Ready....Deep Breath.....Lets Go.....
July- summer heat was no match Avery and Mine's temperate curing game of "spray me Momma, Spray Me Momma" Its where I stand in the backyard and Avery and Hill get to spray me with Cold Hose Water...and yes I have been Known to strip down to My Whitey Tideys....4th of JULY- celebrated the only way i know how: good friends, good BBQ, good Firworks, Good Corona; Blue Lake melts my heart every year on that summer night; poets couldnt describe the feeling that comes over me as the sun begins its lasts grasps ....find me a better holiday than the 4th and I'll show you a punch to the face....UNFORTUNATELY not all summer was full of play....my SUMMER WORK- email that i sent to friends and family proved to be very profitable: within two weeks of my email looking for extra sidejobs i had earned over $400!!! Yup the American Dream Lives on; even for hard working citizens who dont have the priveldge of being illegal immigrants...lol my jack of all trades summer work included: pressure-washing, fence-building, gutter-cleaning,house-sitting,laying-rock,laying-barkdust,more pressure-washing, and a bunch of other jobs i could hyph-enate.
BIRTHDAY POOL PARTY- Hey Kids? DO you like birthday parties?!? Well Guess what? Birthday parties are:(Avery's at least) Hard Work, Time Consuming, money busting, Over the top, over too fast, not over fast enough, AND all about YOU!!.... Heres a pic.... Next year Weare taking Avery to McDonalds, thats it.
AUGUST- Camp Kiwanis, Camp Camp Kiwanis.... Oh yeah that's right Papa Q. Bear served as a Camp Counselor for special needs youth and adults on Mt. Hood. It was a great experience, and it was my senior project at PSU.... i got to meet a bunch of great people and spent most of the 2 full weeks at Lake Trillium......and can i just say a quick thing about that place.....LAKE TRILLIUM- truly one of my favorite places in Oregon; hill, Ave, and some close friends have camped there the past 3 summers. The lake is nice and cool, the view is surreal and the days just seem a lil more crisp...I am already planning this years trip...COME the More the Better!!!

Thanks 4 Coming, This Is Why You're Here
I just Wanted to Take A Quick Moment to Play Informer; you come to this blog for two reasons: (or rather This Is My Ideal Hope Of Why You Chose to Visit) 1) to have, view, share a laugh and 2) to catch insights on my life and times as a young father.
Initially When I created This Blog months ago the blog title " Parenting in The Rose City" was just some weird, kinda cheesy line that just popped into my head.... as time passed i began to like the way it looked, sounded and the feelings it elicited from myself. In Retrospect I'm Glad I chose that title. For this reason; everyday i laugh or smile because of Ave, everyday the roles, challenges, experiences of being a parent leave me delightfully shaking my head, everyday a little person needs me to provide advice, knowledge, protection, silly-ness, and much more. And everyday i think to myself i wish i could remember every funny thing she said,every quirky question she asked, every imaginative conclusion she reached, every song she sang, every stride she made, every connection that clicked, and every time that she makes us sit back, smile and laugh.
There it is, in a nutshell; thats my goal for this blog; to share with you my life as a parent. It is not for "networking", meeting old friends, facebooking Hotties, or posting my Keg-stand Videos. So Please come check it out sporadically for a laugh or a sneak peek. ( I'm trying to post more)

Oops.....Clearly this blog also follows some of my favorite sports passions. Such as Timbers, Ducks, and so On. Anything that has to do with Local sporting Entertainment may find its way to this here site. Enjoy!!!

Its OFFICIAL....I've Jumped The Shark
Course: Family Mediation ( weekend Session) "get in, get out"
Profess: Nice Lady, soft voice, Chances are you could strike her in the Trachea with a wiffle-ball-bat- and she'd likely say " mmm k let's talk about what you just did To me mmm k.?"
"Blind wheel-Chair Guy"- The dude is blind and hunched over in flipping sweet electric wheel chair; two best things about this guy 1) he has the most concise, meaningful comments about the class, 2) his guide dog looks amazingly identical to the Doberman that Snoop Dog Morphs into his early 90's rap videos..... I'm just waiting for that guide dog to pass out from doing it Doggystyle all nite.... You know that dog got plenty of B****** after that video aired!! "Rich Middle Eastern Hottie"- Swear to god, In the three days this olive tanned, dark haired, Dolce & Gabbana wearing Metrosexual has probably dropped $50 on Starbucks coffee, pastries, and the eco friendly "ethos" water... guaranteed he probably smokes a pack of Turkish jades a day.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Class was 3 days, all day on SAT & SUN; got to go to farmers market yesterday, that's always neat. Hardest part was waking up Early to be here; laid back class: LASTLY;Got me out of the house, met a cool teacher, and likely will get an A for 2 Credits...Sweet as Candy!!!
