2025 track season has begun

Noah’s boys/girls team finished 2nd overall

out of 42 teams this past weekend. He took

2nd place in the 800, and his relay team

came in 1st. It was a blast watching the Wolf

Pack race! A few more from the previous

weekend at Oregon Relays at Hayward field. 




Abbie’s Impulse cheer comps 2025

We just returned from a couple of Abbie’s cheer competitions. One was in Portland,Tacoma and lastly in Lake Tahoe. A special bonus was getting to spend time with Papa, LuLu, cousin Olivia and their friends, Barry and Louise in Tahoe. It has been a fast and furious few weeks but it has been wonderful, and the girls did an amazing job!


College visits

We kicked off the week before spring break by

touring colleges with Noah. We visited Boise

State, the University of Idaho, and Washington

State, and wrapped up with Noah joining a

friend to check out Kelly’s alma mater,

the University of Utah. 


Winter Showcase 2025

Abbie’s Impulse competitive cheer team kicks off the season with an exciting winter showcase. This special event gives friends and family a chance to watch the team perform before competition season officially begins, making for a fun and memorable night. 💜 🩷 





Christmas 2024

We had a wonderful Christmas together as a family. After the holiday, we had the pleasure of hosting Hunter’s girlfriend, Adalynn, whom he met while attending school in Montana. This was our first time meeting her, and we had such a great time showing her around Bend. Addie is an absolute sweetheart, and we truly enjoyed getting to know her better.


First NBA game!

PJ is really into basketball.  For Christmas i took him to see his first (and my first) NBA game.  Iwas able to get two tickets in our company box for a Portland trailblazer game on Dec 26 against the Utah jazz. Last time they played in early December the trailblazers lost big time. This time it was a nail-biter until the end when Portland scored the game winning 2 pointer with 0.1 second left on the clock. 

It was great fun / I would definitely do that again. PJ said it was his best Christmas gift.
