Doing our part to keep Portland weird

Day out with daddy! MAX train to Saturday Market, lunch at the food carts, Slilver guy, Portland Pride LGBTQ Weekend, oh my! Kids had fun, Dane had fun, and mom got a much needed break! 

**Too all the germaphobes - Dane did not take hand sanatizer, and informed me Emma was making blow fishes on the MAX train windows.. EEEUUUU!!!

Emma monster hugging me again! Save me Christian!!

Why does she insists on hugging me EVERYDAY!? 

But I can't say no, I just take it. Could you say no to this face?

Now this kid is more my cup of tea. We get a long so well. 

Schooools out for summer!

The first year of middle school is over for Christian, and he's on cloud 9! He was ready for middle school this year and believed he would like it better than grade school.

It was the first year -

I was not invited to go on field trips.

He did not share all the happenings of his social life.

I was not asked to volunteer.

He didn't ask or need help on a science experiment.

I couldn't keep up with or understand his math assignments.

Heck, I didn't even get to bring cupcakes on his birthday!!!

However, he did get straight A's the entire year long, so I guess I'll just sit back and watch my boy fly!

Remind me who I am

When I lose my way,

And I forget my name

Remind me who I am

In the mirror all I see

Is who I don't wanna be

Remind me who I am

In the loneliest places

When I cant remember what grace is

Tell me, once again

Who I am to You, who I am to You

Tell me, lest I forget

Who I am to You, that I belong to You

To You

When my heart is like a stone,

And I'm running far from home

Remind me who I am

When I cant receive Your love

Afraid I'll never be enough

Remind me who I am

If I'm Your beloved can You help me believe it

Tell me, once again

Who I am to you, who I am to You

Tell me, lest I forget

Who I am to you, that I belong to You

To You

I'm the one You love, I'm the one You love

That will be enough, I'm the one You love

Tell me, once again

Who I am to you, who I am to You

Tell me, lest I forget

Who I am to you, that I belong to You

Tell me, once again

Who I am to You, who I am to You

Tell me, lest I forget

Who I am to You, that I belong to You

To You

To You

Make a wish

 Take a penny and turn around, close your eyes then make your wish. Throw that penny over your shoulder, and look for the day your wish comes true. - Brandalyn

No he would not tell me his wish - "It won't come true!"

Teaching little Emma how to make her wishes. 

 "I hope it comes true, I hope it comes true!"

I think Emma wanted to go swimming with the fishies :) We had to keep an eye on her!

I too wanted to make a wish. So I asked Sam what he thought I should ask for. "Wish to be Wonder Woman!"
