Florida....

My little beach boy.
 Mostly I'm just going to post pictures from this quick little trip that Treagan, Sister, and I took to Florida to visit my dad.  We won't talk about it because the whole trip ended up being a total nightmare, but Treagan was a trooper through all the drama, and we just loved being able to spend a few days in the sun!  So thankful for this baby boy and sweet sissy of mine!
Helping mama pack.
Ready for take off!

Seriously, the best baby on the plane!
When we landed a bunch of people told us they didn't even know we had a baby on the plane!!!  GOOD BOY!
Loves his Aunt Baba.
4 hour lay over in Houston.  Getting all the wiggles out!
Acted like he owned the place.  The moving sidewalks and these cars kept him entertained.
We made it!  Early morning walks in the sunshine with Mama!
The beach.

Sand EVERYWHERE.
Found Mickey on his diaper.
Sunchips.



Charlie made a surprise visit!
He loved the continental breakfast.
Exploring around the hotel.
I think we spent more time riding the elevator than we did at the beach.
Wake up and play with me Baba!
Going up.  Going down.  Going up.  Repeat.
Churros on our way to the beach!

Making a hole to bury the baby!
He loved all the airplanes!
Such a trooper this boy was!
Mickey D's
THE FUNDERDOME!  We had like 5 hours to kill before our flight so we found this little place and it seriously was so much fun!  The perfect place to tire a baby out before a flight.  Thanks Baba for playing with us.  You're the best!



And we are on our way home!  I love him in his jammies.

The Day of Love


Vday morning.
 Valentine's Day this year was awesome! I LOVE holidays and making little traditions, and holidays are even more fun with a little one around to celebrate it with!  The night before Valentine's we had pink crepes and egg burritos for dinner.  I knew I wouldn't be up for getting up super early before Kell got off to work to make a big speacial breakfast so we did breakfast for dinner.  Then the next morning I just made the boys banana nut muffins for breakfast.  "Muffins for my stud muffins...."  Treagan and I spent the day decorating our room for Daddy, doing Vday crafts, and making Valentines for all of his little neighbor friends.  That night Daddy came home and we put the wild baby to bed and he cooked up some delish lobster tails!  Seriously, divine.  I decided I'm gonna let him cook more often!  Then that weekend, we got a babysitter and I got to go out with my man.  It was his turn this year to plan it, and it was perfect.  Especially since his options were so limited with a prego wifey.  He took me up to Midway, which is one of our favorite places, and we went on a horse drawn sleigh ride!  Seriously, every bit as dreamy as they sound.  We cuddled up under some warm buffalo blankets and had a blast just chatting along the way with no baby disturbances.   Then he took me over to Zermatt to walk around... and of course we reminisced about him proposing there, and our wedding night spent there.  Then we went to this super yummy Mexican restaurant and ate carne asada burritos, chicken enchiladas, went to town at the salsa bar, and finished it off with some tres leches.  It really was the perfect date, and I just love that Kellster boy so much.  Definitely nobody I'd rather spend my time with!  Thanks babe for making me feel so loved and special.
Helping Mama light the candles.  Such a romantic.
Helping Mama with the muffins.
Loves to pull out all of his spoons.

So dreamy :)

All about Treagan at 18 months!

After his shots. . .  Luckily it doesn't take much to make this kid happy again.
Treagan is a big 1 and a half year old these days! He's seriously so much fun, and Kelly and I can't stop talking about how much we just love him.  Lots of work, but it's fun work! He talks up a storm now, and he learns new words everyday!  He pretty much blows me away every single day with how smart and funny he is, and I love when Kell comes home from work so we can show off all our new tricks each day.  We took him in for his 18 month well check and here's his stats. . .
Height-33" 70%
Weight-24 lbs. 12 oz. 33%
Head-47.4 cm 41%
We love it that Dad always takes the day off work to come to all of his Dr appointments with us!

Church these days is everything but reverent.  





