The Strout Family: Busy busy!!!

On Saturday (the day before Mother's Day), we took tristyn to Universal for the last time until Cara arrives. I was technically supposed to sit in a wheel chair the whole day (doctors orders since Cara is so low), but you know me... I am stubborn. I just cannot take this heat and walking around for 6 hours. She of course enjoyed herself!

Mother's Day ...

This is our Mothers Day picture that was taken for us at Church. It turned out great!

Tristyn's finished product.

She looks so thrilled to take a picture... yeah right. (She was very tired)

For Mothers Day we invited our moms and my Grana over for a BBQ lunch (thanks to Sonney's). We had a great time. It was very relaxing, but of course my mother was in the kitchen the majority of the time cleaning. She is a sweetheart! I made each of them a piture frame and Tristyn helped me by dipping her little fingers in paint for the butterfly, and caterpillars on the frame. Tristyn decorated her first cake with pink icing and red heart prinkles on top. I was so proud of her. I have got to say... this is the way to go. I think mext year we may do the same thing but the day before Mother's Day... we will see!

We had a small party in tristyn Preschoool class on Friday before her Birthday Party. Tristyn's first bite of jello cupcakes (I attempted to try and make them). they turned out good... I think!

Tristyn is 3 years old! I can't believe it... Even though sometimes she scts like she's 6. These three years has gone by too fast. It feels like yesterday when I was holding her in my arms rocking her to sleep. Such a precious little girl she was ans still is!

So, for this years big celebration, she wanted a Princess theme. That was easy enough. I made the cupcakes and the cake myself, and put together all the decorations. Can you say PINK!!! that is just about the only color that was in my dining that day. She was such a proud little princess.
