Trevor 5th birthday!

 TREVOR NELSON CASTLEBERRY

Happy Birthday sweet baby!!!

April 16th. My baby Trevor's birthday. We asked 

Trevor what he wanted to do on his birthday this

year. It happen to land on the Arkansas Razorback

red/white game. So Trevor requested to go out to

eat at the "peanut place" (Logan's) and then 

head to the red/white game!! It's his day so 

off we go!! :)

 Trevor was super excited to be at the Razorback 

football game!! This is him at hog stadium.

 WOO PIG SOOIE!!!!

 Trevor's friend Lilly came to celebrate and 

watch the game with us!!

 Call those hogs!!!

 Felix Jones and Darren Mcfadden came to the game.

We couldn't find Darren but we found Felix!! We 

are also big Cowboys fans so this was perfect!! 

We asked Felix if we could get a birthday pic with

him and he was super cool with it!! Made Trev's

day!!!

 Our friend Ben Cleveland (a former Razorback)

came to celebrate with Trev too!! The boys 

love Ben!!

 My beautiful Cruz with his hog tat on!! Work 

it baby!!!!

!

 It wasn't long though before the boys lost interest

in the game and found interest in the girls!! Oh Lord,

pray for me now!! This is Cruz's little girlfriend 

CeCe!! They are so cute!!

 Trev and his friend Lilly played games on our phones.

They were in their own little world!! 

 Cruz took a little cat nap. He looks so precious!!

 Daddy was calling the hogs with his baby boy.

These are some of the sweetest memories for me.

Thankful for the little things!!

 Mommy and her favorite little boys!!

 After the game we came home so Trev could open

his birthday present from mom and dad!!

 He got a Leapster Explorer!! His face was priceless

when he opened it!!

 Love it!!

Trev, mommy and daddy love you so much.

I can't believe your already 5!! The time is

flying by. I pray for you every day. I want 

you to know that. I pray that you become 

a man of God. That your happy, healthy 

and confident. You are a very special 

little boy. God blessed you with so many

neat talents. You can use these to do and 

become anything you want to be. Trust and

obey God through your life journey, he will

never steer you wro

Trevor's 5th super hero birthday party!!!!

 Sweet Trevor loves him some super heroes and

he also loves to dress up in costumes. So,
for his 5th birthday i thought why not just
combine his favorite things and have a
super hero costume party. I thought the gym
would be the perfect place for a 

superhero to do their favorite superhero moves!!

Trev's cousin Tryston has a birthday a
couple weeks  before Trev so my sister and
I combined forces tohave the coolest
superhero party ever!!!

 All our little superheros loved the foam pit!!

 Even my little captain america couldn't get enough of it.

 My adorable niece Trynity as bat girl!! And the cutest

bat girl I've ever seen!!

 Tryston about to do a super hero dive in the pit!!

 Trevor had to practice his super hero swing too!!

It's hard work trying to save the universe!!!

 My sweet silly Cruzy!! He couldn't be thrown in the

pit enough!! I need one of these at home!!! lol

 The super hero table was amazing!!

I used comic books as in inspiration.

 I took the boys to Shelby Lynn's cake shoppe in
springdale to let them pick out their own individual
cakes. Trevor choose a captain America cake!!
They did such a great job. It turned out perfect and
Trev was really excited about it!!

 Tryston choose a batman cake!! Very cool.

We ordered cupcakes for the kiddos. We had batman,

captain America and superman for the choose from.

 For the kiddos party favor we had all kinds of
different candy they could choose from
to take home in a cool superhero bag. We
gaveeach candy it's own  name that went with
our superhero theme. 

For example, star burst were "super burst"

sour punch straws were "power punch"

we had superhero tattoos called "bat tats".

It was so much fun.

Each candy had it's own name in a burst shape

just like in the comic books!!!

 For the kids table I took a comic book
apart, taped it together and had it laminated
for our table runner!! It  turned out so cute
and was probably my favorite part on the table!!
We used primary super hero colors for 

plates and forks and had different super
hero napkins.

