Tristan's New Hat



Our little boy is 6 1/2 months old already! He's got one shiny new tooth coming in and is scooting around the house like crazy. We rearranged the living room to help keep him in one spot a bit better. He's in a big boy car seat now since his infant seat just wasn't big enough any more. Last weekend we painted the entry way and living room which went amazingly well with a baby in the house. Daddy took his son shopping on Sunday so Mommy could finish putting things away and cleaning. Well, when they go shopping, something always comes home for the little guy and this time it was a new hat! So now we're adding to our growing collection of camo gear with a new baseball hat that says "My 1st ATV" with a trike on it. When they got home from Fleet Farm, Tristan was smiling so much-I think it was all the attention he got from everyone in the store. He didn't want to take his hat off which is very unusual for him so I think he's going to be living in a baseball hat like his daddy.

Where Did The Year Go?



It seems like it was just yesterday that we were in the snow and cold of January and now it's creeping back up on us again! At lease we're getting one more shot of summer weather in September. Labor Day weekend was beautiful weather with lots of sun and fun up at the Lake with our good friends the Kitzmans and our niece Shawna and nephew Jerod. The weather couldn't have been more perfect so the kids got to spend a lot of time in the lake.
We had a couple of fun dinner too-we did a spaghetti dump for everyone on Saturday night-their faces were priceless when I dumped out the spaghetti on to the table and told them to dig in. I would post pics but I was busy dumping out dinner! Sunday night we celebrated Garin and Papa's birthdays with a Luau Taco Party. My good friend Mia came out for the afternoon and evening with her daughter Ayla so it was a great three day weekend. Wish the summer wouldn't have to come to an end that's for sure!

There is one good thing about fall, Football season! And my dad who has been a loyal Vikings Fan living in Wisconsin for over 35 years has finally gotten his little revenge..........
