Monkey see... Monkey do...

So an update on the lil man.... Tristen is so flipping fun right now.... he has always been but anyone that knows me, knows that I cant sit still and so I have just as much fun going places and being outside till bedtime and just being busy! He talking more and more... speaks in some sentences.... half the time its still jibberish to me but I do know what he is getting at or wants most the time. He loves to talk about Mommy and Daddys car and when he hears an airplane he looks up in the air and points and finds in and says aaa--- ane or something like that! He loves his wagon rides and loves to call out for Appie ( Aspen) and Kow (Taos) He also has been hanging out with Roselynn my friends little girl and they are too cute together, giggling and running around and then theres the occasionally ahhh, mine and tug of war but so be it with a 2 yr old and almost 2 yr old. Here are some randoms....


He likes to do whatever we do.... lately he has been watching Mommy put on makeup which is a funny thought and I didnt quite catch him with the eyeliner... we had to discuss later that the eyeliner goes up on the eye and the powder doesnt go on his head... ha ha
So Hayden and I tried our hands out at hair stylists... not a bad job I would say....

The funny part is Hayden was trimming around his ears and he turned his head and whoops took a little off where we didnt want!

Its been hot, we mow without clothes....

Ok so this pic was a couple days before it happened, but Tristen went poopy on the potty! We are not starting official training yet, he isnt really ready but he is getting the idea and trying it out.

Love this... Cute Daddy and Tristen

Man cleaning is a tough job but Mom said I have to do it!

He also loves to pretend clean and help! I actually was cleaning the patio door and gave him a towel and spray and he wiped with me!! Oh and the chin boo boo was from the playground!

Star City Shores....

Dont know why we didnt start going here til the end of Summer but its GREAT! After we got home from Mexico we all wanted to swim and be in the sun.... so we went over to a great place for Tristen to play... its so busy of course but its still great! Tristen loves that he can changed the fountains by turning what looks like a steering wheel ( another thing he loves to play with) and running around and thinking he can swim by himself!

A wheel!!!!

Not understand what the "safety break" meant... he just wanted to go back in!

CABO CABO!!!

Well we did it, took the lil man down to Cabo! Last time I was there was when I was 6 months pregnant.... he might have gotten his love of water from me floating in the Sea of Cortez! So we headed down this year with my parents, brother and his girlfriend.... of course it didnt start out so smooth, flying standby can keep you on your toes! We made it there after Mommy got to fly in First Class (feeling very guilty) and Daddy was a trooper holding Tristen on his lap! We had a ball and got to swim with the Dolphins, Zip line and endless water time! Tristen was loving every minute he had, Grandpa and Ree-Ree helped out a ton and watched him some some Hayden and I could do some fun stuff together.... Jason and Sonia also helped us out.... its a bit different down there with a little one so we really were thankful to have our family to help out!

Ready to go in Omaha... except our plane left without us on it...
Ok I love this picture, dont know what everyone is laughing at but they are all looking at different things/people!

Jason and Tia Sonia... Tia Sonia about to drench him!

Good Morning!

Early Morning swim, pools to yourself!

Swimming in the Sea of Cortez...

Making a masterpiece...

We were watching for flying fish....

Swimming with Endy our Dolphin!

Loved it!

And Hayden being the only male in the group she liked him a little more, hence the tongue....

These were actually his first steps ever on the beach....

Zip Lining!

Tristen loved jumping into the fountains....

Our mountain.... climbed to the very top.... beautiful views!

Better get this done....

Once I got home from Jersey Kim and the kiddos came up for the annual NE trip... Had a blast.... and it sure was different from last year... last year Tristen wasnt MOBILE!!! So it was great to have Ali and Logan help out some too... I will say Tristen loved his Ali, she was so good with him!


Went to Music and Mozzarella....
Tristen found someone his size and proceeded to take her dancing....

Ali had a blast!

The whole group in the pool! Even the dogs!

Loves the sprinkler and doesnt mind that its freezing cold water!

Pool time, Hayden in background trying to get Logans Transformer... transformed!

Ok I was impressed if you cant tell by my face.... Tristen hung on for a good amount of time....

Tristen was so excited he would just go and sit by Logan ready to play.

Good Morning faces!

Playing in the sand while I played vball.....

Went to the childrens museum

Tristen has a funny excited face??

Showing Grandpa that he too can fly!

Ali, Tristen and Logan

Of course Tristen took charge and was in the drivers seat here....

Ok so this is funny.. sort of. Tristen has entered into a phase of hitting, not much yet, but still.... Well we were skyping with Hayden who is in Switzerland and Tristen hit me with my phone so I set him in a time out right by me.... well Kim thought it was funny and took a picture... his face was stoned the whole time....

Cheese!

We went out to the Cessna Citation for the Special Olympics which was very cool and inspiring, a jet landed every two minutes!

We were standing in the right place at the right time, the torch runners came by and gave Ali a hat and Ali and Tristen pins for their shirts!

Tristen giving Ali some love... awww

Thanks to Hayden taking care of us and making our yummy drinks!
