Kevin Costner up close and personal

On November 8th 2007 I went to see Kevin Costner at the "Rays" baseball reveal in Straub Park. The band was awesome..I took a million pictures and made a bunch of videos.
Here is another picture



At the end of the concert he came over to sign an autograph and i reached out and he touched my hand YEA! This is one of those things i can cross off my life list, I have met Kevin Costner in person>>>>

Cousins

This is the most recent picture of Kierian, Trevor and Aubriel. I really hope they grow up close like we did with our cousins.


and some funny faces too.

Trevor's alleric reaction

Trevor woke up on 11/2 with a mosquito bite reaction on his cheek that had spread to his eye.


I took him to the Mease Countryside E.R at around 7am. Then we waited for a doctor to see him


The nurse put in an I.V so they could give him Benedryl and steroids to help with the reaction near his eye. This was an aweful experience i wish upon no mother.


So now Trevor is on Antibiotics for 7 days and Daddy's not here he went to the Bahama's for the weekend....

Trevor's 3rd Halloween

Trevor dressed up as a pirate and here he is wielding his sword



He laid down in the grass and i snapped this pic



Then the grim reaper kid came by and Trevor got scared..he wouldn't let dada go



We had fun...

Pumpkin Festival 2007

We took Trevor to the pumpkin festival in Bradenton on Sunday Oct 28 2007. He pet some animals, ate some pizza, and went down a giant slide all by himself. We went to the Walker bros. circus act, which was pretty cool. After the festival fun we took Trevor to a pumkin patch to pick out a pumpkin..he liked the ones he could carry, not the big ones.

Planning Trevor's 2nd bday party

Well we are in the midst of planning a birthday party for a 2 year old. This will be an event i'm sure...


we are trying to plan for good food, fun with water, karoke, poker, and whatever else happens. Should be a good time for all...

Work today

Today was the 1st day back from the Holiday weekend. It was a little slow at work but ok. Trevor is recognizing people in pictures and it's so much fun.

Tonight i showed him this one, and asked who is this?


to which he replied "GJ" just as clear as day

then i showed him more, like this one, and i again asked who is this?


to which he replied "Gamma"

He already points out me and Bill and Robbie so now i'm working on him learning everyone else....

Aquarium

Today we took Trevor to the Florida Aquarium. He had a good time. I posted some pics below of the day. He got to pet stingrays, see sharks up close and went for his first ride on a boat. It was a fun day.
