Yankee Doodle Boy

Trent turned 8 on Friday! It is very appropriate that our boy was born on the 4th of July. He certainly is a firecracker! He chose chocolate chip pancakes this year for breakfast, and after opening his presents, he was more than happy to dig into them. Hailey made all of his b-day signs this year and wrapped his presents, too. He got a Speed Racer transforming car, a portable CD player and headphones, a model remote control car to build with Greg, tennis balls, a giant Hershey's bar, and most importantly, Monster Jam for the Wii. We spent the afternoon having a barbeque at Greg's parents, where the kids ran through the sprinklers and went in the hot tub. We then came home to wait until dark for the fireworks. But that's another post.
This post is to tell everyone how lucky we are to have Trent in our family. He is so smart and clever. He loves his family, especially spending time with his dad. Like any red blooded-boy, he enjoys tormenting his siblings, yet he is also quick to help them if they need it. He loves cars, space, video games, and Star Wars. He makes us laugh and we are very proud of his choice to be baptized next month. We love you, Trent!
