Wow it has been awhile. Well in November Jacove and Leif flew Tristan and I out to visit them in Denver. We had a blast! We spent Thanksgiving with them, went to the Zoo, went for a little hike, and Lyndsey and Jocelyn took us to Little Monkey Bizness. Tristan LOVED it there and we were sad and happy to come home. Tristan learned how to say No and now that is his favorite word to say. He started to go to nursery and that hasn't been going very well. But he has started to like baths:) I thought I would never see that day. AJ finished the semester and is looking forward to going back on January 10. He is also excited to see Tristan open Christmas presents.

Had a GREAT Halloween! Tristan went Trick or Treating and he loved to pick out the candy and then he would turn and say thank you. We were 1920's mobsters Tristan was so cute. AJ had to work but I made sure that we got a picture with all of us!

Ok I know it has been a while but I am finally writing! AJ and I went on a date. We took my parents rhino and we went all over by their house. I ordered Tristan a Fedora hat for Halloween and he loves it. He was very excited to have it on while he was "driving". We went to St. George and Tristan and AJ went into the McDonald's play place and they were having a blast neither of them wanted to come out. Then Aunt Amber came down and Tristan LOVED being in her hammock he thought that it was the best toy ever.

Ok well we have had a great last week, AJ finally had a day off in 3 weeks, Tristan took 2 steps without our help (he was falling while he took them but they count!), Tristan had his first horse ride, and we found out that he is afraid of piglets. We went the the Iron county fair and they had a petting zoo. They had a lot of cute animals and the little pigs came up and sniffed Tristan's hand and he started to scream.

Ok so I just ran my 2nd 5k and I finished at 37:20. Last weekend we took Tristan to St. George and we went to the water park there. Tristan hated to be set down in the water but he was fine just walking in it. I would think he would of loved to play in the water on a hot day and the water was warm, but of course Tristan hated it like he always does. Oh well what are you going to do about it ;)

Wow we have been very busy! Let me see we had Zana and Noah in town for awhile and T.T loved playing with them. Then Aunt Jacove, Uncle Leif, and Ewan came to visit and he loved playing with Aunt Cove (she is the only one that got him to take a nap at Grandma Jan's). We went to Old Iron Town and I think he had more fun steeling Linc's sippy than he did being outside. We also went to the 4Th of July parade, he loved when there was candy thrown because it caused all the kids to run but he got bored and fell asleep half way through the parade. After they left he got his first tooth on July 9 and shortly after he got his 2nd tooth both on the top. Then they went home and then a week later Aunt Amber, Uncle Sam and their family came and we went camping. T.T hated being in the dirt. He loved being in his pack n' play and he LOVED the tent. Also I ran my first 5k and I had a good time I finished 36.39 min. :)

Tristan had his 1st birthday party this weekend. We celebrated with Lincoln and had a combined party at my Mom's house. Tristan didn't want anything to do with the presents, he just wanted to play with the balloons. He got 2 cute outfits, 2 deck of cards, a truck with a little man in it, a ball, a helicopter, 2 squishy blocks, several books, 3 cars, a hammer, a ride/ walking toy, a shape bug, 2 monkeys, a pop up toy, a movie, a stuffed Christmas dog (from Shelby), a couple of rattle rings, and a picture of him

Well Tristan started to crawl like Mogli off of Jungle Book. He gets up on his hands and feet and crawls like that to get over things. He also started to pull himself up to things. He is getting the hang of things now. AJ just got back from California and he had a blast. He got so sunburned, he was beating red and I think he will get blisters on his back. AJ also started his new job this week.

Well AJ just got a job working over at Radio Shack! He will start Thursday after he gets back from California. He leaves tomorrow with Abe, Aaron, and Arlo. I am going to really miss him for the next couple of nights ;) We just had a fun time in St George yesterday, we went to a park and saw John Heder. AJ and Arlo got their picture taken with him. Tristan had a lot of fun playing in the water at the park. Last night Tristan got angry at me because I wasn't going to let him get in the bath, I have never seen him get mad about not taking a bath, so I let him take a bath with

Shelby and Wyatt.

Well I just found out that I have low thyroid so that means everyone in my family besides my Dad has thyroid problems. Tristan has been doing well he loves to follow me around the house. He was making faces at his Uncle Arlo last night at dinner they were too cute of faces. AJ still hasn't found a job but we are praying that he will soon.

Tristan is finally crawling after the longest time. He has a little hop to get forward but he is doing it!

I went to the doctor today and he told me that I have an ear infection and it isn't common in adults but mostly children. So I feel very special that I have something a child gets... maybe that is telling me something?

Well Tristan just got his very FIRST hair cut by his Aunt Angie. He did very well, there was no tears, or any fussing at that. He enjoyed it. Now he looks like a little boy. I can't believe how much hair came off of him.

Tristan's first Easter was great!! We had a lot of fun spending time with family. He played in the dirt and ate some of it as well. I was surprised of how well he did considering how windy it was. He Loved it. He Loved seeing Jacqie, Wlad, Granny, Lyle, Marj, Mindy, Walker, Casey, Candice, Briley, Angie, Sean, Lincoln, Eli, Grandma, and Grandpa. He had a blast! We just wished AJ could have been there to see it all.

So Tristan has his first yeast infection I think. We don't know for sure until we take him into the Doctor on Monday. We had Shelby and Wyatt home for a week now and I have been babysitting those two all week and for another week until Kristine comes home with Ryley. They have been good but they are wild! Tristan LOVES having them home. He loves watching Wyatt run around and laughs whenever he talks to him. The other night AJ and I looked into Tristan's crib and it looked like he was trying to escape before he fell asleep. It was cute

So last week we had a scare. Tristan's Aunt Lyndsey found a lump in the back of her head, but it turns out to be nothing to worry about. Thank goodness. We also took the pacifier away from Tristan and that has not been fun but he is getting better about falling asleep without it... now if only he would stay asleep. Yesterday we had a new little bundle of joy join our family. Tristan's Aunt Kristine and Uncle Arlo welcomed a handsome little boy into the world Ryley Daniel Fawson. He was 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 1/2 inches. I can't wait until they get home so I can see him.

So last Friday we found out Tristan has a double chronic ear infection. We got some medicine for him and he seams to be doing a lot better. He doesn't have a bad cough anymore or a runny nose. He had a fun day Saturday with his Grandma's while AJ and I went to the temple and to a wedding reception and a movie.

YAY!! Tristan just got his new car seat today. I am so excited! AJ just finished up two of his classes and now he doesn't have school on Wednesday or Fridays:) We tried to get Tristan to hold himself up against the couch and that didn't happen, he fell over a couple of times and just started to laugh every time he fell so that back fired on us.

Well lets see, there hasn't been much happening with us lately. AJ is just goes to school and to work while I stay home with Tristan. We did however have a little scare last night, Tristan woke up at 3:00am and acted like he was having a hard time breathing, so AJ sat him up and tried to figure out what was going on. I told him he was acting like he was in pain and AJ sat him on the floor and decided to change his diaper. Come to find out Tristan had a diaper rash and once we changed his diaper he was fine. Tristan learned how to clap yesterday and it is very cute. He also loves to eat Eli but Eli isn't a fan of that. Still no crawling yet but he does spin in circles on the floor.

well Tristan had his 6 month check up a month late thanks to a cold, but he is in the 80% for his head, 75th for his height and 25th for his weight. So in AJ's words he is an orange on a toothpick. AJ is now going to school and working at the school. Tristan is now sitting up by himself, but still not crawling. He loves to watch Word World in the mornings.
