Fall!

Once again I am behind on this.... lots going on around here... Football season, Haydens fall season and Tristen running circles around us. He is getting so big, he loves to help out with anything we are doing.... Grandpa and Ree Ree came up for a weekend to help out while I ran Market to Market and he loved helping Grandpa with tools and his handy work on our new DRIVEWAY! We have been wanting to add an extra slab for a while so this is going to be so nice to have. Tmans bday is getting so close so we will have more pics and updates soon... but for now some of the latest.


Hired a babysitter and had a nice afternoon to tailgate and go to the Texas game, lets just say Pre-Game was fun.....
Ok funny story, Dad stayed a couple extra days to help finish the driveway and we went out to eat and stopped by Dairy Queen on the way home, well my Dad was in the backseat and told Tristen he could have a bite or two of his dip cone, so they start sharing... its dark out by the way and so we get home and open the car door and found Tristens face like this!!! We handed him Haydens ice cream just for the picture effect!

HANDS!

Smoothing it out!

All the boys using shovels...

Tristen was determined to get that shovel in the wheelbarrow...

Shaving with Daddy!

After my Market to Market run, 84 miles, 13 hrs... one long day! I didnt run it all... its a relay so I did just over 13 miles.... Long but FUN!

Tristen was helping Mommy make Burrito Casserole....

He loves his Appie.....

Hand on the head in utter disappointment he couldnt have the camera!

Playing in the rain in his diaper!

SPORTS!

Its football time! If you dont know how it goes down here in Lincoln for the Husker FB season.. well its nuts... its so much fun and the people are die hards here.... took Tristen to his first game this year and he did very well... loved letting his balloon go and watching thousands of them in the air!

Tristen also got his first tennis racket and lesson from Daddy.... he has a Nadal Jr.... he he... cute....


Tristen telling me something very important. When he gets intent on telling you something he comes right up to your face and with the funniest tone says... IM GONNA and whatever he is about to do. Its so funny.
Getting ready!

Family pic...Notice the flag in the background....

It was also a very special day... 9.11 - It still gave me chills to see firemen, policemen and a current player who served overseas walk out onto the field with flags after the tunnel walk.....

BALLOONS!

Sea of RED!First lesson....Balance.... gonna be a while!

Ok a couple things here.... when Tristen is really tired he passes out hard just like when he was an infant arms out to the side and legs straight..... reminds me of when he was a tiny lil thing.... second thing is he looks HUGE here! I cant believe it!

Los Alamos for Labor Day!

We didnt really think we were going to take another trip this summer but the opportunity presented itself and so we decided to head down to New Mexico to visit with Haydens family for a long Labor Day Weekend.... We had so much fun and stayed so busy... Dave our event coordinator had everything planned out to make sure we got all of our outdoor activities in! The only sad part was that Marty had a trip planned to Costa Rica leaving just before we arrived and coming home just after we left, so he is just gonna come up here to visit! We cant thank Dave and Ruth enough for having us and invading their house and Elena and Tarik for getting that great BBQ done and Grandma Deborah for visiting and helping keep an eye on the little guy a few times!





Random sleep position... I get a kick out of checking in on Tristen after he goes to bed because to just never know what position he has fallen asleep in!



Ruth and Tristen watching a video

We headed to the park with Elena for a playdate she takes Aida to.... We went home for lunch and then Hayden was off being punished by Dave on a mountain bike ride...

That morning was cooler than the others so we did pants and a jacket!

Elena and Aida taking on Tristen on the slide

Snack time, Aida loved her glasses!

Playing nice in the Chariot, We biked down to Starbucks, Tarik took the kids and there was happiness till Tristen flew off his slide and ate tree bark! Whoops!

Gabriel's for dinner.... fab place to eat....

We were walking around and Tristen found this rock and plopped it down....

Aida made it!

Bandalier National Monument.... awesome place... Indian caves and Ruins, after Tristen finished a major meltdown all was good...

H and I got to branch off and climb up to the Alcove which was cool.... climbed 140 ft vertical to get up there..... I just deleted the pics.... I will put them back on here soon... too tired now!

Playing in the stream

Grandma Deborah!Pancake breakfast at Elena and Tariks!

BBQ time..... We had a great time... not so many pics bc I was busy playing around myself.

This little piggy.... Dave did it to Tristen one night.... so the next morning he gets up and comes down the stairs, lays down and sticks his feet in the air..... and then continued to do that throughout the day... ha ha!

Wanted to push Olga around! This is Ruths mom!

Dancing after waffles by Dave!

First time on a trampoline, not too sure....

And the goodbyes begin.....

Hugs and Kisses

My last little hike/jog with Dave up to the reservoir

Tristen is really starting to enjoy coloring except that every time he chooses brown.... thats it. Brown!
