Updates and such

Little boy and his tractor against the world.

Just summer fun going on here. We've been super busy. Thought it was time for new pics.

Beach trip with Nana & Poppy (my parents). Good thing it was actually warm this day.

Oh - and we are potty training! I've learned that this scenario lies on the top 10 list of how to push a "Mommy Panic Button":

The potty training toddler declares, "I go pee-pee!" in an urgent voice in the middle of the store... frantic mommy steers the cart toward the restrooms that are at the OTHER end of the very long store, no less. She races through the isles at top speed, barley zooming around an elderly lady manuvering a walker in an effort not to send her topling (She'd forgive me, right? I mean, my kid's gotta pee!). As we reach the bathroom, I look at the door in HORROR....sign reads, "Closed for cleaning" and a handy little supply cart blocks my enterance. WHAAAAAT? Mommy whirls and directs a panicked, "My child has to use the potty!" at the nearest employee. Oh good...another open restroom exists....AT THE OTHER END OF THE STORE (wasn't I just there?). So...my advice to moms of potty training kids is to map out each and every public restroom in your town before you attempt to walk out your front door.

First "real" fishing trip. He only threw his pole in twice (Oh, sorry, it is really called a rod if you want to get technical). Prineville, OR with Mike's parents.

Never too young to start learning how to operate the boat.

Tristan's favorite part is going "berry fas"!

And just for fun...the men flexing their muscles for the women.

My dad, Mike's dad, our little man, and Mike. Tristan won this round for sure.
