A day in the life...

I love my life. I have an awesome husband and amazing kids. Cheyenne is finally mobile and does her best to keep up with Trevin. She just learned how to crawl up the stairs. She has even come down them a few times... unfortunately the hard way! Trevin loves Cheyenne and always encourages her to follow him. I hear "um on Cheyenne" all day long. They love playing together and actually get along pretty well. Trevin is introducing Cheyenne to the world of cars, tools and tractors. She has a baby doll but doesn't like to play with it. She would much rather sit and play with whatever Trevin playing with, AKA anything but the doll.
Cheyenne does love to go shopping. If she is sitting in a grocery cart or a stroller, she is happy. She loves any opportunity to get out of the house and explore the rest of the world. On the other hand Trevin is totally bored by shopping. This is usually what my cart looks like after a couple minutes in the grocery store...
Cheyenne thrilled about everything and Trevin DEAD ASLEEP! He usually stays that way until I wake him up to put him back in the truck.
Trevin and Cheyenne both love Daddy and get so excited to hear the garage door open, because they know that means Dad is home from work. Gage just introduced Trevin to burrito wraps and mummy tucks. Trevin loves to get burrito wrapped and thinks it is pretty fun to wrap Cheyenne, Dad and Mom up (whoever is a willing victim). I say victim because after you get someone in a tight burrito wrap the best thing to do is to tickle them.
Trevin asks for a "Bitto wrap" at least once a night!
There is one activity at our house that we try to keep an all boy activity, "DUKES!" I'm sure you can already guess what this is...boxing. Gage used to always tell Trevin to put his dukes up, which is why boxing is called Dukes at our house. It is pretty funny to watch. It usually starts right when Dad walks through the door. Trevin says "Dukes Up Dad" and the fight begins. They punch each other for a while then get really close and wrap their arms around each other to keep the other person from being able to punch them. The Trevin calls "break" and they both back up and get ready to go at it again. Trevin loves to yell "got you" or "I gettin you" if he thinks he is winning. Then when someone finally falls over they are "Fat." Trevin always leaves the "L" out of flat. I think they could play this game all night. It had to become an all boy game cause I caught Trevin playing dukes with Cheyenne one day, poor girl was totally helpless, and was definitely the one that ended up flat.
Trevin also loves to help keep dad in shape and always encourages weight lifting!I wonder why?
