Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve 2010 was spent and my Aunt Collette's house. We had a wonderful dinner and we had fun with the family. My sister and I decided to compared bellies, I am 38 weeks and Katelyn is 29 Weeks pregnant. Triston had fun playing with all his cousins and we had fun chatting with family.

After Aunt Collette's house we went home and Triston opened his Christmas eve present. Which of course was jammies. This year he got Mickey Mouse and Handy Manny jammies. He was into Iron man at the time so he had to get a picture with his Iron Man. After we watched the Iron man movie, we decided to go to bed so Santa would come.

Christmas Morning

Triston is not a morning person, so we had to wake him up to open presents. We woke up about 9 am and opened the presents Santa left. This year he got a Mickey Mouse activity book, a Buzz Lightyear scotor, Toy Story figurines, a digital camera, some books, a couple of games and some clothes. After he openned his presents we got ready for our annual family Chrismas party.

Chrismas Afternoon

This year we had our family party at my little brother Alex's house. We ate a yummy breakfast and then we openned our presents. Triston always plays with Daxon's guns when he is over at my brother Sam's house so Sam and Mindy got Triston a battery operated nerf gun. He loved it! All though he lost his bullet within the 1st hour. He also got a Lightning McQueen Car. I wasn't feeling good so I left the party eairly. I went home and slept for a while. Triston and Chris stayed a little bit longer. All in All we had a fun Christmas. Now I am just waiting for my baby to come.

McMullin Santa Party!

We had our annual McMullin Christmas December 10th 2010. We had fun. Triston had a blast playing with all the little kids, and I caught up with some of my family. We played games and eat yummy food. Then the highlight of the night was when Santa came. Triston started by not wanting to stay in the room, but I eventually Bribed him with some chips. When he finally got called up to sit on Santa's lap he was so excited. He told Santa that he wanted a guitar for Christmas. We had so much fun with the family. Can't wait for next year.

Family Pics 2010

I have been trying to get family pictures for a while, but with me working all the time and the weather it was a battle. We were able to get some awesome pictures thanks to my friend Jennie. The only problem was that it was to cold for Triston and he had a hard time cooperating.

The family 2010

This is my favorite picture of Triston!

We had to get a picture of the belly!

I Love my Triston!

I don't know what Triston was looking at but it is a good picture of Chris.

ThanksGiving 2010

This ThanksGiving we were invited to go up to my Uncles Mikes. We ended up having turkey dinner at his church house. There was so many little kids there, between all of the cousins there was 7 kids under 4 years of age. It was very loud. The food was really yummy and we had fun catching up with the family. The kids had fun running around while the older kids played a game and played basketball. It was a very fun day. Triston had fun playing, but by the end he got a little grumpy.

Halloween 2010

This year I decided to save a little money and let Triston be Buzz Lightyear again. Luckily he was ok with that. We have made it a tradition to go to my Dad's wards Trunk and Treat party. Aunt Mindy, Cash, Daxon, and Shara were able to come also. We ate chili and the kids had fun running around. After they announced who won the Chili cook off. They had all the kids go up on stage to show off their costumes. Then we headed outside to go trunk or treating. It was a little cold, but they kids still had fun. Aunt Kate was able to come after work.
I was able to find some time to take Triston to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately it was really muddy, but he still had fun climbing on the tractors. We tried to go through the little corn maze that they had, but it was to muddy for us. Triston had fun picking out his pumpkin, unfortunately it was the end of the season, so a lot of the pumpkins were rotten. So we had to pick a couple before we found a good one.
On Oct 30th we celebrated Halloween, this year I decided to let Triston carve his pumpkin. He is into Mickey Mouse this year and I bought a Mickey Mouse cookie jar and I decided to use that as a pattern. He didn't like scrapping out the seeds, because it was to slimy. He tried to help me cut out the face, but he didn't last that long, so I finished for him. He was very proud of his pumpkin. I think it turned out really cute. I decided to carve a spider on my pumpkin, and I will never do it again. My hand still hurts.
This was the first year that I didn't take Triston to the in laws, and I decided to finally hand out candy and take Triston out Trick-or-Treating done the street. He was very excited, until he got cold. The weather was not very cooperative. It was raining and very windy. Triston only made it down and around the street. He wanted me to carry him the whole time. I think that if I would have covered his ears he wouldn't have been so cold. I guess we will try it again next year.
I saw a cute pumpkin pizza on studio 5, so i decided to make my own dough and make my own. It actually turn out very cute and it tasted pretty good.

