Trey's Birthday

Well, we decided to celebrate Trey's birthday with Donnie's family over Memorial Day weekend. We had a blast. We went to a see Night at the Museum II, on Friday night once we got to Charlotte. Then on Saturday Donnie played golf and then we all went to the park to play. When we got home from the park Trey opened one of his presents from us, and Marci, Chad, Kelsi, Lexi, Matthew & Teresa's. He got a Wii from Donnie, Alyssa and I, and then the game Mariokart with a steering wheel from Marci and everyone. He LOVES IT! He was really excited. So, we played that with him until dinner came. Then once dinner was over (it was like 9:00) my kids went to bed, and we all watched Mall Cop. It was really cute. On Sunday we went to Church and then came home and got the food ready and Teresa MAJORLY helped me with Trey's cake. Dad, Mom, Angie and little Gavin were able to come as well. So, that was a treat. Gavin is doing really well. We just found out though, that he will have surgery on Thursday the 4th. He has a hernia. No fun. But, they say he will only be in the hospital overnight. Anyways, Mom, Dad, Angie and Gavin game Trey a transformer, transformer puzzle and then also Lego Indiana Jones Wii game. He loves all of it and plays with all of it ALL of the time. We then did cake and ice cream and enjoyed each others company. Then on Monday we packed up, went to lunch with everyone and headed home to my dad's birthday party, where we had ribs, crab salad, ect. It was a nice long weekend.

On Friday the 29th we celebrated Trey's birthday with my family. We cooked hamburgers, had crab salad and chips. Then he opened a present from my mom and dad, and they gave him the original non-cartoon movies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He was so excited. He LOVES THEM. My Grandpa and Grandma Shurtleff gave him money as did Elizabeth.

On Saturday the 30th, was our day to celebrate with Trey by going out and about. On Alyssa's birthday we did Chuck E Cheese and the Zoo. Trey wanted to see a movie, go shopping (to spend his money), play the Wii, Watch Turtles, and eat at Olive Garden. So, we went to Toys R Us, where he bought all 4 action figure turtles that can also transform into pet turtles. Then we went to the movie UP! Which was excellent. A lot better then the previews made it out to be. Then we went shopping some more, and then to Olive Garden. When we got home we put together his turtles and played with him for a bit. (Alyssa had not spent her money from my grandparents yet either, so she bought Arora and Cinderella barbie dolls) We all played for a while and then put them down to movies while Donnie and I watched Lost. It was a very fun day.

Today May 31st Trey turned 5. It is still hard to believe. I am a little sad that he is growing up so fast, but as I have sat here and thought about it, we have a lot of GREAT memories with him over the years, and I can not wait to make more.
