Precious, precious precious!!

staying hydrated after our run;)
Precious, precious precious!! That is what I call my little boy all the time! He is just so precious to us and we are blessed beyond words.

We had a nice laid back weekend. Last week was pretty busy and crazy so it was a good break! I have recently discovered tripp's fascination with the mall. Mainly because he is nosey and likes to look around while we stroll along...but regardless it gets us out of the house and to one of mommy's favorite spots;) He likes it when we cruise around and lets me know how much he doesn't like to stop and look! So if I get lucky enough for him to fall asleep I might get a chance to do a little shopping:)

Tripp is getting more into everything! He loves to pull my decorative towel off of the oven handle whenever he zooms around the kitchen in his jeep and likes to run over whenever he hears the dishwasher open to see what he can get his hands on! When he gets really fussy in his jeep he will ride right over to my heels...literally...and grab on to my pants until I pick him up. He's a lil stinker but I love him to pieces!!

Tripp has been sleeping much better these days and may not be an insomniac afterall;) This is great for me....I dont feel like a zombie these days!! Plus, carl helps out on the weekends so it does allow me to get a little more sleep. Although, I think I have learned to function well on little sleep...guess its another "super power" us mommys are equiped with;)

Like I mentioned before we had a nice laid back weekend. Saturday I attended a wedding shower for carl's sweet cousin jennie. It was fun seeing all the ladies and carl and tripp got some male bonding time in:) On saturday night, I was a very lucky girl who got to go on a date with two very handsome boys...carl and tripp:) We went to gringos and sat out on the patio. Tripp was soooo good and enjoyed people watching of course! It definitely helped that we were outside because Lord knows that little boy LOVES to be outside! Today we started off our day wth an awsome church service then spent the rest of the day cleaning, running errands and having some family time:) It was a really nice weekend.

Here are some pictures from our week/weekend....enjoy!

Weekend Pictures

precious baby!!
We are loving the weather and enjoying lots of family time outside! We had another fun low-key weekend. Carl and I even got to sneak away for a nice sunday afternoon movie date while tripper had some fun with his grammy and coach! We topped off our sunday with a yummy late lunch at yayas! It was a great weekend! Here are some fun pictures from the weekend.

Here is what carl refers to as our "white trash ping-pong table"! We sure have had some fun! Hey, dining room tables serve more purpose than just eating;)

  • loves gerber puffs and yogurt bites

  • usually eats 1/2-1 whole jar of baby food at dinner and half at lunch, plus yogurt and puffs too!

  • will open his mouth wide when he wants more food!

  • will drink water out of his sippee cup

  • runs circles around the kitchen in his jeep walker...is very fast, especially when he sees his daddy!

  • sccots around the living room (not quite crawling yet)

  • likes to sit outside and play

  • talks a lot!

  • loves to scream

  • also likes to eat gerber bitter biscuits

Those are just a few changes in the past few months. Needless to say this little boy keeps me plenty busy! He usually takes 2 good naps everyday....so mommy gets a little break;) Tripp is overall a very happy little boy and we just love him to pieces!


We had a great weekend this past weekend and have been enjoying the weather! Friday night we went over to erik and kristen's to have dinner and celebrate uncle erik's birthday! On saturday, we went to the pumpkin patch and had a blast! Tripp loved seeing all the kiddos running around and was really fascinated with all the pumpkins. Mommy had fun taking lots of pictures! Later carl and I took tripp on a long bike ride and tripp loved it! It was a nice laid back weekend. Sunday we started off by watching a nice online service while tripp was napping, spent some time outside and later had our parents and my grandparents over for dinner. It was a great weekend!


Now here is our past week/weekend in pictures....enjoy!
