Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog

Yes, it was a Mickey Mouse birthday weekend and Trevor was pretty excited.  We had a pool party at Nini and Papa's house so of course the weather was a concern.  It was thundering a couple of hours prior to the party but thankfully no rain for the whole day - BUT it was HOT!!!!

My wonderful dad and Gary cooking the hamburgers and hotdogs.


All the boys (Cale was still with us) took a good nap, and Trevor took almost a 3 hour one - he was a tired boy. When he woke up he was so ready to head to his party especially after he saw his new bathing suit and shirt.

I made a chocolate cake and this year thanks to my friend Clair talking me into it decided to make cookies (so glad I did).  Trevor loved his cake and seeing Mickey Mouse everywhere. 




 Brody didn't wake up in a good mood after his nap so this was the best we got.



He got right in the pool and stayed for a little while but of course was ready for a snack since he didn't have time for one when he got up.  With a pool party there seems to always be a scary moment and so yes Trevor decided to jump in after watching his cousin Caleb BUT Trevor didn't have his vest on.  Thankfully between John and Jason they were able to grab him. I was hoping he would have kicked his way to the top but he didn't.  Later on he was playing on the back playground and didn't have his vest on again and came near the pool to "look" in and fell in.  Daniel saw it happen and hollered out for anyone to grab him - Jason was in the pool and John was on the side and hollered "I've got him" as he dove into the pool.  Jason said that he kind of stayed at the top this time and didn't sink so I guess he got better.

Cake time and Trevor was so good and enjoyed everyone singing to him and blew out the candles in 1 blow.  He had some practice on his actual birthday with a waffle.  After he blew out the candles he said "Happy Birthday to me" and claped - he's so stinkin' cute!!



We moved right into presents and he did so good with the presents.  Last year he couldn't sit still long enough to open them but this year he would pull something out and want to move onto to the next present even though there was still some things in the bag.  There were a couple of items that he wanted to play with right then so he sat back in his chair and tried to play with it.  He was having a blast.  Big brother was pretty excited over some of his gifts as well because he knew he was going to be able to play with them as well.




Not so sure about this.  He loved the 4wheelers in Toys R Us - he didn't care about anything else.  He spent a lot of time crawling from one to another.  We figured he would grow into this one.


Big brother was more than willing to take him for a spin


It's my turn now.  He does ok, but can't turn too well so my dad kept pretty busy making sure he didn't run into anything.


A few people stayed around until about 9:00 continuing to swim which was a lot of fun. 



The pool party was so much fun and I think Trevor enjoyed it as well.  A positive to having a summer birthday in Florida - the party will ALWAYS have something to do with water.
