Up up and away!

Our friend Jayson was nice enough to take Trevor and John flying in his airplane this weekend. I'm blogging a bit blindly today, since I was not actually there... but John took pictures and filled me in. Trevor's main statement was "I go in Jayson's airplane!" over and over... though filled with excitement, it's not too descriptive. I told his aunt he was going to fly on an airplane this weekend and her response is, "Wait what did I miss, where is Trevor going?" The answer: "To Mojave for lunch."



















Jayson and Trevor doing the preflight check...
























Trevor had to wear little ear plugs for noise protection. I'm impressed that he kept them in the whole time.




















There was a fly-in at Mojave this Saturday, so there were a bunch of interesting airplanes to look at in addition to having lunch. Trevor had a grilled cheese sandwich and a fruit cup that had maybe five types of fruit including kiwi and strawberries. Trevor said it was yummy (though also claimed he had chicken soup but did not). John had a chicken sandwich and fries--both had a nice seasoning. John said they said they were good. Trevor got away with drinking two apple juices and "got poops" so John left a present for Burt Rattan in the trashcan at the entry of the Scaled Composites hanger.

Happy Birthday to John















John is now another year older. Trev and I made birthday cake (Trevor likes to help mostly by stiring and asking if it's time to lick the spoon yet) and we all went out for fajitas. We've learned that Trevor is maybe not the best secret keeper lately with the birthday stuff and Valentine's day. Example: John and Trevor are out running errands. As soon as they get home Trevor is smiling and tells me "I have a secret!". So I go ahead and ask what it is. Trevor still smiling exclaims "We got you a Valentines Card!" and then he all so seriously puts one finger up to his mouth and says "ssssshhhhhh... don't tell... it's a secret mommy".

He managed to not tell John what we got him until after dinner ("It's time to go open your present daddy! We got you a shirt!"). Then when we got home to open presents Trev was very helpful about, handing out one for each of us, just like at Christmas. He's pretty happy his birthday is next, though doesn't realize May is quite so far away.

Doublemint Twins

Okay... they're not very hard to tell apart, but as you could probably guess, I found it very exciting to dress Trev and Ryan in matching tops. When John saw them in the morning he mentioned "mommy must be taking pictures today". So there you go.

















"CHEESE!"















"Little smile"
























Trevor started his Kindergym class on Monday and he's showing of his new stretching moves. Except the only one he remembered was the 'seal stretch'... the kitty stretch he seems to be guessing... He really liked his first class--most notably the balance beam and spring board. I'm pretty thrilled that they started up again and Trev can have a special thing. ("Baby Ryan can't jump... he too little")
