Anniversary

Yesterday marked our 8 year anniversary. It's hard to believe it has been 8 years ago since we got married. Seems like only yesterday I walked down the isle to the wonderful man that is now the wonderful daddy to our precious baby boy! We have had a blast these past 8 years! We had a lot of time to enjoy ourselves and come and go as we pleased. Finally decided last year to start our Family and now we are enjoying being parents and enjoying learning new things together! Travis, I just want you to know how wonderful you are to me, and how happy I am of the life that we have made together! I can not wait to grow old with you and watch our life unfold to all that our future holds! Happy Anniversary baby! I love you!

PS. And what more exciting than to be able to celebrate, on this special day, as the first steps of Tristan!! My grandmaw was watching him while my mom went to the dr. and she called me screaming, I thought something was wrong. She told me he had took 5 steps several times! Just in time for the beach, as we are leaving this Saturday for a much needed vacation and Tristan's first vacation and I CAN NOT WAIT!! It has been several years since we have went anywhere so it is time!

More B-Day Presents!

I am behind!!!!!! Last Wednesday on Tristan's official birthday his mamaw Towery and Kelsie came up to give him their gift for him. Another car that he can ride and push and it makes all kind of noises! He loved it too! Also Betsy sent his present home with me from work and he got to open it as well. It was a blow up train that you put balls in for him to play in! This was a big hit at his party for Kayden and him, even though they were trying to throw the balls out!

Car

I thought I had already posted this but must have just been thinking it! Last Tuesday for Tristan's birthday my mama cooked supper for us and we had a mini celebration at their house because my daddy drives a truck and he wasn't going to be home to see Tristan for his birthday. We had yummy Chicken and dumplins and brocolli cassserole. After we ate and was entertained by Tristan for a while, she gave him his birthday present from them. He loves riding ANYTHING! So she thought he would enjoy a car. It is battery operated so he can ride it himself, it has a bar that comes out of the back for the parents to steer with until the child gets the hang of it. Well we thought that it had a button on the bar to be pushed to make it go as well but it doesn't. So we are trying to teach him to press the GO button! He absolutely loves it!!!




ALready Chillin!
After watching Tristan ride his car, Madilyn decides to get her bicycle out while we are all sitting on the front porch. She still rides her little bike that had the training wheels on it, just to be funny! So she breaks it out and we are laughing at her because it looks like a clowns bicycle because it's so little. Well Chris decided to get on it and we just knew the tires were going to blow out. We laughed so hard!!

Unfortunaltey I didn't get the camera out quick enough to get more pics of Chris, but we made Travis ride it too!

Help!!

Can somebody please tell me how to change the font on my page????? Thanks!

Birthday Weekend!

This past weekend was very hectic and busy for the lil man's party! Friday we did the yard work so it was fresh and neat! Then we went to mamaw's to get the tables and chairs for Saturday. When we came home we were greeted with helpers!! Stacy and Madilyn were there and Haley and her crew were there ready to help! So Tristan went with Aunt Stacy while we unloaded the stuff and decided the game plan for Saturday and where everything was going to go. When lil man went to sleep it was a much needed beverage time for me!! HA Saturday was up bright and early to get started. Mom, Tristan, and I went to Walmart and Bi-Lo to get all the last minute things and off to Wanda Reep's, who made the cake. It turned out really cute, and she made a small cake that was eggless for him. All day it looked like it was going to pour down rain at any moment! Well of course it waited until about 2 hours before time for the party to start for it to start raining! Just enough time for everything to get soaked, couldn't put up the jumpy thing mama had rented because it couldn't get wet, I couldnt decorate because of the rain! What a nightmare! I was soo upset. Finally it stopped come party time but was still very nasty out. The grass was wet, nobody wanted to get in the grass to sit at the tables because of this, so everyone ended up piling in our very small 1 car carport! Didn't bother the kids though, who spent all their time in the jumpy thing. Needless to say despite all of the weather issues we had fun and everything turned out great. Tristan was such a good boy and enjoyed every minute of it and was quite the silly little entertainer for everyone! After all the excitement, fun, and fellowship with good friends and family, he was tuckered out, but I think his mama was even more tuckered out!!!!!!

