Can he really be 12??

My firstborn turned 12 last weekend. Unbelievable. Am I really that old?! (Don't answer that.)

Here's a little memory lane to show that he's always been a cute kid . . .

Here he is at about 1 year old, with me and my brother:
At 2 with Grandpa Roger:

At about 6 years old (at Azteca!):

At his baptism shortly after his 8th birthday:

Age 9:

10th birthday party with cousin Mitchell & sister Karina

And now on his 12th birthday! We wrapped his gift in a Justice box as a joke.

In it was a USC sweatshirt from Uncle Rob that he wears almost every day.

Here is the dinner he requested for his dinner & movie night with friends:

Here they are before going to the movie: Marc, Tristan, Brett, Richard & Issaya.

We are so thankful for Tristan. He is a thoughtful, smart, funny, and trustworthy kid. I just wish he wouldn't grow up so fast!
