big boat and fritz

One Saturday in June, Chad took the kids down to the "big boat" and fritz for lunch. They went with some friends too and apparently it was a day for being silly! Looks like they had a great time (and I know I did scrapbooking).

Tristan tidbits

Don't why he's growling at the utensils!
These are not the most riveting videos but they document the early days of him walking (at the very young age of 16 months!):

Boat jaunt to Poulsbo

Early in the summer we decided to take a day trip to Poulsbo. We did our usual stuff there - the boardwalk, the park, Possum's, the book stop and dinner at JJ's fish house. And just like our last trip, we ended up coming home in the rain (poor Chad), although Tristan didn't seem to mind :)

Mother's Day

I always like to get a picture on Mother's Day with my kids. This year I got one with my mom and Abby too, 3 generations of girls! Unfortunately we had some focusing issues (I think my f-stop was too low) so not everyone is in focus, but any picture is better than none right?

fiesta

On Cinco de Mayo, I took the kids to a fiesta at Jamie's school. It was a bit frustrating at first to be packed into a small gym with so many people and with me having a stroller but we settled in and the kids had a fun time.

Tristan hung out and watched the band:


Abby made a shaker:



Jamie played BINGO and won a frog!
