Trystan's 7th Birthday

Trystan is 7!!! Hard to believe that he was 3 when we moved here and is now way taller, older, and so much more mature!
He had to go to school that day but we gave him what he wanted for breakfast (an english muffin with butter), and let him open his present from G/G Grant.
He chose Domino's for dinner and a Oreo cake from Fairway for dessert.
He was showered with gifts and phone calls from family. I also made cupcakes for all his classmates and teachers at school.
On the following Saturday he invited a few friends and had a party. They all had a blast.
We love our Trystan very much!!

Back to School

This year back to school was on September 6th. Trystan was very excited and not nervous at all! He absolutely loves school! His Grade 2 teacher's name is Mrs.O'Keefe. He's in a Grade 1/2 class. He likes it better than he thought he would. His Grade 1 classroom is right next door so he used to walk by it daily. He thought it looked boring and that all they do is work, but he has been pleasantly surprised that it's not that way at all. Funny kid!
Mrs.Lee (the principal) said he's in the perfect class for his needs. Mrs.O'Keefe is apparently the number one teacher as far as literacy. So she will be good for the pace that Trystan is comfortable with. Being in a grade 1/2 class will also give him the chance to feel like a leader and be a leader and help out the grade 1's.
I'm happy with things and so is Trystan!
I'm sure he'll have a fabulous year. I'm really not worried about him at all, he's such a smarty pants! :)

Summer 2011

Well Summer has come and gone. It went by fast as usual. Our weather was ok, not too hot. We didn't go to the beach once this Summer. Didn't really feel like it until school was in. LOL. Isn't that how it goes!

So our Summer consisted of babysitting Seth and Kira for a few weeks, a visit from Oma and Opa, water park, picnics, park, relaxing aka Jammie Days, and a visit to Kamloops.








Oma and Opa stayed for three weeks. We did some shopping, lots of cooking, and hanging out and enjoying each others company. It was a very nice visit. They are already planning their trip to come next Summer too. :) I don't have any pics of them on my camera since we didn't have our new one when they were here. I have a few on my phone and they sent us some actual photos.

Babysitting Seth and Kira was nice. They are loved by us and we love to have them over. Although sometimes the kids fight like cats and dogs; but that's what happens when people are friends.

Kamloops was nice as well. We did lots and lots of shopping, played outside in the water, hung out with the Johnsons. Kamloops wasn't too hot when we were there, low and high 20s. I'm used to it being close to 40. But it was actually kind of nice. 40 is just way too hot.





















Overall we had a very eventful Summer.

Trystan is happy to be back at school, Kobe is happy to be back at school, and Tiffani and I are enjoying our alone time with each other and to be back in a routine.
