Damionisms


Oh, kids say the darnedest things, don’t they? Some of my favorites when D was here last week were the following:

"I don't mean to break up the party, but..."- when we told him to go to bed while we played rock band during our monthly game night, a continuance from bowling. 

"I just cannot believe God created all of this!"-Whenever he saw something beautiful, like the mountains or the ocean. He also noted that “God did good”. Yeah, he sure did.
Ruby Beach


"I'm from the United States"-He retorted when someone asked him where he was from. What a little patriot.

"I'm ready for a shower-sh-sh-shower"-He makes up a song about everything. It doesn’t matter what it has to do with, he comes up with something.
In Maddy's tunnel

Bowling


“I thirst!”-When we told him to go to bed, and he was trying to get an extra drink. It was after a very long day, so we just wanted to go to bed and he was stalling.

“We can just buy a new wallet”, he calmly told his mom, after her wallet went missing right before she had to board her flight. Wish it were that simple.

Posing 

Such a ham

Super exhausted


“Actually…” yeah, every sentence started with this word, if you disagreed with him or you questioned his story. He was funny.

Cape Alava Camping Adventure!

We are definitely trying to make the most of our time in Washington and since the weather has been gradually warming up, with beautiful blue skies and sunshine, we cannot resist getting outside. And, because hiking is free and camping is pretty inexpensive, we have been doing A LOT of it lately. Granted, our excursion to Oregon was not cheap, it was still a pretty inexpensive weekend getaway and worth the drive! In her new hiking pack Cape Alava at high tide Crossing a bridge We discovered one place, though, called Cape Alava, via one of our trail/hiking books. We went out last weekend, and it is a good 3 mile hike to the coast, from Lake Ozette, and then another 3 mile hike back to the parking area, (so 6 round trip). The loop itself, to Sand Point, is 9 miles total. We got there when tide was fairly high, so we didn't travel down the coast too far, as you can make a complete loop (3 miles down the beach and then another 3 miles on a second trail, that splits at th...

Updates and Such

It's been sometime since I last updated the blog, but figured I better get on it. The school year is in full swing and we've been busy, as usual doing all the things we do between parenting, enjoying our weekends, and routine. No major projects are holding us back this year, so we've been trying to soak up every ounce of the ending seasons as we can. Fall was slow to start here, but her beauty and glory haven't left and I am sure will stick around well into November. That is the fortunate part of the PACNW. Here are the highlights up to this point: August Jax started Preschool and Maddy is in the 3rd grade. So far, they are doing well. Jax loves going to school and is always eager when he gets to "ride the bus to Maddy's school." Here are their annual school pics: Jumping into 3rd Grade September We enjoyed a few adventures, from hiking, whale watching, and camping. We camped at our favorite spot along the Strait...

Bearing With Me

We aren’t getting an opportunity to travel this summer, but we’re making the best of our staycation in beautiful Washington. Honestly, there is so much to explore in our state and even on our Peninsula, I don’t think we will ever be bored of finding something magical and interesting to see or do. Our family motto is, “it’s always an adventure” and sometimes, even the smallest adventure turns into a story of a lifetime. My daughter has been fascinated with the stars and space since she was five and wanted a telescope for her birthday one year. I suggested to her that we drive up Hurricane Ridge early morning to let me practice some astrophotography, as well as catch the sunrise. She was excited about seeing Neowise, the comet that is gracing us with its presence in the month of July. The last comet I recall seeing was Hale Bop, back in 1997. I remember driving across the open plains of Wyoming with my parents, who were actually en route to a couple of job interviews and leaving u...
