My Dad, step mom, her mom, and the twins – Sam and Lisa, came to visit us from Texas for about 10 days last July. Yes… LAST July. I’m playing catch up on personal blogging after many months. My dad joined us about 5 days into the visit, and I had LOTS of “Oregon Summer” activities […]

We’re ringing in the New Year with a big blessing. The Lord has blessed us with ANOTHER miracle baby.  I just entered my second trimester, which puts baby due around July 7th, 2017 (but Brian’s reeeeallly hoping for a July 4th baby). It’s kind of a cool redemption story. Rewind 6 years back to our […]

Waaaay back in July when my Dad and family were visiting from Texas, we took a day trip out to Cannon Beach. On the WINDIEST day. It was quite chilly and windy, but the sun was out so, it was pretty.  Sitting here on this chilly, rainy, November day makes me crave a good sunny […]

Life is has been really fast and full since the beginning of (time) the summer and I honestly haven’t given myself much time to work on personal stuff since then. I shoot (thousands) of images and load them to my computer and let them sit until I get a chance to work on them. I […]

We’ve taken Rara (my mom- short for Roxanne) all over the Portland area each time she visits. During her visit in July she requested to see a waterfall. I knew just the place! We took her to the Crownpoint look out in the Columbia River Gorge before heading to Horsetail Falls (further down the gorge). […]

We visited Sauvie Island Lavender Farm when my mom was visiting us in Portland in July. I was expecting a huge farm with rolling hills, but it’s less than 2 acres, which was just the right size. It wasn’t very crowded either, which was nice. There are a couple picnic tables with umbrellas and a huge shade […]

Back in July we took my mom, Rara to the Oregon Zoo for  day of adventure. She treated us to a family membership so we can continue to go throughout the year and bring friends.  She also treated us to Brady’s first carousel ride, a big tiger cup, a new t-shirt that says “Baby bear” […]
