Trevor's Birthday Party

One of my favorite memories from Trevor's birthday is the way that he anticipated his party. He had very specific ideas of the way he wanted things to be. For instance, he wanted a "Boston Red Sox" party. (Another story - the rest of us are Tiger's fans in this house). He wanted to have a time where they just played and he wanted to have some games. Here he is making a poster to greet his friends. He allowed Ryan and Anderson to help, but they could only draw things related to the Red Sox:)

The Poster

"Play" time started with a friendly game of football. Here's Trevor's team in the huddle.

The baseball cupcakes - - looked much easier than they actually were!

So adorable!

Along with baseball cupcakes the kids had rootbeer floats and Cool Ranch Doritos - all at Trevor's request of course!

Balloon Stomp

Trevor and Anderson; the last two survivors face off. Yep! Anderson was the victor.

We also had the baseball cupcakes at Jack's birthday and you are right- not as easy as they look. I did the first two, then turned the job over to Megan.

Funny Quotes From The Boys

I told Cai that Miss Maegan was going to have a new baby. He said, "Oh, did Arabella get lost?"
"Why aren't they red?" (Trevor) - this may not seem funny to you, so let me set the stage. . . we were reading a book (not the Bible) for family devotions. Kris had just said, "Jesus spoke these words." T popped his head up and scanned the book, asking the question that made me laugh til I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
"God has 15 hundred arms, because He never let's go of anybody" (Anderson)

Considering Lilies. . . a thought for you to ponder

“There is no moment when his eye is off of me, or his attention distracted from me, and no moment, therefore when his care falters. This is momentous knowledge. There is unspeakable comfort in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good. There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me. There is, certainly great cause for humility in the thought that he sees all the twisted things about me that my fellow humans do not see (and am I glad!), and that he sees more corruption in me than that which I see in myself (which, in all conscience, is enough). There is, however equally great incentive to worship and love God in the thought that, for some unfathomable reason, he wants me as his friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given his Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose.” J.I. Packer
