Trey 2 1/2

Trey turned 2 1/2 on the 16th of September! I cannot believe our little guy has been in our lives for LESS THAN 1,000 days...912.5 days to be exact. Trey you have changed our lives in more than 1,000 ways. 
Daddy and I were listening to music one night and a song came on by Guy Clark( Mommy had never even heard of him until then :)). The song was called "The Cape" and Daddy just said, "This is the song I want played at Trey's Wedding. This is what I want him to always remember no matter how old he gets or what life throws his way"...I didn't really get it until i went home and read the lyrics and then, well, I cried. 
Trey, we hope you always wear your "cape" and never forget that you can be/do whatever it is that sets your heart on fire and stirs a passion in you: YOU CAN FLY...just always take that leap of faith! Lots of love on your 2 1/2 Birthday. Mommy + Daddy.

Here is my first attempt at making our home movies set to music. I'm sure they will get better with practice.Click on the word HERE below to view. Its longer than I meant it to be and kinda "slow" so it may be enjoyable for people like Grandparents and my sister :)

Here are the words to the song by Guy Clark, The Cape:
The Cape

Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin’ what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin’ start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground

Chorus
He’s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold you breath
Always trust your cape

All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
He’s full of piss and vinegar
He’s bustin’ at the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
It’s gonna be do or die
He wasn’t scared of nothin’, Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly

Chorus

Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He’s still jumpin’ off the garage
And will be till he’s dead
All these years the people said
He’s actin’ like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Chorus

Caroline Babbling...

This was taken of Caroline at 4 weeks! She is either babbling or gagging on spit up, its hard to tell :) She also toots at the beginning which is currently her signature trade mark, she toots all the time and i mean loud! I am attempting to use my inside voice and whisper, but for me that seems to be easier said than done!

The House that Trey Built

Trey may decide to grow up and be none of these, however, if i were going to guess at 2YR what he would be as an adult its either a Veternarian or a Builder/Architect! He is always with animals, playing animals, talking about animals or pretending to be building/drawing/creating something. this was so cute! I told me sister in laws since we weren't invited to live in the house we 6 would just go on a long vacation :)

Trey's Marching Band

Just in case our lake neighbors weren't awake yet....at 7am :)

Trey

Trey's first day of school and his backpack is already weighing him down :)

Ella + Trey

Such a cute video of Ella, Trey + Daddy building a house for Lion from Library Lion, Trey's absolute favorite book. Everyone has an idea and Trey's is "perfect"...I dont know where he learned this from..this "perfect" thing bc i am certainly not a perfectionist.

Trey's School Note

Trey's first weeks in school have been great! We couldn't be happier. We fill out a daily report in the morning on the top of this paper and they complete the bottom at the end of the day. I was so excited to see that Trey was being a good "sharer" as that is one of his goals we are working diligently on at home :) YEA for TREY!

Trey + Caroline

Trey and Caroline look alike at this age but are certainly different! They have the same head shape, but different eyes, same chubby cheeks, but different mouths and eyebrows and baby girl is has a little more "chub to love" than her brother did at this age!

Caroline 10 Weeks

sleeping peacefully on the oh so soft bunny from Aunt Deena

 these two photos, above/below are my favorite of Miss CEC at 10 weeks :)

at 10 weeks Caroline is so much fun! she is a happy baby, unless she has gas or needs to poop which luckily, the gas issues, happens less and less often. She is my roly poly girl and i can't get enough of it. She is def a good eater and sleeper.  Right now she is waking once in the night about 430 for a feeding and then back to bed until 730 :)She smiles all the time and has truly stolen our hearts. it is so interesting how every baby is different! Caroline is reaching for things and holding her head up! I love her so very much. She loves watching her brother, and tracks him wherever he is! She is the most laidback, easygoing baby this family has ever known :) She is a smily, happy baby,  and  I am blessed beyond measure for both my children.

Taken on the morning of Thursday Sept 15 2011

I have not bought one single item for this baby girl! between gifts and her BFF Annabelle's Hand me Downs we haven't needed a thing. Thank you, Annabelle for ALL the fabulous clothes you keep sending our way. Makes it nice that the girls are 4 months apart for hand me down purposes :)

Michael Spotlight

as i was looking for some other photos to post, i came across these that i had taken right when the magazine article came out way back in MARCH or was it MAY I can't recall. Anyhow, I wanted to document this as it was a huge honor for Michael to be called upon and asked to be interviewed. There were only about 4 others interviewed as well, and Michael was by far the YOUNGEST and the only Midstream/Energy related person asked to be interviewed from CITI, Including people in NY.

He works so hard and he truly is passionate about his job. On top of that he is damn good at it too :)

The bottom two pages are his interview and responses! I am so proud of you, babe!

Ashley's Wine Weekend: Part 2

Cheers to the Future Mrs. Morrow! Love you, Duster and can't wait to celebrate your wedding!


Great Gift from Meagan: says "Mrs. Morrow" and she can hang her wedding dress on it the day of the wedding. Will make a great photo prop :) Love Mom's smile as she looks on....

wouldn't be a lingerie shower without Ashley doing the Tech Fight Song: Her inner Tech Cheerleader came out :)

I sent Myron some questions and his cousin video taped him! I love ashley's smile here as she is watching him. It was a huge hit!! and the video will make an awesome keepsake for those two.
