Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas...

Before Trysten learned that it was Merry Christmas, he would say HAPPY CHRISTMAS...Trysten is now with his dad until tomorrow at noon and then the fun will begin! I can't wait for him to open all of his presents.

The Drive to Daddys

Scrooge!

Trysten with the Angel of Christmas present

Last night we attended the annual Scrooge the musical at the Champions Centre with Grandma and Bopa, we had a blast at the show but it was a very scary ride home.

Chuck E Cheese

Thanks to the generous christmas gift we headed out to Chuck E Cheeses today! We got there early enough that we thought we were going to beat the traffic home before the 2nd wave of the storm hit. But we had to go by the mall and apparently everyone else was trying to finish up thier xmas shopping!

On the 21st day of christmas my mommy gave to me...

6 is old enough to work right?

Today more snow came in and school was again cancelled. So Trysten came to work with Mommy! He did very well spent 7 1/2 hours sitting by my playing his psp, doing some book work and coloring pictures for the staff. He also scored big and was given a $25.00 christmas present from one of my co-workers! THANKS BILL!

Snow Day

Well today school was called off on account of snow, which is a little annoying since there is no snow on the roads here! Trysten and I took that as an oppurtunity to get some xmas errands done. After mailing out Trais present we hit up the proctor district discovering many of the cool shops there including the really cool toy store which is similar to one of my child hood toy stores; Kelly's Toy Store in Gig Harbor when the store was in it's prime. We also found the Art and Soul and painted ourselves a nice ornament. Then after lunch we headed to Odyssey 1 for a few hours then to Grandma's to say HI. We also attended my friend's gig to raise money for the CHAMPIONS CHILDREN FOUNDATIONS at Java Fusion.

Looks so peaceful doesn't he? Warmin up with his cocoa

Oh my a toy store with no deadline to leaving!

Future Photographer

On the way to Kemal's Trysten asked that we pull off so he could shoot off some pics of the mountains and the water this is the shot I took of him down on the beach off of Marine View Drive.

CENSORED

At last nights parent teacher conference I was asked to refrain from using teachers names when blogging about Trysten. I have agreed to edit the existing blogs so that it will not include any teachers names.

Parent-Teacher Conference #2

Tonight we attended Trysten's second parent teacher conference of the year. His teacher and the principle where there to discuss Trysten's academics as well as his behavior. Overall his academics have improved and he is moving right along with reading he can recognize 62 sight words the goal for the end of the year is 200. The big focus was on his behavior the stated that he seems to not be able to "settle" which was very obvious at this point because he was writing post its for both myself and Rachelle during the whole conference. I think we will have to have him assessed by a behavioral specialist. Although I honestly don't think his behavior is abnormal for a 6 year old boy.

Festival of Trees

So every year we go to the Festival of Trees with Grandpa Mike this year was no different, we had a good time despite Trysten being his usual self. Here are a few pics we snapped of:

Christmas Story Lamp

Mommy's choice Juicy Tree!

Fantasy Lights

So on Saturday night Aunt Tutu, Khylee, Corbin, Trysten and I went to the Spanaway Fantasy lights! It was pretty cool with the exception that Trysten spent most of it whining and the "Christmas" music channels didn't play any music until we were out of the park. We still had fun with the kids and the many cool lights!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great Christmas Book

We found a really cute christmas book about Olive the other reindeer! It's got good pictures and is pretty funny and cute we loved it!

Craft Night

Hard at work making a Santa ornament
Designing a dog scarf

Adding Jingle bells to the dog scarf so now MOSES will never be able to hide from him again.

Trysten and I attended craft night at the school last night! It was pretty cool, there were a lot of creative but easy crafts. We enjoyed spending times with his friends and even met the infamous Brett (the boy who Trysten is constantly getting into trouble with) you would never have known that they were always fighting cause they were buddy buddy last night!
