My Big 10 Year Old


Wow. Just 3 years until the teens. Can't believe he's ten. He had quite an exciting birthday. He got a Nintendo DS, finally! We told him back in December that if he saved $50 by May, Nanny & Gramps + us would pay the rest for him to get one. Well I think we all heard about how much he had saved thus far everyday since then. It was a good lesson in hard work and money saving. So the day finally came and Nanny showed up bright and early, and off they went to have breakfast and Ds shopping. He was sooo excited.
On Saturday family came and we BBQed and hung out. The boys slept outside in our tent and all played DS until they couldn't see straight. Uncle John and Auntie Em got him a basketball hoop and a ball (now he's complete), Uncle Nathan and Auntie Steph gave him Laker's sweatshirt and shirt, Mitchell grandparents gave him a Lakers wallet with bucks for another game, Cole and Ethan gave him 2 DS games. He was totally in his element. All he asks for in life are: food, family+friends, Lakers/basketball, video games (pretty much). He's very loved:)

You and Jeff are such great parents! Any other kid would have probably kicked and screamed to get there way and I bet Trevor did learn a lesson! It's hard to save money even for grown-ups LOL! Sounds like he had a great day! Hold on to that adorable baby face because before you know it he will be a teen!
