Last weekend we ventured South and West for a basketball tournament. A bunch of the friends from surrounding states and provinces get together for a few friendly games. :) The tournament was in Woodland, WA, but we stayed with Julie in Gresham, OR. We took a family picture, mom!!! 
The team Jason was on consisted of other guys from here in North Central Washington. On the way over, they stopped at the Nike Outlet store and bought "team uniforms". So, just before they took the court for their first game, they ripped off their warm-up sweats to reveal these..... Yi JianLian jerseys and shorts from the China Olympic team. It was quite amusing!
Here are the guys.l. to r. standing: Jeremy, Braeden, Joel, Geoff, Jason
squatting: Josh and Forrest
We had a lot of fun watching the games. I got to see a few of my friends from growing up!! The boys enjoyed it, too, but were exhausted by the final game.
Here is the traveling trophy. It says Tournament Champions Annual Friendly Basketball Invitational. Their were 10 teams and our team (officially called North Central Washington, not China) did a really great job. The first game seeded the teams and then it was single elimination after that. The guys won their first game to get a good seed, and then won the next two which got them into the championship game against a team from Alberta (which included Jessica's brother, Collin!!) The good guys ended up losing in a close battle, so this trophy signifies what might have been. They had a lot of fun, and Jason definitely wants to play again next year.
Tristan enjoyed the Golden Oreos that Auntie Julie brought. He kept opening them up and eating out the frosting, and we assumed he was eating the cookie too, so we kept giving him another one at his request. A few cookies later, we found a little bag that he was stuffing all of the frostingless cookies into. He also gave one to Wade, as you can see in the picture above this one.
It was fun sitting on the sidelines with the other wives or girlfriends. Trese was a big help with the boys!!

Cute pics! Nice to see the basketball action. Tristan and Wade keep getting cuter and cuter. :)
Hey there!:) Hope you don't mind me checking out your blog once in awhile. You probably remember me as Kandace Brotzman. I met you when we stayed at your parents a few times. A couple of the times we were there was when we visited Duane.
Your boys are ADORABLE!!!
