Nap time

This is what I found on the camera (that I accidently left downstairs) after "nap time" yesterday...

Bowling Party

We are so thankful for our "Wednesday Church" family.  There is a church just 2 miles up the road from our home and they have excellent children's programming.  Last week was the last week for the school year so they had a bowling party.  Rhett and Leah had never been bowling before and they LOVED it.
Rhett had interesting form: run up and chuck it.  It worked pretty well!
When it was Leah's turn, everyone had time to lie down and wait for her ball to make it all the way down the lane.
They bowled with their friends Brady and Brock.  Not bad for their first time!

Rhett & Trey's bday 2012, a set on Flickr.

We had a fun few days celebrating the boys' birthdays. Rhett had been counting down since he turned the calendar from February to March. Trey was content and happy as he is everyday. Rhett had kindergarten screening the morning of his birthday, took treats to school, and had program at school that night. We ate supper and ice cream at Braums before his program to celebrate. We had their party at Big Papa's and Grandma Sauce's house on Saturday and all the cousins were there. CRAZY! Rhett had been certain since Trey was born that they would have a McQueen and Mater cake for this birthday. We so enjoy both our boys. They are completely different and wonderful. Love you Rhett & Trey!

Out of the mouths of babes

Just a few tidbits from the weekend:

Rhett: Momma, God has a mustache. I saw it in the burning bush when Moses was talking to him. He has a mustache like Moses.

Leah (after I replaced the toilet paper roll for her): Thanks, Mom. You saved my life.

Rhett (after seeing a Bud Light commercial on TV): We make beer at school all the time. Cowboys drink it. Luke and I make beer all the time.

Trey: Na na na na na na na na na na. Da da da da da da da da da.

What a difference a year makes!

Well, a year ago today, this is what I was doing... Just Hanging Out. We are headed to Ben's first round sub-state game in a bit, so I can't help but remember what happened at that game last year. The beginning of the journey we call Trey Rixey!

Look at him now!

Rub the beat!


IMG_0225 a video by wertfamily on Flickr.

I posted this video on Facebook a few days ago. Unfortunately, Papa and Gigi were not able to view it. What a shame! It's too good not to post here too. Enjoy!

Leah likes to watch the Fresh Beat Band on Nick Jr. "Twist" is name of the DJ in the band. I am assuming that is the inspiration for Leah's performance, but really... who knows!

My sister says it has been too long since our last blog post...

And she's right. But I do have a few good excuses.
1. We are in the middle of basketball season (only one loss so far and just a few short weeks until the post-season).
2. I have started work on my transitional doctorate of physical therapy. Classes are online but my evenings have been spent reading 3 textbooks on health policy. Boring!

But here's what the kids have been up to:
Rhett is still loving school and counting down the days until his and Trey's birthday (27 days!). He has been taking advantage of the nice weather to learn how to ride his bike. He only needs a little help to get started and then he's off to go wherever he wants. He is reading 1st grade books from the school library and likes to read to Leah and Trey.

Leah can hardly wait for her turn to go to school. She loves to work on projects at home and is starting to write her name really well and can color in the lines better than her big brother. She MUST wear a dress or skirt to Daddy's games so she can cheer and dance for the Lady Broncos. Trey continues to get lots of love from his big sister.

Trey was 11 months old on Wednesday! I can't believe it has almost been a year since we spent 20 days at Wesley waiting for Trey to arrive and then waiting for him to come home. I am almost done with his first haircut. Yes, it has taken me 2 days, but Ben hasn't been home much this week so I have had to wrestle and cut by myself. Hopefully Trey will let me finish before Daddy's game tonight! He is cruising everywhere and getting into everything. I had to move the trash can yesterday... He continues to be easy-going but certainly has found his voice for those times he wants to get our attention. He has 2 teeth but 3 more are on their way. He eats ANYTHING and thankfully, has started to use a sippy (this took much longer than I anticipated).

Hope you enjoy the slide show!
