party and waterfalls

Orson went to Thurston's 6th Birthday party on Sunday.
He took a little nap on the way there...


I was a little worried the nap wasn't long enough...


Orson adjusted to the crazy fun quickly.
The party was at a place filled with
bouncy houses and huge slides...
 

Happy Birthday to Thurston!

I'm not quite sure how it happened

but after the party we ended up in the gorge by the waterfalls...

 

 

It was a fun day!

berry island!

Today Orson & I went to "Berry Island" (aka Sauvie Island)
with Leah, Naomi & Micah.
We enjoyed beautiful weather, great company,
 and ate so many yummy berries that our bellies ache...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

orson outfits

One way Orson expresses himself is through his clothing.

Here are a few of my favorite outfit choices...

at the movies!

Orson went to the movies for the 1st time!

We watched "Winnie the Pooh" and Orson loved the whole experience

from the popcorn to the "big tv"...

thank you!

Orson & I just wanted to say "thank you" to our famlies for the the great trip!

We loved seeing you and appreciated all the spoiling!

last stop... chicago!

Orson & I spent our last few days in Chicago
 at Grandma Sarah & Grandpa David's house.
Orson loved the tall buildings, Lincoln Park Zoo,
and getting to have fun in the city with family.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the farm...

Orson & I ventured over to
Grandma Judy & Grandpa Bruce's farm in Indiana.
We had fun playing with Grandpa's trucks,
going to the County Fair, and fishing!
