Some may never believe that I am actually starting a blog. I've fought it for years for various reasons but I have finally given in. I want mostly grandma's and grandpa's to feel connected to my sweet kids, and for memories to be saved. Right now this seems like the best way to do that. I think my biggest fear has been if I start a blog it will be one more thing on my mostly undone list of things to do. I already can't fit it all in to a day, how could I add more. But I've concluded that something is better than nothing and I can at least try. I find I'm really needing to change my way of thinking in that way. I want to be able to do it all, or not at all. For example I want to wash all the windows, or I don't wash any. I want to put in a full hour of exercise, or I don't exercise at all. I want to complete a task and wait for time to do that... and that time never comes. I have to learn to do something, a little, part of it, start it, etc. So here goes my best effort at a blog. It's only for those I love the very most. I don't want it to be public, just a private little thing for family, and mostly to document my incredible kids who can have this to look back on.

     I love you...  Mom

This was Trevin's favorite birthday present. At least I hope he thinks so in about 20 years.  We all can't believe he is one. He has packed in so much happiness for us into that year. 

Following in his 3 brothers footsteps, Trevin LOVES balls. Next to "Daddin" it  was one of his first and frequently spoken words. Most days are filled with a lot of talk and play with balls. He was a bit intimidated by the football cake. He didn't dig right in, but after he finally stuck in a few fingers, he kindly shared it with the kids.

Trevin went around the house on the eve of his birthday with one little finger in the air and when prompted with how old are you would say, "one,one,one,one,one." Of course he wouldn't do it for the camera, but it was so cute.  Can't believe he's one. Wish I could stop the growth right now.
