A Rolling We Will Go

May 2009- What kid doesn't love a good hill to roll down? We stood here for a while so the kids could enjoy this little pleasure.
But for Zach it was more like. . .

In no time he will be rolling like the pros-

The Playgroup Posse

May 2009- AHHH Playgroup! Avery and her friends were in the afternoon kinder so every Wednesday they got together at a different house for Playgroup. They did the things girls do Play, fight, Play, Laugh, fight, Play, Play, Play. It was great for everyone.

One of the times they were at my house they all dressed like princesses (there could never only be one) and made up a play for Zach and I. It had everything in it. . .

Running Princesses

Biting Snakes

Sword fighting

And Dead Princesses (you can't have just one)

All the makings of a real fairytale

We also worked on smiling

AHHH Beautiful!!!

Ignorance is Bliss

May 2009- It was one of those Portland days and we found the perfect activity. We decided to all, as a family, walk in the March of dimes walk-a-thon. We didn't know how far it was going to be until we got there. It was just over 6 miles going over bridges, along the river, and through down town. Those who put it together really knew how to throw a walk-a-thon, there was a pit stop every mile with a snack, drink, and a giveaway (which Josh LOVED). There were also a few marching bands to keep everyone motivated.

It was such a beautiful day.

I think the key to the happiness on the walk-a-thon was not to tell the kids how long we were walking. After we were done and we told them they were so proud of them selves, as they should be!
