The Dalles
Sometimes I wonder about the trips we take. I find out about random things and add them to the list. Like that one time we went to the middle of freaking nowhere to dig for fossils. And then last weekend,

Dash Point
Cold. That’s what Dash Point was all about. How sad is this—I totally forgot we went on this trip until seeing the pictures. It wasn’t even three months ago. I suppose I blocked it out because, cold. This past winter

The BER Months 2022
Brian went down to Cal Poly first. Way back in the fall of 1996. I went three years later, in the fall of 1999. I really wanted to go to UC Santa Barbara but as a transfer—to any UC—I needed

Las Vegas
Nosing around online one lazy day, I found flights to Las Vegas for $65. In that moment, I was like, I should take Blaise and Laine on a mom trip. I mentioned the idea to Brian who was sitting on

Yoga Retreat 2022
Added the year in the title because I think this will be an annual thing. We’re already registered for 2023. There was chatter that the 2024 retreat will be held in Greece. Not sure I’d go to that one but

Grayland Beach State Park
This is overdue. It’s the new year and this was back in mid-October. It’s fun looking back at the pictures because I’d rather be at the beach right now than back to real life after the long holiday break. I

Seven!
Baby is seven! And not really a Baby anymore but still Baby. Which is kind of hard to explain to people who only know us as a family with five kiddos, because Baby is not the Baby. But she once
Eight!
Over three months later, Saige’s eighth birthday post. Let’s cut to the chase, and get right to the details. The Pie turned eight in September, where we celebrated on her actual birthday—both her party and as a family. Her birthday
