Trevor Turns 5!

Welp, T-rex is five.  FIVE, I said.  I have a five year old.  When did that happen?

I thought it would hit me when we signed the contract for kindergarten at a new school next year.  Nope.  Maybe when he brought home the spring school photos and he looked all grown up with his new haircut?  Nope.  I don't think it has fully hit....But yeah, he's five, and we had a blast celebrating!

Cake by Sweet Temptations Dessert Cafe

Every child got their own in-flight lunch based on what their parent told me they would prefer.

When the wind wasn't horrible, the photo booth area was a hit too!

Favors could be picked up from the baggage claim area at the end of the day :)  

Airplane toss....when the wind allowed

Everyone loved loved loved the bounce house.....

when I said everyone loved the bounce house earlier, I did mean everyone.  After everyone left, the big kids jumped in for a good time.  

Trevor insisted that "Mr. Adam" come to his party--thanks for coming and playing along guys!!

All printed party materials are form OwliePowlie.  

Trevor's Valentine's/President's Day Program

Due to some crazy snow delays, Trevor's February program at school was moved to this past Friday.  He did a great job and made big improvements in how he was up on stage.....he sang along and really got into it for the whole time instead of only doing the songs that he really knew.  We were SUPER proud!

the final "little boy" thing

At the end of last summer, I noticed that Trevor's hair had really changed from being baby fine and soft (and super manageable, too!) to being a bit coarser and much more unruly.  We have tried to keep his cute little boy haircut since then, but finally had to throw in the towel this weekend.

While we sat in church, Trevor told us that he wanted to cut his hair like his friend Luke, so since he was so specific about what he wanted on his own, we finally caved.

One last photo of Trevor with all his hair:

okay, maybe just one more.....

Only downside to the haircut?  iPhoto is now thoroughly confused as to who is Trevor and who is Olivia in every picture.  

January Snow

This January, we had snow dumped on us two weeks in a row, more or less shutting everything down for a couple of days each time.  The kids had a great time getting out and playing in it, which was nice, but we are all looking forward to warmer weather.

okay, so Olivia is not amused by the snow at all.  She's a summer baby through and through.

D is for DADDY

Because everything fell perfectly into place the week of Homecoming (ok, well aside from the car accident) it was D week at Trevor's school. . We obviously pulled Trevor out for Thursday so that he could be on the pier, but Friday was his sharing day, so we really didn't want him to miss out.  Trevor chose to bring his Daddy to school for sharing, so it was a great way for our little T-rex to celebrate having his daddy home on his own!

Shane brought some of the stuff that he had picked up while on deployment to share with Trevor's class and it was so nice to see how proud Trevor is of his Daddy.

First Day of School: 4 Year Old Edition

Trevor had his first day of school on Wednesday.  This is his third year at West Ghent (love this school!) and this year he is in the Bear (4 year old class).

When did my little boy grow up and become this tall non-toddler child?  I must have been sleeping (oh wait, we don't do that anymore at casa de chapman!)

Trevor Meets Olivia

OK, so I know that this post is long overdue, but taking care of two kiddos on my own?  It is a lot of work y'all....so behind is where I am, and probably where I will stay for the forseeable future.

Later in the evening after Olivia was born, Matt and Chase brought Trevor up to the hospital to meet Olivia.  Trevor was immediately in awe of his little sister and even though we have had some issues with being too rough, we are working on it now.  Olivia is going to have to be a tough girl to make it through being Trevor's little sister....

Soccer Saturday 5.11.2013

Trevor had his last soccer game of the season today.  While I still don't see a full-athletic scholarship coming our way (at least not yet)  Trevor really does love being a part of the team and that makes it all worth it.
