Portland Bridge Pedal

A couple weekends ago we did the Portland Bridge Pedal ride with the Rogers Family across 6 of the main bridges in Portland. It was an awesome event!

Here we are with Portland (and some random kid I should have cropped out) in the background.

Before the race, ready to go!

The boys in their trailer.

Lilly and her constant attempts to get the helmet off.

Lilly looking like such a little girl in this picture, getting too big too fast!

Lilly Loves Raspberries!

Raspberries are in season and Lilly loves them! At the farmers market she screamed happily and very loudly when she first tried them. This is later that evening when she was very messy faced and found out that all the raspberries were gone. She was pretty sad.

"More Please!"

Maybe there are some in the box still...

Sad and messy faced.

How OUR Stroller gets cleaned

The ever helpful Lucy has figured out how to crawl up into the stroller to clean it out after Lilly has left behind O's and other delightful treats.

We took Lillian to her first concert this week, she had so much fun!

Rocking out on Da Da's shoulders.

What a little Rock Star!

Trying to get out of a cuddle hold with Ma Ma, she really wanted to keep moving!

Our attempt at taking a family picture.

Daddy and Lilly waiting for the concert to start.

All ready to walk to the concert.

And here they are with all the gear we carried... needless to say we decided to take the bus back home!

Zoo Trip With The Rogers

We took Lillian to the Zoo for the first time over the weekend with the Rogers. It was a beautiful day. The kids had fun. Lilly loved seeing animals and all the people. Here are some highlights.

Lilly watching everything from the stroller while becoming a sticky strawberry eating mess.

Eli also watching everything, what a cutie pie.

Coen tickling Eli, they are so funny together.

Our whole family watching the Elephants, Lilly's favorite. She laughed and laughed at them!

Taking a break at the kid play area, Coen showed off his running skills!

Lilly enjoying her stuffed Zoo Elephant. Lilly really has not been attached to stuffed animals until she came home with this doe eyed Elephant, she loves it and wants to snuggle it and drag it around with her.

Farm Fresh Eats

We always hit the Farmer's Market every week to get some farm fresh goodies. I realized last week that everything on Lilly's tray was all from the farmer's market or was grown locally and felt kind of proud... then we ate out for the next two nights, but got one night right!

Here she is with all her farmer's market produce, locally grown beef (we bought a fourth of a cow last summer), and Tillamook Cheese. She loved slurping the insides out of the tomatoes! She loves fruit and veggies!

Home Again! Home Again!

We are so happy to be home again! We have been sticking around the house mostly with some outings to mommy and baby group and to the gym but other than that just being home bodies. But even staying home is non-stop excitement. Lilly is a VERY BUSY baby! We have also been staying inside due to the extreme heat we have been having. We are so glad we have AC this summer.

Here is Lilly watching the dogs play outside, too hot for us to go outside!

Here she is again watching the puppies.

She is obsessed with dogs and cats and goes crazy when she sees one. She giggles, screams with joy, jumps up and down and flaps her arms. She is thrilled to have her own puppies to watch. She was screaming with delight watching them play outside.

She can crawl but has delicate knees so mostly she scoots around on her bottom.

Waiting for Daddy to come home.
She starts going to the door when the dogs get excited when the garage door opens, it is pretty cute!
