Well, yesterday was a really good day.

I took Henry to the waterfront to enjoy some of the Rose Festival attractions...

And then, little Wyatt decided to join the family!

I figured it was about time for my quarterly blog post.

This morning, Mike and I went to Mt. Hood and played in the snow.

All in all, the weather wasn't bad for January 10...a little breezy, but not so much that it knocked you off your feet.

Here is a stranger who happened to be in the right spot at the right time...

Here is me flailing about and messing up the nice view of Mt. Jefferson...

The boys took the kids to the zoo on Saturday.

Photographic evidence...

Here are a few pictures from our backpacking trip in Central Oregon. The participants were Eric, Jason, Mike, and myself.

Here is the sunrise view of Three Fingered Jack from Marion Lake...

Much of our hiking was through burned-out forest. Oddly beautiful...

We conquered two steep climbs on day 2, as we hiked from Marion Lake to Carl Lake...

We were rewarded with awesome scenery (Mt. Jefferson is hiding behind the cloud) and a downhill section to finish the day...

Self-portrait. Happy to be at our campsite, which was probably one of the best I've ever seen...

Jason ponders the meaning of life while sitting by the fire...

The morning alpenglow in the hills surrounding Carl Lake...

The views along the PCT were incredible...

Um, the views along the PCT were incredible...

The steepish trail leading down to Wasco Lake, our destination for night 3.

Good times!

Here's a taste test of some of our pictures from the annual Still Creek camping trip.

Stuff was thrown in the creek...

Campfire stories were told by Mommy...

Breakfast was awesome...

The boys...

The girls...

Henry, Mom, and I went to play today at the creek that runs next to our neighborhood.

Today, Mike and I went hiking/skiing.

Video = Epic Fail

Fun at the beach 2008!

Newport Aquarium



Henry is a winner!

Beverly Beach



Henry loves him some camping.

My family is the best!

Stephanie will post more pics on her blog.

It's a two post day.
Here are a few pictures from our trip to downtown Portland on Memorial Day.

Here's a few more pics from the Eugene Marathon. Go Trent!

Warning...it's a two-post day, so keep scrolling for more blog excitement.

First of all (well, actually, secondly if you're talking chronological order), Trent and I went to Hoodoo on Saturday for a great day of fun in the snow.

Here's a vid of Trent showing how to get it done on a snowboard...

Here's a vid of me on skis. Woot!

I'd say roughly 25% of these tracks were courtesy of Trent and me.

Last weekend, we went to visit my parents in Lynden.

Henry wanted to show Grandma his piano skills.



Saturday gave us perfect weather, so we went to the local park.
Lynden knows how to build a park.