He's obsessed with looking through our wedding book and naming all of our family!
Insists on eating his yogurt all by himself.  SO messy, but I gotta let him.
We've spent a lot of our cold winter days at the Provo Beach Resort.
Riding the horsey on the carousel.
Doing crafts while it snows outside.  Spring can't come soon enough for us!!!
Laying down on the job.
The final project Daddy's two little kiddies made for him.
 Still tall, skinny, and just perfect.  This guys definitely has got a mind of his own lately and is not afraid to voice his opinion.  He won't sit in his high chair anymore and it drives me crazy!  He wants to sit next to mommy (or on mommy) like a big boy on the chair.  He won't wear bibs.  He likes to walk around the grocery store or sit in the big part of the cart, but definitely tells ya he doesn't like the baby seat anymore!  He doesn't like the stroller either.  It makes for some pretty good battles and tantrums I tell ya, so I'm hoping it's just a little phase and that he will go back to being a little more cooperative sometime soonish!  Seriously, he's lucky he's so cute!  His fun personality and sweet smile make up for all the naughtiness for sure.  He's also becoming quite the little clown.  He loves to makes people laugh and will show off for anyone who will watch.  He's still got his huge, sensitive heart and I pray everyday that it will never change.  I've still never had to use time out with him because a loud no, or a stern mommy look, or me getting sad or upset is enough to make him rush with guilt.  He's quick to say sorry and give a hug or a kiss when he makes a mistake and it literally melts me.  There's been a few times that Kelly or I have even made him well up in tears for feeling so bad for something he's done, just by us being sad.  He also will get a very small owie and has to always get a kiss from mama where it hurt before he can forget about it. Haha he's such a funny boy!   He is still taking two naps.  Not quite sure how or when we will transition to one cuz its a huge fail every time we try. So for now we roll with it and stick with his schedule, cuz it's working.  In the next month or two we are hoping to have him in his big boy bed!  We are excited for him and hope he does well.   He still loves just about any fruit, doesn't like veggies, and eats cheese of some sort at just about every meal.  He also loves his Dew Dew ( Diet Dew), thanks to Daddy.  I guess there's worse things ;)  Treagan has become quite the Velcro baby lately.  Daddy calls him my barnacle.  It's super cute and sweet and I just know someday I will want his clinginess back, but man right now I really am hoping and praying he grows out of this little phase soon too!  It makes me wonder how I'm gonna handle two, when he's so all-consuming!  It's also making for some very big back problems for this mama, so hoping he will learn to be a little more independent soon!  We go to tons of play dates, and he has lots of little friends, we go to Gymboree every week, and we leave him with sitters quite a bit...he does great with all of it as long as mama is right there by his side, or if I'm leaving him, I have to sneak out without him knowing.  If he sees me leave or I try to hand him off to somebody, even daddy or Grammy, he just about dies.  It's so hard!  Anyway, just wanted to jot down a few things about the little love of my life at this stage so I don't ever forget it!  Oh i love being his mommy.... The only one who can fix every owie. (my cute friend wrote a song a little while ago, and those are part of the lyrics.) I sing it to him everyday because I really do love being his mommy and feel so blessed to have this sweet calling in life.  Love you Tay Tay!
Longest little boy!
He thinks he's so big.
I love his little body!
He loves his daddy.
Our fridge monster.
Grammy got him this little Mickey for Vday, and he takes him EVERYWHERE.  Here he is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, dancing with his very own Mickey.  Thanks Gammy!
We've been trying to slowly get things ready for Colston.  Treagan thinks its funny to be a baby again.
I just love this boy.
Locking Mommy out of the car is hilarious!
My little shopping buddy.
Treagan loves to watch videos of himself that we have on our phones.  He says, "Tay Tay!!!"
We can't go to Smith's without him climbing up in this car with his monkey friend.
Give us a little bit of sunshine and something about 30 degrees and we are gonna have a PICNIC!!!!
Gymboree's Art Class
Our little Van Gogh
The kid won't sit in a stroller but he will sit in one of these!!!
Breakfast at Paradise Cafe with Mommy.
We have spent wayyyyy too much time being sick this winter.
This is what happens when we are sick and cooped up inside for too long.  We all go nuts.
This is what I wake up to on Saturdays. . . Daddy gets up with Trey so mommy can catch up on a little sleep!  How lucky am I????
Canno and Tay are bestest little buddies.  I love watching them play together these days.
Treagan loving on Sydney.  He LOVES babies and I think he's super excited to have one of his own to man handle all day long.  I just know he will be so sweet to baby Cole.
We are trying to get Tregan's big boy room all ready, and so far he loves it!
Watchin some TV without a diaper on.  Good thing we put a pee pad on top of his mattress!
I think I am gonna have a harder time than he will when we move him from his crib to his big boy bed!  He'll always be a little baby to me.
