Yoda

Truan got his first Happy Meal (we're not Mc D's type folk) and his first Tattoo. He wasn't too excited about the hambuger, but the tattoo was a success! He looks so rugged in his new tats!

Climbing, Cousins and Popeye

This little man of ours learns and changes everyday. It's just so crazy all the stuff he picks up on. He's copying everything we say and loves learning new stuff. Here are some of the things that are going on in Truan's life:


Everything's a toy, including boxes. Note, he's aiming his "hand gun" at me. He's dangerous.


Sometimes we find our good friend "Pots" in the high chair, buckled up, waiting for lunch.



Truan's cousin Luca, who we call "Ucca", came to visit. Truan was happy to share his cars and have a friend around. Even when Luca was gone Truan would point up the stairs (where they stayed) and say, "Ucca? Sleeping?". The only reason for Luca to not be around, is if he's taking a nap, right?




Truan is into watching old cartoons that Grandma gave him for his Birthday. I came into the living room to find this. He had himself all set up and had somehow turned on "Popeye". It's like he's a big kid. Don't be fooled, he's still a baby. Right?


Kris put a "route" up for Truan on the climbing wall. Truan climbed it over and over again. We finally had to peel him off because it was bedtime. I'm not sure who had more fun, Truan or Kris who was stoked to see his little boy loving the same things he loves.

The Cabin

Another quick weekend up at the cabin was a success. I didn't realize the lack of pictures I took until I was uploading them, and it took no time. The ride up (which normally takes about an hour and 45 mins) took us 3 hours to get there because of the ice on the road. So I took a couple pictures on the drive up because I was bored.
We also got a couple pictures of us sledding, so enjoy.

I turned around to take a picture of Truan in his relaxed state. He was really excited that I was taking pictures and kept asking me to take more. Here's his poses:






We pass by Arrowrock Dam on the way up, just a quick pic.



Truan and Dash had fun playing peekaboo in the curtains and yelling at their dads outside the window!




Truan, getting geared up:



Here's the boys before the going down!








And after: Truan was so excited!





Even mom tried, to heck with having no fun while you're pregnant. (Ok, it was a really mild hill)




Here's Nicole and Dash taking a turn




Truan was so excited to even see other people go down, that he would squeal and clap in delight. He's awesome.

Christmas Pictures

Ok, I finally got them scanned in. Don't hate me for taking so long, but here are some pictures we took of Truan right before Christmas. Pre-Santa episode.
He did so well. He smiled and giggled the whole time, it was the easiest sitting we've had so far!

It's a Girl!

Lace, pink shoes and sparkles, here we come!!

Oranges

I can't get enough of these!
Orange juice, orange soda, and taking the time to peel the real thing, I am loving Oranges!
Other than the cheeseburgers that I crave, this craving I can have as much as I want!
When I was little, my parents would put an orange in the bottom of our stockings every year. This year I'm, telling Kris to just stuff my stocking with them.

Santa

We practiced and got pumped up for the meet and greet. But when we walked past the elves and closer to the Jolly Old Man, everything went out the window. Lucky for santa, there was no screaming or tears, but Truan refused to sit on his lap as well as look at the camera. He kept an eye on the sneaky old man the whole time. I told Truan not to be surprised if he found coal in his stocking this year.


We waited for over 30 mins for the big event.




"There's no way this fat man is getting down our chimney....what's your secret old man?"






It was a long day.