Baby Time!

We found out on August 26th 2010 that we were having a baby Girl. Chris thought it was going to be a girl and I was hoping for a boy. I wasn't very surprised though, because this pregnancy was different. Chris was excited because he thought that if it was a girl that he would pick out her name, since I choose Triston's name. To his surprise that wasn't going to happen. We both needed to agree on the name. His names were Courtney or Casey and my name was Hayden or Trinity. Triston came with us, but he wasn't surprised about seeing the baby, because he saw the baby when I had my first ultra sound.

Her cute butt!

Baby Decor

I priced out baby bedding and found that it cost about $150 for bumpers, a fitted sheet, bed

skirt, diaper stacker and valance. I wanted to save some money, and decided that I didn't need the bed skirt, diaper stacker and valance so I saw a baby quilt pattern at the fabric store and decided to price it out and it came to less than $80. So I decided to make her quilt. I made bumpers (which I will never do again) to match the quilt. I then decided to make a changing table cover to match also. I was in a sewing groove. I also made a couple of boppy pillow cases, and car seat tent/canopy's, and several blankets to crotch around. I was so proud of myself for sticking in there. I was very grateful for my mom who taught me how to sew.

Turned out ok.

Mommy and Me time

I decided that I have been neglecting Triston to much s enough, so I decided he needed to spend some quality time with Me. On July 14th I decided to be brave and take the three little kids swimming at the Herriman Lake. They had so much fun playing! It was nice to see them have so much fun.

On July 23rd, my dad asked me if I would drive him up to Bountiful so he could march in the Bountiful days parade. So I took him, Shara and Triston up to Bountiful. We dropped my dad off at the beginning of the parade and then I drove down to the end of the parade. I didn't know what to expect, because I have never have been up to Bountiful Days. At the end of the parade there was a carnival. We ended up playing on the playground for a while before the parade finally made it down to the end. I decided to get the kids face painted, Triston got a Shark on his arm and Shara choose a beautiful butterfly. We ended up getting snow cones and headed over to the parade route. We waited for Grandpa to come and then we decided to play at the carnival.

The kids decided to go on the shark slide. We only paid for one time to go up, but Triston and Shara found ways to go up the slide multiple times. They had so much fun I had to prey them away to do another activity.

The kids ended up going over to the bouncy house to jump for a while. The pictures didn't turn out so good, but the kids had fun. We only had enough tickets to go on one more ride and the kids wanted to go on the swings. They were happy when they first got on, and luckily they had an extra seat belt to keep the kids in their seats, because Triston was terrified by the second time around. You can see the terror on his face. He hates to swing, I don't know why he wanted to go on it. Shara wasn't to thrilled about the swings either. We ended up heading back home after a potty brake and the kids passed out on the way home. It was a fun afternoon.

On July 24th Triston and I took my dad up to Salt Lake to march in the Pioneer parade. I haven't been to this parade for years. We ended up finding a place at the end of the parade and waited for my dad to come down the parade route. We ended up getting snow cones and sat to watch the parade. Luckily we only had one potty emergency. After my dad came down the parade route we ended up heading home. He was really tired, and it was starting to get really hot.

After we got home from the parade I asked Katelyn if she wanted to take the kids to the lake to have fun. It was really crowded, but the kids didn't care they still had fun in the sand and water. After the lake we went home and took a much needed nap. I didn't buy any fireworks, because I was scheduled to work, but I ended up getting cancelled. When Triston and I heard some fireworks going off I took him down the street and we watched the neighbors fireworks.

I love that I was able to feel better enough to spend time with my favorite little man! I love him so much!
