ahhh, to be young

So we have done the whole "listen to your Rice Krispies talk to you" with Zach (maybe the only reason he eats the cereal) But this morning his head was bent over his bowl of Kix...I asked him what he was doing and he said,

"Mom, I can hear them!"

"Oh really, what are they saying?" I asked

He looked up with wide eyes, and in a dramatic voice said,

"Kick, Kick, Kick!"

Lily loves Oregon because...

the rose garden is AMAZING!

the trail by our home is lined with 2 miles of blackberry bushes

Zach loves Oregon because...

he blows bubbles for HOURS in the great northwest weather

the bears are big

Our first Family picture in Oregon

So here we are...official Oregonians! (and official bloggers too!) We are going to try and live it up for the next 7 months or so...you know, see the sights, find some cool things to do! This was a minor league game in Portland...Zach ended up leaving with a ball...not because he caught one, but because a nice old man thought it was cute he spent half the time in the isle holding up his glove "waiting" for a fly ball! (the other half of his time was spent in his chair eating a snow cone!) BASEBALL ROCKS!
