Hayden's First Trike

Hayden got his first tricycle a couple of weekends ago.

It was kinda for his 18 month celebration, even though that really isn't a birthday.

I convinced Daddy that he needed it now cause when Hayden turns 2 it will be in the middle of winter and he won't be able to ride it outside.

(Daddy's kind of a sucker when it comes to his little boy. Especially when that little boy learned to say "bike" as soon we pulled the trike off the store shelf. And then Daddy was really for it when Hayden sat on the tricycle and said, "Vroom".)

Here is a video of Hayden on his tricycle:

4th of July Camping

We went camping over the 4th with Brian's cousins

(The Quigley's and Visser's).

We had such a great time.

"Who cares if it's pink, I can make anything look good."

"See what I mean! I look like a bad ace."

That works!

But he found it useful.

Who needs a baby doll, when you could haul around balls?

"I'm cute, no matter what I do."

If we weren't riding, we were eating.

The best kind of camping!

And an even closer look.

Mommy says, "Too Close!".
