Catching up.....

This is a little bit of everything from lately... we have been going to the zoo where Tristen is obsessed with the train, he will hear the whistle and then stop do a funny little dance and wait for it to be in sight.... now he doesnt want to get on it though.... It did scare him the first time I took him this year, it came around the corner and was louder than he expected and so maybe he is shy from that, who knows!?
Ree Ree and Grandpa came up to watch Tristen while I had a weekend in Omaha for a friends wedding and Hayden went biking in CO with Dave, so they had fun going to the zoo and playing in Grandpas car... another obsession.... pretending to drive! He is loving his bike and is getting so fast on it, its time to break out the helmet!
We are starting some potty training and he had one day where he went potty 3 times, but he isnt really telling us... Starting on Wednesday daycare wants to have him in underwear and go full force because he needs to be trained by this fall to move upstairs to the pre-school rooms, so here goes nothing!
Things have started to slow down a bit at least for now, I am super excited to head down to S. Padre in a few weeks with Tristen and meet up with the girls and kiddos, 3 Mommies and 5 kiddos.. gonna be a blast!





Smores!






This was when he told me he was heading to Texas with his backpack and all...

Happy Easter, Spring Game, Tennis Match....

My first sewing attempt! I have been wanting a sewing machine for a while so I finally got one and wanted to make Tristen a blanket, worked out pretty good!

Spring is coming!

First time in BIG BOY UNDERWEAR! So it was only for a few minutes before bedtime but I am ready to get him going on the potty training, Im hoping by summer! Sunday Funday! Hayden has some matches that fall on Sundays and luckily they have been able to have a couple matches outdoors so far this year and since the weather is nice I packed a picnic lunch for us and then pulled him on the bike downtown to watch "Daddys Match" We ate and then we played in the sand vball courts which is right next to the tennis courts, then we biked home, I love taking him on the bike places, its so much fun! Drawing time.... not much done yet....

Hold You....

So when Tristen wants to be held he will say Hold You... Hold You....I have been telling him that he should say Hold Me and he is still a little young to understand all that but I still try to say it.... so just the other day he came out with Hold You Me.... HA HA... so he kinda got it!

Its been getting a bit warmer and the grass is showing signs of green!!!





We have been taking in some tennis matches.... Tristen really loves to go to "Daddys Practice" as he calls it.... He will get excited and shout GO GAME!

The vacuum diaries... I really should make a diary of Tristen and his vacuum obsession.... in this picture it was time for his night routine of books and milk which is usually in his bedroom but this night he requested to sit by his vacuum and do it.... he has also asked to have his diaper changed right by it, he tells me "Mommy, I lay by MY REAL VACUUM"!!

This was a role reversal, usually I am the one giving Tristen bites but he thought it was great fun to feed me! He kept saying "Mommy bite" "Eat it"!

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.
