Popcorn and Movie...

I put Tristen down to bed tonight and had my evening planned to pop some popcorn and watch the volleyball game. I came out into the kitchen and got the air popper out and once it stopped popping I noticed Tristen was all upset crying in his bed, so I went in and ask him what was wrong and he said to me with a very strong voice "Dont turn on the popcorn and dont watch a movie!" Poor thing was being left out!!! Just for a little background he loves to have popcorn and movie nights so I guess when he heard the popper going he was a little upset at me, so of course he came out of his room a few minutes later because he said he needed to pee pee and when we were in the bathroom he said "We have some popcorn and I watch a movie, then I go to bed" Ha Ha, he was trying to work his way into it so I told him if he was good tomorrow then maybe tomorrow night we will have popcorn and movie night..... he was content....

This picture is now 4 months old!

So just before I left for my South Padre trip with the girls and kids Hayden and I found out that we are expecting Baby Perez #2!! Peanut Perez is due in late February, so since I have been bad about my updates my next picture will be my 4 month pic. Things have been pretty good this time around, I still was extremely tired till about my 14th week, hungry all the time and no sickness... so pretty much the same as with Tristen just add a 2 1/2 year old to chase around and that leads me to my shorter fuse! I do struggle with that right now plus Tristen is in the heart of his terrible twos/threes, whatever it is these days! So we will find out the gender of the lil one here in 4 weeks! Looking forward to seeing what it is and plannong for Tristens baby brother or sister... He says he wants a baby sister!

The update has arrived!

Ok, so I know I have been behind but I have compiled a slide show to try to catch yall up! We have been trying to keep up with Tristen.... He is sure turning into a boy, always having a new bruise or cut daily... having his moments of not listening and testing his limits! He has been doing very well on the potty training that I guess we can say now that he is fully trained and before 3! He pretty much tells us now when he has to go which is awesome... he says he is a big boy now! So with that being accomplished he was able to move upstairs to a 2 1/2 yr old room which sets him up to move to a preschool room here in the next few months! He turns 3 in less than two months... just crazy!!!

My first mortifying moment...

Ok, first off... a large update will be coming very soon I PROMISE... but first I must share a story from last night. Hayden and I were playing softball and I originally was just going to be the extra hitter and watch Tristen but one of the girls asked me to play so I said ok I will go in a catch that way I could also see Tristen. Well we had some friends sitting and watching so I asked them to just keep an eye on him and not let him run onto the field. Well I look over after the first batter and all I see are bare butt cheeks! I tried to yell Tristen what are you doing!! Well my friend say he said he had to go, so I said Ok....(She didnt quite know that he needs help and to take him to the potty)So he then just walked over to the grass area pulled his pants down and went... I was totally embarassed but also laughing inside. So after the inning was over I went to talk to Tristen about it and I must say I was proud that he told her he needed to go but I tried to explain we have pottys here to go in, and he response to me with a little shrug was Well Mommy, I just go in grass like it was no big deal..... That was the funniest part.

4th weekend

After South Padre, Tristen and I flew back up to DFW and went to Grandpa and Ree Rees, Hayden drove down to meet us and then we celebrated my birthday and the 4th... We pretty much just stayed in the pool and then went to Marcis river house with all the family and friends... its always such a fun time. Tristen was a fish and has been doing so well with his swimming, he is very comfortable putting his head underwater on his own and jumping off the side of the pool to us... he even was jumping off the back of the boat to Hayden over and over again.

Okoboji...Farmers Market....Swimming!

Alright, I took Tristen on a last minute trip to Okoboji, IA with my friend Jess and her family. Her grandparents have a "cabin" up there which was no cabin, its a beautiful house and we had so much fun, I even threw on the wetsuit and Jess and I did some open water swimming! We have been keeping busy with swimming lessons, farmers markets and backyard fun! The latest update on potty training.... He did unreal when we started the underwear from day one... he has only had 1 accident at daycare and it was very little. He is getting it, but still needs some work. This first pic was at Dinner, his swim trunks were on the back of the chair and I looked up and they were on his head!




I was vacuuming the living room and went into our bedroom and this is what I saw!

It was hot, so we just jumped in with our underwear!
