Snaggle Tooth

Well it's happened!!!! Tristen has lost his first tooth! I knew this day would be coming I just wasn't ready for it. It is so crazy how a tooth falling out makes him seem so much more grown up. It changed his whole look. I'm starting to realize he's not my baby anymore...and that's really hard for me. I have to admit I did cry over this. I think it was a mixture of him growing up and also having this huge whole in his teeth. I know that is a little vain but I really wasn't looking forward to the snaggle tooth days. He had the perfect little teeth and now with one tooth missing it changes everything:) In my book...he is still the cutest little boy I've ever seen!!!! He cracks me up because he is constantly starring at himself in the mirror. He thinks he is just too cool because he is missing a tooth and can't wait for his other teeth to fall out!!! It won't be long either! All of the sudden both bottom teeth are loose to. I'm actually really surprised we made it this far. When Tristen fell back in January and hit his two front teeth in the bathroom I knew it wouldn't be long. The denist told us that his teeth had trama to them and they would probably be coming out in about 6 months. So exactly 6 months later and a little wrestling with his Uncle Jon Jon...we have a snaggle tooth on our hands. Did I mention we had to call everyone we know ( not really but close)? Rylee was first on the list! Ever since Rylee starting losing her teeth Tristen has been anxiously waiting his turn. She was so sweet and very excited for him! Then it came time for the tooth fairy. OH my!!!! He was in bed a hour before his normal bedtime because he was so excited!!!

Putting his tooth under his pillow.

Then he woke us up in the middle of the night to show and tell us that the Tooth Fairy had came!

I liked to have a talk with who ever came up with the Tooth Fairy! It isn't a very bright idea to put the tooth under the pillow. Seriously do you know how hard it is to get a tooth out from under a pillow without waking your sleeping angel. And then have to move their head again to stuff money under there. Wheeewww...I should get a Academy award for that! It's a lot harder than it looks :) It was a success though!!

As Tristen say's " Mom I'll be your baby for a long time!! See all these baby teeth I have left".

Are we there yet?????

Well I can't actually tell you how many times i've heard that in the car, but lets just say ENOUGH! As most of you know we went on a quick road trip to Clovis, New Mexico. We were there and back in less than 72 hours. Our purpose for such a short in time... long in drive trip..well to take GeeGee to see her sisters and drop her off to stay a few weeks. So Tristen, Bentley (of course) and I went along for the ride so my mom wouldn't have to drive back by herself. As usual we had a blast. We left early Sunday morning or should I say we were suppose to leave early, but we were traveling with my mother...if you know what I mean! haha. Finally getting on the road at about 9 am after picking up GeeGee and a trip through the Starbucks drive thru. We headed down 20 with no problems and just a few "Are we there yet" for the next couple of hours. At this point I was starving as I'm always hungary! So I get out my iphone...okay okay (Yes I had been on it the whole time) and look for places to eat in Abilene. I find the perfect place!!! Abuelo's...my favorite!!!! So with a few wrong turns and stopping for directions we finally get there. The only problem...it's 100 outside and my sweet very spoiled yorkie can't stay in the car. So the only option... take him inside! So Bentley joined us for lunch! I was successful in smuggling him in ..in my handbag. He was perfect and slept on my lap under the table the whole time.

So now our tummies were happy and we were back on the road for 5 more hours with lots of "Are we there yet'". Let's just say 5 very longgggg hours! Finally arriving at our destination at about 6pm. We were welcomed with a very yummy spagettii dinner and lots hugs. I forgot to mention that it was also GeeGee's 73rd birthday...June 14th! So we had a little party for her after dinner with cake and ice cream. We spent the rest of our time there swimming, relaxing and catching up with our family who we don't get to see near enough.

We had a great time!!! It ended all to soon. Tristen had a really hard time leaving GeeGee there and cried for about a good hour! We had a long but safe trip home! I have seen my share of McDonalds, wind turbens (not the correct spelling...I never said I'm a genius) and flat land for a while. I am a little disappointed that my camera battery only last a few pictures and then died. Overall Tristen did awesome!!!!!! He is a great traveler!!

It will never be the same again!

So lets start off with I'm way over due for blogging...actually about 2 weeks behind. The problem isn't that I haven't had anything to blog about...it's that I have so much to blog and not enough time to do it. I think this is acutally the first time I've sat down at my computer in a week and not just payed bills. Thank God for the iphone I have no idea what I would do without it.! It lets me do all the necessary things like check and update my Facebook and check my emails. Haha! I know what your thinking. That's the reason I love it because I can do it waiting in line at the grocery store , while I'm getting my nails done or waiting to pick Tristen up from camp (I'll talk more about that later). Well summer is in full swing around here. So that means my little man graduated Pre-k...yes I can't believe it! I know it's been over 2 weeks since this took place but I have to share.

