Trey's 4th Birthday

Trey turned 4 a couple of weeks ago on May 23rd.  Here are a few of the highlights from the big day...

For some reason Trey really likes football (I'm sure it has nothing to do with his dad's job) so of course he needed to wear his football shirt and mommy made football cupcakes.  

We picked up three of Trey's friends and took them all to Chuck E Cheese to play games.  We're totally bargain shoppers as Kristi got a coupon for 20 frees tokens when its your birthday. Then we paid $10 for 50 tokens and the boys played a ton of games for over an hour for just ten bucks. Their reward from the tickets won were packets of Pop Rocks.  It was hilarious watching them eat those as I'm sure it was a bizarre first experience for them to have candy popping in their mouths.  Oh, and Trey's dad set the new Pop-A-Shot record picking up where he left off at Game Face! :)

By the way, the kids in the middle in the picture above...you're probably thinking he's maybe a year older than the other kids.  Nope.  He's two months older than Trey and almost a foot taller.  Of course, his parents are really tall...and you should see his little sister!  She'll be three soon and she is as big as Trey!

As most of you know, Kristi is always either looking for a bargain or making one on her own. For Trey's birthday she wanted to have a pinata but of course she didn't want to pay what stores were selling them for.  So she and her mom got the materials and made a Dolphins Pinata for a grand total of $2.38.  The best part was when the kids had hit it like 50 times and barely put a small hole in the side...I took a peak in the hole and found that the inside had been reinforced with duct tape!  It had to be the toughest pinata known to man...if four energetic four year olds couldn't break it open!  Moral of the story: don't use duct tape to make a pinata.
