Triston decided to help Grandma Allred with the dishes.

So i was cleaning the other day and came into our living room and saw him like this.

He pushed all of his books off the shelf and crawled in there and started looking at his books.

Triston and Uncle Jared at the Holiday Parade in Boise at Thanksgiving. It was pretty cold. He fell asleep about half way through it and was out even though he was passed around every five minutes. He's so heavy you'd only be able to hold him for maybe five minutes then you'd have to pass him on.

Here's daddy's and Triston's favorite activity. I came home one morning after teaching dance and they were out with the TV on.

So this was the aftermath of him eating his cake. He made a bigger mess with the chocolate one i think.

Brad didn't get any picutres with his face while he was hitting the pinata. He did pretty good at hitting it.

These next few pictures are from Triston's Birthday party clear back in october. He really liked unwrapping the gifts and i was excited it was a nice day because i planned it outside.

This was one of my favorites. I ordered a huge one of it. I think it's a 10x24.

Here is the clilmax of getting the pictures done. I think we took one more after this one but this is definately him.

This is his costume this year. Jemece wore this when she a baby.

We had some pictures done on Saturday for Triston's birthday. I'm surprised they turned out. He was a little angry with me that day cause he didn't get a very good nap.

But were a mess by the end. Good thing Erin put them on a table clothe.

Triston and his cousin Kate, who is 4 days older then him, eating their birthday cake. In Jemece's family it's tradition that only on the first birthday you get to make a complete mess with the cake. They both started out pretty clean.

It's a bird! No its a plane! No its Super Triston. He had a blast playing with Jaron's superman cape Aunt Jennifer ;) (hint, hint)

Triston loved the beach and playing with all the big kids. He loved it so much he even ate some. If you look you can see some leftovers around his mouth.

This is Tanner and if you look closely at the chest area you might think it was a girl under there. Jeremy thinks he's pretty funny.

Brad coming in for a drink and a rest. He had a blast even though he got thrown into the sand a couple times by the waves. The waves were huge because a storm was coming in.

This is the best and only picture of Brad actually riding a wave. I tried to get more but I'd wait and as soon as i put the camera down he'd go. What a turkey!

Konner, Steve, Brad and Reagan waiting to go body boarding.

Last weekend we went to San Diego to visit Jemece's brother Jeremy and his family. We had a blast. We went to the beach a couple times and had so much fun even though it was freezing the second time. This is our cute little family photo.

This is Triston's idea of helping mommy with the dishes.

I have no idea why he did it but he squeezed back there and started playing. He thought it was hilarious.

Where is Triston?

I'm sorry I haven't figured out how to rotate them so they're right.

Riding Trax home after a hard day playing and riding around in the stroller.

Triston playing with Great Grandma Gibby and Grandma Allred

So i usually am the one taking the pictures so i'm not in very many so here's one.

Triston being brave. He was only there for a second before he fell but he's cruising aroung the couch and anything else he can pull up on. He is growing up so fast.

We went to the Gateway Mall to look around and eat lunch then went to temple square and played on the grass there. Triston loved just having all the room to crawl around.

Tristons first time on a train. We rode Trax up to Salt Lake with Brad's parents and Grandma in the background. He loved riding it and looking out the windows as things went by.

Triston just being silly. He would put it up to his face and yell then laugh.

Triston was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the way out to the car on daddy's shoulder.

Our small family on the train ride. Triston was to occupied by his cousins to see the animals.

So we were just walking and Brad saw this huge turtle and had to get a picture of it. The funny thing was i thought it was a rock so i just kept walking.

Triston and daddy looking at the baby Giraffe. He loved them. Acutally when we went to the gift shop to pick something out he picked a stuffed one. Its name is Harvey and he loves it.

Just chillin the shade with his unle Jared and his friend. It was a pretty hot day.

Triston checkin out the white alligator. It took a minute to find it cause it was very still.

So this was the special exhibit at the zoo. It's a white alligator that is not albino. They said its something wrong with there cells they don't pick up pigment and its only in males.

Triston and Cameron looking at some monkeys. Triaton thought they were pretty silly

Brad and Triston getting a drink from the famous lion drinking fountain.

So this is Cameron on Triston with the turkeys. Triston thought they were the most interesting looking things ever. He didn't know what to think.

My sister Jen was in town and we decided to go to the zoo with them and Brad's mom and brothers. Triston Loved it. He was a little unsure about this ball until he saw it had water on it then he started playing in it.

Triston is started to try to squeeze into places. So we were down at Brad's parents and he was chasing the ball around and climbed under the stool.
