Trevor is 4!

Trevor's 4th birthday was Monday, the 25th. After such a big birthday bash on Sunday, I had to wake him up and drag him out of bed so that he could go to pre-school. He was a little resistive. As I lightly shook him to wake up, and told him HAPPY BIRTHDAY, he grumbled:

No Mommy, I don't want another birthday party! I want to go back to sleep!

And when I told him he had to go to school and take his birthday treats, he replied:

No Mommy, I don't want any friends today. I want to stay here with you!

Awwww, as sweet as that was, he did finally get up. I made him waffles with a birthday candle, but he was still too grumpy and made me take the candle out.

Here are the cupcake that I stayed up til after midnight baking and decorating after his party on Sunday night...oh, what mother's do for their kids.

Trevor's pre-school labels each class with an animal. Trevor's class? Zebras. So I made 24 "Zebra" Cupcakes for Trevor's classmates and teachers. I used both chocolate and white batter, dropping a teaspoon of chocolate, then white, over and over until the cupcake tin was full, so that when they are baked, the cake has a zebra like look to it.

Trevor had a package from Grandma and Grandpa Wilson waiting for him when he got home from pre-school. Inside were lots of treats, and a special box full of Moon Sand! (yeah, thanks mom!~can you feel the sarcasm?) It's a cross between sand, and playdough, only worse! It has a sand texture, but molds like playdough. And makes a fun mess ALL OVER!

But, Trevor LOVED it, so I guess it's worth all that sweeping and cleaning after he's done playing with it!

And this was Trevor soon after playing with the Moon Sand.
At first, I thought he was just faking so he wouldn't have to clean up his mess, but no, he was truly sleeping. Poor guy, he was so worn out! I think the events from the last 2 days had caught up to him!

Bubbles

The little ones loved the bubbles. Addison and Hannah were actually reaching for them and trying to catch them. It was so cute. The boys were chasing them, and popping them with their fingers. Who knew bubbles could be so much fun!

Adults in the Bounce House

After the kids had bounced themselves silly, it was time for the "Big Kids" to play! Andrew wouldn't let Alaina bounce without him until Drew got back from church, so in the meantime, they 'bumped' together!
Here is Kelly, Kristina's husband, showing off for the ladies!Sherree having a blast bouncin...

Look how happy she is...she's in her element!

Alaina & Andrew

And wouldn't you know, that the few times I make an appearance on this blog, I'm jumping in a bounce house!

(This is McKenzie missing my perfect toe touch...she snapped the picture on the way down, so that once in a lifetime shot is not available!)

Kenzie showing off her bouncing abilities!

I'm sorry, but is that perfect form, or what?!

Julie definately has some skills in the bounce house! I am wondering if she doesn't do this behind our backs as a hobby!

I started to crop this picture, but decided to leave it because, holy cow, check out that height!

And a flip!

Here is Kristina showing off her skills!

This was the most fun I've had at a party in a long time! We also admitted that we got quite the workout! I'll have to see how sore we all are tomorrow!

Opening Presents

When it came time for presents, Wyatt had already had his fill of partying.
Going....Going...

Gone!

Never have I seen a little boy who got so excited about getting clothes at this age!

And here, I think Zack was just as excited about the gift he got Trevor!

Trevor put his money in the helicopter money bank right away!
Thank you Grandma & Grandpa Turner!!!

Here is how Trevor reacted to most of the clothes he got!
Especially the "Silly" Monkey shirt!

Trevor's 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Trevor's 4th Birthday on Sunday, even though his birthday isn't until Monday. We had a few friends over to play.
I made Trevor a Helicopter Cake with a matching #4 cake just for him.

Here are some snapshots of Addison, Hannah & Andrew

We also had a shave ice machine, and McKenzie was the master of the shave ice! I can't tell you how many she made for everyone....and for herself!
It was a hot day, and a great treat for ALL of us!

We rented a bounce house, a castle bouce house, to be exact...

Hudson & Trevor

In addition to the bounce house, we had got a new pool. It was a huge hit as well...

Above is Hudson and Trevor in the pool, and then right after.
