Birthday Bash(es)

In true Smith/Fuhriman/Perry fashion, Tre's birthday called for many parties. Here are the pictures and a brief description of each (So I can look back years down the road and know what was going on when Tre turned the big ten-oh).

First we start with a party at Nana and Papa's on the Sunday before his birthday. I made a cake and cupcakes and brought creamies. We were supposed to go to the park and have lunch there so Danny, Staci and Bridger could come by and visit but it was rainy and cold and Bridger wasn't doing too well. So we went to Nana and Papa's and had a good time anyway:

Tre opening presents. Many, many Tech Decks were given this day (and he LOVED it!)

Legos were also the present of the year. Tre is quite the Lego master these days.

Yep, he's still as goofy as usual!

Rowan (1) LOVED my cupcakes :)

Then there was the birthday morning. We were up at 6am to celebrate before Dad had to go to work. Tre got a new skateboard, new skate shoes, legos and......-drumroll-....a CELL PHONE. He texts, calls and plays constantly with that phone. But I feel better knowing he has one in an emergency situation or when I need to get a hold of him. He's so big!:

Then there is dinner at Sweet Tomatoes and night swimming at Grandmas:

Tre on his new Rip Stick. It took a while to get used to it, but he eventually could ride it.

Playing with legos...again

This is Tre salivating over his requested Chocolate Mint Oreo Cake. I made up the recipe and it turned out fantastic. He loved it!

The highlight was probably the friend Slip N' Slide party. Complete with fruit smoothies, water guns, water balloons, cupcakes, Creamies, and friends this party was a "blast". Pun intended:

Trampoline fun. All the kids loved playing on that tramp...especially me!! CJ is doing a backflip in this pic.


Give boys (and a girl) a cooler full of water and thier own water gun and you've set yourself up for a down pour. Here is everyone posing for a perfect picture to sum up the party. Cj, Tim, Belle, Tre, Ciao, and Noah


Slip N' Slide. We had the water going for over two hours and it turned our backyard into a lake. At least everyone had fun playing in it! Caio, Tim, Belle, Tre, CJ

Tre is quite pleased. The gifts included legos, Tech Decks, and Hot Wheels. Pretty much all three of his favs :) Shown: CJ (12), Tre (10), Caio (10)


Ha! This was so funny. Tre climbed into the cooler full of water to use as a barricade against the other "team" that was hiding out in the playset. Then he told everyone he peed in the water so they couldn't fill up their guns once they were empty. Little punk!

Big bucket of water balloons that took me an hour to fill......

....two minutes and 15 seconds later. Empty.
