Trey is 2!

Monday was Trey's birthday! He turned 2 years old. Days before we tried to teach him to respond with "2" when someone asked him how old he was. We were driving in the car when we were doing this and as he was saying two, he saw some tractors which he yelled out to get our attention. Jordan says, "Two tractors??". Trey said, "Yeah". So all this last week, when we asked him, "Trey, how old are you?" he would answer "Two tractors". It's pretty funny.

His birthday this year landed on Labor Day, so it was nice that everyone had work off and could spend the day with us. We started the day off with breakfast at the "Beach Cafe", a small restaurant near our house. Then, in the afternoon, we had a pool party since our backyard is finally finished... yea! Instead of going all out with a theme and stuff for his party, I just went to the party store and let Trey pick out a set of plates, napkin, etc. He enthusiastically picked out Curious George. For a cake, we did a cupcake bar. I made chocolate cupcakes and everyone could choose their own frosting and decorations for the top. Trey just went straight to the sprinkles and mini M&M's. Of course!

We had a very fun day and Trey got some great presents. Tractors, trucks, bikes... all his favorites. Happy Birthday, Trey! We love you so much and can't imagine our family without you! We're so glad you're "two tractors" now!
