Tree Hugger

Here's CJ after music class and on her way to her last day of school. We can't believe her first year is over already.

PS - You can catch a glimpse of Mama's new ride in the background.

The Girls are Getting Old

No, we aren't talking about the one who is 3 and 11/12.  Mama and Little B are feeling old.  Little B's been walking around with a crooked tail all day after her hiking and swimming and Mama ended the day with a crooked back after helping Daddy scoop 4 yards of garden mulch.  CJ helped a little bit, but had more fun sitting on the porch looking cute.

The Beach

Well, almost.  Today's hike took us to Kelley Point Park - where the Willamette and Columbia rivers meet.  CJ was excited that Little B joined us for the hike.  Not much walking, but a nice snack on the logs, a tree swing, caterpillars and some water to play with made her happy.  Little B had fun fetching sticks in the water.

Welcome Baby C

CJ has a new little cousin, Baby C, and she is so excited to meet her.

Oh My!

We had better make it to the store quickly. When Mama opened the fridge, CJ shouted "Do we only have one beer left?!?!"

The Parade

Each year Mama and CJ have a tradition of going to a local kids parade.  Today we met some friends to watch the action:

We followed it up with a quick treat at a bakery and visit with Ramona at the park on our way back to the car:

Take a Picture of Me

The girl who wouldn't sit still a couple of years ago to have her picture taken with her cousins is now asking for photo shoots.  After a few still shots, she performed Jingle Bells over and over for a movie.
