My first trip to the pumpkin patch

Yesterday mom and dad took me to the pumpkin patch for the first time.  It was SO FUN!  I got really dirty and played with the pumpkins and grass and dirt and loved it.  We went to Lakeview Farms in North Plains and took a train ride and a boat ride - both my first.  The train was fun but the boat was a little scary.  Here are some photos:

National Brain Tumor Society Angel Adventure Walk 2008

Saturday was the 3rd Annual National Brain Tumor Society's Angel Adventure Walk in Portland.  I participated with some dear friends and received many generous donations from others close to my family.  I set a $1,000 goal for myself and was surprised to beat it!

Thank you to my friends who made up our team!  I am touched that each of you was able and willing to help support my cause.

And of course, thank you so much to those of you who donated!  You were all very generous and I couldn't have made my goal without each of you.

My real birthday - October 1st

On my actual birthday, I had a long but fun day!  Mom and dad took me to the zoo and we had a picnic lunch.  I also met Sam, the new baby elephant at the zoo.  The monkeys and sea lions were cool too!  Later that day, we went to the Spaghetti Factory with Grandma.  I had my own plate of spaghetti and ICE CREAM!!  Yay for dairy products!!!  Here are some photos from the big day:
