2 month Check Up



Tristan's 2 month check up was May 1 and our little man is now 13.2 pounds and a little over 13 inches long!!! He had his shots which wasn't a lot of fun but he was a trooper about it. It's so much fun to watch him interact with his brothers now too-he responds to their voices and smiles and "talks" to them now. Garin is getting to be such an attentive big brother, making sure Tristan is happy and trying to help out when he cries. Now, if I could have gotten help with the big blow out last night-I didn't think one little body could produce so much poop!! It was up the front, the back and out the sides-getting the kid to the tub without everything getting covered in the stuff was a real challenge. Of course, all I got was a huge smile from him! Oh well, that's what babies do!! But he sure does love his daddy.

Jadda's Reception Fun!


April 25-26 we took the family to Otter Tail, MN-5 hours from Rochester-to attend a Wedding Reception for our cousin Jadda. We stayed at the Thumper Pond resort and it was a great time! There was an awesome water park for the kids and our room was on the same floor just steps away from the reception room and water park so it was so conveinent for everyone. We left bright and early on Saturday morning and arrived just after noon. Of course the boys hit the water park early and Tristan got to show off his new swim duds-no swimming in all that clorine just yet for the little man.


The afternoon was a lot of fun visiting with everyone in the Misbe clan and introducing Tristan. Cocktail hour began at 5 pm and the room was decorated absolutely beautifully and in true Jadda style with hot pink and white. The bride was gorgeous also, looking like a super model in her white strapless ballerina gown. I just didn't get that gene in the family I can tell you that! Dinner was fun sitting with the Cheney family catching up and teaching the kids how to eat a more formal dinner.


I don't have any girls in my house so I have to borrow other people's! And McKenzie is about one of the prettiest little girls I could hope to borrow. I have to confess that I would be totally lost trying to do her hair on a daily basis though!



Connor and Garin had fun talking to Tristan-he's getting to be so much fun!!!!



The dance got underway and fun was had by all. Tristan got his jammies on and partied in style.


Everyone hit the dance floor throughout the night-even mommy and daddy got out to dance to a few slow songs like in the old days. The DJ played lots of fun music from Country to Disco. Garin definitly got his grove on jamming to the beat. Mom tried to keep up but it was a real work out dancing with him!!!




Connor just chilled on the sidelines....











He did get brave and dance with his Gram-it was a special moment for both I think!!!
