July 16th is the day that I celebrate the two most gentle hearted boys in my world! Happy 12 year anniversary to Scott, and Happy 5th Birthday to Trent. There is no other way I would want to spend my anniversary than to celebrate our sweet Trent. God made him extra special. He is so tender, thoughtful, giving, funny, athletic, FUN and so much more!
We decorated the hallway with banners so that Trent woke up to a birthday fun! Trent woke up so excited and ran out to the living room. We got him his own snocone maker! Football gloves and blow up boxing gloves!! Then, we got him a blow up water slide!!! It was already blown up and ready for him to play on!!! His party was on his birthday so we used the slide for his party! They were in their bathing suits and playing on the slide at 8am, haha!
Trent wanted a "silly string, water, monster truck party!" SO, I got 75 cans of silly string, 600 water balloons, water slide, sprinklers, pool and Monster Jam decorations! Instead of cupcakes, Trent wanted candles in a snocone. So, I ordered snocones from his favorite "Bahama Bucks." Cousin Ally scooped up all the snocones and we sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Trent is in love with "Double Daves" pizza! So, we ordered their pizza rolls and chocolate pizza....yummmmmy! He has great taste. I also made a fruit salad with his favorites....blackberries, strawberries and green grapes! He was on cloud nine and very very happy!
Our yard filled with Trent's friends and family. We had a huge silly string fight and water balloon fight, which was SO messy!!! Scott and I were right in the middle of it all, having a blast. Then, I gave all the kids a bag to fill up with all the mess! A prize went to the kid who got the most stuff in their bag. They cleaned up most of it! I made a "5" out of the silly string cans for the centerpiece and sticky hands were the party favors, which I thought was creative since Trent is now "all 5 fingers!!"
We used his new boxing gloves and the baby pool was the "boxing ring." We got some great laughs! Cousin Ally and Jake were big helpers and had fun too!! It was a fun party. A wild party. Yet, a simple party! Filled with laughter, good food, and adorable kids! Sweet Trent impacts everyone he meets. He is so genuine and kind. He is a wonderful, patient and thoughtful friend. It shows because everyone was so excited to celebrate Trent!
12 years of marriage! We are "officially" celebrating soon when we go to the Virgin Islands. But, Scott picked up dinner after we put the kids to sleep. We ate and talked for a long time. We talked about our past, future and how wonderful our present is! The rest of the weekend was filled with more Bahama Bucks snocone trips and a fun bootcamp! Scott and I threw spears into hay and weighted bucket carries. Rather than filling them with dirt, we just put the kids in the buckets! That was a serious workout. It is so fun that exercise is a family event for us. We all love spending the active time together. The kids are always right behind us, mimicking our every move! The last 12 years have blessed me beyond measure. We are grateful for where God has led our journey so far, and excited about what is in store!!!
