The MAX, Food Carts, Voodoo Doughnuts...Oh my!

After our photo session we hopped on the MAX to go down town to have lunch at the food carts. 

Miss Sadie was excited she was just upset she had to wait for another train.

She loved the MAX and watching everything fly by.

Toward the end of the ride someone got a little tired it was of course nap time but we had too much to do and see to stop for a nap.

This is a little out of order but I had to include it.  This is on the ride back to Gresham. Sadie was exhausted and there were no places to sit. (we caught rush hour) So Cousin Jeff made a seat for her to sit on.

My Foodie!

We have been researching Portland's food carts ever since we found out we were coming up for the wedding.  Mr. Foodie was very excited to try "The Frying Scotsman"'s fish and chips.  And he wasn't disappointed!

We decided to walk over to Powell's Bookstore and we ran into someone who obviously loves Star Wars.  I do too but I'm not sure I'd go this far....ok maybe.

Andrew and Alyssa were able to meet up with us after she got her hair chopped off for boot camp (she reports tomorrow).  Miss Sadie was happy they got to come even if it only was a short visit.

On our way back to the MAX we detoured over to Voodoo Doughnuts!  Oh and I'm so glad we did.

Our score!

And yes I'm completely excited!  Love me some maple bars!

Miss Sadie and her fruit loop doughnut!

I had to post this picture...it was too funny not too. 

Yes this is the famous cock and balls doughnut from Voodoo.  Let's just say this was taken after a very long day!  I was a little punch drunk!  haha.  Now you know my real sense of humor!

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun!

My baby turned 9 months today. This time with her sure seems to be going by so fast. Sometimes I'd really like for time to freeze and then there are times that I want to see the next phase. She really is a good girl. She is friendly to everyone and is really easy going.

She is very curious and loves to learn. Right now she is learning how to pick food up and eat it. It has been really funny watching her. She has gotten a lot better. She has been standing for sometime on her own but now she is trying to learn how to take that first step. She gets so frustrated with her left leg when it won't do what she wants.

She is so beautiful. I am amazed every day of how sweet she is and how beautiful she truly is. I may be a little (ok a lot) biased but she truly is beautiful. What makes her even more so is her sweet temperament. (when she isn't teething. YIKES!) Right now she has three teeth and is cutting #4 and #5. It's been a rough week for her but really she is doing so good considering one of the teeth she is cutting looks like it's an eye tooth and everyone says those are the hardest and most painful to cut.
She loves to play and is really good at finding Any spec of food or trash or dirt on the floor. She thinks she is a big girl now and loves her sippy cup. We need to get her more because now on carpool days she gets one on the way home. Especially since last week when Rylie had hers in the car now she wants one too.

Yes that's my camera strap in her mouth. I have to tell you EVERYTHING goes into this child's mouth. And for some reason she is completely fascinated by my camera. But aren't her eyes gorgeous?

Steve bought some juice bars the other day at the store and Sadie really loves them. Please ignore her dirty face as this was right after dinner and before her bath.
