VISITING THE TAYLORS FOR CHRISTMAS

We visited the Taylors a week before Christmas and had the best time!

We played board games, video games, and laser tag, went to Taiyaki, and just goofed off and had fun at the house!

TAYLOR THANKSGIVING VISIT – DAY 2

Day Two with the Taylor gang was so fun! We started the day making gingerbread houses; then we went to Bullwinkle’s for arcade games, Go Karts, the scariest zip line ever, and bowling; and finally, we ended the night with dinner at Corner 14.

FROG POND FARM

We took Kenji and Sakura to Frog Pond Farm in Wilsonville. It was really fun!

There were a bunch of animals to pet and feed.

Even CAMELS?! By the way, they immediately stole our food cup. Judging from the many food cups on the ground, I think they do that a lot.

Plus, there were games, slides, and even a big maze.

One of our very favorite things, though, was rolling around this huge hamster wheel. Kenji and I know how to have fun!

PLAYGROUND W/ KENJI & SAKURA

After Nana’s birthday party, we went to the playground across the street and had a ton of fun. Buckle up, because you’re about to see lots of play time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANA!

It was Nana’s birthday, and the Taylor gang came down for the occasion! Yay!

We made letters to create a cool “Happy Birthday” sign.

And we made birthday cupcakes.

And then Nana arrived and we celebrated her latest trip around the sun! Happy birthday, Nana!

KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 5

Kenji and Sakura were supposed to leave today, but it snowed and got really icy. So we got to keep them for an extra day!

KENJI & HANUKKAH NIGHT 4

It was another amazing day with Kenji and Sakura! We woke up early and hit the ground running.

A little Sakura trivia: she loves the harmonica.

We went to Nana and Papa’s house for an early Christmas celebration.

Then we went home and lit the candles for the fourth night of Hanukkah.

KENJI’S 6th BIRTHDAY (DAY TWO)

Last night, we ate pizza and stayed up late. Then we were up early for another day at the Great Wolf Lodge!

We started the day with some morning yoga.

Then it was time to hit the wave pool.

And, of course, we had to hit my favorite water slide, River Canyon Run.

It was an amazing weekend celebrating Kenji’s 6th birthday and we had so much fun!

THE K-STORM

Kenji visited and we immediately got into action mode. We played “Fight for the End,” built roller coasters, and made tie-dye shirts.

Then the next day, we went to Oaks and had the best time ever!

Finally, on our last day, we went to the park and had fun on the basketball court. It’s always the best time when the K-Storm visits!

HAPPY EASTER, CUZ

Today is Kenji’s first Easter!

I got Kenji the same stacker toy that was my favorite when I was a baby. He likes it, too!

I also played with a new toy I got myself from the Museum of Flight.

Happy Easter, Kenji!
