Texas Trip!

Tristen and I headed down to TX for a little visit for family and friends but the main visit was to meet little Olivia Mancuso! We had a blast, Tristen is a fish and loved swimming!

Getting ready isnt easy.... Tristen kept taking things out of the suitcase!
Traveling with an 18 month old that doesnt want to sit still isnt easy either, he did great but I had to keep him busy with lots of things.... this is a sheer moment of sitting while looking at a video.....

First thing he did when waking up the next morning.... Found Grandpas way cool smoker and grill he built and climbed into the storage area of it and called it his own for the time there!

There she is!!! Such a sweet little face, looks just like her Momma!

So little.... hard to believe how fast they grow

Sandbox fun with Arabella..both kiddo were saying cheese!!!

Merry go round with Ree-Ree.... not sure yet if he liked it.

Kisses! I missed the one on the lips!

Tristen also had some valuable learning time in sharing....

Kim, Arabella, Tman and Grandpa!!!

Tristen was trying to smile but it was a bit bright for him

Ok we are working on our table manners but when your on vacation your suppose to sit back and kick your feet up right!!!?

Logan and Ali!!! Crazy little swimmers!

Kick! Kick! Kick!

Ducks... gonna get them.... I will! I will!

Aunt Lindsey and Tristen heading to the park

We did the park every day.... it was fun to say I had my son at the park I grew up at... played all my tee ball and sball games there and where we played on the jungle gyms and swings... they have built a whole new area but some of the old stuff is still there!!!

After all that fun we had to get up early and catch the first flight home.... Tristen was so as easy going on the flight home but we made it.... here he is checking out his plane that was going to take him home!

This was right as we landed.... he finally sat still for two whole minutes... he was so tired.... had a breakdown on the plane but food usually does the trick.... then he was out within 5 minutes of the car ride home....

18 months!

Tristen had his checkup last week and is growing like a weed.... well not really up as much as filling out... ha ha! Everything is good and he is a go getter... this boy does not sit still and so I try to plan fun activities for us to get out and about.... last week before Haydens last trip we took him swimming and then my friend Jess came over and we had a nice evening of chatting while Tristen and Roselynn played together..... its so much fun to have play dates when they are really more fun for the adults!!!

First off Tristens latest stats:
Height: 31 and something??? 33%
Weight: 26.5 50%
Head: 19 inches 50%

This was too funny.... started off by playing outside together, then dinner....

The get Pjs on and have a glass of milk....

Last little roll around and play together....

Roselynn making sure he is all cleaned up....

Little bit of feeding....

Brush teeth and we all lived happily ever after!
