Polar Bear Run

Trenton ran his first race this weekend with us at the Polar Bear Run.  I think his favorite part was actually playing with the Polar Bear mascot, but running his cub dash was a close second. :)  Prior to his run, he watch us run the 5K trotting from the start line to the halfway part with Opa to high 5 us twice.  It was funny because at the halfway high five he started running with us.  He wanted to run the big guys.  He didn't have to wait much longer for his run and he was beyond thrilled to receive a ribbon for his accomplishment.  

MLK Day at ATL Zoo

We took a coworker to the zoo while we were out of school for MLK Day.  Trenton enjoyed the company.  Bennett liked feeding himself his own bottle.  Mommy enjoyed talking.

Playground Fun!

The boys gathered toys into their wagon, and we went to the playground while PaPaw and Daddy hooked up Apple TV.  It was a task that would be quicker and easier without the help of little T.  He didn't realize it was a scheme to get him out of the house luckily.  :)  Needless to say, we had the best time playing at the "castle" this cold, yet sunny day. You see, I am the princess and he is the knight to rescue me and my baby from the tower.  He has such an imagination!  It's one of his favorite games down at the playground.

 Let's roll, Momma!

 The look of innocence!  It won't be long before Bennett is climbing around and getting into mischief just like his brother!

 It was a good day for swinging. 

 And if you couldn't tell, he loved it!

This picture show Bennett's 3rd and 4th teeth well.  He got the bottom two, then his fangs on the top popped through.  You can see them.  The top middles are on their way, too.   

Trenton uses his imagination with his rope.  Who knew a rope could be so much fun?!

Sir Trenton's Knight in Shining Armor Party

Trenton had a Knight in Shining Armor 3rd birthday party.  We decorated the clubhouse with swords, shields, axes, and helmets. We built a castle with chains.  The place was decked out.  Kids could play, eat and have a good time. 

 Can't believe our little boy is 3!

 Sir Trenton's castle, constructed and painted with love!

 All knights need swords, shields, cannon balls and horses.

 Barb the Cake Lady made a fabulous cake!  Not only was it adorable, but it tasted amazing!

 Bennett, our little dragon, even enjoyed the party!

 For food, we had a breakfast theme.  (M-oatmeal, fruit on the sword, dragon in the blankets, dragon eggs and muffin towers) 

Peek-a-boo!

 There were cannon balls flying everywhere!

 Watch out below!  The blow up swords and shields were a big hit as well.

 The kids rode around on stick ponies and ran in and out of the castle. 

 It was every boys dream!

 Cake time is always exciting because Trenton is obsessed with singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out candles.  (We have pretend parties all the time!)

 Helpful friends and family passed our little dragon around. 

Trenton's cousins helped him open his presents.  

 and he got a bike from GiGi and PaPaw!

Trenton's 3rd Birthday

Trenton had a super 3rd birthday! 

 He loves to blow candles out so we had a muffin morning celebration followed by a couple presents.

 Then we went to Legoland to explore and play.  Trenton ran around from toy to toy.  Bennett watched.  We tried to keep up with them. 

 T liked building the lego cars to race. 

 Ready, set, go!

 He also enjoyed building them on the shake table.

 as well as rolling around in the box of them. 

 But by the end of the day, he was tired. 

 We quickly grabbed lunch at Johnny Rockets.

 We had a little boy ready for his head to hit the pillow.

 He rested up for an evening of celebrating.  Opa came over when he got off work.

 Trenton got to open more presents.  He loved his V-Tech robot, plasma car, and balloon.

 Bennett, once again, thoroughly enjoyed all the activity.  His buddy Opa showed him everything!

 Granna tested out the plasma car with Trenton.

We ended the evening with pizza and a cookie cake.  What a fun day!
