Here is the mini update about Treyner's visit with pics for those who asked!
I picked him up from the airport and had dropped the other 2 off at Mall of America under the guise that I had business to deal with and surprise them that he was in town because I had not told them.
Treyner and my plan was to have Carsyn and Baylor stand in a store that has loads of Sponge Bob characters and take pics for our Christmas card. Treyner would come behind them and get in the pic and then put his arms around them to surprise them.
I called the younger ones and arranged a place to meet saying I was back from my business deal. As soon as I saw Carsyn I knew she knew!
She was laughing and giggling and her eyes were shiny. Baylor looked like he had swallowed a Cheshire cat and had the biggest grin. I asked them as non-challant as I could, "What's so funny?"
Carsyn said, "What are you hiding?"
I asked her what could I possibly be hiding?
"My brother," she said all proud.
I tell her I have no clue what she is talking about.
She tells me she saw on facebook this morning Treyner's roomate at 1 am said he had to get up at 4 am to take Treyner to the airport.
Frickin Facebook!
I tried to budge that around the fact he is traveling to SC in a few weeks and told her he was going early.
I looked at Baylor and he was just grinning and saying he did not know what to believe.
So I took them over to the Nickelodeon store and Baylor agreed to take some pictures while Carsyn sure she was right, looked all over for Treyner.
She finally agreed to get into the picture and Treyner with sunglasses on came around from the back of the store.
She saw him and that was it! She starts crying, he starts hugging both of them and Baylor is wiping more tears from his eyes than I thought possible. I think Treyner was taken aback at how old he was looking in just 2 1/2 months and how much they both adore him.
This picture was taken just moments after and Baylor has never had a more genuine, happy smile. I think I will use this for holiday cards this year.
I had a friend who had given me unlimited ride wristbands for the indoor amusement park there so the kids spent the next few hours on rides and just enjoying the heck out of each other.
This ride is like Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story without the greatness of Disney.
I love this pic because it is so my kids. Treyner asked Carsyn if she wanted to see how strong his hands had gotten. She said sure and he play slapped her on the forehead. (I found this out after because I was asking them to look my way and all of a sudden the boys were laughing at her and she was holding her head. Don't feel bad for her - she gave him a dead leg ten seconds later.
)
Baylor seems to be looking more mature lately.
Brothers
Carsyn trying to act like she does not belong to the boys...
This ride is like a huge skateboard that twirls you and shoots you back and forth on a big ramp.
Baylor tried to see if he could reach as far as Treyner and Carsyn offered to give him a boost!
Then it was bumper cars and my kids being overly competitive decided they would manually push their cars into position to have the best take off and smash while everyone normal was just happy to sit and get buckled in.
Treyner did not think out the process of what the floor would do to his hands!
Then my niece Skyler came!
We left the mall about 7 p.m. went home and had a nice night. Next day was Skyler's birthday and then the kids stayed with Chad and he took Treyner to the airport at 4a.m. to head back to Colorado.
I just ate popcorn which is not a good sign. I don't love popcorn (cover your ears Liz. 
That is totally classic Disney. First the "boy fairies" then never been on CoP. I don't think I can take much more. 
I have more I want to say...but I need to go back and reread one of your previous posts - I'll have to catch up with that a little later.
Have an awesome time!
All that fun stuff is so addictive! What did you end up buying?
