We celebrated Tristan's 2nd birthday on Saturday, June 26! We kicked things off with a little fun in the sun at the YMCA outdoor pool! Tristan got lots of giggles from squirting my Uncle John with his Toy Story water squirter. Our neighbors, Jose and Johannes, got workouts flipping and throwing all the older kids into the water.

Then we came back to our house for some of Justin's awesome smoked pork and turkey, carrot salad, pasta salad, veggies (or debris as Sandi calls it), and mouthwatering watermelon brought by my Aunt Beth and Uncle John. When we started singing "Happy Birthday," Tristan seemed surprised that we were singing to him -- but fully enjoyed getting to blow out his two candles on his "beachball" cake.

After cake, the kids enjoyed playing with the balloons, trading the Silly Bands in their treat bags, and playing with Tristan's new basketball net. It's hilarious hearing Tristan say in his baby voice, "Ah, m-a-a-a-an! Missed!" when the basketball doesn't make it in the basket.
