Trey's Birthday (June)

For Trey's First Birthday, we had a crawfish boil!   

Trey (aka the Blur)

Meeting his Dinner

Meeting the Crawfish

 Those Cheeks!

Poor Hank the Puppy

 

The dogs thought it was about to get real.

What ARE those things?! 

Really?

We gave Trey one (minus the claws) to play with . . . 

 Poor little crawfish! 

A terrible way to die: being shaken, banged on rocks, and dragged though the dirt by a toddler (worse than being boiled?)

Cutie Pie!

 Trey's Guests (all a little taller than him):

The dogs have all the best toys!

Photos with Mama and Daddy

awwwwwwwwwww

 And now . . .

Birthday Cake (aka the Worst Thing Ever)

To sum it up:

We wanted to classic "baby digs into the birthday cake and shoves it all over his face, smiling, etc." shot.   

THIS is what we got instead:

"OMG WHAT WAS THAT?!" - Trey

Why?

Trey grabbed the candle . . . yes, grabbed the candle. 

 Everyone gasped, and this (we think) scared Trey because he balled up his hands and started screaming.  Everyone else was laughing, but I thought he'd burned himself, so I was crying.  And, Trey was crying (so, of course, Hank the Puppy was crying louder than anyone)!  We finally got him out and his (not burned) hands un-clenched, but he was pretty much done with birthday cake . . .

Frosting?

NO WAY, Jose

  Attempt #2  - Being a little more careful . . . .

Maybe . . . 

A little smile . . . 

Seriously.
 (I have his arm from behind)

"OMG!  NO! NO! NO! Not the frosting again!" - Trey
P.S. What child likes frosting?!

Gross

 Opening Presents (not scary):

New hat!

Ok, this book is a little scary to me, but T loves it!

The Three Little Javelinas . . . very cute and very Arizona!
