Celebrations all Around!!!

Finally, I'm getting this updated!  As a tradition that we started about 3 years ago, we shut off our cable and internet in the summer.  One would think that we were crazy but its so great!  Instead of me getting stuck on Housewives and trying to Keep Up with the Kardashians and Kyle watching the Next Great Moose Hunt or whatever Hunt is happening, we are spending time with our little family.  Playing outside, going on walks or just obsessing over Tristan learning new things every minute.  So, this is my most current excuse for not updating the blog sooner!
In June we had lots to celebrate.  This all started with Moms birthday June 2nd!  The whole family gathered at her house in Tacoma for dinner.  We suprised her with a new Bar B Q that she loves!  It was so fun to have us three girls there with our families and both the boys.  They are so fun to watch together! 
Next was Sheyanne's 8th birthday and where else we would celebrate....none other than Chuck E Cheeses!  True to form of an 8 year old, she had lots of girlfriends there and one lil boy and they all ran around like crazy!  Pizza, presents and Chuck E himself it was a ton of fun.  Tristan thought that the big mouse was edible and attacked his ears like they were a lovely treat! haha!  Very fun to watch.  I just realized when preparing for this blog that I don't have any pics from Mom or Twinks bday, Mom and Jessi if you have any can you foward them to me please! :(
Next we headed east to Bridgeport to help celebrate Dads 35th (wink wink) birthday and Dad and Janes 20th wedding anniversary (no he wasn't really 15 when they got married)!!! :)  The weather was wonderful and the company was even better!  Saturday was the big celebration including a band and a keg...if you ask me you can't go wrong with that combination!  I got all three of the men in my life up and dancing!  Tristan partied like a trooper until he passed out with the band still going and everything.  Kyle and I danced like we were 21 again and I got my dad to dance as soon as they played a Billy Joel song.  Rumor has it, he even asked Jane to dance!  Happy Anniversary to them! :)  Complete with the cops showing up because of a noise complaint it was a great party!

Sunday Tristan went on his first boat ride and loved it!  I'm sure he would tell you it would have been better without the life jacket but either way he was thrilled.    On The way home we stoped to visit my Grandma Joy and Great Grandma Shaw.  It was great to see them and have them spend some time with Tristan!  All in all June was a very fun, very busy month!
