Easter at the Hutchinson's
The Hutchinson's invited us over for a delicious Easter dinner and then we got to play a game of soccer in the huge back yard. As you can see Triston was in heaven.
Nate and Quinn could not get enough horse shoes this weekend. They look so cute together in their matching jeans :)
Happy Easter!
Some of our friends from the complex we live in had an Easter Egg hunt for the kiddos. I didn't really think that Triston would understand that he was supposed to find the eggs but he did. He had so much fun! Thanks neighbors for inviting us!!!
Sorry the pictures are a little blurry...I haven't quite figured out how to use Quinn's high tech camera.
Here is a picture of Triston and his buddies. It was finally sort of warm this day!!!!
No more "Moobee's"
So Triston has become obsessed with watching the movie (or in Triston's words, "Moobee") Cars. We have to spend the majority of our day outside or he will want to watch Cars over and over while also playing with cars. So we spend a lot of time at the park.
Triston decided he was too cool to go down the slide with his mom, so he now does it by himself! This is not a small slide...I thought for sure he would get scared on the way down and cry. Obviously I was wrong. :)
When he got to the bottom he would just lay on his back and laugh hysterically.
Triston is very confused by construction cones...he just stares at them forever like they aliens or something. He really does this every time we come outside.
Yes, we live in a construction zone. It can be very annoying when we are trying to get in and out of our complex but it is very entertaining for Triston. We stand outside and watch the tractors for hours.

Ode to Motherhood
Over the last few days Triston has been experiencing some serious agony. Not only does he have huge, sharp teeth piercing his perfectly tender little gums, he also the reddest, rawest, most swollen little bottom in the world. Needless to say, Triston in not a "good teether". The poor kid has been so miserable as his teeth continue popping up all over his mouth.
After spending all of Friday night in the rocking chair, singing, cuddling, and rubbing desitin all over that red little bum, I realized why I absolutely love being a Mom. Never in my life did I think that I could function for two days with NO sleep (that's right - NONE). Nor did I think that I would ever want to play cars for hours on end. I thought that messes (i.e.: my MAC eyeshadow as finger paints - ha!) would make me frustrated to no end. However, it seems that once a woman becomes a mother, something inside her changes. Not to say that I can always handle everything that little Triston throws my way without getting upset or exhausted...it just seems that motherhood gives you a different outlook on life.
Instead of being bothered that I am up all night, I am thinking I am so grateful that I get to spend a few extra hours with this child as he is growing so quickly and won't be a child for long at all (keep in mind this was not my mind set when he wasn't sleeping though the night). When he refuses to play on his own and insists that I stop whatever it is I am doing and join him, I am thinking how wonderful it is that he makes me feel like I am the most important person in the world (the only one that plays cars just the way he likes). And when I am feeding him his lunch and digs his little hands into the bowl of peas and starts throwing them all over the room, I am thinking why did I bother to vacuum this morning??? Ha! No, I really do wonder that sometimes, but when I hear his sweet laugh and I know that he thinks he is truly hilarious, I can't help but laugh with him.
Motherhood has changed my life and I can't ever imagine my life without my little Triston. What an amazing blessing he has been in the lives of Quinn and I. It has definately been very challenging at times, but over all it has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
I love being a mom.
