Tristen is so big.

Tristen is getting so big, lately he insists on putting on his own clothes and this is how it turned out. I told him his pants were backwards but he said no mommy.

Michael is done!!!

Michael is done with school!! Well at least this part of his schooling, he is still going to Finnish and get a Bachelors. I am so Proud of him and cant wait for him to get a job so we can start the next chapter in our lives.

Lucy's quilt.

Well baby Lucy will be here soo soon and I thought this time around i would make her a quilt for her bed. I hope you all think it turned out ok. I thought i did a pretty good job. we are soo excited to have a baby girl(although i still somewhat think she is going to come out a he) we will see though..

just fun times.

When we got home from out trip my sister called and said we had left a few things so she had my Grandma mail them and it was a small box but Tristen thought it made the best car. he played with it till it fell apart(dont you think it great how you spend money on kids toys and they always love the things that are free. and he is always the cheeser please excuse his dirty face..

Mini golfing

We went Mini golfing this last week for FHE. It was the first time we had ever taken Tristen(sorry about the poor quality of the picture is was with my phone and it was dark). It was soo fun to take Tristen and he really loved it he tried soo hard to hit the ball in the hole but would sometimes just give up and pick it up and put it in the hole. Ps dont you just love how they are both not looking at the camera such boys.

A few pictures from Oregon

We had sooo much fun on our trip to Oregon. We stayed with our good Friends the Smiths. They have a little girl that is just older then Tristen and they had lots of fun together even though they fought over everything. we also went to bend for a day and saw some friends, and went to the coast for a few days to spend time with family my sister and her family came from Canada and sorry I dont have any pictures from that i forgot my camera i am soo bad at that. but it was sooo nice and fun..

Fun day with Nathan

It has really been so fun here in Utah. a while ago we took Tristen and His Friend Nathan to 7 peaks water park and then to see the movie cars 2(we had free tickets). it was sooo much fun and both of the boys loved spending the day together.

baby number 2

Well Baby LUCY is on the way thats right if you did not know now you do we are having number 2 and it is a girl and she will be here the beginning of November and we cant wait. We were so excited to find out and I was for sure that it was another boy cause I want to be done having kids although nothing is set in stone yet and I thought it was Gods way to make us think again up there laughing telling me you thought you were only going to have to well here is to boys not that it would be bad but i feel so lucky to be having a girl and yes we are going to name her LUCY. I feel like the time has gone so fast with this one i am over half done and just sooo excited.

man way to long.

Well it has been way to long since i have updated things have just been so busy and crazy. For those who dont know we have moved back to Utah. Michael is in school going to the police academy he has finished and passed the first part and starts the second and last part on the 2. I am working full time in a salon(not getting paid all that well but tips make up for it thankfully) We have listed our house on the market(we did that like 2 weeks ago) Tristen is doing really well he turns two next month and we are excited he is really growing to be so fun and so smart. He really loves his dad so much they do everything together. sometimes it makes me a little jealous. He loves to go to the pool and go down the water slides that they have there it really makes us laugh. he loves shoes he always has to have them on no matter what he is doing. if we dont put them on first thing in the morning he goes and gets them and puts them on himself sometimes on the right feet and sometimes on the wrong. He is in a stage now that he wants to do everything all by himself even get in bed. we have put him in a regular big kids bed and he really loves it he will tell us night night just so he can go lay in it. we just love this kid.

Easter

We had so much fun with Tristen this year for Easter! Michael and his parents took him to a church Easter egg hunt and they said he just loved it Micheal even said Tristen really likes to help the other kids get eggs too(he is so thoughtful) We got him a Easter basket with a bball in it he loves bball he loves to go to the park and heads straight to the court to cheer the kids playing or if he sees it on tv he gets so excited and just stars at it and says ball and jumps up and down when they make a hoop! it is so cute(he is going to be a real sports kid to bad i think he is going to be a little short when it comes time to play) we also colored eggs but i have to get those pictures from michaels mom so i will post those later.

Tristen is a cheeser!

Tristen just loves to say cheese whenever you pull out the camera to get a cute picture of something he is doing he stops and says cheese and gives you the most corny smile it is so cute.

fun times

Well i know it has really been a long time since I posted. things have been so crazy! We have not moved back to Utah(we had to rent out our house and leave our wonderful jobs) but we feel like being here is the right thing to do. Michael is planning on going back to school starting this January and I am working in a really nice salon in Riverton.
Tristen is doing so well he is getting really big and starting to talk a lot more.(well using words cause we all know the boy can scream and babble.
Michael and I and his family got to go on a cruise it was our anniversary/birthday/Christmas gifts. we had loads of fun and are even planning to take another in two years. we got to go to Jamaica, Haiti, and Cozumel. we were supposed to go to grand cayman but got rained out. we really had soo much fun I wish I could be there all the time. I put a bunch of pictures up just know that this is not even a third of the pictures we took. we miss and love you all.
