Abbie captures this one - May 22, 2024
Abbie and Kelly flew to California for Charlotte and Anna’s first communion. They then all drove back to Oregon and stayed for Kelly and Erin’s birthdays.
It was a fast and fun week. They took a trip down to Sunriver and the girls got to go horse back riding. We all drove to Eugene to see Noah run at the Hayward field for the State meet.
So grateful for family and good times. ❤️
Major solar flare eruptions on the sun allowed the the lower 48 to see northern lights may 10, 2024. Hunter, PJ and I got up around 11:30 pm to see them. We heard they peaked around 2 am that night. By the next night they were all gone.
April 29. Skied with PJ today. Is was 24 degrees and dumping. Most definitely not spring skiing!
This past weekend Hunter graduated from his one year program at Montana Wilderness School of the Bible. It’s been a fast 9 months.
Abbie and I flew out to Montana and attended the graduation and then we drove home with Hunter in his rig. He will be home for a couple months getting surgery on his wrist + recovery.
We snapped a couple of cool picks of the windmills and farmland on the north central Oregon plateau on the way home.
Abbie and I are trying to grow some herbs for medicine and tea. We started our seedlings in little seedling greenhouses.

Presidents’ Day weekend 2024. Abbie had a cheer competition in Seaside so we decided to make a mini vacation out of the event!
We arrived Friday and watched the goonies with the kids Saturday we explored around the Astoria area to see some of the famous scenes from the movie.
We did some great hikes and walks along the coast. Here is deadman’s cove across the border in Washington.

Our place (through Vacasa). Really liked it. 1 block off the beach in Seaside.
This weekend there has been a deep cold snap across the northwest!
Hunter is near a town called Augusta Montana and they had temps down to -57 F. They had fun throwing hot water inter the air watching it instantly freeze.
Kelly and Abbie were in Portland this weekend. It usually just rains in the winter but they had temps down below zero with windchill and snow on the ground!
PJ, Noah and I were in Bend. We also had some cold temps -6/7 F all day on Saturday with over 12 inches of snow. Still cold today in single digits (around 5) so a little warmer and sun!
Blue bird day on the mountain. Snow still a little light but a great day with the whole family (minus Hunter of course) along with the Gormly clan and their friends the Foster family.
