Great Truett Videos from this past week.

We got to go to the pool this week and the boys had a blast. David especially. Truett is now asking to play in the water everyday.


Probably one of my favorite videos. Truett playing with the Smith kids, some of his best buds this past year. Obviously wrestle mania is just part of their make-up as boys.


This was this evening on the way to dinner. Daddy and Truett breaking it down and I was so thankful to catch it on video (praise iphone). I love moments like these.


Truett adores his Grandpa and Grandma Stringer, you can see it on his face, but then he crash and burns. OOPS

Truett Videos

Here are some up-to-date videos of Truett. They will probably be very boring to you, but anything this kid does puts a smile on our faces.



This was a first. We have this extremely pointless balcony on our apartment. Pretty much during the nicer weather months we use the door as a large window and open it. Well, it was raining this day and Truett decided to go out on the balcony. He was pretty shocked by what he found. He really started to enjoy it though and it was hard to get him back inside. Pretty funny too the music in the background is from the tv. Truett had been watching Signing Time, one of his favorites. Fitting song.


Truett all of a sudden got all crazy on us when he saw daddy trying to get skype working. He loves talking to family on skype. This night we were talking to Uncle Andy and Aunt Caitlin and he was crazier than ever.


Here is a video from Easter morning. It was so fun having him wake up to his Easter basket. I really wanted to hide eggs around the house because that is what my mom did when I was little, but I didn't think we would have time before church. Maybe we'll tweek our traditions next year. He got an Easter box in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Stringer too so I had that stuff out for him. He loved it all as you can tell.

Truett's favorites shows are Signing Time, Mickey Mouse, Handy Manny, and occasionally Elmo. Anything with them in it he is all over. I think in that order too. We got Truett a bunch of Signing time books and music cds because we get the dvds all the time from the Library. It is nice now to have some non tv stuff for him that he loves.

Late Updates: Jan visit from Aunt Heidi

In January of this year, Heidi came to visit us in KY. This would be her last visit to Louisville (at least to see us) because we are graduating in May. WOOOHOOO!!! It was a lot of fun. I had just found out that I was pregnant and struggling through the first trimester sickness, but Heidi (as always) was a trooper. She soaked up all her time with Truett.

On this day I am pretty sure that Heidi read every single book that Truett owns. They both loved it. Truett still loves books and can sit in your lap for hours reading them.
Josh taking a turn down the big hill. This hill is a haul so you only do it so many times before you are exhausted from climbing it.
Heidi (carring Truett), Josh, and Zoe coming up the hill. Heidi and Truett just took their first trip down the hill. Way to go Heidi. She was nervous. She did great. Heidi had hoped that the snow would still be around when she arrived from Florida, and boy did it. I think we even got some more.
This guy is so handsome. This is a Christmas Story moment.
Thank you Aunt Heidi for coming to visit us. We were sure glad you did.

New Truett Video

This is a new video from this week of him falling asleep at the table. I skipped his nap this day and it proved he is not ready to go without a nap still. He is too darn cute.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma

Last night Truett opened a present that came in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Stringer. He loves it. We always read books before bed and this is the one he wanted last night and then this morning he read it to his buddy David. This is one of the coolest gift ideas.

Truett Videos: Coloring

Truett was coloring, but then it turned into this game of pick up. He is so stinking cute.

Truett Videos: Playground on Vacation

These are great videos of when we went on family vacation at the park. Truett loves to play at the park, can you tell?

Truett Videos: Roller Coaster Daddy

This was in October when we went on our family vacation. Truett loves this game.

Truett Video: Halloween Videos

These are some really cute videos of Halloween.



This is a good one after we got back and he dumped all his candy out because he saw the Godshall kids doing the same thing. He just kept putting them all back in his pumpkin bucket. So cute!!!





Earlier that day we went to a birthday party for one of Truett's girlfriends, Mady.

Truett Videos: Bad Parenting

We are probably bad parents for teasing our kid like this. It was hilarious. Truett kept hitting daddy with this wooden spoon. It made me laugh so hard because I didn't think he knew what he was doing at first, but daddy wasn't a huge fan. We had to put a stop to it and I had to control myself.

Shana's Update: 1st year scrapbook

This is the scrapbook I made online for Truett's first year. I apologize if there are a few errors in this one. I accidentally named 2 revisions the same so I am not sure which was is the revised one. I hope you enjoy it. I love it. We got it printed out, it is pretty long though 68 pages. But 68 pages of heaven :)

Truett Video: Probably one of my favorites so far.

This video just makes my heart melt. He is getting so big.

Truett Videos: First Birthday part 2

On Truett's actual birthday we were home here in Louisville. We had wanted to get him a toy like this, so I found one on sale at Babies R Us and we went and got it to put it together for him. He loves this thing still.

Truett Videos: First Birthday part 3

This is a long video. This is how we celebrated Truett's birthday at home in Louisville on the actual date. We love this guy a bunch.

Truett Videos: First Birthday

Here are some really great videos from Truett's Birthday Party.

Shana's Update: SBTS Fall Festival 2010

This years fall festival was over the top. It really was a lot of fun. I think we enjoyed it way more having Truett this time. Last year Truett was only a month old, but I still remember going just for some free food. They kicked it off with these skydivers. Way cool. There was so much free food it was really awesome. They also had a bunch of cool rides and different themed areas. I definitely thought it was probably one of the best years.

You see two families sliding down. First you see Josh climbing up with Truett. Then Cassidy Smith and Tristen coming down. This is a new friend of mine that has moved into Grinstead. Then Josh and Truett come down. So cute.

I think it was pretty late in the night when we attempted this. He wasn't really excited about it when we were standing there waiting for the ride to get started, but once it started he came around. It was fun.

This was a first. That is right I am riding a mechanical bull. I thought it would have been fun and it was, but I left with an injury that I didn't expect. Truett cried when the bull threw me off, I think that was supposed to be sweet.

Truett Video: Gotta love the laugh

Here is a great video when we were home in August. One of my best friends Heidi came up for Truett's birthday. As you can see he loves her, but it also helps she is making him laugh pretty hard.

Truett Videos:Brmm Brmm

In August he started making this sound when he played with toys. SO ADORABLE!!

Shana's Update: Family photos.

We got family photos done in June.

Shana's Update: Other photos from visit to GA.

Our first Sunday home for Truett and Josh's birthday week, we went to hang out with all the girls in my old small group at Maggie's parents house after church. We had so much fun hanging out at the pool and just being silly for hours. We did a lot of silly stuff that we swore not to post pictures or videos of. OOO so tempting. o well.
