trains and cars and trucks and buses and airplanes and helicopters and....

This is a continuous loop of Trevor's train of thought. Insert milk and food in there a few times and you pretty much have it all there. He loves building his train track but has recently come up with a new activity.

In the car we are on the lookout for trains and cars and trucks and buses and airplanes and helicopters and.... anyway, the other day in the car we saw a bus go by and then just down the road two more. Trevor said "Mama - more bus!" And I said, "Yes, more buses!" He insisted that it was bus not buses. Eventually I gave up, but then the next time we were out and saw buses I had to go through the whole process again convincing him that one bus is just a bus, not buses.

movie party

We had Madison over a little while ago for Nemo, popcorn, and fruit snacks. They had lots of fun! Trevor loves his cousins and is missing them, it has been too long since we played.

big boy, big helper

Trevor loves playing with stickers - lots of em.




Trevor just loungin' watching some TV one morning. He sometimes lays down in front of the TV like David used to when he was little (or so I hear); anyway, I'm pretty sure it's just in his DNA. :0)


I'm trying to put a few changes into place with my baby boy before he becomes the big brother. We just started out with a big boy bed, which hasn't been too bad yet. When he was in his crib about half the time he would cry and cry so I would end up in the rocking chair until he finally fell asleep in his crib. So the past few nights I've been in the same spot, he's just moved to his toddler bed. For naps it's a little scarier, so I have just used the strategy of exhausting him to the point where he passes out in my arms during our reading/singing pre-nap. But sooner or later I'll have to just lay him down and let him fall asleep on his own. We'll see! Last night I tried just closing the door and walking away. He didn't leave the room, but he did knock on the door forever saying "Mommy, where are you?" and then he just passed out on the floor right in front of the door. It could be (and probably will!) worse. So, I'm feeling okay about our start.

But Trev has also been helping me a lot around the house. He will to run to the kitchen and grab a towel if there is ever a spill. Although when he first figured out this pattern of events I'm pretty sure we had a couple of intentional spills just for the thrill/praise of the clean up. He enjoys doing the dishes and I actually really like it too, even though I still have to redo the silverware when he's done. I got just a little tiny clip of him helping out. These days it's almost impossible to get video/pictures of him without him going after the camera/screaming to look at the picture. But notice that he has grouped all the knives and pulled them out at once. So organized - I don't know where he gets that from, but it's cute!




No matter how big he gets, he'll always be my little baby boy. This is us having a little nap/snuggle the other day.

Happy Birthday, little T!

We Love You!
Terrible Twos Here We Come!

I'm so glad that Trevor is in our family and I love seeing him grow up. I always wondered if I'd feel sad as he changed and was no longer my little baby boy, but watching him learn and grow and getting to know the big, fun personality that is bursting out is nothing I would trade. I wouldn't even trade it for that fuzzy little baby boy from two years ago.

Trevor had a Cars birthday cake/party with his Houston cousins/family and Grandma Jones. We also went out for a little birthday lunch at Chick-fil-A.


Trevor loves the computer and Grandma Jones got him his very own! He can't figure out most of the games yet, but he just likes to hear it say "Try Again!"


Thanks to Grandma Lee Lee for the Lego Wagon (wink, wink!). We're all about building towers and tunnels around here.

Christmas Fun

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas-time. We had almost all the Jones clan here in Houston for a really fun Christmas. Trevor loves his cousins and aunts and uncles. My mom made Trevor those cute BYU jams, they're awesome! One of Trevor's favorite toys was the Mac truck that Grandma Jones gave him. He plays for hours and loves Mac!



Also, here's a picture for Mom and Andrea of the Christmas tree. For some reason, I didn't take one after I added the tree skirt, etc. So, next year, eh?
