Tristan Turned 2!

My baby is now 2! He's the sweetest thing ever. He's finally starting to talk more and seems to learn new words all the time. He had an awesome birthday at home right after our big trip. Nana was even here to help us spoil him. He got a bunch of cars and some tracks to play with them on. He hasn't put them down and he usually can be found with at least 5 cars in his hands. He also got a cool sprinkler toy with balls that shoot out, and some bubble toys.

Nana and a BIG ADVENTURE!

Scott's Mom came into town and so we got some amazing time with Nana! We went on an amazing trip to upstate NY together. We got to go to the Hill Cumorah Pageant and see some other LDS church historical sites. We got to see the printing press that printed the first Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith's childhood homes and the Sacred Grove where he saw the first vision. It was so fun! We also took an amazing trip to Niagara Falls!

Here's some poses with the cast members of the Hill Cumorah Pageant...

This inside Joseph Smith's cabin...

This is Connor by the fireplace of Joseph Smith's frame home where we learned that he actually hid the golden plates under the bricks in the fireplace for a time.

This is our family after walking through the sacred grove...

Amazingly we ran into some old friends we hadn't seen in years, the Velingas, while on our trip! That was a great surprise!

Here's the photos from our Niagara Falls adventure...


We rode on the Maid of the Mist boat...




We stayed until late so we could see the lights on the falls and an amazing fireworks show as well.
