Happy 4th Trent!

Trenton (Duke) Madison McMinn born December 3, 2004 8lbs 15 oz


In the hospital! We couldn't wait to get you home. It was snowy in good old Orem, Utah!Cute little bundle!This was your "going home outfit" from Grandma JergensenOne of our favorite Pictures of you and Dad, just a few weeks old!At two weeks old we took you to San Diego for Christmas. You pretty much stayed in this position the whole time!!!At two months old you got RSV. It is a nasty viral infection. This was a scary time for us newly parents. We rolled your crib into our bedroom and kept you close at all times. As you can see you, you smiled through it!!Another one of our favorite pics taken at 9 months oldYour first birthday!!! As tradition, you got to open one present in the morning.In this picture you are making a face that your little sister, Camryn, likes to make!Getting ready to go to Chuck E Cheeses with Steve and Janae LowYou still love any game that involves some type of sport or ball!Your very first birthday cake made by one of Mom's good friends, Jolyn

Every year we catch a picture of you opening your birthday presents in front of the Christmas tree...it has become a tradition that you may grow to hate!!!

At 18 months we moved across the country to an unknown state...Georgia!!!You were Mom's sidekick for the first few months while we got to know the state that you and Mom had NEVER set foot in!This is your second birthday!!!You were quite excited to get the cars DVD...and sticker book. You still are a BIG fan of lightning McQueen

Here is the picture with the Christmas tree in the background...barely!

Your third birthday party with friends and family!



You and your cousin Hudson have birthdays just a day apart. We have been lucky enough to share our second and third birthday together with the familyOnce again in front of the Christmas tree!
Trent- We love you and are excited to see you continue to grow into an even "bigger boy". You are such a great son and an even better older brother to your sister Camryn. We have enjoyed watching you over the past four years develop your characteristics. Keep making us laugh!!!
(More pictures will be added to this post after Trent's preschool party on Friday...I have run out of energy for the night!)
