The Adventures of Tristan

 

  Garth Ross, I have loved you my entire life and I am so thankful that we were able to get together for breakfast!  It's like we picked off where we left off... and man, he is like Uncle Doug. It was so nice to see him with Tristan too. I wish he could have stayed longer, and I'm praying all that you are seeking to do with the rest of your life.. you do Garth.   You are loved! Few hours of work and then picked up 5 boys to head to the Dallas Sidekicks game! So thankful that Sherry set this up for the boys... Didn't even know these guys existed and bummed I didn't know about them sooner!! Not all but over 1/2 of the soccer team, not bad!! We even made the screen... I was only able to catch it once but there we are!! Good times with great friends!

 This is all I could get... and sums it up.   He's a teen. He's older, just wants me to fork over the candy and be done with it.  Love you BUDDY!

 Well, IT WAS COLD.  Two inches of ice blanketed Dallas... This is when my fireplace brings me SO MUCH joy!! Tristan invited 7 boys over for pizza, poker, darts and a sleepover. I wasn't sure it would happen due to weather but I decorated! Moved Ping Pong inside... (bye yoga area!) Dogs snuggled up! And it hit! A LOT of ice and not much snow... This metal pole had so much weight from ice and snow... Thankfully Julie Hamilton just gave me this...  so at 5am, I could go cut down this... NOT fun.  SO HEAVY and I had to drag into the man cave and pray it wasn't ruined  (which thankfully it wasn't!!) next day, it defrosted some and 7 boys arrived! They ate... then prepared for poker This lasted about 5 minutes and I knew I was in trouble!! For the next 8 hours, my house was SO loud. There was fighting. There were tears. There was WAY too much sugar. They made up. They laughed. They FINALLY went to bed I passed out. I don't like this age.  That's all. -----------...

These boys were undefeated and we were so proud! (Hunter S., Sage, Drew, Caleb, MJ, Noah, Zachary, a coach) (Trey, Andrew W, Jackson R, Andrew B, Trent, T, Hunter H, Riley, Coach Emmanuel)
