For his birthday this year, Logan really wanted to go to California. So we did! Unfortunately, Noah had to work the week, so he stayed home. Yet, I survived taking a 6/7 year old through the airports solo. Both of our families still live in CA, and the grandparents are only about 30-min apart. We […]

A Summary of August
Visiting Canada wasn’t the only thing we did during the month of August. Here’s a round-up. Logan finished up his second season of t-ball. He’s a natural at switch-hitting, which I fully encourage. This had to be the hottest summer for t-ball. I spent several practices sitting under the shade of an umbrella in an […]
We Love Canada!
Seriously, what’s not to like? We enjoyed it so much last year that we returned this summer! We gave Logan the choice of which province between Saskatchewan or Manitoba. He chose Manitoba, so off to Winnipeg we went! We actually stayed at a small Provincial Park about 45 minutes away from Winnipeg, which provided enough […]
On the 4th we will go…
If you guessed camping, you would be correct! If you haven’t figured it out yet, our family loves to camp (or go campering). Even my colleagues have figured this out. Anytime there is a long weekend, I will be asked by several coworkers if I am going camping and where. Some have even sought out […]
Steamboat Lake
If I could (afford to) live anywhere in the world, I’m pretty sure it would be Routt County, Colorado. Man that is God’s country, right there. I’m pretty sure Steamboat Lake is my happy place. It’s far removed from the hustle bustle of Steamboat Springs, and nestled in a picturesque river valley. We first discovered […]
Camping Season Has Returned!
My favorite time of year, camping season! For Colorado that starts Memorial Day weekend (unless you’re really hardcore and like to camp in snow caves — no thanks). But even that close to summer, we always expect snow when we camp that weekend. This year, we camped along Turquoise Lake, near Leadville, around 10,000-ft elevation. […]
Graduation Day!
I don’t remember a big fan fare when I graduated from kindergarten, but perhaps there was one. Friday, Logan graduated from kindergarten (although the school year doesn’t end until later this week). Where has the past school year gone? It feels like I just registered him for kindergarten and now he’s only a few short […]
The Keystone State
Sadly, last month my Aunt Ruthanna passed away after a courageous battle against cancer. Although we are heartbroken that she is no longer with us on earth, we rejoice in the fact that she is no longer in pain and has rejoined her beloved husband in heaven. To honor her in life and death, we […]
Another year older…already?!
Wow! We have a six year old! At times it’s hard to believe that this 4-foot tall child once weighed a mere five pounds and fit inside me! The more and more Logan grows, the more and more he doesn’t look a spec like me. Haha! In fact, he looks very similar to a picture […]
The family that shoots together…
It’s no secret that Noah and I enjoy shooting firearms. So, it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that we enjoy shooting bows either. Logan is still a bit young for his own gun (don’t freak, we’ll start him with something small…like a .45 j/k), but he’s not too young to start learning to shoot […]
