We ventured to the Land of Magical Flowers, AKA Adelman Peony Farm in Salem for the first time last spring. I’m writing this a couple weeks after going our second time, so stay tuned for more fun pics! haha … There’s easily a million photos in this post so have fun scrolling! I’ve probably hit […]

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. […]

It was worth the 45 min one-way-full-of-traffic-drive where my kids were less than pleasant to open the car doors to breathtaking blooming fruit trees in Orchard Park in Hilsboro, OR. It was too close to dinner time, the oldest didn’t comply with my wardrobe suggestions, and the youngest fell in some mud in the middle […]

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 […]

I’ve had this shoot in the back of my mind for over a year now… ok a year and a half. Oops. Anyway, better to share late than never, right? These images give me the giggles, warm fuzzies and ??? It’s a shame neither of them have personality 😁. Noah is such an expressive baby […]

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 […]
