Happy Birthday Trent & Jim!!!!

So October 7th was my nephew Trent's birthday, and October 13th was my dog Jim's. My niece and nephews came and stayed with us for a week, so we celebrated Trent's birthday this last week while he was here, and Alex, my other nephew, made a cake for Jim. Too bad I couldn't get a picture before it was cut up... but here's what I got a picture of.



Then on Saturday, we did Trent's birthday party. Shane & I got Trent a remote control boat for his birthday, so we all took a walk down to "The Lakes" (the neighborhood just east of us) to try it out. Kira got to ride the horse for a minute while he went from the front yard to the back, and Lance and Joc went all out for the party. They got LOTS of fun things for the kids AND adults to paint, and made cupcakes to decorate. Lance did BBQ Ribs and BBQ Beef Sandwiches as well as hotdogs for lunch. Trent had fun and so did everyone else.

Taryn & Alex playin on the rocks where we tried out Trent's boat.

Lance, Trent & Shane got there first, so they already had it in the water by the time we got ther. It worked really good and it was fun to try.

Savanna trying out Tayson's stroller. She had a blast helping me push it down the sidewalk to the water.

Kira on the horse and the skeleton is Steve. (No, there's no hidden message Steve, Trent asked me how Steve was coming along, so that just kind of became his name) =P This is the one I painted.

This is the house Alex painted, and then Alex on the trampoline.


Trent & Tanner playing video games and Tayson sucking on his fingers instead of his pacifier, which he seems to be doing a lot lately... and his fingers of choice are his two middle fingers ...
