Boo!

We've been teaching Aliya animal sounds for a while now, she's had barking down pat for several months now but she recently inherited several books with pictures of lots of different animals.  So, one day I was trying to teach her about the cow, it says "moo". No, not anymore, Aliya has decided the cow says "boo".  So, we went to the grocery store the other night and they have a little eating area where we were sitting where the walls have pictures of barnyard animals painted on them.  Aliya turned around, saw the huge cow on the wall and extatically shouted "Boo, boo boo!!!" for several minutes, it was hilarious! 

Fun times

Do you ever look at the pictures on your camera and think WOW I thought I took way more pictures than that!!! Well, here are a few random fun pictures that I thought I had more of.

Aliya and mommy at the rose gardens in Portland

We went to a pumpkin farm with Shanetta's family which was a total blast, I highly reccomend this place to anyone with access.  This was taken on the hay ride! Ya we actually went on a hay ride! (yes I'm from Idaho and yes this was a first for me.)

Day at the Beach!

A couple weeks ago Aliya and I went to the beach with my sister Elisabeth aka Auntie Bella.  First we went to a farm and picked blueberries,(I think Aliya ate a pint all by herself), can't say I blame her, they were yummy!  Then we went to a place called Sauvie Island which is a beach on the river, not the coast.  The water was actually not too cold. We had a FABULOUS time.  Aliya apparently LOVES sand, even more than water, and that is saying something!  She crawled all over in it, threw it, and even tried to eat it a couple times.  It was a great day, much enjoyed by all.

The whole crew, Aliya, Hailey, and Elisabeth
