- This boy loves the outdoors! Camping, hiking, river rafting, spelunking, backpacking - you name it, he loves it. I think his favorite part about it is the cooking, dutch oven style! Yumm! He's really good at cooking dutch oven and he enjoys it but I think he enjoys eating it the most. One thing he hasn't experienced yet is boating so we hope to go this summer before we take off to an unknown land...
- Trey has an excellent memory. He can watch a movie once and start quoting full paragraphs from it! It baffles the mind! And he likes to do the voices too which makes it even better(we are big movie/tv quoters). His memory helps him do well in school and on tests especially. After he looks over his notes a few times he can picture his notes in his head and read through them to find answers! Can you believe that?!? Yeah...hopefully the kids inherit that gift!
- He LOVES music. And it's not just Indie Rock that he loves, he's also a big fan of funk, motown, 80s new wave, and one of his favorite artists is...Stevie Wonder!!! Bet you didn't guess that one! Yeah, when he told me that one day I was like "Huh?" I totally thought he was joking. Oh and he is also a fan of a certain musical that Donny Osmond stars in "...go go go Joseph you know what they say..." Yes, he loves the music from Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! Trey loves to rock out on his drums and have his friends come over and jam with him. He's sad that he'll have to get rid of his drums when we go to med school but is excited to pick up a new, more compact and not so loud instrument, the guitar.
- He is just a big kid. If you think I was joking on our blog title of saying that we are two 5-year-olds trapped in 23-year-old bodies, you are sorely mistaken! We always joke with people that ask us when we are going to have kids that I already have one and he is quite a handful! He loves to make up funny little songs and names for me. He loves to play with fire and fireworks and make things explode. He loves when the nieces and nephews come over for playtime. He'll turn on the music and dance with them, play nintendo, build forts, and wrestle. He's really good at giving me the puppy dog eyes and it usually gets him what he wants because how do I say no to that? When it's just me and him hanging out, a lot of the times we just say "if anyone saw us right now they would think we were the craziest people on earth!" We have alot of fun though and he always makes me laugh. He is also very ticklish which makes life more fun for me. He has a very distinct giggle that comes out only when he gets tickled and it kills me, I love it!!!
- He should have been born in the 60s. Seriously. This kid loves everything about the 60s-70s era - the culture, tv shows, music and especially the clothes. He currently owns a Napoleon Dynamite suit and wears it proudly to church. He loves going to the local thrift stores and finding treasures, especially retro clothes. He always gravitates to the sports jackets, suits and ties. What can I say, my man likes to look classy. He's got so many retro ties, I don't think he will ever part with any of them. He also has quite the obsession with jackets(any kind) and shoes.
- He is my little handyman. It's nice that he enjoys fixing things around the house. Growing up with a dad that did construction, I think that love of building and repairing things rubbed off on him. Trey's dad would always take him to do jobs with him. Trey built our entertainment center we have now. His latest project he just finished was putting up drywall at a professor's house. He likes the physical labor, it's a nice contrast from studying.
Well that is my husband in a nutshell...but there is really so much more to him, that's only scratching the surface. Everyday is always an adventure with Trey. Love you honey!

Enjoyed reading your six things about Trey. Some we knew, some not. We knew he had a good memory but didn't know how much. That is definitely a gift! And was not aware of some of his tastes in music. Have we heard that special giggle? Good job on your post, Michelle. Enjoyed the pics, too.
We love our little hambone!
Very fun to read! Can't wait to have you out here to play with the girls and Nate. We are sure hoping!!!
Michelle you are too funny! I love that Trey is a retro man! My favorite comment you made was "What can I say? My man likes to look classy!" We seriously need to play sometime!
You will LOVE his "Handyman"-ness your whole life!...I'm not sure I knew that, but that's awesome cuz things always break or make weird noises & it's nice to fix it right VS. using duck tape, jimmy rigging, or stuffing magazines in between to stop the mysterious shaking!
By the way - who or what is "hambone" and what does it mean?!?
Hambone stems from one of family home evenings at the Brenchley home. I asked Mike to pass me some ham, and for some reason he thought I said Hambone. It's been a running joke between us for quite a while now. We try to place the nickname on each other every chance we can get. I think he deserves it because he obviously had Hambone on his mind and wanted to gnaw on the thing. Ahhh, inside jokes are ALWAYS the best.
Michelle!! I'm so glad you have a blog. I love your pictures. Looks like you and Trey are doing well. Keep the fun stuff coming :0)
