happy birthday trey!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Trey, happy birthday to youuu!!

Trey, you are one of the sweetest young men around and you display that trait in your everyday life. Along with your concern and heart for others, you amaze me with your kind spirit, your willingness to help others when you see they're in need of assistance, and above all, your passion for learning God's Word and practicing it in your daily life, where you realize it for not. You are one Godly guy. What a catch! :)

I am so glad God brought your family into our lives and I'm reminded of it each time I see you and Clark, the leaders, together. 

Happy birthday, dude!!

This afternoon we threw a surprise birthday party for Trey and what a party it was! Miss Danielle had been planning it for what seemed like ages, and she is the queen of parties, ya'll. Working/testing out Family Fun games makes the Furlough parties the best! 

Since Miss Danielle and Mr. Lennie were going to be super busy leading the games and watching over everyone, I offered to take my camera along to snap some pics {more like over 200 but who's counting}. Really, it was just an excuse to hang with them and have fun at the party because let's face it: I love parties. So, I invited myself under the disguise of taking pictures. Having a nice camera has it's perks, you know. ;) 

Click HERE to see the best shots of the evening, but since no birthday post is complete without some evidence of the festivities, I thought I'd share some of my personal favorites...

Pulling up; Trey was a smarty-pants and looked under the blindfold to confirm his suspicions... ;)

& this was right after Clark told him we each had a million dollars for his present. Funny guy that Clark is...

Playing Water Balloon Toss with a twist: using towels to launch/catch the balloons. 

Amazing Race al a Family Fun! 

Water bucket race... 

This was by far my favorite game: stuffing "worms" into a water bottle. Sticky beyond belief, but so fun to watch the boys and their partners stuff in the noodles. We found noodles in our hair and on our clothes for hours afterwards. 

See what I mean?!

Pizza time!!

DODGEBALL aka the best game we played that night!! I was thisclose to winning a round before Mr. Lennie tagged me. At least I didn't trip and land on my back like I did in the first round... :)

Cake time! Kudos to the Furlough kids for making one awesome tasting cake! 

Picture time!

Ah, good times and great memories!! Happy birthday, Trey!
