One of Ella's favorite things right now is riding her big girl bike. Most of the time she has ridden it around our house, but since she is getting so big, riding in the house is not the wisest thing. Especially, with little Addy trying to walk. One quick turn and Addy would be wiped out.She is getting so brave that she decided to try to go without her training wheels. She gave it a good try and made it about half of a block (with a lot of help from Daddy). She did great, but she thought it would be best to put them back on. We went for a spin around the block with the wheels back on for good measure.
That was Saturday. Sunday was the annual NE Portland St. Patrick's Day Parade. The Parade's origination is a really funny story. The short version is that a boyfriend was trying to impress his future father-in-law. The father-in-law was mostly Irish, so the young man organized a St. Patrick's Day Parade to wow him. More than twenty-five years later Mr. Slavik (the boyfriend, we call him O'Slovik for the event) is still organizing the annual event. 
Friends at the parade..
Lindsay tackles a sucker...
It was also good to hang out with good friends.
Finally, Jason had to take everything out of the inside of Lucy (our 1972 Chevelle). She had a run in with a tree a few months back and we are working on getting her fixed. For all of the "unique" things in Portland, you don't find many yards with car parts strung all over them....we are sure the neighbors were impressed.
Addy did the supervising...
We did find some time to hang out in the front yard. A busy, but fun weekend!
(This was cute until Addy decide the dirt in the pot was lunch..)
Love ya all!
