Happy birthday (yesterday) to Brett. Can you believe he was ever this small, Tara? Even if he is just a Small 5. (I'll let you tell that story, Tara.)
He got some Chinese food for dinner and some cupcakes for dessert.
What a pose he did huh? He is most definitely 3. I love how their personalities show around this age.
Buzz Lightyear is a new favorite (again) around here. I really want to see the 3rd movie. I bet it's great.
He also got a dragon. He walks, flaps his wings, snaps, and growls. Teagan is snapping along with him.
One more year has come and gone. I'm getting so old. My baby is 3. When are they going to stop growing!?!?!?
It's Ashton's birthday
Trent's birthday was Thursaday. I still can't believe he's six! Holy cow! Where does the time go?
Tyler made this for him. It's a pencil holder. I don't think it will ever be used for it's intended purpose, but it's the thought that counts. It has a picture of Tyler holding Trenton when Trent was just a baby. Sorry it's turned. I guess I'm still not so good at this.
We decided to have a family party on Thursday since he was having a friend party on Sat.
Trent said that he wanted jell-o for dessert. So I went online and looked at recipes. I found one for a fish bowl. I thought it was a good idea. It didn't dawn on me what a brilliant idea it was until I put the candles on. It turned into a pirates ocean. YAY me!!!
I figured out how to do the timer on my camera. So I used it on Trent's big day.Teagan was counting with James how many times it blinked the red light. He was getting really excited with it. Hence this expression.
For the big party, I made skull cupcakes. I only have a 12 count cupcake pan, so the rest was just a little cake. I needed it though, that's where the candles went.
They had a treasure hunt too! Tyler made the clues. I think they had a pretty fun time. When they found the treasure, one of them asked if they got to keep it. Of course, it was the goody bags!
Then they got to hit the pinata. James was having a better time holding the pinata then the kids hitting it I think. He put it right on top of Trent's head. It was pretty funny. The stinkin thing was so tough that Tyler had to come and start hitting it without the blindfold. Needless to say, it took up plenty of time.
These are all the kids that came. 3 are from church, and 2 are from the neighborhood. They were all saying "Argh" for the picture. Gotta keep the pirate theme. All in all, I think Trenton had a pretty good time.
Tyler got to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his lunch. No pictures for that either. Sorry. I keep forgetting the camera. But, the boys had a great time. Then on the way home we stopped at a sporting goods store to get Tyler's big present...
... A beebee gun. He got to pick this or a new bike. Wow. That was a hard decision. Especially since he's already taken over Trentons bike that has no training wheels, and Trent won't ride it like that yet. It's too small for him, but he would not let us talk him into a bigger bike.
He got a pineapple upside down cake. He saw a pineapple in the store the other day and wanted to buy it, so I told him that we could make it into a cake. He really liked that idea. After the cake, he got to open his other presents. He got more bakugons and some bionicles. No pictures on that again. I tell ya, I stink.
I thought I'd just throw this picture in there. James and showing Tyler all about the beebee gun, and the other two were just as inthralled with it as Tyler was. I guess they're gonna get one for their 8th birthday also. All in all, it was a pretty good day.
This is Mom's new car. It's a Lexus SUV. Don't ask me what the model is. All I know is it's the gold one and it's fully loaded. Unfortunately, the battery is having some issues but it should be back on the road soon.
We got Mom a few things to put on her desk in her new private office. 
I love watching Mom laugh. Here she is opening her "pigsaw juzzle" from Dad. She had a minor slip of the tongue.
Dad also got her some new bears on a boat. Appropriate, I thought.
Mom's cake. I slaved over it for minutes as I bought it at Walmart last night. The things we do for our mother.
After we sang to Mom, Emma decided to grab a candle and get wax all over herself. Good thing Grandma was there because Emma's mom didn't do much but roll her eyes.
Josh kept trying to dodge the camera. Got'cha now, big boy!

Happy Birthday, JC. I found this old picture and now I have a scanner, so watch out, everybody. This is JC's birthday in probably 1990 (judging by my perm). It's the house in Idaho, I know that for sure.  |
