Ok, I will update

Ok so I have been catching some flack for not updating so here are a ton of pics! Ree Ree and Grandpa came up for a week while Hayden was off in Germany so we got out and had some fun....

I think we ate dinner outside every night...
Loves his wagon... he does ride in it but also likes to take it for a walk

Now this is the life, glass of wine with Ree Ree and soaking up some sun while Tman swims

We went down to the Roca Berry Farm and picked our strawberries... Tristen liked them A LOT and before I had a chance to get them home and cleaned he had eaten some with the stem and all....

Grandpa and Ree Ree hard at work picking....

It was hot and we were outside and just decided to get in the pool with all our clothes on!

Feels great Mom!

Of course Grandpa grilled and Tristen mastered the corn on the cob...

Went to the zoo!

Ree Ree with a butterfly.... Tristen wasnt all that interested....

Ok he thought the camels were a little big.... and close!

Matching hats!

Before Daddy left for his Germany trip!

Whatcha looking at? Eating Hummus... which he calls HHHHUUUUU MMMMMM and over exaggerates!

Goodnight favorite....

Ok so tonight I am about to lay Tristen down and we are doing the regular.... he gives me his kisses and then he rests his head on my shoulder.... so I started rubbing his back and then I was patting it.... well all of a sudden he starts patting my back and neck... I was starting to laugh and then he kept doing it and was laughing and it really just made my night.... :)

Memorial Day Weekend

Well the weekend was full!!! Four days off were awesome! We started out Friday night by going out to our friends house for a BBQ and yard games.... I was victorious in taking Hayden down in polish horseshoes..... just wanted to point that out... TWICE!!! We went to the parks, swam at home and in the pool at my work, went for a wagon ride, rode our bikes down to the farmers market and so much more... here are some of the pics I got....

This might look a little rougher than it was... he loved it but boy it gets fast when its wet so we then switched it to the smaller slide!!!





Had some fun sliding into the pool....

Had lots of outdoor time

He LOVED corn on the cob.... he took it down!

And of course no BBQ is done without watermelon!

Fun things....

When we got back from Texas, Tristens first day back to daycare was a big day... he moved into the toddler room which is kiddos 18 months - 3 years.... we ditched the diaper bag and he now uses this little backpack that Grandpa Marty gave him. I tried to make it a little personalized by putting his name on it!

Ok, so we all know that Tristen is OBSESSED with phones.... well he now also loves to act like he is taking his own picture on the phone which isnt too far off, he sees us point out phone camera at him.... its just so fun when he turns it around and says CHHHEEEEZZZ!!!!

Look at me sporting my way cool converse hi-tops! Thanks Aunt Elena!!! They are really big now but the best part is we know they will fit soon!

Ok this is to show his cool shoes but then also to show you what Tristen does when he gets upset.... he locks his legs out as hard as he can and then starts whining!!! HA HA

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!
