Running
1.12.09
I HATE running. Unless I am running FROM something, or running to something (like running into work because I am running late, or running to grab my son who is driving his power wheel jeep into oncoming traffic), otherwise, I detest it. Well, it has been a few months since having Tian and I am still not impressed with my post baby body. So, I have enlisted Trey as my running partner and I have set out to run around the block, in total darkness so my neighbors can't see my VERY awkward gait. I am afraid they would lose sleep over the sight of my slow jog and disgusting technique.
Tonight, two very funny things occurred. First, I was changing in my room as Trey watched on. Yes, we don't have much privacy in our home, unless Trey is using the restroom and demands it. As I was changing, Trey said, with a very enthusiastic voice, "Mom, YOU have another baby in your tummy," as he touched my flabby stomach. I think I crushed his excitement when I told him I wasn't going to have a baby for a very long time and that I was just flabby.
The Second funny thing was the get-up Trey wore as we ran. Needless to say, the cowboy hat didn't stay on for very long. (we will blame the excessive wind, from me running so incredibly fast, that blew his hat off!)
Trey sits in the jogging stroller, holds the flashlight and talks my ear off. It is very difficult to answer all of his questions as I am trying to truck along. Here are some of his questions:
"Mom, why do you spit on the ground?" (yes, an attractive trait of mine as I am slowly chugging along!)
"Mom, why can't we see Heaven?"
"Mom, why do those people have a reindeer in their yard? Is it CHRISTMAS again?!" (I squashed THAT question as fast as I could!!!)
"Mom, when Tian dies, can we get another baby?" (WHAT THE HECK? Tian isn't an animal!!! I was so sad by this question!)
"Mom, when Cooper dies, can we get a cat? Or can we get a dog and name it Gilbert?" (NO, we will NEVER get a cat, and it will take a very long time to talk me into another dog.)
By the time I am done with my "run," I am physically, and mentally exhausted!

Miss Michelle, the Genius

Miss Michelle is so clever and quick on her toes. I was helping with her kids this afternoon and we were serving Tuna Casserole. Being the horrible mother that I am (and a hater of tuna. Sorry Justin, I just can't stand the smell. He LOVES tuna! Nasty!) has never made Tuna Casserole for Trey. When we served it up for Trey, he didn't want anything to do with it. I didn't think he was ever going to taste it, until Miss Michelle thought of the greatest gimmick. She told Trey to tug on his ears as he swallowed his mouthful. It worked and he ended up loving the casserole. The other kids thought it was so funny, they joined in. This is a picture of one of Trey's friends Jorja trying the trick out! Thanks Miss Michelle!

Samuel

One of Trey's favorite Book of Mormon stories is Samuel the Lamanite. Justin took this video of Trey "reenacting" the Story of Samuel the Lamanite! (Please don't judge us on our messy room! It doesn't usually look like this, but as you can tell, we actually LIVE in our home! Surprise, surprise!)

Finding out our first child was going to be a boy, I was saddened thinking about all the cute girl clothes I would be missing out on. Boy (no pun intended!), was I wrong thinking only girl clothes were cute. Yes, it takes some searching, but there ARE cute boy clothes!
Poor Trey, he doesn't have a choice in what he wears on Sundays. He looked so sweet today at church, so before his lunch (when he USUALLY wipes his messy face on the sleeve of his shirt. NASTY! I am TRYING to break him of that nasty habit, but it is taking some time!) and nap, I asked him if I could take some pictures of him.