 For the middle of the table I filled clear jars with all
Trevor's super hero figures. Then I took
Trevor's hulk hands and tied balloon's around the thumb!!
The kids loved the big hulk hands and had fun finding
their favorite super heroes in the jar.

The boys fixing to blow out their candles!!

I can't believe Tryston is 6

and Trevor is 5!!!

 Tryston didn't enjoy everyone singing Happy Birthday

to him so he just hid under the table!! Silly boy. I 

didn't get hardly any pics of him!! lol

 Trev on the other hand was just fine with it. He couldn't

stop staring at his cake. He was ready to dig in!! 

 I love this kid soooo much!!!

 We are licking our lips ready to DIVE in to this cake!!

 He was so funny!!

 All the kiddos eating their cupcakes!! They were having

a great time!!! 

 Keegan and Cruz were cupcake monsters!! They had

icing all over them. Uncle David was very brave to hold

them BOTH while they were eating a cupcake!!

 We wanted the kids to have as much playing time in the

gym possible since you only rent it out for a short period

of time. So we decided to take presents home and open

them there. That gave us an extra 15 min to play!!

It's just chaos when you have 15 kids trying

"help" anyways. It was much calmer this way! lol

Even Cruz enjoyed bubba's presents!!

The party was a huge hit!!! Tryston and Trevor had so 

much fun with all their super hero friends. Now, what to

do next year.....

Life Lessons

Lately, my sweet baby Trevor has turned

into a klepto. It all started out very innocently, 

or so I thought, a few months ago. Trev

would come home from Mimi's with some

little something in his pocket. I just thought

at some point of playing during the day he

stuck it in there and forgot about it. He is my

child after all. But then he went over for a 

play date with his cousins and came back 

with something of theirs in his pocket. 

Trev is the one who brought it to my

attention so we returned the toy the

next day and I once again just blew it

off.

John went out of town last week so

my sister and I decided to take the kids

and go eat at Grubs. Yummy!!! We had the

best time. The kids were drawing pictures

handing them out to the servers, the boys

were really gettin their flirt on, we watched

the draft and american idol but then the kids

became restless and it was time to go. We get

them all to the car and started out of the parking

lot. I heard Trevor say something about cutting

or tearing (cant' remember) a piece of paper

in half so I look back at him only to see he

had stolen a fork from the restaurant. We 

held hands out to the car and he wasn't 

carrying it in his hands so I knew he had

stuck it in his pocket to take home.

My thought at first was to take him home and 

deal with it when we got there (actually it

was- really.., a fork?) but then the good fairy

appeared on my shoulder, thank God for

her, and reminded me this would be a 

great lesson to teach him!!

I turned around and headed back to the restaurant

letting Trev know what we he was about to do.

I'm going on and on with my mom spill about how

stealing is wrong and unacceptable etc, etc.... until 

we arrived in the parking lot. And to my advantage 

there sat a police car not to far from us. My sister

who was finding all of this pretty funny said

to Trevor " Trevor, I hope that police officer

doesn't take you to jail for stealing."  Trev

didn't want to get out of his seat after that!!

He kept telling me to take the fork back

so I had to remove him from his carseat and

carry in myself.

When we walked through the doors the manager

was standing right there and guess who he was

talking to? The police officer!!! Trev's eyes

got soo big when he saw this. Ive never seen

him so freaked out. I walked up to the manager

and said "sir, my son has stolen a fork from 

your restaurant and we are here to return

it and apologize." I made Trev hand over

the fork and then I asked him to tell him 

he was sorry. He just looked at the manager,

eyes as big as saucers then his little lip started

to quiver. He buried his head in my shoulder

and began to cry. Everyone who had been 

standing there were all giggling, along 

with the police officer and myself. I 

put his head up and asked him again

to apologize which he did then buried

his face in my shoulder once more. As 

we were walking out the officer looked

at me (with a straight face this time) and 

said "That was a great lesson you just

taught him." I  replied "thanks, I'm working

hard with him so you will never have to!!"

Tough love is always hard for me but I think

it will pay off in the end!!! It's paying off now

even, Trev is a great kid and I'm so blessed

to have him and Cruz in my life!!! And I don't

think you will ever read another story about 

my klepto ex klepto child......
