Warm November day

Dad fixed us some nice grilled cheese English muffins, eggnog and cottage cheese and it was so nice we had lunch on the deck in November!

My face, my tongue, my crayon

Koh - I love drawing more than just about anything else.

I get my whole face involved, too, look here.

We love our playground

And especially this seesaw, best for twins.  

Boo!

Guess which one of us is the Hissing Cockroach and which is the Lizard?

Jacob sleepover #2

Jacob came over for another slumber party, and we ate a jack-o-lantern pizza, then made cookies, then watched movies and eventually went to sleep.  

Then we went for a rainy day walk to Tryon Park and found a giant pacific salamander and some juicy juices.

I'm an airplane factory

Abe: I love paper airplanes and I make a lort of them and they fly far, too.   Here's my production for just one day.  

Pumpkin patch day

We gathered our Halloween pumpkins today at the Pumpkin Patch.  And rode the hayride, and got lost in the Corn Maze, and ate some apples, drank some cider and jumped on BIG hay bales, too.

Dress Up Day at Kindergarten?

Abe: The students dressed like adults and the teachers like kids today.

Check out our fine duds!

Where's my tooth?!

Abe: My middle lower teeth have been loose for a month, and today one just wiggled on out.

WOW check out my new smile!  Koh says I can drink with my mouth shut now using a straw through that hole.

I love blueberries and caves, too

Koh: We camped and hiked and skateboarded on Mt St Helens this weekend.  Then we went into this Ape Cave long long dark and cold tunnel, which was the biggest cave we've ever seen.   Photos don't work in there.  It was drippy wet, too.  Plus we went to another cave we had to crawl through, and Dad didn't even fit.  

But my favorite part was the wild blueberries and huckleberries we found all along this trail.  Wow, so many we took some home in a bag.   So good, yum, yum.   We can see why the bears like 'em.  

First day of Kindergarten

Koh: Watch out world, here we come!

Glacier National Park Vacation

Koh & Abe: We drove in the van a long ways for our summer vacation, all the way to Montana and back. But it was worth it. Check out our highlight reel: Glacier National Park Vacation

You are my Sunshine

Koh: You are MY SUNSHINE. Grandma helped us build these rockin' Tinker Toy guitars with built-in microphones, and she taught us this song.

4th of July fun

Our pal Santi came over for a 4th of July BBQ and we romped and dog-piled in the grass, ate some hot dogs and rode a skateboard that Grandpa Tim brought us.   

Then we lit sparklers, smoke bombs and crazy fireworks like "chickens-laying-eggs" and watched the big show on the river while the full moon rose.  Wow, that was a fun day! 

Family trail run - our first

Koh: Dad was real impressed with me when I ran some trails along the Deschuttes River this weekend on our camping trip.   I jumped rocks, turned corners and avoided every rattlesnake.  I'm fast and I especially like the downhill parts best.    He said mommy would be very happy with my new skills.  I fell and cried only once.

So tonight after dinner back home I took the whole family out and was the leader for our first all-family trail run in the nature park by our home.   Wow that was fun, look at me in this video.   I fell and cried only once.   We're going to do more of these, mommy says.
