Photo Friday…Fkr or Frk…what?

Some of you may know the outcome of the minimum wage issue in Oregon (bill to increase the wage passed the House), some of you may care and some of you may not.  But for me, as a business owner and Oregonian, this is so annoying frustrating infuriating…unbelievable.  I could go on and on about how unions pushed this bill, how Democrats voted yea even though they admitted it was a bad bill for Oregon, or how protesters stormed the House floor even when they were getting what they wanted (because it still wasn’t enough).   But I don’t have the energy for a post about that today, I’m too tired with real life, real work, and dealing with real issues that fall on deaf ears at Legislature.  So instead I’m going to share this ridiculous photo, that I just noticed after looking at it on my desk for almost two years.

Photo Friday, Shop Safety Film Shoot

I was originally going to plan a “I am alive” post considering it’s been so long since I’ve blogged. I can assure you it’s not due to lack of content ideas, although my ideas have included topics closer to the realm of “How many dirty diapers can a person handle?!” than “Farming in the fields.”

  But regardless of that wanted to share a few photos from a fun project our farm got to be a part of this past week. 

SAIF and Oregon Aglink came together to working a farm shop safety video that will be given to farms all over Oregon to help in training employees.    

 I’m really excited to see the finished project considering the shoot included things like an ambulance scene, tea party and a poker game.  

    

 All in all it was a fun day with a great group of people! Both SAIF and Oregon AgLink have always been committed to keeping workers safe on our farms here in Oregon. A big thank you goes to them for their time and commitment. 

And now it’s back to diapers…until next week (hopefully)!

The Adventures of Hoot! LA & Disneyland

I’ve loved to travel my whole life.  I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that my parents always took us with them on adventures.  Whether it was loading up the camper to head to South Dakota, or jumping on a long flight to Australia to visit friends; I was so lucky to have the excitement of new places play a big role in my life growing up.  And while the travel bug has continued strongly into my adult self, including a trip around the world on a ship and living in Germany for a time, the opportunities to just “take off” have slowed a bit with the addition of our newest adventure, Hoot.

So I was excited to say the least when my parents told us, “We’re going to Disneyland!!”  It would be his first experience flying, new state, new people, great weather, beautiful beaches, characters galore…this was going to be awesome!  And it truly was such a great trip.  My whole family got to go and it was such a fun time hanging out with everyone.

We took a few days to check out some of my old stomping grounds…

Our adventures included all the best stuff….birthday dinner for my dad, live music to dance to, meeting all the princesses (a highlight for my nieces!), six late night rides on Splash Mountain, happy hours, tons of laughs, cousin time, and overall good times with great family.

They say you can’t choose your family, but I’m fairly certain I would have chosen these goofballs anyway!  Either way I think we are starting this little guys life off with some great adventures, ones he may not remember, but I know are only the beginning.

So I have to give a lot of credit to my parents, who always packed us up to head down the road to see new places and meet new folks.  It’s not easy traveling with kiddos, but wow, what great memories you come home with!  Thanks mom & dad…what great things I know our family has in store!  Hoot can’t wait for the next adventure with Mimi & Papa!  Happy Friday everyone!
