Hyrum always gets me flowers and a card for our anniversary. Happy 27 years of marriage to us!
Hyrum and I took the Skinny Dan up to Kalama, WA for an overnight anniversary trip. We had wonderful wind on our trip to Kalama. It was 6 miles on the river from St. Helens and only took us a little over 2 hours. We sailed the entire way...what a great day.
Our hotel was right on the Columbia river with a marina next door so we basically sailed right up to our hotel.
A cute paddleboat was anchored for the night
Heading back to St. Helens the next day. We sailed for about 4 miles but then we used the motor the last 2 miles because there just wasn't great wind. It was such a wonderful little anniversary get away and I hope we can do it again sometime.
Townsend and Saki met us in St. Helens and we motored over to Sand Island to relax on the beach for a bit. The kids swam a bit but the water was absolutely freezing!
My favorite part of Spring...baby ducks
Saki getting ready to run a relay for track
We got to celebrate Saki for "Senior night" at track
They made posters for all the seniors
We took the family to the open house for the Willamette Valley LDS temple. It was a pretty small temple but they did a wonderful job with all the stained glass windows.
Biking to the Hillsboro Saturday market
What a great place to be on a Saturday morning
Saki got a hair cut and style in preparation for prom night
Making sure her nails were cute for prom
She went to prom with a great group of friends, mostly people she knew from cross county.
Everyone loved her dress, she looked very lovely and had a wonderful time
Stevie gave me these flowers and card for Mother's Day...I'm so glad I get to be her "mom" one day a week, she is such a cutie!
Mother's Day walk around Jackson Bottom wetlands
How are we so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place?
While Saki and I were in New York City, Hyrum took the boys on a great bike ride in Corvallis
Biking with friends is the best
Hyrum was in charge of breakfast for staff appreciation day at a work. He made delicious crepes for everyone. He had options for sweet or savory and it was a real hit!
We celebrated Saki's 18th birthday...officially an adult!
Saki's final race of the track season. She ended up with pretty terrible shin splints but I think she still would have done it for the chance to be with friends.
Another walk around Jackson Bottom:)
I hosted book club. We read "Shark Heart" so I did my best to incorporate the shark theme. I especially loved how my "sharkuterie" board turned out!
Saki and her track coach, Lori Abraham. The crutches are due to the bad shin splints she got while running!
She made so many great friends during track
Just a dad and his boys:)
Working in the yard. Saki actually really liked helping with yard work because her apartment in Japan doesn't really have a yard.
Out for a bike ride with the twins
Saki was asked to go to the spring formal or Mormon Prom. Unfortunately her date was at the State track meet that evening so he wasn't in the photos but he joined the group during dinner and then went to the dance. I believe she had another wonderful night with friends.
Out on the Dan, Julian is not a fan of sailing 😆
But he does love his mama 💝
Monkey see and monkey do up in the trees on Sand Island
Another wonderful month of adventures and fun and family and laughing and biking and good food!
