He's back.....Fancy Boy!

This last weekend Nehemiah made his ring bearer debut in our neighbor's wedding. He did a great job. Walked down the aisle about 3/4 of the way, threw the pillow, turned and gave someone a big smile, turned all the way around and started walking back toward me, then headed down the aisle once again after being redirected by me. At that point I went to the outside aisle to go get him, however, he had never quite made it to Dada who was up front because he was officiating the wedding. So then I had to chase him up the main aisle and grab him just in time to slip into a pew halfway up to watch the bride walk down. He enjoyed it, but loved dancing during the reception even more.

Fond Fair Memories

I definitely have fond childhood memories of visiting the Clackamas County Fair. A few years ago we started the tradition again of visiting every summer. Believe it or not, we even had fun in the 100+ degree sunshine. You know it's hot when Nehemiah drinks 2 glasses full of water within a matter of a few hours. The kids enjoyed digging in the corn pit. Asher was a farmer in a little theater performance, but quickly became too hot and decided the overalls needed to go. Phoebe looked cuter than ever with her little pony tail on top of her head. Nehemiah enjoyed seeing all the farm animals. I'm not sure he recognized all of them...you know he's used to seeing them in books. He did moo like a cow though. I ate teriyaki chicken and noodles and a real Hawaiian shave ice. We were then rescued from heat exhaustion by the marvelous air conditioning where the pie is sold. Can't wait to return next year!

Vice Beach Trip

Earlier this month we took another beach trip, but this time with Travis' side of the family. We stayed in Gleneden Beach near Lincoln City. It's always nice to get some quality time with the whole family. Highlights were eating smores by the firepit in the backyard (too windy on the beach) and playing Rockband on Playstation.

Jealousy

It's just not fair. My cousin Phoebe has more hair than me! Mama can't do anything cool like this to my hair because I have hardly any (I have grown a whole lot more though these past few months). Phoebe is younger than me and still has more hair. Girls...they always have better hair. But you know, boys always get the good eyelashes.

Playing Like a Big Boy

We visited the Portland Children's Museum for their free night on the first Friday of this month. It was Nehemiah's first time there and he loved being able to walk around freely and play with all the big kids. His favorite parts were the dig pit and ofcourse the water area. He actually tried to climb into the water feature that was his size.

Oak's Park

During the summer Oak's Park has a few mornings a week where they open up a bit early for those under 6 years old and then have a story and cookies and milk. We decided to try it out. Asher had a blast, however Nehemiah wasn't so sure of the rides. He loved when first being put on the motorcylce and car. He started saying beep beep and turning the steering wheel, but then he realized Mama was strapping him in and leaving him. Guess he's still a little young. We'll try again next year. He did enjoy Big Pink.
