{March 12, 2011} Tristen is Twelve

My boys are getting too grown-up for the childish birthday party invitations you find on the shelves at any given store, so I decided to make theirs this year: (see Seth's soon)

I remember back when Tristen's favorite color was "lello" and he was a huge fan of Elmo on Sesame Street, now his favorite color is red and he's into dragons! 

Now join me, would you, as I take a trip
down memory lane.

(sorry for the poor quality - we hadn't gone digital yet and most of these were scanned from a scrapbook)


March 12, 1999 with the arrival of Tristen Bradley Logo I became a mother; the single most defining moment of my life
(outside of finding my savior, Jesus Christ). 
Tristen wasn't due until March 31 (the same day Brad was due back from boot camp and AIT) so Brad missed the birth, but two weeks later he joined us in Corona, Ca - he was in awe; he couldn't stop staring at his son.
{That marked the beginning of the sacrifices this man would make for his family; I love him}

 I thought he was pretty neat myself.

 Tristen nearly spent his first Christmas in  the hospital due to a rare virus, but continued to be all smiles!