Lil Buddies

Tristan has a lil buddy, his name is Kayden. This is Travis' long time friend from high school, Dusty's, little boy. He is 6 months old and is just starting to crawl. Play dates with them now are very funny!! Dusty and Brittany came up the other week for them to play and Kayden all but attacked Tristan! He was trying to tackle him and Tristan did not know what to think of this! He just looked at him, then he would look at us like, "Will somebody please help me!" Of course Travis is not going to let this continue because Dusty and him are very competive with each other and have always been. So wrestling lessons have now begun for Tristan! HA I can't wait for them to talk either because they were just a jibberin away at each other! Too cute! Love Love Love these baby boys!!!!!

12 Month Check up

We went to the dredded dr appt today to see how Tristan is developing and get more yucky shots. The nurse said he was perfect, he is 50% in his weight and 75 in height!! He is growing and developing as he should be! He was such a good boy while the nurse was messing with him, just sitting on the table watching every move she made!! She said he was ahead of schedule with his teeth, as I figured he would be conisdering he has 12 now! As we wait for the dr to come in Tristan is being so silly. He loves to hear the paper rattle that is covering the table! Unfortunatley we have the dr that I don't really care for. He is a good dr, and nice, but he talks so fast and low I can't understand what he is saying for 1. Second, when I ask a question he doesn't give a good answer and no explanation with it. He seemed impressed with everything, but he did say he was going to have bucked teeth because he sucks his fingers and they are already sticking out farther than the bottom teeth. So I of course ask what the crap was supposed to do about that and he said to put mittens on his hands at night! HA HA This, to me is hilarious, Tristan didn't keep those mittens on when he was a baby he for sure is not going to keep them on now! I guess he will have bucked teeth, I can't do anything about it! I had them when I was little. If he is still sucking his fingers when his permanent teeth come in then I will figure something out. Until then he can have them fingers! He also said that if he wasn't saying anymore words in another month we needed to have that checked out. Really?? Since when does a 1 yr old have a vocabulary?? He says several things and I think that is good enough but I may be wrong. Anyway I am not a bit worried about my child and his speech at the moment! So after this mess, the nurse comes back in for a finger prick and 4 shots! So pitiful! I can't wait until this part of growing up is finished!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Tristan!!

Tristan,
Well, well we survived the first year of your life, like I knew we would, but I just can not believe how fast it went by!! I also can't believe all the changes you have made and what a wonderful little man you have grown up to! On your 1 yr birthday you are wearing 18 months clothes, size 4 diapers, size 4 shoes, although these are a little tight on your fat foot! You weigh 22.2 lbs and are 30 1/2 inches long! You have a whopping 12 teeth, the first 4 on top and bottom and all of your molars, which have given you a fit! You are standing by yourself and cruising some. You love pushing your little car and shopping cart. Although you have found you get places much faster by crawling while you push them so this is what you do a lot of the time! You are in this stage now where you want to be held, spoiled probably, but I'm going to say it's because you don't feel good because of your teeth! You say dadda, no no, you know what the lights are you point to them, and know what flowers are. You pass ball back and forth and you love to dance!! Any time music comes on you stand up and start moving that booty. You are starting to become Mr. Picky eater you love grits, any kind of bread, anything dealing with cheese, yogurt, Watermelon, chicken. You still like to have a bottle at night and in the morning, but that's about it. You are such a blessing to us and I love love love every minute I spend with you and you have learned how to give kisses and this just melts away EVERYBODIES hearts! You are such a sweet heart and I look forward to going home everyday and see your big smile and get a big wet kiss from you! I am saddened that you are growing up so fast and you aren't a precious little baby any more, however I love what you have become and look forward to many many more things that you bring! Of course I am late posting as always because your birthday was yesterday, but Happy Birthday my lil man!!! Mommy and Daddy loves you more than you will ever know! Can't wait for your party on Saturday!
A look back at the past WONDERFUL year!!
