Our Morning with the Great Grandparents

9:00am and the chain saw starts, the "little tractor" as Bryson calls it makes its way down the beach. My grandparents and their neighbor friend are out tendering to their yard just as they do every year. Its beautiful, they take such great care of their little world on the beach, its inspiring. I only hope that when I am their age my ticker is still as strong as theirs.

Bryson puts on his coat and boots and we make our way out of the house and meet them on the beach. You see they are our neighbors. Its such a blessing!! I love that my Son gets to play on the beach where (my Mom) his Grandma grew up and were I myself have played. He gets to wave to them out the window and visit many times, "Over the river and through the woods.... "
Here is our morning on the beach enjoying the days together.

King Salmon Derby 2014

Opening Weekend:
30 Hours on the boat, 4 fishing poles, 3 fish & TONS of food!! Thats two King Salmon Derby's for Bryson, Four for B & Thirty for me. As for my Parents.... Ancient HA!  We saw Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, Sea lions & we had great weather!

Bryson loves his Papa's Boat! He wants to drive, he thinks munching all day on snacks is amazing and water in a bucket of toys to play in pretty much change his life! When we get a fish on and everyone jumps he isn't quite sure whats happening and then the water works start up. Its kind of a mini circus but thats how our life is. Some rides are fun and some you wish you had never went on.

Bye Bye Sugar Bugs

I'm not sure I have mentioned this on here before but I kinda have a little obsession with getting my teethe cleaned. I think its about every four months, if I can wait that long! After working in the dental field I have seen a variate of mouths and I am SO glad I kiss only one person these days! I don't miss the dating years!!
When Bryson's little teeth started poking through he learned what a tooth brush was real fast. I have seen to many kids get put under anesthesia to get their teeth worked on... DON"T EVEN get me started on this subject! I'm sure a future blog is in-store.

Our daily tooth brushing around our house is Bryson laying on his back on the floor, one of us kneeling over him and brushing his teeth while try to hold him still. Does he like it? Not really. But its tough love. I chose not to neglect my child because he may not like to do it but his health is in my hands.
I got my teeth cleaned a while back and wanted to see how Bryson would do. I let my (friend) Hygienist know I wasn't expecting it to go well and if he cried at least his mouth would be open... Much to my surprise...

HE DID AMAZING!!! No cavities and twelve little teeth! Thanks Lisa!
