Summer Camping Trip!

This past weekend we went camping with the Bellino side of the family up by Mount wheeler in Northern Nevada. We had not been camping for several years and it was Trystan's first camping trip. Our Niece Kylie came and spent the night at our house the night before we left and helped keep Trystan entertained while Mikie and I packed. They mad hats out of Trystan's shorts!
We went on a couple of hike's. trystan had the best seat in the house and would yell go, go, go every time we stopped for a break. Mikie and Papa took turns packing him on our verticle climb for the first hike of the trip.
Then halfway up Trystan decided he was done going up and headed down on his own. This kid knows what he wants, and has a great since of direction.
Kylie stopped to Pose for a picture.
We also spent lots of time playing in the tent. I was so excited Trystan's pack-n-play fit in the tent! He slept awesome even through rain and thunder. Sorry this picture is blurry but I love it anyway. This is his cheese face, and he loved his head lamp.
Me, Kylie and Trystan.
We had a great time playing in the creek as well. The water was freezing and made mikie and I's feet numb... it didn't seem to phase trystan though. I was a little nervous when we got there because the water was moving so quickly. Papa and Trystan had a talk about not going to the water without mommy, daddy, grandma, Auntie cole or uncle richard, because if he fell in we would never see Trystan again!!! It stuck Trystan was really good about the water!

Family photo. My camera was on a weird setting so Trystan and I have ghost faces :(
Daddy's feet were frozen so Mommy got a turn in the water with the monkey!
Trystan was not into posing for photos of the grandkids for grandma, and getting them to all look at the camera is a near impossible feat.
This is up at the alpine lakes as you head up to mount wheeler. This water was not moving so Trystan walked right on in with no fear. He walked more of this hike as well as created his own little detour. This one is not so much a fan of the trails.
Another attempt at a grandkids photo;p
Then there was sledding on ponchos in July! This is of mikie going from the top of the snowbank.
Trystan loved it and just kicked back and drank water from mikie's pack.

I wish these were on video. My in-laws decided to go down together and spun out of control.


My father-in-law stole the poncho, My mother-in-law ended up with her hind end rather cold and wet...we all had a great laugh!

What would a hike be without a walking stick! We had a great time and Trystan did Sooooo well. He is asking everyday when we can go again!

Big Boy Underwear!?!?!?!

Don't let this fool you we are no where near potty trained but he actually let me try on his big boy underwear this morning!!! He usually throws them on the ground and says no mommy. So its a start. He sat on the potty for a good 10 minutes this morning too. Needless to say after 10 minutes on the potty with nothing then putting on the big boy underwear he promptly peed in the middle of my bed. LOL!!! I love this kid. Its a start so I will take it! He really wants a bowser car, which has been promised after he learns to pee in the big boy potty. Hopefully this will continue to entice him to try! Any advice on Potty training boys? I am open for suggestions!
