Camping with two little very active, curious, high energy boys is… quite the adventure! This was our third time tent family camping. We made a few changes, which totally upgraded our experience (borrowed a giant walk-able tent from a friend for Noah and me… it had TWO rooms!) and we camped at our new favorite […]

It was a warm April afternoon in 2019. The traffic was unusually insane, Google Maps re-routed us and added 20 min to the drive and the youngest pooped when we were sitting in traffic, so we had to pull over to change his diaper in a random parking lot in the back of my SUV. […]

One good thing about being in a quarantine is we have more time at home. We definitely enjoy being home, but also love adventuring with a splash of spontaneity. I sure miss exploring Portland in the Spring, but being home more has allowed me more freedom and space to grab my camera and document our […]

These are images from our sledding adventures on Mt. Hood last winter (2019). Noah was so little and maybe his snow suit was a taddddd small. Oops. The weather was incredible – almost warm enough that the snow was melting into slushie snow. We sledded to our hearts content. Noah LOVED it haha. They boys […]

For Brady’s 6th birthday we celebrated by having Steve’s Creature Feature come to our house with his reptile creatures. The kids were able to learn so much while touching, holding, and passing around various large and small reptiles (of course with his close eye and assistance). Some reptiles were only allowed to be viewed from […]

So maybe I’m writing this a year later, but alas, it’s documented! We started a new annual back to school tradition of going on an apple picking date together at the local “short orchard” about 15 min from us. (You can view the 2nd Annual Apple Picking Date here.) They grow our favorite Honey Crisp […]

It was our second annual “Back to school apple picking adventure date” prior to school actually starting (Labor Day weekend). We have a favorite cute little “short orchard” (Bells Orchard) about 15 min from us that we pick our very favorite Honey Crisp apples (b/c if it’s not honey crisp, is it even an apple?!) […]

Yep.. my second son is now days away from turning TWO and I’m just now writing his birth story.  No judging, please.  When we were originally told his estimated due date, (7/7/17) my husband was really holding out for a 4th of July baby. I just laughed, because our first son was born 2 weeks […]
