60th Annual Greek Fest!!

One things for sure, you don't want to miss the Greek Festival!!! The food is so, so yummy. I really love the spanakopita and the souvlaki. Here's a tip - have them dip the bread in the souvlaki sauce - um, um, um. Oh, of course you have to top it off with some loukamades. Just beware, the bees will fight you for them!!



I really loved watching the dancing too. Caits even tried to dance like them - it was silly.

Playground Fun




Some playground fun with Caits :) You know, I've always been a bit hesitant to get on the tire swing, but Caitlyn got up on it and I figured she'd like some company. (Not to be outdone by my little sister!!)

I conquered the swing!

So, there's this swing in front of our house that I always try to get on but can never quite get my legs up and around the seat so I always have to have my mom or dad help me up. Well, guess what - I jumped up on it the other day and stayed on!! Check me out :)

Fancy hair

LO Farmers Market






We hit the LO Farmers Market last weekend with Chloe and Katie. There were so many yummy peaches, and nectarines to sample but the best treat was the kettle corn!! After checking out all the goodies as the market we headed to a little playground to run around a bit.

It was super fun and perfect for Caitlyn... she loved this little climbing wall thing (go figure :).

Ahh... The Cork


We love heading to the Cork on a Friday night when Mom doesn't feel like cooking. As usual, they had some great Irish folk music playing and after some good grub, I asked dad if he would dance with me. I had some pretty impressive dance moves :) Caitlyn even decided to join in on the fun...


My long time school buds




As you know, I'm a pre-schooler now and I LOVE being in pre-school. I have 20 friends in my class but two of them are kind of special because we've been together since I started school when I was seven months old!! Nico and Amelia are my best friends at school - we love being silly together!!

Sweet sweat band


Caits rockin' her new sweat band... on her ankle (yes - all her doing :)

Jump, Jump...Jump around


My friend Bailey's little sister Parker got this awesome trampoline for her birthday. Caits and I had to try it out of course. Caitlyn was a jumping machine!! I'm going to tell Santa that WE want a trampoline!! Do think he can get it down the chimney??

Sunday Parkways!


They do this thing here in Portland called Sunday Parkways where they close miles of roads in different neighborhoods to only bike traffic and everyone and they're mother hops on a bike and cruises the neighborhood. This past weekend it was in our hood so Caits and I hopped into the trailer and hit the road with mom and dad.

The weather was iffy that day but it was pretty nice when we started so we thought we might get lucky. Just as you may have guessed when we were about 40 blocks from home, it started POURING down rain. Mom and Dad looked like they had gone for a swim!! Caitlyn and I stayed pretty dry in our trusty trailer but the drips did eventually find their way in and I wasn't so happy about that. Mom and Dad told me to relax and have some fun with it (cause what else can you do right?).. but let's just say they were better sports and I was!! I'm going to work on it for next time :)
