SPORTS!

Its football time! If you dont know how it goes down here in Lincoln for the Husker FB season.. well its nuts... its so much fun and the people are die hards here.... took Tristen to his first game this year and he did very well... loved letting his balloon go and watching thousands of them in the air!

Tristen also got his first tennis racket and lesson from Daddy.... he has a Nadal Jr.... he he... cute....


Tristen telling me something very important. When he gets intent on telling you something he comes right up to your face and with the funniest tone says... IM GONNA and whatever he is about to do. Its so funny.
Getting ready!

Family pic...Notice the flag in the background....

It was also a very special day... 9.11 - It still gave me chills to see firemen, policemen and a current player who served overseas walk out onto the field with flags after the tunnel walk.....

BALLOONS!

Sea of RED!First lesson....Balance.... gonna be a while!

Ok a couple things here.... when Tristen is really tired he passes out hard just like when he was an infant arms out to the side and legs straight..... reminds me of when he was a tiny lil thing.... second thing is he looks HUGE here! I cant believe it!

Los Alamos for Labor Day!

We didnt really think we were going to take another trip this summer but the opportunity presented itself and so we decided to head down to New Mexico to visit with Haydens family for a long Labor Day Weekend.... We had so much fun and stayed so busy... Dave our event coordinator had everything planned out to make sure we got all of our outdoor activities in! The only sad part was that Marty had a trip planned to Costa Rica leaving just before we arrived and coming home just after we left, so he is just gonna come up here to visit! We cant thank Dave and Ruth enough for having us and invading their house and Elena and Tarik for getting that great BBQ done and Grandma Deborah for visiting and helping keep an eye on the little guy a few times!





Random sleep position... I get a kick out of checking in on Tristen after he goes to bed because to just never know what position he has fallen asleep in!



Ruth and Tristen watching a video

We headed to the park with Elena for a playdate she takes Aida to.... We went home for lunch and then Hayden was off being punished by Dave on a mountain bike ride...

That morning was cooler than the others so we did pants and a jacket!

Elena and Aida taking on Tristen on the slide

Snack time, Aida loved her glasses!

Playing nice in the Chariot, We biked down to Starbucks, Tarik took the kids and there was happiness till Tristen flew off his slide and ate tree bark! Whoops!

Gabriel's for dinner.... fab place to eat....

We were walking around and Tristen found this rock and plopped it down....

Aida made it!

Bandalier National Monument.... awesome place... Indian caves and Ruins, after Tristen finished a major meltdown all was good...

H and I got to branch off and climb up to the Alcove which was cool.... climbed 140 ft vertical to get up there..... I just deleted the pics.... I will put them back on here soon... too tired now!

Playing in the stream

Grandma Deborah!Pancake breakfast at Elena and Tariks!

BBQ time..... We had a great time... not so many pics bc I was busy playing around myself.

This little piggy.... Dave did it to Tristen one night.... so the next morning he gets up and comes down the stairs, lays down and sticks his feet in the air..... and then continued to do that throughout the day... ha ha!

Wanted to push Olga around! This is Ruths mom!

Dancing after waffles by Dave!

First time on a trampoline, not too sure....

And the goodbyes begin.....

Hugs and Kisses

My last little hike/jog with Dave up to the reservoir
