TRISKELEE FARM

Kenji is here!

He’s a big animal lover, so we went to Triskelee Farm in West Linn. I was also excited to see the pigs and llamas (turned out they were actually alpacas) because they’re my favorites in Minecraft!

First, we waited for our farm guide in a cool barn.

Kenji and Aunt Lisa played a game of ping pong in the barn.

While we were waiting, Kenji and I liked running down the little ramp outside the barn.

Then it was time to see the animals. The goats were first.

Kenji went right in and immediately started feeding them.

I was pretty scared of them and terrified at the idea of feeding them…but I did it anyway because I’m super brave!

Then it was time to see the pigs. Daddy liked this fella, Fungi.

And Kenji and I hung out with Shiitake.

Then it was time for the alpacas.

I definitely was not going to feed them, but Kenji did!

It was around this time I was wondering when the farm tour would be done…

…But there were still ostriches to see!

Kenji was immediately ready to feed them some corn.

Daddy liked feeding them, too.

I liked holding the big soft ostrich feather.

The ostrich I liked best was the one in this cage…

…the baby!

Then it was off to see the horses. Daddy loved them!

Thanks for the tour, Triskelee Farm!

SPRING VISIT TO KENJI’S, PART ONE

Me, Mommy, and Daddy did a quick weekend trip up to Kenji’s house in Seattle. When we got there, Kenji was napping, so I took a long walk around the neighborhood.

By the time we got back, I was VERY tired.

But Kenji was awake! I gave him one of my syringes and extension sets because he likes playing with them in the water.

Then I showed him the joys of Minecraft.

Mommy gave him an octopus t-shirt she made and he strutted around like a real runway model.

And Daddy played blanket jail with him. Kenji’s a real goofball.

MORE EARLY CHRISTMAS & FINAL NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

Aunt Lisa mixed up Kenji’s animals during the night, so Kenji had to fix them right away.

Did you know that Kenji really likes balloons?

I opened my gifts from the Taylor’s, which included this great book about the 50 states.

It had a whole bunch of facts about every state, all the state flags, capitals, and American presidents. Thanks, Taylor’s!

Kenji got some cool Disney cars, which he liked a lot. He reminds me of me when I was two!

Then we decorated some cookies. We are obviously naturals.

It was also the final night of Hanukkah. After sundown, I mustered up all of my concentration to light all eight candles.

From Mom and Dad, I got a book about a dinosaur named…Dexter!

And from Grandma and Grandpa, I got a spirograph set! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the gifts all Hanukkah long!

Then when it was time to go to bed, I found Kenji cuddling with Hugs. She is so loved…

EASTER 2018

Kenji visited our house on Easter weekend and one of our favorite things to do was color eggs.

Kenji really liked the egg dye and got his hands so messy, he had to go inside to clean up. So I continued on my own.

I got my hands very colorful, too!

Kenji could barely stand watching me have all the fun by myself through the window…

…so he came back for Round Two!

Whew! That was some hard work, but we walked away with some very cool eggs.

After Kenji had a bath, he had some fun coloring with my old baby crayons and pushing around the stroller. It was fun having you here, Taylor gang!

AUNTIE LISA VISITS PORTLAND

Guess who made a surprise appearance in Portland yesterday? Auntie Lisa! (As well as Uncle Ryan and their friends, Tristin and Kelsey). We went to a restaurant in Northeast Portland called Tin Shed and then, after announcing I was “SO TIRED,” I wandered the streets while Mommy and Daddy tried to get me back in the car.

AUNTIE LISA’S WEDDING

Yesterday was Auntie Lisa’s wedding and it was so fun! I wore a tuxedo that showed off my belly, played cars with my cousin Allie, and met a really cool 6-year-old named Charlie. And my Auntie was so pretty! Does it get any better than that?
