ELEVEN

Tregan turned 11, on June 5th. I am just now, kind of accepting this fact. It was a hard one for me. It just means he is that much closer to being 12. He is now in "Big Boy Scouts" And he will be able to go to overnight camps. WHAT??
He has grown so much! He is pretty mellow, most of the time. He Still, LOVES to play video games. I can tell he is getting closer to the teenage days. He is just content to hang out! He prefers to be in the house, watching a movie or playing video games, or even just sitting with Jayson and I. And talking and stuff. He is such a good big brother to Aty! I think I probably say this a lot. But he really is! He is so protective of her, and just loves, loves her. He and Dax are kind of in a stage right now, so they don't get along most of the time. Well, maybe like 40% of the time. Tregan is in that phase where he thinks younger kids do dumb, silly stuff. So he teases Dax a lot! 
 He played basketball for the second year. But he didn't like it as much this year, as the last. He chose not to play baseball, in the spring this year. He decided he wants to try soccer this year. He played it alot at school, and has come to like it.  I started him in piano lessons a couple of months ago. His friends mom teaches. He is not sure if he likes it or not. But she tells me, that he has caught on really quickly. We are hoping he has his daddad's(Jayson's dad) talent with music.



Breakfast in Bed!
When my boys were little, I started a tradition where I would decorate the house and their bedroom, the night before. Then they get breakfast in bed, the morning of. This past couple of years, I have thought maybe I could stop doing that! At least all the decorating. Since they are getting older and all. But NO, Tregan totally expects it. He is funny, he will ask me specifically the night before if I have decorations. This year was no different. He had only been awake a few minutes, when he disappeared into my bedroom and got himself all propped up, waiting for his breakfast! Guess he thought he got Extra Special treatment this year, since he wanted it, in my bed.
If anyone gets breakfast in bed, then Aty thinks she gets it too. Aty and Dax, joined Tregan in my bed for breakfast, as well.



All day, Aty thought it was her birthday, and wanted to open the presents.
Tregan was a good sport and let her help him. I love her face in this picture,
she is So excited for his gift!

This year was a hard one for us, trying to think of something to get him.  He did not give me hardly any ideas. Well except an IPod Touch. Which Jayson replied "No Way!"
So we had to get creative.

I got him his favorites.
Snickers and Taki's

I let Jayson decide on his big present. He chose an Air Soft Gun!

This year, he did not have a friend party. We just celebrated as a family.  Jayson decided to take the day off. We all went to a place called, GET AIR. It is a trampoline place. We had a BLAST! Even Jayson and I, were jumping with the kids. It was not very busy, so we had lots of space to play together. We had races up and down the inclines of the tramps. and we played dodgeball.

Well, we all dodged while Jayson attacked us with the balls!

They have this pit you can jump into. It is full of Styrofoam blocks. And it is hard to climb out of. I know this because, I got stuck in them. I woke up with a really sore back that morning, so it hurt to move much. The boys and Jayson, begged me to jump in to these with them. And would not take no for an answer. So I did it!  My feet sunk clear down and I could not maneuver my body enough without hurting, to get myself out. Jayson was just standing there laughing at me, and Dax came to the rescue. Unfortunately, Dax was not strong enough to pull me out. By this time, I am laughing so hard I cannot do anything,

Finally, Jayson comes and helps me out.

 It was so embarrassing!

They had all these other Trampolines, that ran from one side of the wall to the other. Aty found out she liked to slide down from the top. By the end of our play time, Jayson, the boys and I, were all racing from the top of one side, to the other. Sliding down. Jayson cheated though and he would bounce across, instead of running. So he always won. He almost fell a few times though, so that was funny!

Tregan chose to eat at Dave's Barbeque.

So we went there and then headed home for cake and ice cream.

 

He wanted a soccer ball cake, this year. Which sounded alot easier to make, then it was.
It was not my best cake!The shapes I cut out did not fit really great, on the shape of the cake.
I should have used more round shaped, pans. Oh well! It was just for family.
 And he was happy with it.

Blowing out the candles

Aty had to take a turn blowing out the candles too. We even sang her happy birthday!
She is so spoiled!

Another year gone by!
 I hope this one goes by slower!
