Ferrari Driving Experience!

My hubby has always had a thing for Ferrari's! Last year for our anniversary I was searching for something to get him that he would actually enjoy that had all boy written all over it. I talked to his dad and was going to do the Richard Petty Driving experience out at Las Vegas motor speedway where he would have the opportunity to drive a Race car for a number of laps around the race track at speeds that he is not aloud to drive anywhere else. But when I got and line and started looking, I found The exotic racing experience at the speedway that puts you behind the wheel of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, etc. Bingo!!!!!! I went with that instead and he finally went out and drove it today!!! He is on the track driving in this first picture!
Just pulling it out of the garage! Pretty sweet ride if I do say so myself.
The Car!
Love the back end!!
And yes I know I should have had him take the helmet off for this one, but he thoroughly enjoyed himself!!! Now he's asking if we can buy one!!! LOL in his wildest dreams!!! I loved the car, but not enough to live in it!!!
My Dad, Sam and the girls came to spend the weekend with us too!!!! Mikie and I got to go on a Date last night wahoooo!!! We had a great time and Trystan is having a blast with Grandma, Grandpa and his littlest Aunts! They had fun playing on the bean bag chair at the speedway this morning.
Trystan thought it was cool Daddy got to drive fast in a "race car"
I had to work Sunday :( (I ended up doing charge nurse for our 53 bed unit all by myself Sunday so good times for me) Mikie took Trystan hiking and they had a blast! they went out to red rock and hiked up to a waterfall. Mikie said Trystan walked all the way in I think he said it was just over 1/2 a mile. Trystan loved every minute of it and Mikie got some great pictures. This one is my favorite.
He loves the rocks and did not want to stay on the trail. He wanted to make his own
He's getting to be a pro at stairs
He wore his hat the entire time.... backwards!
Taking two seconds to look at dad and the camera kind of.
Its finally time to retire the 12 month pants they are becoming high waters!
Seriously have you seen a cuter kid!!!
Finally to the water and of coarse he got soaked!
Playing in the back of the truck after the hike!
Mikie went to pick Trystan up the other night from his mom and dad's and got a muscle man show!!! He ran out on their grass and started showing everyone his "muscles" in several different poses. The pictures are a little blurry but hilarious!! Hopefully they will make you smile and laugh like we did! I love this little boy and he never fails at making me smile.

He just keeps going, and going, and going!!!!

Wow!!!! It has been a long time since I updated!!!! I assure you we are all still very much alive and doing well. Our days are filled with trucks, balls, stories, bubbles, and of all things Mario!!! Yes Mario. My two year old is addicted to Mario Kart and as of the last week he is now addicted to Mario Galaxy (flying Mario). It is the first thing he asks for in the morning and it continues all day. Of Course he can't actually play the game, so mom and dad get tortured. I don't think Dad minds as much as mom though;) Though that is what his number one request is, I can only take so much of it and we have had to limit the Wii time. It is getting nice outside, so we frequent the park, and we play outside with the bubble machine. Yesterday we went to the park and they have turned all the splash pads on!!!!! Yeah for water, boooo that it was too cold to play in it. This morning we got ready to go to the park, I had Trystan completely dressed and ready to head out the door. I was making his water and he comes running in the kitchen pantless with his swim trunks in the other hand telling me, suite mommy. It was only 60 degrees outside and still too cool to play in cold water. After fighting to get him dressed again and explaining for the nine hundreth time it was too cold to play in the water. We were finally on our way, but after Trystan screaming and spitting at me all the way to the buffalo exit to the butterfly park, mean mommy took park priveleges away for the day and we went to run errands instead. Maybe Friday we will make it to the park, and it is supposed to be 90 so we can play in the water. Trystan is getting so big and talking so much and so clearly too. He thinks its fun to tell Mikie and I to cry, the other day I told him no I was going to cry he raised his hand like he was going to slap me and said make you cry mommy! Seriously??? He gives the best hugs and kisses though. And he is the life of every party! We went to St. George Saturday for my Cousin's baby's blessing and Trystan had a group of about 10 people young and old alike surrounding him the entire time. He was sticking cars up his shirt saying booboo's his version of boobs!
We went to the speech therapist/feeding specialist a couple of weeks ago. She was amazing and got Trystan to eat things I never thought would be possible. She did not feel that Trystan needed continual therapy for his eating, but felt that his lack of interest in food and eating was a behavioral thing/ control thing! (which is what Mikie and I have thought the entire time). She gave me some great tips and tricks. We play lots of games at our dinner table these days, including puzzles, basketball, blowing bubbles and building towers, but they are working!!!!! Trystan is now eating three full meals a day when he is at home and at Grandma's!!!! Even better than that he is enjoying it, and gets so excited when he finishes his plate!
We went back to the GI specialist right after seeing the speech therapist and he still wanted to do an EGD to "make sure there were no ulcers in the esophagus" I scheduled it really apprehensively as it meant that Trystan would have to have an IV and be put under for the procedure. After talking to Mikie, I called and cancelled the procedure. Neither one of us feel that it is necessary at this point. Trystan has never had reflux problems or shown any symptoms of any kind of gastric ulcers. My mom came out the end of March for a week, so I took the week off and we headed to Utah. Trystan had so much fun playing with my cousin's little boy Torsten. Torsten is only a month older than Trystan and they had a blast. We stayed at my Aunt Margene's and they ran around playing race cars and motorcycles. My mom was letting them jump off the brick fire places, My child has no fear and I love the look on his face in this picture. Thanks for playing with us guys!!! Trystan is still walking around the house with my cell phone calling Torsten!!! ( We wished we lived closer!)
Torsten and Trystan even shared pretty good for the most part!!!
Look at this boy! He looks so big in this picture laying on the floor playing with the computer.
We also got to see all of my mom's sisters and Aunt Brenda drives a hummer!!!! One of Trystan's favorites, so of course she let him play in it!!! He was in heaven.

Uncle Monty's Chickens had baby Chicks that we got to go play with!!! They were so cute, but Trystan was not to sure about them, he thought they were cute from a distance, but did not want to hold them or touch them. Torsten was the complete opposite and wanted to hold them and pet them. It was fun to go to the farm and see the chicken's, cows, & chickee's!
Margene Farah and Torsten!
Trystan shying away from the baby chickee's!
Grandma and Trystan checking out the cows.
This kid actually looked and me and said cheese for a picture!!!! first time ever! My dad same and the girls bought this had for him when they went to Disney land last year and I could never get him to wear it!!!! He loves it now guys, Thank you!!!!! It fits him so well too he bounces around and has the energy of 12 tiggers!
Back view!
Not much else is going on with us, just work, work, work and more work!!!! Hopefully it won't be so long before I update again! Sorry!!!!!
