Trent's 30th Birthday!

Man! Trent is getting old ;) He's now the big 3! 0! Hahaha! I wanted to do some sort of big surprise birthday party, but I figured he wouldn't really appreciate that. He would enjoy an evening together with our small family more then a big event with a ton of people. So...we made it a fun day!

We started out with a yummy breakfast. I made him a homemade Apple Pie shake in our blender, some eggs, and I did a secret early morning run to get doughnuts (his favorite). Here's Tanner enjoying the yummy food!

 

Then while Trent was at work I hid 30 pieces of paper around the house. They each had one "I love you because..." written on them.

We enjoyed a fun night out to eat together as a couple. Of course Trent would pick the all you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster, one of his favorites. I enjoyed some chicken :)

I snuck off to ask them to bring Trent some ice-cream for his birthday. They are one of the few places that do it for free still. Nice of them to do that ;) I liked the candle in the ice-cream...good touch.

Then he opened his present. He's been wanting a dog for a long time, so I thought I would just give him one now. It's a debate we have and I'm not sold on the idea of a dog yet. Both Trent and Tanner want one. We can't have pets here, so we don't really have to address the issue at present...lol. It was a fun craft and Tanner really wanted to make it. We waited till the next day to make it. That next morning Tanner brought it to me again and tried to open dad's present. I told him we had to wait for dad and he cried about it. We finally made it that night. 

Tanner enjoyed playing with dad's present bag a bit.

In the morning with the present he was hoping to make.

The next night we went to the nicklecade. We had to split it up because Trent's rotation didn't give us enough time to do two things in one night. Thanks Mom and Dad Parkinson for watching Tanner for us. Trent's choice of course, it was fun. 


This horse race was a hoot. We were both sore and tired by the end of the race. Trent wanted to race again. I opted to watch....lol.  

 I even played "Jurassic Park". We had a good time shooting the dinosaurs.

 

 Then with our tickets we got Tanner a hammer. He found it hilarious to hit us. Dad of course would have taught him how to do that.

Behold the power of the giraffe Hammer!
