I know...it's been a while

So Bubbs is in preschool now. She insists we call her Rayne in front of her friends.
Ryane loves her preschool. She is learning to write her letters.
She has gotten to go to the pumpkin patch, and this week started swim lessons!

The Bubbs and the Motorcycle

Jason is looking to get back into dirt bikes, so we went to a motorcycle shop this weekend. Well, Rayne has decided she, too, wants a motorcycle, and the pretty red one was just the right fit. She even picked out a helmet, and was serious about wanting to take it home NOW.

The only problem now is that Rayne HATES loud noises...and I don't think she gets how loud these things really are.

Pumpkin Hunt!

Rayne's class at school got to have a fun Pumpkin Hunt last week. We walked along a woody trail, and each of the kids got to find a Pumpkin. Then we went to the track and had an apple for a snack, then we played on the track until it was time to head back to class. What a fun morning!

CORN!

Last week at Rayne's school, the kiddos got to shuck and eat freshly harvested corn from one of their teacher's farms.

DOGS RULE

The Pedigree Adoption Drive
"Because every dog deserves a healthy and happy life."

Each year, more than 4 million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescue organizations. Pedigree created The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive to help shine a spotlight on the plight of these homeless dogs.

• This year the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive is raising awareness for homeless dogs by donating a bowl of food to shelter dogs for everyone who becomes a “Fan” or “Likes” The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive on Facebook. So far more than 1 million bowls have been donated.

• Special for BlogPaws West: For each blog that posts about the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive through September 19^th, PEDIGREE® will donate a bag of their new Healthy Longevity Food for Dogs to shelters nationwide. It’s simple: Write a post, help a dog.

In Honor of the Pedigree Adoption Drive, I give you my 3 adopted babies:

Molly the Moose - rehomed to us through Albany Rescue, Albany , OR July 2007




LexLuther - adopted from Heavenly Treasures, Longview, WA Oct 2009




Max-a-Million - adopted from Columbia Humane Society, St Helens, OR Aug 2010

Say Cheez!

Fun at school

Last week at school, the kids got to play with some fun pop-up tents and tunnels.

And of course, always the clown, Rayne found some fun new uses for connector toys.
