Wilson Update

We went to go visit Wilson this morning and he is doing good. He had a food allergy to the food we gave him so we brought him some new food we hope will help. He is picking the training up very well. He is very timid around new things (bikes, scooters, hats), but adapts well once he is given time to get used to them. He was very unsocialized when we got him, so we will have a lot of work to do when he comes home. The trainer thinks she might need to keep him a extra week depending how he does this next week. KaeLynn was so happy to see him! We are all eager for him to come home!

A trip to the coast

Last weekend we went to the coast to go see my dad. He hasn't seen Kaelynn since Christmas and we were due for a visit. While we were there we met up with some of Cavan's family and played at Cannon and Seaside Beach.
We forgot KaeLynn's high chair and the only way she would eat her breakfast was sitting on the floor. It was pretty cute.
Then my sister Abby kept KaeLynn busy and played this old game with her. This was the first time I have ever seen her sit cross legged.
When we first got to the beach she wasn't sure if she liked the sand, but warmed up to it pretty quick.
Cavan bought himself a kite but the first time he got it up in the air it crashed and broke. He fixed it when we got home but he was pretty disappointed at the time.
Once KaeLynn realized that there was water off in the distance she took off and there was no looking back.
She didn't even react to the cold water! She just kept saying Bath Bath!!

Then we went and found the carousel. KaeLynn was so excited to see the "horsey's" until we got on. Then she got really scared. After a few minutes she did better and then we started going around she was really enjoying herself!
After our long day we went out to eat and had some good food. It was a good day!

Bend

This weekend we went to visit our friends the Hicks in Bend. Cavan went up to Mt. Bachelor with Dave and from what they tell me it was awesome. Of course I was really disappointed that I didn't get to go because of my neck injury, but Cavan got some pictures for all of us to see how gorgeous it was. We also climbed Smith Rock. This was the best hike I have ever done! Very Hard but very beautiful!!

KaeLynn was such an angel for the hike. She just sat back and took all the sights in.
Up towards the top we left KaeLynn with Dave to do some serious rock climbing up these boulders to get the full view. It was so pretty!!! You could see everything, including Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood




Cavan and Dave with their Rockstar energy drinks. This is the american way to hike! LOL These boys needed their energy somehow from all that snowboarding they did.
This is the picture of Smith Rock and we climb to the top of it!!!

Just for fun

This weekend was a fun one. We went to the East Portland community center and went swimming with friends. KaeLynn loved it! There was a cute little kitty slide and then a big slide that Cavan and KaeLynn went down. She did so good!



The next day we went to the Audubon Trails in Portland to go hiking. It was a beautiful day and KaeLynn was such a good girl in her little pack we borrowed from our friends. This was her facial expression the whole time. She was just taking it all in.
