Forrest getting ready for a bike ride-

Happy Forrest

Prescool Lantern Walk

Goofy Boys

Apple Cider!

Me and my buddy Greg, making apple cider.

Cold & Fun

Yes, it's true...Forrest likes to skate. And Dada was acting goofy again, doing something he called his 'Katey pose', not sure what he meant, but he sure looks cool. Having fun as the temperature drops. Can't wait to see the family soon!

Harth

We spent today choosing a hearthstone. Dada and me chose the perfect one, lugged it home, then went to work trying to put it in just the right spot. Casey helped too. I think we got a pretty nice one. Casey oiled the deck yesterday & it's pretty spectacular. And mom made me another funny looking scarf that I'll probably make Forrest wear.

My Preschool & Nuts

That's me sitting on about a million hazelnuts. I was pretending to be a squirrel, thinking squirrel thought, contemplating where to hide all these nuts.

If you're interested...this is where I go to school, I love it. Click Here

Pumpkin time!

Funny

So Dada's been playing on the roof again. I think he just likes to look down at the house from there & think about how pretty it is. He likes the colors Forrest & I have chosen. We think it's very modern. As you can see, we're not quite done yet. I'm almost finished putting the finishing touches on the last of the white trim. I think the colors look pretty sharp. We've all had a fun few weeks. The neighbors have even started to pain their houses next door the same colors!

We also took our bikes for a spin. Mama is trying to make it our main form of transportation. We'll see how long that lasts after a few rainy days of biking! But it's a lot of fun. Forrest especially likes his new helmet I picked out for him...it matches mine. Forrest loves his little trailer & shouts for joy when we ride down the street.

And as you can see, my brother is up to no good again, but he's still really funny. This week he's obsessed with hard-boiled eggs. He doesn't want to eat them, just see what happens when he smashed different things against them. Watch out!

My First day at School

I began my new school last week & it's a blast. So Much Fun! I can't wait to go back. I got a new fire truck lunch box so I'm pretty psyched. Here are some fun pixs of me, Forrest, my teacher Miss Sue, & our school angora bunny Mopsy. Mopsy is kind of the school mascot & pretty funny. It got to the tripple digits out here last week so we decided to give the Mopsy a haircut....you like it? I think she looks stunning!

Forrest wanted to go to school too so we let him stay the first day so he wouldn't feel left out. I have to talk to him about the underwear thing though, he's getting older & needs to wear some clothes now, especially at school. He agreed to put on something & then we went out to Bob's Red Mill after I got out of school. We were very excited & ate lots of pancakes. Forrest loves pancakes almost more than I do. Here he is celebrating.

My 4th Birthday & Other Fun Stuff

It was amazing! Every day for the past 3 months, I've asked my mom when it was coming & it finally came. So great, pinatas, birthday cake, friends, party hats, what else could I ask for. And thanks to all you who sent me wonderful gifts, I am really enjoying all my new stuff!

Otherwise, me & Forrest grew some amazing cucumbers. We thought that slugs were getting to the cukes, but then we caugt Forrest taking a nibble here... And I gave Forrest my old bike & I picked him out a matching helmet that says "I Love my Brain" on it. This was his first ride. He's a natural. More to come soon.

Oh Summer Fun!

Me & Forrest got a really cool present from auntie Melissa, uncle Ben, & Ella. Awesome! I put the wheelbarrow together with my mom & then we put it to use. There was so much to be done in the yard! I hauled plants, dirt, rocks, & tools, the jobs are endless. Forrest just wanted to go for joy rides, so I took him on a few. And yes, those are leg warmers he's wearing because he kept getting knee splinters.

My uncle Casey used our bike trailer this weekend & really tested out it's durability. This is the trailer that I've used for the past 3 years behind a bike to get around town when it's just too nice to be in a car. (don't worry Pop-Pop, we only take non-busy, safe, bike routes). The directions said it could carry 75 lbs. Casey biked it out to a weekend concert. He filled it up with a cooler, food & beer for the weekend, all his camping gear, & of course his banjo. It came back in almost one piece, so I would say it passed the test.
