Having A Blast Tubing


This is Trey on his very first tube ride! He thought he was the coolest! Our neighbors have been taking us boating nearly everyday and this last time we got to go tubing. Trey was so pumped up. They taught him all the signals for faster, slower, and stop. He did great, his smile got bigger the faster we went. He was comfortable enough to wave at the ladies (Mrs. Janet and Mrs. Deb our neighbors) on their decks when he passed by them. Dad and I were filled with pride to see how well Trey handled himself on the tube. He had great self-control and followed all the rules. We are amazed to watch a moment like this and see how much he has grown and our confidence in him can began to grow too.
Here are all 3 boys on the big tube. Dad had them both between his arms and did receive a few bumps to the jaw when the tube went over the wakes:) Taatjes was yelling "faster" the whole time! This tube is not going as fast as it looks in the picture. Just fast enough for the boys to feel like they are crazy strong boys for holding on the entire ride. Dad had to pry apart Taatjes hands from the handles when they stopped he had such a tight grip on them. Again, what a blast...yes I did get a ride all by myself:)

6 Months Old and 7 Teeth

Yes, he has 4 up top and 3 on the bottom with one on the way. Yes, it is June and he is wearing a hat with a sweatshirt. (60 degrees with no sun)

Teaching Little Brother

Taatjes couldn't be happier in moments like this. Having his big brother giving him a ride on his bike was both a surprise and a pleasure. Taatjes has his own tricycle and is reminded daily that the tricycle is his bike and Trey has a big bike now. But, "when you turn 4 you can have a big bike like mine". So to go outside and have Trey offer him a ride on the big bike was great! They both had a blast pushing and getting pushed all around the drive way. A rare sight that I had to record so I can prove to them during the rougher times of the teenage years how much they loved each other:)