It happened so fast. How is it that my baby is going to be in Kindergarten next year! Really that's just not possible. I mean I'm still 20 how can I have a Kindergartener. Okay so I'm not 20 but I do still feel it. I can't believe we have already finished a year at Holy Cross. It has been the best experience all around. He had the most amazing teacher's this year. Mrs.Brannon and Mrs.Thomas were both great blessings to Tristen and our family. I absoultly loved his Pre-K promotion that they put on. All the kids sang and danced and put on a great show! I'm amazed at how much he has learned over the year. Here are just a few things they accomplished...they can count to 40 and above, know their days of the week and months of the year, recognize all the letters and write them in uppercase and lowecase, recognize and write numbers 1 -20, sound out 3 letter words, and so much more that I would be at this computer all night! All of the kids got certificates for completing Pre-k. Then Mrs.Brannon went on to make all the parents cry. She talked about all the kids and what she is going to miss about each of them. She said she is going to miss "Little Man" running throught the door each morning and giving her a hug with so much love it literally almost knocks you over. Gosh I just love her!! Well after all the tears we had a awesome reception I must say myself...since I put it on. On a side note..Let me just say Room mom is way more than you can ever imagine, but of course I'll do it again next year! We had punch, cupcakes, cheese and crackers, cucumber sandwiches and a yummy fruit tray. I do have to say I was very disappointed in the balloon tree I got at Party Warehouse for the table. It would even stand up. Hello arent those things suppose to have helium in them. Well so much for my $12 laying on it's side balloon tree...the party was still a hit!

Tristen's getting his certificate!

My sweet boy!!!

After we couldnt' stuff are faces anymore we gave Mrs. Brannon and Mrs.Thomas their end of the school year gift. I had all the students give money and I made them each a bench...please see picture below.

Also we had each child and their parent write a letter to give to them. We just wanted to make sure they knew how much we appreciated and loved them.

This was a really emotional day for me...as my friend Sarah would say "I don't know if I'm crying because he's going to be in Kindergarten or if it's because I have to spend the next 12 weeks with him." lol

On to the next chapter...Kindergarten here we come!!! It will never be the same again!!!

Allstars...

I just had to brag on my little ball player!! He got voted by his team and his coaches for Allstars!!! Only 3 players on his team were selected. I am so proud of him. He has improved so much this season. It has just all of the sudden clicked for him. In the fall I was still yelling for him to pay attention, run faster, stop picking daisies, telling him to get his glove off his head and quit picking his nose! Okay..okay I still tell him to quit picking his nose! He is really enjoying it!! He loves playing pitcher and first base. I get so excited when he gets the ball and throws it to 1st to get'em out. I never imagined I be one of those crazy baseball moms....but here I am. Not to mention I've come along way. I actually know what hand his glove goes on and what postion he plays on the field! After all he's accomplised this season we have decided to not let him play Allstars. It's just to much for a 5 year old. Tournaments every weekend playing 5 to 6 games a day in 100 degree weather. I think we will wait a few more seasons....mommy just not ready for all that!

A Day at the BallPark

We enjoyed a Sunday afternoon at The Ballpark in Arlington...it was actually a little chilly. It's not normal for it to be 64 in MAy. We left the house around 3pm for a 7:05pm game because Matt's a little crazy....first we had to go to Academy and get the whole family Rangers shirts.

So we can support our team. He wanted to get there early enough to watch batting practice...which we did.

We were there before the gates were even open! It was a blast! We meet several of the fireman on B shift and their familes there. Our seats where awesome....lower level 1st base side. About half way through the game we went and sat on the Homerun porch with everyone else .

My favorite part of course is the food!!!! We had popcorn, peanuts, cracker jacks, jumbo dog,

2 super nachos, water and soda! oh so yummy!!!!

Tristen had lots of fun watching the game and playing with Coby and Kyler. We will have to do that again really soon!

And the Game ball goes to .......Tristen!!!

Little man had 2 T-ball games on Saturday...seriously the windy was crazy! I was covered in a fine mist of ball field dirt...yuck. I still have dirt in my handbag...I continue to find it in more places each day. Oh the joys of T-ball. After every game the coach gives out the game ball. If you have no clue as to what that is...as I am just now learning! It goes to the player who played exceptionally well or made a great play. So Tristen has been asking me before each game if he is gonna get the game ball. I tell him the same thing every game.....stay focused, hit the ball hard and get'm out...and you'll get it! Well he finally got it!

It was the cutest thing....he was so excited. He gave his coach the biggest hug and kiss and said Thank You! Then he ran over to me and said "mom I knew that was coming." He had the biggest grin on his face or as I call it The Moseley smirk...just like his daddy! I just wanted to kiss his face off....he is so darn cute! I just love when he gets all excited and is so proud of himself. My little boy is actually turning into a really good little ball player..what should I expect it runs in his genes...well at least his daddy's side! I just had to share these cute pics I took of him!

He fell asleep with it....so precious!
