Bellagio Gardens

I thought it would be REALLY fun to take Trey to see the flowers, water, lights, and such at the Bellagio.... turned out just to be STRESSFUL. I think I was mostly stressed because I wanted to get some cute pictures, but that didn't happen. I was so focused on taking pictures and trying to get the kids to cooperate, that I didn't get to enjoy being a mom and watch my son have have a blast running around and seeing all the things there! (Which is why I wanted to go in the first place, cause I thought Trey would like it.)


Family trip to the Bellagio

Mostly consisted of everyone trying to chase down TREY...

Many attempts at pictures... most of which were unsuccessful!

After trying to climb OVER the little fence, and THROUGH the flowers to get to the train, Trey had a major meltdown!!! But nothing that the sliding, slipping, and falling penguins couldn't fix! :)

This is how most pictures turned out... Trey mad that we made him sit down, and Alexa annoyed that she had to stop danceing and sit down for a picture with a 18 month old who can't just quickly sit and smile long enough for someone to snap a picture!

Finally bribed him with a fruit twist rope treat!

Trey loves his Papa, and the GIANT aloon (balloon)!

Santa's Little Helper!

December Picture overload!

Attempt at taking family pictures.....

Love my boys!

Trey is ALWAYS on the move!!!!

He also has a love for high-heels!

Helping decorate the tree!

Snowman pancakes!!! YUMMMMM.....

First 'official' day in nursery (although, he's been going since October)

Very proud of himself for figuring out how to turn on the SportsCenter ornament!

Decorating christmas cookies at Grandma and Grandpa Scarlett's...

Or, just eating the frosting!

feeling neglectful....

You know how they say 'your first child gets spoiled and has TONS of pictures, then each kid after that has less and less...' Well I am already feeling that way with number 2 on the way. With Trey, I took a picture each month (starting at 16 weeks). This one... I had the best of intentions, but just never got around to it! I really even wanted to take a special picture at 16 weeks, cause that same week Trey was 16 months... I thought it would be really cute.... Anyway, it never happened, so at 18 weeks I finally got around to snapping some pictures!


18 Weeks


Trey's 'face'

I am now 22 weeks.... and a couple of weeks ago, we found out that it's another BOY! I couldn't be more excited for Trey to have a little buddy to follow him around (or maybe I'm just crazy!) Will is really excited, too! He can't wait to coach them in sports and is pumped up that that will be able to play on the same teams (sometimes).

22 Weeks

Trey's baby and Mommy's baby
We asked Trey "Where's the baby?" and he lifted up his shirt...

Then we specified... Mommy's baby... so he pointed (I'm surprised he didn't lift up my shirt too!)

Giving the baby kisses... or maybe about to bite him!!!

OOOPS.... I think he missed my big belly :)


Trey's first candycane... he was not a fan!
