Trevor turns 8....

Trevor's birthday was today and he celebrated with a round of Mini Golf with his good friend Erick, who just happened to be celebrating his birthday today too. Although they share the same birthday, Erick turned 9 today and Trevor turned 8. They met when Trevor was in Kindergarten and Erick was in 1st grade. They were in a Kinder/1st Grade combo class. They have also been on the same baseball team for 3 years. The first year they played it was just chance that they ended up together, but since then we have requested it.

On hole 2 Trevor got a hole-in-one.
Well, it took him 3+ tries to get the ball to go around the ramp, but then it went right into the hole. He was totally amazed and yelled hole-in-one.

Erick didn't fare the same when it was his turn. His ball, and Hayley's on her turn, kept going under the ramp. Finally the two of them just threw the ball towards the hole.

Erick was first up on this hole and hit the ball beautifully over the water hazard and onto the other side right next to the hole. Trevor was up next and after about 3 times of it landing in the water he made it to the other side. Hayley went last and had a bit of trouble.

Hayley's ball kept landing in the water so Trevor and Erick came to her rescue. After about the 4th time I finally told her to throw it over the water hazard so we could move on.

All 3 kids were having trouble hitting the ball into the houses with moving doors so they decided to hit from a closer spot, the actual ramp. They said they were purposely disobeying the rules to have more fun. Oh well, they weren't hurting anyone.

This was taken just before hole 17. I thought the water in the background made for a good picture. I just warned them not to fall into the water.

Trevor and Erick had a great round of golf.
We are glad we were able to do this together with Erick's mom, Denae.



In the evening after dinner we sang Happy Birthday to Trevor. When asked what type of cake he wanted for his birthday he said a Brownie Cake, so that is what I made him.

After singing Trevor tried to blow out the candles and didn't extinguish any of them. I joked with him that maybe he needed a breathing treatment and then he could try again, but he said no and moved locations.

From the side he was able to blow out all 8 candles and we shared the Brownie Cake.

Happy 8th Birthday, Son!
We love you very much and are extremely proud of you.
