Trysten's Second Birthday

I am back to work after my two weeks vacation for Trysten's birthday. I had a great time just being off and spending time with the family. We didn't have a party for Tryst but we went to SA to visit my mother for the 4th of July to see the fireworks and go to Sea World.

We started his birthday out with donuts, his favorite.




He really didn't know what to do with the candle, Dustin had to blow it out for him.



Fourth of July, waiting for the fireworks. We had so much fun, Dustin's uncle and parents came in for the fireworks.


The view from my mother's balcony, the Tower of America.


I guess Harlowe was a little excited to see the fireworks.


 The fireworks from my mother's balcony. It was so loud and so close, we could feel the vibrations. Trysten was so scared he ran inside, but eventually came back outside. Harlowe did pretty well, she wasn't scared at all.

And to tell you the truth, when it first started I was kinda startled because it was so loud.






We had a great time but poor Dustin got into some poison ivy before we left and he looked liked the Nutty Professor. Somehow he rubbed his eyes and they were so swollen, I wish I could post a pic but he would literally kill me. It was so funny but he was so miserable, I really felt bad for him. Although I guess I didn't show it enough because he said he would never want me as his nurse because I have a poor bedside manner, ha. I guess I wasn't compassionate enough.

My baby is two years old and he is such a handful but I love him so much. I just want to hug him and kiss him all day long.

He is totally a boy's boy, he loves to climb on things, jump, hit and kick. He is a strong willed little person, he knows what he wants and he is determined to tell you. He loves his sister to death and tries to copy everything she does. He will look for her and doesn't want to leave her side. It really is so cute.

Happy Birthday Trysten, you are my heart and we love you very much. You are a wild one but you are the most loving person. You love to have fun, you love for Dustin to spin you around until you are sick. You are fearless and you want to do everything yourself.

Dustin and I are so lucky and blessed to be your parents. You make us laugh, you make us smile, you make us better parents everyday.
