Jersey!

Alright so it was weeks ago now but just after Tristen's birthday party we went to New Jersey for my cousin Laurens wedding, it was beautiful and a nice visit to all my family I dont get to see often....it was nice to visit but I dont ever want to live there... its crazy!!!



He got to celebrate his birthday up there as well!

All dressed up in his suit!

Grandpa... 92 and strong!

He had to have his skeleton pjs on for Halloween night

Party Time!

Well we made it one year!! After some planning and my generous client Rich to offer to host Lil Mans party we had a wonderful time with some family, great friends and some of my clients. Photos courtesy of John McGeough!

Here is the birthday boy ready to get going!
Presents were fun, maybe more for me.... He didnt really have much interest in tearing open the wrapping, So I did it!

The gang!

Adult cake was YUMMY!

Tristens cake....

He started off a little gentle trying to figure out what it was...

Then once he realized it tasted divine... he was down with it!!!

Serious taking care of business

Needed some water to dilute some of that sugar!

A good posed family picture is hard to come by!

Tristen thanking Rich for having us all over....

The three boys....

Party is over and the jammies are on, but the sugar is still working....

Pumpkin Patch

Before the big birthday party and our trip to New Jersey I took Tristen down to the Roca Pumpkin Patch, Grandpa Marty, Grandpa Jack and Gran-mama all came too! He was our little lion cub!

This one cracks me up...

He loves his puppy dogs!

Some randoms....

Life is getting busy these next couple weeks.... we are on countdown to Tristens first birthday, a trip to New Jersey then a trip to Texas for Lindsey's wedding! Here are a few pics of the lil man as of late..... he has been working on 4 teeth and the first 2 just cut and the other two are right behind... going from two to six teeth! He is walking with a finger hold but just cant quite get the balance down.

Broccoli face!!!
Walking on the soccer field after the football game...

Our first family football game!

Getting ready for the rocking chair!!!

We are standing!!!!!

Yesterday we were at Old Navy and something momentus happened, Tristen was just standing next to something and he let go and was just standing there!!!! Today he has done more and more of that and for longer periods of time up to about 1o seconds!!! Hayden just got back into town and he was hoping he wouldnt miss anything and he didnt!!!

He is already a pretty rough lil guy, he doesnt mind falling much and just earlier he was climbing the stairs and would go up one and then turn around and try to lunge off to the bottom.... he loves climbing over the dogs and faceplanting.....I am gonna need the cold packs ready for the bumps and bruises!

Hangin'

Tristen loves the dogs.... he is always playing with them and as of late he likes to go under the table to Taos and "hang out" ----- the dogs are so good and patient with him, we are still working on being G - E - N -T -L -E......

Tuna Tetrazini..... yum yum....

11 months... OH MY!

Well Tristen is 11 months old and its really scary that he is going to be a year at the end of this month. He is getting closer to showing signs of walking.... maybe by his birthday!?
