop him!

I missed Trey's 4 month post and wanted to record his stats.
Height: 27 inches (98%)
Weight:  20 lbs. 4 oz. Not kidding. (off the charts)
Head:  Can't remember, other than it is also off the charts.
One things for sure... My baby is consistent!

Trey To Date:

(This will probably bore most of you, so just scroll on down and look at the pics)

So far Trey is showing no signs of rolling over.  He seems a little too content just laying there on his back.  Maybe leaving him on his stomach for long enough will do the trick.  Either way, I'm not complaining, it's kinda nice being able to put him down without worrying about where he might roll off to.

He is well on his way to sitting up.  Every time I prop him up against something, he tries pulling himself forward.  He can pretty much sit up, but he's mostly just supporting his weight on his little belly, and he's still not got the balance thing figured out yet.  But he's close.

Trey will grab anything he can get his hands on.  And then it goes straight to his mouth.  He LOVES to eat his blanket... especially when I am putting him to sleep.  He will either have his fingers or his blanket in his mouth.


Trey always has his tongue sticking out of his mouth.  Especially when he smiles.  It's pretty funny.

He for some reason likes to put things over his face.  It's like a game to him.  When you pull it off, he puts it right back on.  Like his blankets or burp cloths.  The funny thing is he puts it over his head and then puts his arms straight up in the air and panics... like, oh no! now what!... and he breaths super fast.  It is hilarious.

Trey loves to be outside... unless he is in the sun.  Then he doesn't love it.  But if he's ever crying I can quickly get him to stop by taking him outside.  Maybe he's got mommy fooled.

When Jeff comes home, Trey is all smiles.  He gets so excited to see him and can't wait for Jeff to pay attention to him.

Our little monkey loves to watch the TV.  If I didn't know any better, I'd think he understood what was going on half the time.  He looks so enthralled.

The little stinker will NOT take a bottle.  I guess he's got it figured out that if he doesn't take one, then he gets to go with mommy wherever she goes.

Trey LOVES going on walks... mainly because he loves to look at everything around him.

I usually will rock Trey to sleep... for naps and bedtime.  I just have to sing him a few songs (he loves to be sung to) and wa-la.  He's asleep!  ...unless he is extra tired and then it takes a little more work.  Someday I am sure I will have to break him of this habit, but for now, I enjoy that time with him.

We've started Trey on Oatmeal and he seems to really like it.  I haven't started him on fruits and vegetables yet because well... he's big.  And I'm scared of him getting much bigger!

Trey used to sleep like a champ.  Now you never know when and how often he will wake up.  Some nights he will sleep a 7-8 hours stretch and others he will be up every 4 hours.  Don't know why every night is different.  I'm not going to complain though, because for the most part he does pretty good.  And he will usually sleep in until 9 or 10.  A boy right after his mom's heart. :)

He loves his baths but tries really hard to drink the water.  It's become quite the task trying to keep him distracted.

Trey is a good eater... obviously.... but is starting to become more and more distracted.  He is constantly wanting to know what is going on everywhere else and wanting to know who is talking.  I swear he thinks everyone is talking to him.

Trey is such a fun baby and is always full of smiles and laughs.  It doesn't take much to get him to smile.  And if you're Jeff, you can get him to laugh at the drop of hat.  Seriously.

And if you're my mom... you can also get a pretty good reaction out of him.  Love this video.

Trey is 3 months in this video.  It's my favorite, so I just had to share.  Sometimes we can get Trey laughing so hard he can barely catch his breath.  It's hilarious.  Jeff and I get such a kick out of it.  Unfortunately some of the most recent ones are on my phone and I don't have an adapter for the computer.  Darn.

We've taken Trey swimming a few times since we've been home from Utah and we've made some progress.  The first time... he didn't love it.

The second time... still not a fan.

And the third time, he liked it!  Yay!

This stage is so much fun!  The boy manages to put a smile on my face every day!  Love him to pieces!

Some Things Never Change....

(Just in case you are like my mom and can't tell the difference in age between the two pics... Trey is a newborn in the first pic and 5 months in the second pic)  Geeze, he must have looked huge as a newborn!)
