Happy Birthday Tristian---Tristian turned 11 yesterday.... Aunt Kris make cupcakes.. she did an excellent job! Go Aunt Kris... So we gave Tristian a surprize birthday party at the spray park in Tyler.... He didn't have a clue.. But they had a great time .. and then afterwards we went to Ms. Kim's and they got to play in her pool. Ms. Kim and YaYa stopped and got a new floatie for Syndie so she could swim in the pool.. She loves the pool.. But not as much as Dora.. She did not want to leave the Dora floaty so much she brought it with her see the picture in the car with Dora.. We had to wait till Dad come to get her and then she got distracted and forgot Dora..

Well we had a baseball game Tuesday and church Wednesday and Party Thursday and tonight we have another baseball game and tomorrow we have the in-house Ranch Rodeo... so... we are up for another busy week... Hopefully we will have a breeze tonight.. (we can always hope)
