Florida

Tristan and I left on May 15 for Florida with my mom! And returned just yesterday! We had a blast! :) As you can see from mom's 3 blogs we had tons of rain..only about 3 days of sunshine..so didn't really get much of a tan..oh well. We still had lots of fun! Tristan still loves the pool but is not too sure about the ocean. He did like eating the sand, but didn't like when the water touched him. haha..still had to get a video of him in the ocean. So here are a few pictures of our trip to Florida! Enjoy!

Beautiful sunset!

Yummy sand!

I love this statue!

Tristan got lots of baths..this time it wasn't in the sink

This is the last sunset we saw (well the last one on the beach)

Emma & Tristan did get along some of the time..they are holding hands here. Cute!

Pool time!


This was Tristan's true feelings about the ocean!
We went to the Mote Aquarium.

I love these flowers!

Tristan loved to put toys that didn't belong in the tube..so when he did that the toy ended up not working..it was hilarious..we would find beads and little people in the tube.

Thanks Mom for letting us come to Florida with you! We had lots of fun!

I love taking pictures!!

For those of you that don't know! I love taking pictures!! :) I already have over 1,000 pictures of Tristan and he's not even a year old yet! Crazy! I got the Bontrager genes. haha..I love taking pictures of the outdoors..every time I drive up to Middlebury, I always see places where I want to stop and take a picture, but I never do. I also love to take pictures at mom and dad's house! Such beautiful landscaping and cute puppies! :) Here are a few recent pictures that I have taken recently! Enjoy!

And here are all the animals in our family (except Charlie, Vince & Lex)

Bath Time!!

What makes almost every child happy?! Anyone? Well Tristan loves bath time! He loves the water and splashing in it! Can't wait until Florida! I think he would play in it all day if I would let him. :) His hair gets so curly after his bath. I love it! Anyways..here are a few pictures from his bath time today! He made some of the cutest expressions while splashing!

This is the face he would make when he splashed!

Happy little guy!

Oh and yesterday, he started saying mama..for those of you who have facebook. I posted a video of him saying it! :) That was my present for Mother's Day I think! :) Have a great rest of the week!

Fun at the zoo!

Today we met Jason, Aimee, Emma Matt, Amber & Cooper at chik-fil-a for lunch. Then me and Jake headed to the zoo with Amber, Matt & Cooper! We were there for a while. Not all the animals were out since it was too cold for them still. Even though it was around 80 today. Love the warm weather! I think I better just stick with posting pictures on my blogs. I'm not too great at writing like some other blogs I have read. So future blogs will have less words but more pictures!

This was fun!

The men & the diaper bags! haha..we were getting laughed at from people sitting inside.

Beautiful!

Daddy & Tristan

Update

Just a little update for all you guys! I went to Middlebury again on Friday to pick up another yorkie for my mother-in-law! She got a little boy and he is so adorable! Before we got the puppy though, we joined Amber, Mom, Kim and the kids at JoJo Pretzels..yummy! Then I took Tristan on his first carousel ride and he loved it! Saturday morning Jake, Tristan and myself sat outside on a blanket enjoying the beautiful sunshine! We threw the ball for the dogs, but Dewey was the only one that retrieved it. Ha! Rick came up on Saturday afternoon to pick the pup up and left this morning. So here are a couple pictures from this last weekend.

Jake let Tristan feed himself cereal this morning and let me tell you, he enjoyed it a little bit! Haha! See for yourself!
