Babyup!

Chloe shows us her House of Fun and Terror!

Trick or treating, 2016.

Chloe has on her unicorn pegasus costume, with tutu and carrying her squishy brain…

Here’s Chloe and Grandpa Randy:

Can we parents congratulate ourselves on doing a good job?

Chloe was so polite with her trick-or-treat presentation, always saying “thank you” and “happy halloween” that she charmed the pants out of everybody!

Here’s a photo of scary dad:

Chloe’s been talking about the bikes she test-rode at the store for two weeks, so we went and got one!.
Presenting — Chloe’s first bike!

Ok, yes this Disney Frozen-branded bike by Huffy is indeed already too small for her.  However, she really wanted this one and I didn’t want to damper her enthusiasm for learning.  Also I figure she can get confident on the little bike and we can start moving her to something larger in the next few months.  She’s in a good kid biking neighborhood now with lots of opportunities to practice.

We go to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island.  It was a bit rainy out.

Perhaps Chloe found dancing in the mud the best part of the whole visit.

Bear hat, Tinker Bell costume.  Ready to carve pumpkins!

Here are our pumpkins – Bailey did the outer two, Chloe carved the ones in the middle.  First time carving a pumpkin, and she’s very happy with her results.  I know it’s hard to see, but she carved hearts next to the scary face.

Dinosaur Island returns with yet another fabulous episode by Chloe and Bailey!

And now… Chloe takes the camera and attempts her own toy-review style video:

This weekend Chloe, Bailey and I made a haunted house out of home-made gingerbread!

That’s Kai, Bailey’s mom, and a good neighbor.

If you look closely you can see some mad science.  Chloe created a two-headed skeleton and also swapped the heads on between a skeleton human and skeleton cat.

Lisa and Chloe have moved out to Forest Grove.  Here’s the first Dinosaur Island filmed in their back yard.

We won some tickets!!

Wow!  Look at the size of these tiki forks!

Today Kirk and Cheryl took us out on their boat.  We cruised up to the Willamette Falls, cooked up some burgers and cruised back.  Fun!

We saw five sea lions!

Then we made some Cheeseburgers.  Here’s Chloe eating one with a fork.

Here’s Daddio in his kewl Sea Cadets outfit!  Chloe says she had a great time on the boat.
