Egg Hunt in Petal, MS

The boys enjoyed the Petal Easter Egg hunt, despite the wind and rain. They both filled their buckets as full as they could. On the way home they both said, "That was fun!"

This is what Trenton won for finding a GOLDEN Egg. Way to Go Trenton!

Easter Bunny Cake

We have made an Easter Buny Cake for several years and here is this years model.

The boys had fun.

Trenton decorated the left side and Dalton decorated the right side.

Leslie's Catch of the Day!

We went fishing today and I caught one!!!

Our visit to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center in Gulf Port, MS

Today we took the boys to a Discovery Museum in Gulf Port, MS, about 1.5 hours South. It was an amazing day. You will see some of the exciting things we did but I only captured about half of the museum on photos. We will go back again real soon.

We had so much fun flying to Mexico, riding a train from Jackson, MS to New Orleans, LA, shopping in the Winn Dixie Grocery Store, crabbing in the Gulf of Mexico, getting our shoes shined, and lastly climbing in tree forts outside. What a great day!

Climbing to the top

This was the kids way to the top of the center. It was a lot of fun winding your way to the top.

GET YOUR SHOES SHINED!

Trenton didn't waste any time. In fact, I had to ask to get both shoes shined.

I love the way Dalton just makes his self at home on the bench.

Pull your own body weight

Dalton made it to the top Trenton had a tougher time.

Canoeing in Gulf Port

This was funny. The boys sat in a canoe and it projected the image to make it look like they were going down a river.

Crab fishing

Dalton cast the net and Trenton grabbed the crab.

Dalton's catch of the Day!

We've got ourselves a fisherman! Dalton was so proud of his fish. He caught two large mouth bass and two crappie. Way to go Dalton!!!

Trenton's first fish!

Oh! How fast they grow...Dave and Trenton went fishing on Jan 28 and Trenton caught his first large mouth bass. He cast his line, and reeled it in before Dave knew what was going on. Trenton is so proud and is still talking about it today.

My "Treasure" Chest

I need to add Christmas photos but haven't gotten around to it yet. I will try to get to it tomorrow. I have to blog this because it's so precious. Last night I was cutting Trenton's hair and he said, "Mom, I need an X cut in my hair. Just leave an X, please." "An X? Why do you want an X on your head?" "Because I am "Treasure!" I have been blessed with the biggest "TREASURE" chest of all.

Lowe's Children's Clinic

This month, we have been attending Lowe's Children's Clinics. They are tons of fun and best of all...they are FREE! The boys really enjoy themselves and I love to see their creativity. When you attend a clinic, the kids receive a kids size Lowe's apron, goggles, and a patch for that workshop. Here are a few photos from the ornament clinic.

A Tervin Tradition!

Each year we begin by putting up the tree Thanksgiving weekend, decorating the outside of the house with white lights, putting up the family Christmas village, and lastly and most importantly setting up the nativity.

We also try to pick out an ornament for each person that represents something that reflects the year past. This year, the three men got fishing ornaments. I have not found a "special" ornament yet but I am on the hunt.

Our new tradition this year is started a "memories" tree that holds all of our ornaments from all of the places we have been. I love it! It means so much to us to be able to look at it and reminisce about our travels.

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas season celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. We will be celebrating with family in Petal, MS. We are very blessed this year. Dave's mom and dad, and hopefully two brothers will be joining us to celebrate Christmas, along with my mom and maybe Aunt, Uncle, and cousins for Christmas dinner. I am starting to plan my meal today.

I can't believe it's already December. Where has the year gone. As I clicked on my blog today, I realized that I haven't updated since Trenton's birthday in Oct. Wow! I will try to post more often in the new year. Honestly, I don't get on the computer as much as I did in Korea.

This picture of the boys was taken Saturday morning as we waited for the Hattiesburg Christmas Parade to begin. We had a fun day beginning with a kid's clinic at Lowe's building Gingerbread houses. Then off to the parade. Lastly, we finished up our day watching the SEC ball game. That was a waste of time but what can you do.

Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from

The Tervin's: Dave, Leslie, Dalton, Trenton, and Caimen

Trenton turns 4!

All Trenton wanted was an army guy cake. That was easy! Dalton gave Trenton a container full of dinosaurs and a train to go along with his new train track set.

WHAT? A NEW BIKE! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!

Needless to say, Trenton was so very happy to get a new bike. It's a 16 inch "rocket" bike and yes. He rides without training wheels. He has been asking for a bike since we were in Korea. I got him a used bike a few months back knowing for his birthday he would get a "new" bike. I love you Trenton. You are such a joy in my life.

Dressing Up!

A warrior and a dinosaur Superman and Batman, thank goodness you showed up!
