New "Do"

Yesterday we got Tristan's hair cut for the first time! Sad but exciting at the same time. Sad because he is definitley no longer a baby, he now has a little boy "Do"!! I couldn't have been more proud of him! We took him to Gina, the lady that cuts mine, against Travis's will! He wanted him to go to Donna the lady that has cut his hair since he was a little boy, but she couldn't get him in for another week so we went ahead and took him to Gina for this time! I took his shirt off so we didn't get hair all in it, then put a bib on him because she had a sucker to give him. Then she put the cape on him and he never said a word just looked around. Travis got in the chair and sat him on his lap. He wasn't sure about the sucker at first, made some pretty wild faces, then he grew to like it a bit. So she started around his ears and he just had his normal expression on his face trying to figure out what she was doing! After a few licks off the sucker he had had enough of it so I started to get worried, but he continued to sit there like a big boy and look around! She cut a little bit off the top and back to even it up but left his bangs alone. After we were finished she seen she missed a spot so she got the clippers out just to see if he would be scared of those, but nope not him! He just looked at them! Needless to say he is even more handsome now and is proud of his "new do"!!

After


And we were all worried for nothing!!

Still trying to figure out what just happened!

Fun Time out with Friends

Friday night we had the chance to go out with some of our good friends to the "Last" Brooks and Dunn concert with Jason Aaldene. This was a much needed break from the parenting world! We had such a wonderful time and it was well over due!! We haven't been to a concert in years and it brought back the dating/teenage memories for us! I sure did miss my little one though, can't wait to be able to take him to a concert and have him up on daddy's shoulders! Can't wait till next time around, hopefully we will make it a little earlier so we can tailgate!

Awful Parent Award!

So I debated on wether to post this or not but I'm sure worst things have happened to other people!! Sunday morning started out like normal, early wake up call then back for a nap. To bad he can't learn to just sleep a little longer! Anyway after his nap daddy brings him in to get in bed with me because we like to play on our bed. Well before I even knew, he had started crawling so fast he falls off the side of the bed, luckily I caught him before he landed on his head!! Scare#1! So then we enjoyed an afternoon at some of our friend's family pool. Well being the little nosey thing he is, he won't take a nap unless he is secluded in a room where no action is! So we had to leave early due to him being so tuckered out! When we get home I put him straight in his crib thinking he would go right to sleep, well he played in his bed for a while then it got quite. So I am thinking he is finally asleep. Well.. next thing I know I hear a loud thud which made my heart drop to my toes! I ran in there, and there he was sitting on his butt in the middle of the floor. So now we have learned that he is pulling up to a standing position!!! What a way to learn. He was okay, Thank God! Scare #2! So we lowered the crib mattress as low as it will go to prevent this from happening again. So as we are doing this he is playing on his mattress on the floor and rolls off of it and hits his head on the dresser. OMG at this point I just wanted to cry with my little man! I'm sure he was so ready to go back to mamaw's on Monday morning. I felt like the worst mother ever!

Memorial Day Weekend

So we were so happy to have a 3 day weekend to spend with our family and precious little boy! Friday night Trav, Tristan and I took a little shopping trip to Hickory. What good sales everyone had! I love good deals! Saturday came and Stacy, my sister, and I got started on the project of my new flower bed on the side of the house. As we slaved away Tristan enjoyed the company of Madilyn and Mason, Madilyn's very closest friend and boyfriend(He He)! We bought Tristan his first kiddie pool so they played and splashed with him.



Stay tuned for future pics of my Flowers bed!
Sunday was a wonderful day spent at my parents grilling and eating delicious foods and playing outside. Madilyn got a new 4-wheeler so we had to test it out!! Tristan loves riding!

He was not very happy when they stopped and had to get off to eat Watermelon! However he sure did love his first bites of it! He about bit Aunt Stacy's finger off! Then mamaw and papaw had to come and see Mr. Man in his new pool.
Monday unfortunatley the weather did not cooperate for any fun festivities outside so we took the day and visited Bonnie and Steven, then off to Mamaw and Papaw Towery's. He fell asleep 5 minutes from their house so I tried to quietly get him out so I could lay him back down. What a joke!! We were doing good until we seen Papaw Ronnies motorcycle and he perked right up. So he got to play with Zach. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. We sure did!

New Face

Well below are some pics of the new face my silly little boy has! Can't really tell what this means, he does it all the time!!!


I forsee these as being wonderful black mail pictures when the dating starts!
