If you build it, they will come...

Since the day Aaron found out we were having Trinity, he had dreams of building a playhouse and he started saving money here and there. A couple of weeks ago, he started building that dream...a playhouse fit for a princess and prince (and any future siblings). It's not finished yet, but it's getting closer! We've had many people stop by and ask if Aaron's building a 'man-cave' or a doghouse...nope, a big, beautiful playhouse! A few parents have expressed their frustration with him...their kids want one now! We told them to just come on over and play! We'll keep adding pictures as more and more gets finished on it.

Thank, Mimi & Papa!!

Thanks, Mimi & Papa for coming out to play with us! We had such a great time with you! We love you!

Trinity's Adventures...

Here is Miss Trinity and snapshots of her life as a 2- year old!

She put her milk cup in her boot to drink from. Some may call it odd, I call it creative!

No one brushes hair like Papa...and she wouldn't let anyone else brush her hair! They have quite the bond between them!
Reading a book before bedtime...clapping like seals!

Trinity convinced cousin Beau to go play in the sand pile with her...it didn't take much twisting of his arm, just a sweet little, "come on" and a tug on his finger.

Out and About with Elijah Ray

Here are pics of just Eli doing what he loves to do at 7 months...swing, smile, and take baths!

Daddy & Eli sharing a secret...hmm, what do boys tell each other?!

After bath with Mimi

On Top of the World...

When you're on the top of a mountain, it feels like you're on top of the world, right? Mom and Dad came out for a visit a couple of weeks ago and we took them to Mt. - the highest point in Kansas. Okay, so technically it's not a true mountain...but it sure was cold and windy up there that day!

Easter 2009

Who would have thought such a sweet face could cause so much commotion? Our Easter trip to Mom and Dad's- one for the books. We drove to Danville Thursday evening and Eli spit up A LOT on the way there, which is very unusual for him. I thought it was the car ride- Aaron thought he was sick...Aaron was right. Eli got sick a few more times that night and Friday just wasn't himself. He was better by Saturday and we didn't think anything else of it until...Aaron got sick Saturday evening, Mom & Trinity got sick on the way home from Sunday church, Justin & Amber got sick Sunday night, Dad got sick Monday when he got to work, and all of Jessica's kids (all 4 of them!) got sick that week, too! So, this sweet, big-blue eyed, loving boy, started the sickness mayhem that spread like wildfire Easter weekend!

Right after church (where Abbey made her First Communion & my brother-in-law, Jeremey, joined the Church) before Trinity got sick.

Aaahhh, Uncle Justy & Trinity...I just love this picture!! Looking at it you'd think they were both angels all of the time...or maybe you can tell they're hiding their mischievious sides!

The Outsiders...

At Mimi & Papa's, we had lots of outside time! Not to be outdone by her little brother and his red hat, Trinity convinced Papa (like that was hard!) to find her a hat, too!

Eli sportin' his red hat with Daddy.

Trinity was helping Mimi plant her garden...I think Trinity may be helping in the wrong area with her 'plumber's crack' showing! Her little bottom just doesn't keep her pants up!

Oh, how she loved helping Mimi plant her garden! Trinity loves to be outside (what kid doesn't?!) and to play in the dirt!
