This evening I put Tristen down to bed - he was tired and I thought he would go pretty quick.... So I jumped in the shower and as I was getting out I could here him crying... So I went in and asked him what was wrong, first off he had unzipped his footed pjs all the way down so I zipped him up, then he was telling me he needed "medicine" Last week was the only time he had some Motrin for a cold but only once... So I asked him "Honey, why do you need medicine, you aren't sick?" With a very excited tone in his voice he said to me "cause I like it!" HA!

Tristen-isms

So I should start typing some of these funny things Tristen has been coming out with... So a few things to document

About a week ago, we were having dinner and Tristen took his peas that were on his plate and started moving them all to the other side of his plate with his hands, I said to him "Lets not play with our food honey" His response "I move it other side, Honey" HA HA! I was like... WHAT!!!!!

The next day, I went to pick him up at his daycare... his teacher says to me do you know what your son said today... I wasnt sure if I wanted to know or not but he had asked to sit on the potty, he isnt potty trained but will sit on it there with all the other kids doing it, so he sat down and look at her and said "I no go, I just fart" HOLY COW!!!!! I was first floored b.c neither Hayden or myself say that word, we usually say toot!!!!!

A couple other things I have caught him doing... Putting his trains in "time out" going up to them bending over and yelling... BAD! NO! We dont talk to him like that either when he goes to time out but it was funny... the next day it was his Moose and he picked it up and put it up to his face and started talking to it.... we do that after he is done, get down to his level and talk to him why he was in time out but him doing it was pretty funny.

I also heard him this morning playing and talking and he kept saying something and then counting to three... as in when we warn him to do something and then count to three..... he is a riot and SPONGE to say the least right now!

Building his train tracks... suppose to be a circle but he is happy with it just fitting together!



Got some really nice weather to get outside and play... All the snow finally melted.... but now as I write this we have 5 or 6 inches in the last few hrs.... Boo!





Tristen has started to really enjoy sometimes just going into his room and playing by himself.... He has even asked us to leave before... HA HA!



We even had a shorts day... well a Nebraska shorts day, my Texas folk would probably differ on that one!



Birthday party fun with his favorite girlfriend Roselynn!



Grandpa Marty came into town- Tristen had a ball with him, went to the park and the childrens museum... and just had some quality time together. He has most of the pictures on his camera so I need to get those and post them on here.

JH 2011!

Once again Im a bit behind...We headed out skiing for our Annual Jackson Hole trip in January with Dave and of course had a blast.... Tristen is ready to get skiing next year!

Christmas in Texas.....

Catch up time!

Ok, for the new year I will try to be better about getting this thing update more, but for now its another compiled slideshow of some of the Pre-Christmas fun and then once I get more pictures I will have the Texas Christmas! Things have been crazy busy but in a fun way... Tristen is talking up a storm and is still obsessed with phones and the vacuum!

ROAD TRIP.... TEXAS!

So Hayden went to Florida for a tourney and some recruiting and was going to be gone for the Big 12 game in Texas, so I decided that I was going to head down there with Tristen to go to the game and see the family for the weekend.... To make a long story short the flights were going to work out for us so we drove! My Dad flew up to drive down with Tristen and I and then drove back up home with me and then he flew back! Crazy right! Well it worked out great and Tristen was a GREAT traveler in the car. We took off at 245 am on TH morning and got to TX by noon.... I was able to have some good time with family!

Uncle Matias with Tristen and Benjamin (Matias' nephew)


They were too cute together.... right after this pic I came outside to leave and Tristen was having so much fun playing in the leaves that when I went to get stuff in the car and Tristen he just yelled across the lawn "Bye Mommy" -- he wouldnt have care at all if he stayed to play more!


Aunt Inzee as Tristen says....


REE REE!


Overlooking the lake down at White Bluff... Mom, Dad, Tristen and I went down for dinner and had a good time even though we missed sunset! :)


Stlyin...


Best thing ever, Kim took Friday off and took the kids out of school so we could have time together! Yippee! We got to play and go to the park numerous times.. fed the ducks and enjoyed some great weather!









The lil ones watching the game!


Game time! I took Marci and Kim to the game, we tailgated before and had ourselves a wonderful time... I separated my ribs a couple weeks back and all I can say is the amount of laughing we did together made them hurt so bad but for such a good reason... we need to do more of those days more often!
