Wild Flowers

These pics were from one of our weekly hikes behind our house. Logan's favorite flower is the dead dandelion you can blow.




















This was from a walk in Spain.

Trip to Portland

Our yearly trip to Portland was fabulous as always. It is always filled with lots of friends, playtime, fun outings and of course- tons of shopping! We stayed with our best friends the Washburn's. Five kids in one house! So busy, but we all survived and had so much fun.
Playing laser guns with Emma. Lukas and Emma are four days apart and used to be neighbors. They are buddies.




Jack and Lukas at Hop Works for dinner. 16 adults and 12 kids came, it was a riot.




Lukas and Emma as super heros in their capes.




Watching the sea lion at the zoo.




Hanging with the elephants.




Silly times with the busted ball.




Emma and her new baby brother Eli.




All the little monsters- Evelyn, Logan, Lukas, Ben and Emma.




Our Godson Eli, what a sweet little boy.

We sure do miss this city and all the great people that live there!

Visit from Friends

Erik's college friend Jake and his girlfriend Bethany traveled from San Francisco this March to come visit us. We had a few days to pack in some Swiss adventures. Had a blast.
They brought us mac and cheese and beef jerky.




Bethany brought an ABC animal book for the boys. They loved reading it with her.




Hike up to Wartau to grill sausages and see the ruins.








Beer and sausages.
