Trenton turns 9

Trenton had a great birthday party. He decided he wanted to do a 'minute to win it' birthday. So we played some really fun games from the show. Trent got a lot of guns...he was in heaven!

The onlookers...

Then on his birthday we make cupcakes...his favorite and of course he wanted to light the candles.

Looks like it's going to be a good wish.

Trent's first Pinewood derby

You may be able to tell by the look on his face I had to BeG him to do this...."come on lets work on your car a little .." You know stuff like that! Ya, RIGHT! He could hardly stand that he had to wait a whole week from the time we got his kit till it was time for the race.

He did really well over all and had a great time....8th place is good right? Especially when mom had to do the helping on the car. I was very proud of him for his design and the hard work he did. I love just turning this over to them and letting them do whatever they want. Lets face it that is the fun part for them anyway.

Jeff and his Cactus

Jeffy just couldn't get enough of all the cacti when we were home for a visit! We had to stop at every new kind of cactus and take a picture and talk about what it's name was. Luckily Grandpa was with us and could tell us all about them. Then he (Jeffy) took grandma on a tour of her own back yard and showed her all of her own cactus. The Saguaro

Barrell

He was one happy camper and is still talking about it today!
