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. 

Thanksgiving in Idaho

We spent thanksgiving week in Idaho getting our new place outfitted to stay in. Plan is to start renting after the snow melts in the spring.  We had lots of snow up there - so beautiful.

We love the town of Bonners Ferry 25 min south.  We spent an afternoon exploring some of the shops and having dinner. 

Worked on the house.  The seller had to put up some temporary railings to sell which we took down this trip.

PJ turns 13!

Preston turned 13!  He had the boys in his class plus a couple other close friends from the neighborhood - Jasper and Caleb. 

We did a box construction project and the boys did a great job!
