Pie for dinner

Tonight dad let us have four pies for dinner!

Look what I found

Before and after

Attack of the Lego Heros!

Car runs over Koh

My first ramp jump. My first blog post!

We made our own Christmas tree

Dad helped us gather up from nature all the parts then we sprayed it then we decorated it.

What do you think - do you love it too?

We bicycled to dinner in December

Spaghetti Factory, one of our favorites.

Cousin Jillian

Our 13-year-old cousin Jillian visited from Delaware for Thanksgiving and boy did we have fun with her and her mom and dad.  We cried we were so sad she left. 

Snow season outing #1 - Mazama Lodge hike

Cold feet fixed with warm fire and hot cocoa..

Koh stalk walking with the geese in the park today

Koh: Watch closely and you'll see me almost fly...

Leaf pile selfie

Boo!

We rarely dress the same, because it scares the people.  

I won a race!

Abe: I ran this 1k fun run today and came in first, I even beat the "rabbit" runner!  Wow that was fun, but made me tired since I don't know how to pace myself.

Then we picked up grandma and went to THREE fun farms where we solved the corn maze, jumped on hay bales, rode a hayride, drank fresh cider and even picked our own fresh apples.

Cycle Cross #1, Apple Festival

Abe: this weekend we raced in cycle cross for the first time, which is this crazy sport where they make you ride on hills crowded with other riders and jump off your bike and carry it over walls and steps.  Can you see me in this bike crash and pile up at the start line?

Then we went to an apple harvest festival, tasted 49 different apples, then bought 47 pounds of our favorite ones!  Applesauce!  Apple crisp!!  Apples every day!!!

   

When I play hooky...

Dad's reading the Adventures of Tom Sawyer to us and we're learning things like playing hooky.

He asked us what we would do if we play hooky and Abe told him "go buy a remote control car" and Koh said he'd "go to LegoLand".

South Beach State Park

We took dad here for his birthday this year.  Here are all our pics.

We're learning to run, and Ciara is helping

This time we ran with our pal Ciara, a 1500m cross country race!

We love Rooster Rock State Park

Rooster Rock State Park, one of our local favorites

Summer Vacation with Dad

Mom: The boys are on an incredible 10-day vacation to Yosemite and other glorious places with Mark. You can see photos and maps of their adventures here:

Voodoo donut Saturday breakfast

Voodoo donuts just a scenic bike ride from dads new place

Oaks Amusement Park - new rides

We scored unlimited rides bracelets today so dad said we could ride till we dropped.  Which we did, including two rides we were too scared to ride before today.  Check us out on the Screaming Eagle, dad wouldn't even go with us.

Koh enroute home: "Dad, all this fun makes me a little tired"

We're Tutor Doctors, too

Dad sometimes hires us to work at his company Tutor Doctor and we like it because it's doing fun stuff like marching in parades.  See how cool we are?   That's our friend Ciara and her mom.  

We love railroad tracks

From dad's place we can walk to railroad tracks and we just love playing on them.  

Backpack #1 Indian Mountain

For the first time in our lives we carried everything we needed to camp in the wild.  To be safe we brought Lilly and Maddie and their parents.  We watched the full moon rise, the sunset, the sunrise, threw many rocks and dust bombs, had a campfire and climbed a mountain.  

Plan B key

Daddy sometimes forgets the key to our new apartment.  Good thing Koh and I are brave, agile and skinny so we can save the day.  

Happy July 4th!

Today we had our last ever party at our Parkhill home, and invited over our Parkhill pals. It was a fun day with a bald eagle circling above our bicycle parade, a hotdog BBQ, then a whole bunch of fireworks we got to light as well as watch. 

Sunday Parkways and circus tricks

We took dad on this 10 mile bike ride on the closed streets of north Portland today and got to do circus tricks at one of the parks.  Check us out.

2014 camping trip #1: Deschuttes River state park

Dad look at this giant snake skin!  Dad let's go on a sunset bike ride.  Dad we're going to the beach. Dad I'm going fishing.  Dad do you remember the rabbits?  Dad I'm hungry. Dad will u read to us?  Dad...

Arm

Abe: I like baseball and I'm pretty good. Today I threw the ball at the dunk tank at the Rieke school carnival and dunked the teacher three times.

1st grade term projects done!

Koh: Did you know I'm an expert on fruit bats?

Abe: I learned a lot about bobcats for my project - do u have any question?

Play date with William

Abe: William is my best buddy and is my classmate, too.  We like hanging out and today we had a play date and Koh came too.  We played wii and ping pong then went on an outing thru the woods up to the schools and back to William's home all the time kicking two soccer balls.  

We want to do that again, dad, ok?
