P.S. I LOVE YOU

OK, I had no idea what this movie was about and I don't think I have ever cried and laughed so hard during one movie in my life. It really makes one respect what they have. Things can change in an instant just as they did for the family from Sweet this weekend. Cherish what you have every moment, every day!

Mom's play day!

So today it was my day to play ball! The girls had a tourney at Willow Lane. This group of girls is so much fun! We Played really well but had a few errors along the way. 1/2 of them my walks in the third game.

Here is out team photo before we lost out last game.

Here are a few of my girls!

Donna

Christi (hah, just kidding Christy!...lol

Sheree

Look at that form!

After we were done in the tournament I was off to get home because today was the day we did family pictures! I was so excited. We found a photographer named Tiffany Hix. When I went to her blog I felt like I had known her for years! We spent about an hour and a half at the depot taking various shots of Tex, Hanna, Garret, Tristan and myself. I can not wait to get them back. Tiffany will post a "Sneak Peak" on her web sight (tiffanyhixphotography.com). When she does I will let you all know so you can see the photo's! While we were up there, Tex took a beautiful photo of down town.



I happened to snap one of Hanna and Garrett.



After we left the Depot we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was OK at best:(

A fun packed Saturday!

Well, Saturday I got to sleep in. Yea! Dad had a softball tournament and his first game was at 8 am. It was in the 90's Saturday so Tristan and I hung out at the house. Tex's team was on a loosing streak so we decided to beat the heat by taking our first dip in the pool together. He was dressed in his cute little swim suit that we received at our shower. I was so happy it still fit! Tristan did really well! He just thought it was a big bath tub, a real big bath tub!





A few moths ago I got Tristan this little boat that is cuter than ever. It is like a bouncy chair that floats in the water. It has little toys on it and a canopy so her has shade. The stickers on it are cuter than ever too but I don't think they will stay on it long!





While Tristan and I were taking a dip, dad called and said that they won their last game and they were getting ready to play again, five games in one day in 95 degree heat. Ouch! We started to feel guilty for not going to watch so we hopped out of the pool and headed down to the field. We got their just in time to see them loose their last game.

After Tex's softball game we decided to go watch Brittles play football. Cam & Britt's parents were here and got some quality time with TJ again. It is always so good to see them! We didn't get to see Brittles as he was probably cranky after loosing a close game.... Sorry Brittles!

Milk chocolate melts in your mouth not in your hands!

NEED I SAY MORE?

HE'S OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, today was the day. It seemed like the finalization went as swift as Tristan finding us! We showed up at the courthouse about 920 and waited for our attorney. He was in room 401 in another adoption.




Once we went in our attorney briefed us on what to expect. He ran us through the series of questions that he was going to ask and then the judge came in and we were on our way. Of course things got teary when the judge asked how did Tristan come into our life. I told he all about being in Mexico and the very morning I got home I received a phone called stating that our son was born the previous Friday. I could not hold it together. What really touched me was when our attorney asked Tex hos he felt about Tristan and Tex just started to sob, he could not even talk! I love Tex so much! I am so lucky to have him! After the hearing the judge posed for pictured with us.




I'll bet that is a great part of her job! There are so many kids that are not wanted and then to see children adopted to wonderful families has got to be great.

We were very fortunate that mom and Dani could make it! Thanks for sharing in our moment, I know many more of you are with us in "spirit". We love and thank you all.

We heard from the attorney

Well, the date is set! Friday May 16, 2008 at 9:30 am we will be at the Ada County Courthouse to finalize our adoption! Tristan Jacoby will officially become a Horton. We are so excited for this process to be finalized. We new it was only going through the motions but just knowing it will be final is great!

We would like any of our friends and family to come that can make it. It will be a very happy occasion!

Camera's and video are fine!

Yesturday we went to Blakes Baseball game.

After Tex got home we went to watch Blake's baseball game.


There were some friends there that we had not seen in some time. Rick and Sam Pena and their kids. Of course everyone was all "gaga" over Tristan so I caught up with Donna a little bit. It was so nice to see everyone.!


Sam really hit it off with Tristan, she was making him giggle! He just could not stop. It was so cute!
