Idaho is for Boys

Boy oh boy, I loved Idaho. There were frogs to catch, nests to pillage , smore's to roast, four wheelers to ride... aahhhhh. Speaking of four wheelers, I took a 3 hour ride with my dad and papa. During the last hour, my head started to bob around (zzzzzzzzz) but I still refused to get into the relief car. Gotta. Finish. What. I. Started. zzzzzzzzzzzz.


I had a great time riding my bike with my cousin Kash. He knows how to stand up when he peddles! He's very cool. And papa let me play in the mud. It was lovely. Mama says that city mud is different from the wilderness mud. One I can play with, the other...not so much.


So I have a new favorite song. It's about a very sad cowboy named Hank Williams. He says he's lonesome blue. I have been asking over and over and over again why he's so sad. Daddy says it's because his girlfriend went bye bye. We should give him a double hug. That will make him better. Last night I told my mama that we should send him a letter in the mail. Anything to put this poor cowboy out of his misery.

I'm back!

Well sorry for the delay, but I am waiting on some photos of my awesome trip to California (ahem!). So for now, you'll just have to hear about it and hopefully I will be able to insert a photo later. I went to visit my family and had a great time! The highlight was probably the pink popcorn and cotton candy at the San Francisco Zoo. Everyone else went to see the animals. I was there for the sugar.

I also got an early birthday present. A REAL big boy bike! Once I figured out I could actually do it on my own, I told my mom to "wet go!!" And I was off!

My Grammy also signed me up for a couple of swim lessons. Initially I was NOT happy about it. But then my mom told me that the teacher was actually a swimming princess. !! Well why didn't she just say so? From then on, I was a happy participant. And when I got back to Portland, I took even more swim lessons. In fact, my favorite day was when I figured out that I actually like to dunk my whole body under the water. From that moment forward, I completely lost track of what the rest of the class was doing. I was busy dunking, coming up for air, dunking, coming up for air, dunking.... So much FUN!



I loved the 4th of July this year! We started out the day by going to a rodeo. I got to ride a pony, eat popcorn, cotton candy, and watch cowboys fall off of their horses. It was great. Then we went home and set off some fireworks. I didn't like the loud ones AT ALL. My dad actually tried to take me to the big city production at 9 PM, but we had to come home immediately. They were not quiet!

Last weekend I was the ring barer in Tony and Brittany's wedding. Me. In a tux. Can you stand it? My parents were a little nervous that I would battle putting on so much clothing on such a hot day. But I loved it! My shiny shoes really flipped the disco switch in my body. I couldn't contain myself. They needed to be danced!

Tomorrow we are going to Idaho! YAY! There has been a lot of talk about how much fun I am going to have. I'll let you know how it goes...
