Now that I'm three, the bigs said I'm ready for knives.


Uncle Chris and Auntie Shake know my number. Here I am making beer.

Birthday tacos at El Sancho:


Last week, we went camping in Idaho. It was a 6.5 hour drive, and the bigs can only handle 3 hours of 'whys' at a time, so we stopped halfway and stayed by the Malheur River.



When we got to our final destination, the state park we hoped to camp in was full. The bigs were not optimistic about 'Last Chance' campground, but it turned out to be terrific.


I did some extreme rock jumping.



Dad did the Wild Ride XTERRA. I did the Make Believe Duathlon (organized by Mom).

We both did quite well.


Payette Lake in McCall:




The next series of photos I took:

I was a little confused where to stand after pushing the timer:


Self portrait with the love of my life, baby dill pickles:

There was a hot spring at Last Chance. We ended our trip with a quick soak before hitting the road again.

Our midway camping site was in the Ochoco Forest.



Karla wanted to know if the Bigs only posted good pictures. Nope.


This weekend we hiked the Alder Springs trail. I walked 1.1 miles all by myself. It took 1 hour.



I give up. Too much walking and now you want me to cross a river?!



I am not only a fabulous chef, I also bake. Look at these animal cookies I made with the cookie cutters Great Auntie Cheryl sent me.

The Bigs went paddle boarding a lot this past week. They only took me once. I was not invited on this trip to Sparks Lake.

I couldn't get too mad. They are pretty nice. Dad made three birthday cakes this week. He wanted to make sure he got it just right for my party. Here is Take 1 (chocolate layer cake with chocolate buttercream filling):

Here is #3. No, I'm not turning 23 or 32, but I was two and I will be three...


Hey! You guys forgot to sing 'Happy Birthday'!

Hanging in the backyard after dinner:

Mom finally mulched our new garden. It looks good!

I enjoy scissoring. In fact, it is my favorite new activity. The bigs enjoy picking up confetti. So it's really win win.


I told you four pounds of cherries was not too much.


When I am not scissoring, I do slaloming.

Why are you down there?

Playgrounds are hard work. I need to eat a peach and a nectarine to refuel.


The Bigs went to Jackson's Corner on Friday (thanks, Nana). Meatballs:

Salad special with honey za'atar dressing:

Fusilli with wild Oregon mushrooms and pancetta:
