The Fair!

This past weekend we went to the Evergreen State Fair which was a blast! I saw lots of animals like horses, cows, chickens, and goats. I also got to sample yummy treats and check out all sorts of games. I can't wait til next year when I'm big enough to ride the rides!


Waiting in line for some goodies


Cheese!


Watching the horse show while snacking on popcorn


I liked the pony ride some of the time...


...but some times I just wanted down!




I LOVED the motorbikes!


Can we get one? PLEASE?

Summer Vacation

This month we went on our first family vacation to Eagle Crest just outside Bend, OR. It was SO much fun! Beforehand we stopped by Nana and Papa's for a couple of days where I got spoiled as always - thanks again for a fun time Nana and Papa!!

Nana and Papa's

Having fun in the backyard with Nana and Papa

Mama and me at the Corvallis Farmer's Market


Resting in the shade with Nana (it was almost 100 degrees!)

Eagle Crest

This was our house in Eagle Crest - I even had my own room!


We went for a walk every day on their trails


They had a great big basket of books I played with every chance I got!


We even went for a bike ride - I was excited at first but once we started moving I wasn't a big fan so we didn't go too far


Our last day we had deer in our backyard!


And a rabbit!

Newberry National Volcanic Monument

Daddy and me on a hike in a lava field


There were squirrels everywhere who wanted to eat my snacks!


We also saw a couple cool lizards


Family photo op!


We drove up to the top of the volcano to see the views but I was scared of the wind so Daddy stayed with me while Mommy checked out the scenery



At the state capitol
On our way home from our vacation we stopped for a rest in Olympia

Little Mother

Kelsey has become very attached to her dolls and stuffed animals lately. She LOVES to give them hugs and kisses and constantly cuddles with them. She's even protective of them if Kona or Riley gets too close. The other morning she was sitting at the table pretending to feed her baby. While I missed catching it on camera I did catch her talking to and playing with her baby.


I love taking care of my baby!


I love hugging and cuddling with Kitty. She goes everywhere with me!
