My Baby Brother

It's almost time for my baby brother to be born and I am so excited to meet him. These are the pictures we took while baby "B" is in Mommy's belly. Hopefully I get to post some real pictures of him and introduce you soon!

Summer

I'm finally catching up my blog from this summer and have tons of pictures to show you. I was way to busy having fun to be on the computer, sorry! Here's a quick rundown of all the fun stuff we did...chased bubbles, drew on the sidewalk, went to family BBQ's, celebrated my friends Kaila and Nana's birthdays, went to the zoo (a lot!), met Bob the Builder at the Children's Museum, rode the Max train, went to Oaks Park with my cousin Nadallie, played with cousins and family, got sick =(, played in all the water I could find, went on a few day trips to the beach, hiked to a waterfall, went to Sandy Mountain Festival, walked around the waterfront, played at the mall and outside playgrounds, got new books at the library, and helped Daddy mow the yard. Phew I'm tired!

Oregon State Fair

We went to the Oregon State Fair with Caden again this year. We got to see the animals, climb on tractors, check out army vehicles, decorate cookies, play games, and go on the rides. It was so much fun!! I loved the games with prizes and the rides, but the mean people wouldn't let me go on most of them. I really wanted to go on the roller coasters but the lady said I was too little, whatever!

I can't wait until next year when I'm a really big girl and Caden and I can go on all the rides together.

Camping at Frog Lake

We went on my very first camping trip in August. It was so much fun! We tried to go to Lost Lake but it was already full, so we found the very last spot at Frog Lake. I loved the tent and had lots of fun playing with my toys in there. I got a really cool new Princess bed, but it was scary to sleep in by myself so I got to sleep with Mommy and Daddy in their bed.

We also went for a hike around the lake, threw lots of rocks in the water, floated around in the boat, and ate yummy smores by the campfire. We never made it fishing but me with fish hooks was probably a bad idea anyway.

Enchanted Forest

We went to the Enchanted Forest for the first time this summer. It was really cool with little houses, towns, slides, and fun rides. I got a little scared in some of the dark houses, but I tried to be brave. I even went on the bumper boats all by myself (for a few minutes until I couldn't find mommy in the crowd and asked to get out) and on the big roller coaster with Daddy. My favorite things were the big slide and the train.

Family Reunion

Earlier this summer we went to the Barker family reunion (Grandpa Richardson's side) at Ft. Stevens in Astoria. We had a lot of fun playing on the beach and checking out the ship wreck. Then we went back to the picnic area and I played with all my cousins while Grandpa Richardson ran the auction for the adults.

We were almost ready to leave and I decided to drink a cup of sand. NOT a good idea! It was really yucky and I just looked at Mommy with a horrified expression on my face. But then everyone started laughing so I turned into a goofball running around in circles and laughing with sand oozing down my face. Daddy finally helped me wash it all out (or drink it actually, I didn't understand the concept of spitting) and then we drove home.

Happy Birthday to Me

I turned 2 on July 6th and I am such a big girl now. I'm able to say so many words and starting to put small sentences together. We had a birthday party at my house with friends and family and I got so many nice presents. Here's the pictures from the party (sorry for the weird colors, our camera got stuck in some wacky setting)...
