I can't praise Trista enough for being such a great big sis to her brothers - she continues to amaze me and inspire me to love and serve my kiddos.  She is a natural little mama and I love to be caught in awe of her sweet acts of love.  Today, I found her reading to Trey and he was loving it.

This post is for Haley - Thank you for the cowboy boots - Trace loves them and has been wearing them EVERYWHERE - even for his nap today!  :)

And yes, Trace is still in jammies at nap time....let me explain.  Wednesday is our only day we don't have to leave the house, so I let Trace stay in jammies while I was cleaning this morning, so when we were going to change at 9:30, he asked me if Daddy was coming home for lunch because if Daddy comes home at lunch and finds him in jammies, Daddy walks in and immediately says, "You're still in jammies!" and it turns into a tickle fest and Trace loves it.  So since Daddy was maybe going to come home today for lunch, Trace begged to stay in his jammies.  I said he could and then Ryan wasn't able to come home, so I didn't have the heart to make him change.  I love that our kids find so much joy in those everyday memories!

Trey is definitely growing and changing - one of the big differences is his hair color!

Here is his signature grin - Luv it!

 Trey has been sticking out his tongue lately which is cute, but oh so slobbery!

This was just a test picture as I was getting ready, but I thought it was too cute to see that he may be just like his big brother - sticking out that tongue when he is concentrating!

There is a mouse in our house!  Trista has been bringing home books to practice reading each night and she really enjoyed reading "If you give a mouse a cookie", so when she got to pick what character she wanted to be for her school's dress like your favorite book character, she picked a mouse.  We had a lot of fun putting her costume together and she was very excited to head to school this morning!
