If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. treat others as you’d like to be treated, etc.

Father/children weekend. Living dangerously under our front porch (garage) on this rainy day. We also learned about New Seasons’ apple pie.

When you get tired of filling up your spray bottle for your garden starts 😂

Love these two, and I’m feeling especially appreciative and lucky to have such a wonderful partner to help navigate this life. Pax’s face in this photo cracks me up. We got out to the Jenkins Estate and enjoyed Monday evening in the gardens and letting Pax run around like a fool in the grassy open areas. Most of the Rhodies were past their prime, but a few were still looking good. My favorite part was slowly looking around all the community garden plots and what people were doing with theirs. I took some notes. I think we’ll all be happy when this virus business is over and we can feel safer going out more often (and maybe having a beer or two on a patio somewhere – Oregon isn’t the same without that).

The bees love the lavender.

Stylin’ in his Nike track jacket this morn as we watered the veggies. Thanks gramma @hag1961 😊

One moment you think your kid’s a genius and the next moment he’s half naked with an upside down princess sticker on his forehead and banging repeatedly on your CPAP machine.

“So I says to the guy, I says to the guy, ‘the cow goes MOO!’”

FaceID finally just said ‘nope, you are not my owner and you must enter a passcode’.

I’m either turning into Bukowski or I’m joining a motorcycle gang for dads who sold their motorcycles.

Funny to think I’m older now than my parents were when I graduated.

Keeping it classy with a tire swing.

Now that’s what grandmothers are for. Happy Mother’s Day, mom. Thanks for always being there.

To the woman who used the word “toilet” in her marriage vows, I love you. You are an amazing mother and Pax and I are so lucky to have you. Grateful for you everyday.

Thanks @erin__franke!

Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful

Man I feel like I just broke out of jail
