Treven

This photo was taken at the family reunion, where they got cotton candy and popcorn after the pinewood derby races.  Treven had purple cotton candy all over his face...but he was one happy boy.

Treven will turn seven on Thursday this week, but he had a birthday party on Saturday.  The theme was pirate's, and you were supposed to come dressed like a pirate.  I couldn't believe how all the kids actually did!  It was pretty cool.  I'll have to load some of the photos from the party a little later,  What I wanted to share today though, is what a sweet kid he is. 

Danelle told me that yesterday morning, he said "thanks for doing so much work for my party".  She was tickled that he realized it.  Then he said..."here's a quarter to help you for doing so much work"...Now how sweet is that?  The party was terrific.  Getting there is a whole different story, which I'll share another day.  They played pin the "tail" on the pirate, had relay races, had a treasure hunt, and a water balloon fight.  Gary filled around 200 balloons with water, and we stored them in two different coolers.  Then the boys divided into two groups and threw balloons at each other.  I didn't actually see too many of them get hit.  They were all afraid to get close enough to actually hit someone with them.  Sam hit a couple of kids, and the balloons just bounced off and then broke when they hit the ground.

After the games, Treven opened his gifts and then Gary cooked hotdogs for everyone.  Danelle had chips in a basket and they could pick which one they wanted.  Pop to drink, and cupcakes with the gold coins standing on top.  Each boy got a treasure chest full of treats, tattoo's, and a spy glass.  Sam even came wth a hook...  Whitney was the only girl there, but she seemed to enjoy it anyway.
