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 […]

It’s true that us Texans in Oregon find each other. True story that Brittani and I would find ourselves basically living parallel lives – going to so many of the same places the first year we lived in Portland. “Oh hi! I didn’t know you went to church here?”… fast forward an hour, “Oh, hi! […]

The weather was a little questionable at first as I arrived at the Seabold’s family beach house. A special place they’ve come to for the last 30 years to enjoy life, celebrate milestones, get away for some R & R, etc… Now the (big) kids are bringing their kids! When they asked me to do […]

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?!) […]

The past few years we’ve cut down our Christmas tree at Sunny Day Tree Farm in Sherwood. We keep going back… not only for the beautiful property, wood burning fire in their big barn, or Christmas shop where we purchase a new little ornament for Brady’s “tiny” tree in his bedroom, but the incredible family-like […]

It was a gorgeous (windy), sunny day at Suttle Lake last Summer on our family tent camping adventure in Central Oregon.  You can view more about our family tent camping adventures here and here.   We went out for a family hike/walk along the trail that hugs Suttle Lake and I couldn’t resist drone-ing.  We couldn’t […]

We were so grateful to have Granny P and Grandpa Clif (Brian’s dad) visit us from Dallas about 2 months after Noah was born (late Summer/August 2017). Yes, that long ago – hah. I’m playing catch up on life blogging.  We did a few Portland-y things while they were here, like visit the downtown waterfront […]
