Harvest Festival, Toddler bed and coloring!

a drive down the lane

it's pumpkin patch time

Enjoyed a visit to Baggenstos Farm where grandpa Mike and Abuela and Mama and I all enjoyed a walk in the pumpkins, a walk through the hay maze and a run around the playground. Sadly, we have yet to try their homemade french fries (made from their own potatoes!)

what we are doing these days...

I've taken after my mom and love pomegranates. I also enjoyed a day at Chucky Cheese riding all the trucks. Mom says that I'm easy to entertain as I like to just sit in them they don't even have to move (and in the case of the monster truck I prefer if it doesn't!)...

the 5 Rock Cowboy

So mom and I went up to 5 rock so she could do a trail ride...but I wanted to try it too. Last time I was on a horse I didn't like it much (I was just a few months old)...now I LOVE it! I told Blue to Giddy-up and Yeehaw!!! If you want to see a video of me riding go to my mom's facebook page and look at the video!

What I've been up to...

Drawing on the window with my cool present from Tia Carmen and Uncle Larry...WINDOW CRAYONS!

Hanging out with my buddy Noah on my papa's chair

Swimming in the pool and riding my tricycle (and yes...I have swim shorts on)...

Fun things I'm up to now...I LOVE Thomas the Train (Lovingly called "choo-choo". I sit through an entire 2 hour movie. Mama's favorite words that I say are "Alpaca" and "ket-tpup" (ketchup). I love going for bike rides on the back of Mama's bike. I love fruit strips from Trader Joes. I call them "Ta-da!" because when Mama first gave one to me she said "Ta-da" and the name stuck.

the big "TWO"

the big "TWO" birthday was celebrated with both sun and rain (and of course all the little people loved the rain!) Phoenix enjoyed an adult party as well as another party with his toddler friends. Notice the blue shirt in the last photo...it's a Greek shirt that his Tiotstia gave him!

papa's graduation

Just like papa...

I put my shoes on and go to get in the car...just like papa...well, except for one thing...

Deputy Sheriff Don

my mama's photo site

My mama decided that she better start a seperate blog for her photos since I get center stage on this blog (of course)...so you can look at her photos at artistseyephotography.blogspot.com

Oswald Park, Oregon

the secret hiding place

John Deer Tractor Day

Mama and Papa are cleaning up the churches tractor for sale and I got to help out. I love helping papa...especially when it comes to things with wheels.

Our Easter Celebration!

We have begun a tradition of easter egg coloring! Everyone had to make one...Abuela, Grandpa Mike, Tia Benita, Mama and Papa and our special visitor from Mexico, Marta. We've also started a tradition of visiting Sleighbells Gift Shop to enjoy their egg hunts and Easter celebration! They have a "guard turkey" that likes to get really close and intimidate you...they also had beautiful peacocks, chickens and bunnies. Happy Easter to everyone! JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN!

reading time at the Opazo's

Phoenix loves to do what Papa and mama are doing...

cars,cars,cars...

My new thing is cars. Papa found 50 for $6...so I have a ton. I carry them to bed, to play, to walk...they are my constant companions. What more could a boy want!

Phoenix in Phoenix

Pheonix and I enjoyed a visit to his name town of Phoenix, Arizona. He had a great time playing with his new friend Sami Friend (yes, that's her last name). I enjoyed quality friend time with Sherri my old college roomate (and her fabulous family) as well as a visit with Nick and Lisa (friends from Kuwait) as well as old high school students (now college graduates...where does the time go?). Thankfully the airplane trip went really well...although I'm not eager to fly anytime soon...traveling with a toddler is alot of work!
