Tyler turns 14!

Tyler is 14.  He kinda had a bummer of a birthday as he was sick the entire weekend.  He said he wanted a crab boil for his birthday and cheesecake.  We were all ready on his birthday, but he said he just didn't feel good enough.  So, we put it off a day.  But, on March 16th we had a crab boil and cheesecake.  His main gifts was that he is going to go to an Imagine Dragon's concert this summer.  He is really excited about that.  He also liked a guitar book from Mammy and Grandpop and a CD from them that shows off horns.  He plays the french horn and always likes to listen for it in music so it's a fun CD to listen to.  He is really a pretty sweet kid.  We are blessed to have him in our family.  Just can't believe how fast they are ALL growing up!

Trey will never be the same AGAIN

I will be the first to admit I HATE when kids start to lose their teeth.  I feel like it is the beginning of the end.  Meaning, they just start growing so fast, not to mention when the big teeth grow in they look kinda silly for a while.  But, everyone has to go through it.  It is Trey's turn.

Front tooth GONE--down the drain

Shortly after pulling his tooth out he sat down in the kitchen crying.  I asked him why and he said while he was trying to make it shiny he dropped it down the drain.  I assured him that if we wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy she could find it in the drain.  We wrote her a note and she left him some money.  She left it at the wrong drain though.  LOL.  When I asked Trey if he liked having a missing tooth he said, "No, because I look different."  He is pretty handsome still, but it did take a couple days to get use to.

Twin Day

Tyler and Trey...twin day.

Last month during Family Home Evening we were going around the room talking about the activities we had for the week.  Trey said that the following day was twin day at his school, but no one wanted to be his twin.  He said he didn't really care.  Then Tyler said, "I'll be your twin."  Trey's face lit up.  "Really?"  Tyler responded, "Yeah, you can say you are a twin with your older brother who is in middle school."  They then planned their outfits.  Jeans, a blue shirt and orange sweater.  A proud parenthood moment.  They didn't actually see each other till after school because Tyler and Kyle leave before Trey and Kory get up, but Trey was excited to see Tyler when he got home.

Kyle also went as a twin with Kory.  They picked out their outfits, but I didn't get a picture of them. They wore gray shorts, and their CSU football shirts.  Kory changed out of his gray shorts for before leaving however as it was super cold.  Kyle wears shorts everyday so the cold weather didn't phase him.

 I love that our boys have soft hearts.  We couldn't ask for better boys.
