The Adventures of Tristan

Tuesday we celebrated Sherry's 50th birthday and she was such a great sport!!  I hope you know how loved you are!! Then, Michele and I brought Noah and T to the Baylor game.  I wish we took pics of all the TCA kids there, it was crazy! Goofballs bought pajamas!! and we finally found Unkie and Aunt Sue!! Bummed we didn't have time to see the campus but hopefully we get to do it again! Michele and Noah's first time at Baylor!! we got killed, it was a million degrees but still so fun!! Then today, Tristan went to Z and Caleb's birthday...  so I made a GDO - Girl's Day Out of it!! Bre joined in on the Pickle Ball fun too!! All in all.. SO BUSY ... but SO FUN!!

  Friends make life better!

  He loves spending quality time home with his mother. He cleans his room daily. Loves doing chores. And never eye rolls. Just kidding.. he's in 9th grade. Pray for me. hahahahaha LOVE YOU TRISTAN!!!

This week I made the mistake of diving into the costs of Upper school at TCA. I say mistake, because it's overwhelming. I'm sure high school was expensive for my parents too.. but my gosh. TCA is A LOT before you even factor in the "extra expenses". I have such grandiose plans as 4 more trips with Tristan before he graduates.  But, alas, I cannot do it.  He's headed on Spring Break with the Rhodes family and I'm SO grateful but also so jealous that I don't get this trip with him. I want more time.  I want to go back. I miss you Tristan. I miss you thinking I was fun, and cool and wanting me around. I miss you talking to me, sitting and having more than 7 minutes of time together at the dinner table. I miss the stories, I miss helping you study (not going to lie, evenings "off" are kind of nice) but I love watching you fly. So while i'm sad that I probably won't be going to Italy anytime soon... or ever... I am grateful that you are findin...

 The lake house is falling a part... but these four didn't care!! Weird to see them SO BIG, running around doing everything by themselves.  But, I'm thankful to be a spectator and cheer them all on as they go! Grayson has been there before but last time, the jet ski died, so this was a better trip for sure! These two were in hog heaven and completely wiped by the time we got back home! Jackson's first time at the lake and he loved it! They were sun burned and exhausted.  We call that a perfect lake weekend! Cheers until next year!
