In Case You Haven't Heard



Liam's little brother or sister will arrive some time mid January 2010!!!

***** Happy Birthday USA 2009 *****

We had an incredible, amazing weekend as a family :)

Saturday we ventured into Lake Oswego for their Farmer's Market and their Fourth of July Parade. Good luck finding shade along the parade route, but some how we managed too! All in thanks to Annie saying 'let me lead' and Sean reluctantly following. I get that from my Dad, thanks Papa Joe, wink-wink.

This was your typical, small town, everyone get involved kind of parade so there was an old fire engine,


and cool old cars.


Liam providing a rebel yell when he saw something he liked, like a tractor for instance


At one point we actually jumped in and JOINED the parade. "Look at us! We're in a parade!!"

and then a little snack in the back of the car to stay 'cool' before we headed home.



Sunday was still hot so water was our only relief. The great thing about Portland are all the family friendly spots you can find, Jamison Park is favorite in the summer. The fountain there is perfect for the little ones, there are trees in the park to make for good shade, and the park is in one of the best districts in Downtown Portland, the Pearl. Needless to say Liam had a BLAST!

Go Speedracer!!!!

The latest and greatest obsession for Liam is playing in the driver seat of Mama's car. That means load the CD, eject the CD, load a different CD, laugh really loud when it comes blaring through the speakers. Next target? Windshield wipers, on..shocked look!..off. Hazzards on the entire time. It is actually kinda funny how much pleasure he gets from his 10-15 minutes in the driver seat.







Watch out Boots (Grandpa Taylor), Liam is almost ready for your car!!
