How on earth can my cute little blonde boy be FOUR?! Time is flying by way too fast, and I often get teary eyed thinking about how fast my kids are growing up.
Trevor can still be summed up with one word...animals! He eats, breathes, and talks animals. Just today after Primary his new teacher came up to me after class and said she has never met someone his age with so much knowledge about animals. Pretty much if you talk to Trevor, you'd better be ready to carry on a conversation about gazelles, bush babies, meerkats, peacocks, Peregrine falcons, red squirrels, or let's face it, pretty much any animal that has ever existed. And if you try to change the subject, he won't allow it. Thank you, Wild Kratts (and Grandma Barton for his animal books that he quizzes me on everyday). Brynlee also feeds his animal addiction by checking out a library book just for him from school every week.
We celebrated on his birthday with a snake cake per his request. He got a new bike (that he will have to wait at least 4 months to ride, unless we have some amazingly, abnormally warm weather in good old Cache Valley before then) and Grandma Barton put together a scrapbook of his first four years.
Yeah, don't ask... (this is what happens when mom is taking pictures and dad is in charge of cutting the cake)
The day was just a little hectic and I had forgotten that his bike still needed to be put together. Rob wrapped the box up in an animal print blanket...hey, whatever works.
Handy dandy daddy had it put together in no time.
The next morning we left for Arizona to spend Christmas with my family. Maybe we should have brought his bike with us because it was plenty warm there...oh wait, there was no room. My sister, Mary Anne, was gracious enough to take fabulous pictures of my kids since my two attempts at getting a good picture of them in Logan for a Christmas card failed miserably (and sadly, it was because of the little stinker of whom this post is all about!) He was all smiles for Mary Anne, though. I guess he was more in his element in the grasslands as he pretended he was a cheetah stalking his prey. Looks like he caught it!
