2015 :: 14/52

still a chilly week, so we didn't get out for our walks, but did play outside a little bit. we ran some errands and played at the neighb's house, but otherwise an uneventful week for us. Al on the other hand, had a busy early part of the week. he had to take a tb test for coaching on Monday, Tuesday was his post licensing test for Minnesota, and reading of his tb test on Wednesday in addition to coaching and working each day.

Wednesday, on the 1 year anniversary of us losing auntie diane, we received word that Al's best friend Shane's dad passed away from cancer. it came on so quick and we're really gonna miss Bobby L!! he was a great dad, grandpa and guy; we loved when he was around. he came to every football game Shane (and Al) played in and cheered the loudest! and we got to see him occasionally at shane and Jodi's house. april 8th is not a good day for us.

so bright and early Saturday morning we loaded up and drove to new ulm for the funeral. we picked up mom on the way and stopped to get Al's dress clothes that he had forgotten at Shane & Jodi's house. we made it by 10 for the 2nd half of the visitation, the ceremony, the cemetery, and the luncheon. it was a hard day, but we wouldn't have missed it. Trevor did great and the old ladies in charge of the luncheon loved him. Beeker was in the car the whole time and did good until we left him again for the luncheon; he then chewed completely through one of the seat belts in the explorer....

sunday we played outside at mom's house and then after lunch, mom, Trevor and I went shopping. we went to a once upon a child sale and got 68 pieces of clothing for Trevor for 22 cents a piece!! once we got home on sunday I put the clothes he could wear now in the wash. Monday morning I packed up the clothes that were too small for him and the heavy winter stuff and put away the new things. It was so nice to have a new variety of clothes to choose from as he's been wearing the same clothes for a couple months now. sunday evening after supper, we played outside for almost an hour with the neighb's; it was so nice to be outside. it was 70 both days the weekend but really windy.

he loves putting things on now;

dada's hat, mittens, socks, etc.

loves his piggy

pointing out the piggy's eyes,

he loves to point at eyes

we got him this $7 water station from shopko and he loved it.

even plays with it without the water in it. 

dada left a half full glass of water at the edge of the kitchen table and trevor got a hold of it. drenched his face and clothes. he cried until I couldn't stop laughing, then we was fine. 

blue eyes + elvis lip :)

big hands

singing hymn's at bobby's funeral

 we went through tyler's buckets of his old toys to see what trevor could play with and to organize them. Al liked going through the matchbox cars.

 santa claus

 my tulips are coming up!

I wasn't sure they would since they were cheap, we don't get a lot of sun, there is lots of water pooling here when it rains, and it's really sandy dirt. hopefully, they flower!

 grama got trevor a new outfit;

dada doesn't quite like it

 pulling around uncle tyler's train;

Trevor wasn't sure about the whole pulling behind him thing

some of his new clothes.

(I went through his 18 month bucket that we already had and pulled some things out of there too)

 I was going to pack away his playmat, but decided to set it up and see if he wanted to play with it. he did play with it a bit, and then we made a fort/tunnel.
