October 2026

October was full of beautiful color!

Bryndel finished her XC season strong, medaling in her last couple of meets!

Piper had a great senior homecoming with her two best friends.

Bryndel shot an enormous buck with her bow!

Piper's XC season did not end quite the way she had hoped, as she was sidelined most of October with a quad injury. She rallied and was able to run in her final meet despite serious pain. We have been so blessed to watch her run her heart out, and could not be more proud ❤️

September 2026

September ran by us, literally! Both Piper & Bryndel have been working hard out on those cross country trails! And what a privilege to be out their cheering for them and their teammates as the summer turns into fall.

And while the girls were running this month, Kyle was up in Alaska moose hunting.

Family Vacation 2026

We spent a glorious six days out in Colorado last week. Such a beautiful part of our country! This summer, we ventured a little further south than last year for some adventure at Sand Dunes National Park and it did not disappoint!

The sandboarding and sandsledding was a blast!

From there we tested our strength on an alpine ropes course, got in some high altitude hikes, and finished with a tour of the Garden of the Gods.

25 Years

Twenty-five beautiful years of marriage today ❤️ We are so blessed!!

July 2026

It was a bittersweet July, as we spent our last weekend at Lake Washington. It has been such an epic family gathering location for almost 25 years 🩵 Lovingly dreamed and planned for a family of 5 that grew and grew, and grew some more. And while the lake will no longer be our gathering space, our hearts are overflowing with priceless memories shared together at Grandma & Grandpa's home. 

Hadley & Piper were blessed with a trip out west to visit their Great Aunt Bev! They were even joined by Auntie Kim & Auntie Kara!

Hadley & I spent some time painting and spiffing up her rental home for this fall.

Piper and her best friends have been bisy working on their Senior bucket list!

And Bryndel has been busy picking berries, visiting friends, going to the library, swimmimg in the pond, and taking a visit to the zoo.
