Summer Haze

The summer sure has been busy! Between weddings, spending time with friends, traveling to Colorado, and spending time with family, time has definitely gotten the best of me the past few months! It's been worth it, though, spending the moments with family and Madelynne. We couldn't ask for a better summer.

Before we ventured to Colorado, we enjoyed a wedding of our dear friend's, Austin and Tim. It was beautiful, outdoors, and lots of fun. Madelynne danced the night away, that is for sure!

A few days after the wedding we flew to Colorado, which was exciting for Madelynne. She did not nap that day, she was over the moon excited. She was up the entire flight. It was much different than any other time we have flown. We spent a few days in Denver with Damion, Lindsey, and Joe.

We, of course, made many trips to the park. We also enjoyed breakfast with my college friends, Lory and Erika. Denver was a fun trip, needless to say!

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...

To Infinite...AKA Oregon...and Beyond!

 If you ever go on a vacation with us, just note...it is always an adventure. Seriously, have not had a ton of time to get myself back into fast-forward mode, as I call it, let alone, really delve in and cull through all the images & video I took. However, here is a recap of our break with our wonderful friends/second a family, The Phillips. We left for McMinnville, Oregon, on Saturday April 1. Of course, Google decided to detour us to whatever little town in North Portland to bypass an accident on I-5, which only caused aggravation. We tried finding food  off an exit that was non-existent. Let's just say, this was super annoying. But we managed, arrived, and celebrated with lunch and then the Water Park: Our first stop.  Because they have an air museum, why not have an air themed waterpark! We had a cabana with prime viewing of the San Diego State win during the Final Four NCAA Championship Jax had a blast The second day we enjoyed the Evergreen Aviation Museum. I ha...
