Happy Birthday

He's 5 years old!!!
I can't believe he is 5! I know everyone said it would go fast, I have heard that a million times, but until I experienced it... I didn't fully understand how time works against me.

He is fabulous! I love every toe and finger on this boy, and I can't wait to see what a man he becomes!



I usually have a GREAT picture to show you, but it will come later...
as for now, this is the 5 year old that I have in my head right now!


We did have a party though, and we had SO much fun. He wanted it to be a space party, so we made him a space shuttle cake, hung planets from the ceiling and blasted off with a pizza party.

We had a few friends over (there are a few missing from this picture), and we launched rockets into the air until one blew up.

We made flying saucers and decorated them like a galaxy...
We even went on a space adventure and ended up finding "moon rocks" that could be examined closer at the NASA laboratory. Here they discovered that they would bubble and disintegrate to expose ALIENS!!!
(Baking soda balls with toy aliens inside put into vinegar)

Then we ate our rocket cake on our rocket plates, and drank Tang!

I hope he remembers this party, because it was some serious fun!
Happy 5th Birthday Trenton!
