There's not much I can say about these photos without bawling my eyes out. So I'll keep this short and sweet. As most of you already know, this is Trenton's Senior Year. He'll be 18 in February. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around ALL of this. And with every letter that arrives from a college, I lose (another) little piece of my sanity. Needless to say, the last few months have been a little rough. But we've managed to get through SAT's, applying for a couple of colleges, ... Read More
Poo Poo Point
Don't let the name fool you: it's a funny name, but NOT a funny hike! First things first. Poo Poo Point is located on Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, WA. It was about a 45 minute drive from Puyallup (where we live) with a pretty incredible view of Lake Sammamish and the town of Issaquah. It was cloudy when we were up there, but apparently on a clear day, you can also see Mt. Rainier too. Oh, and it's called Poo Poo Point because of the steam whistle sounds heard throughout the mountains in ... Read More

2019 Recap
It's so true what they say: the days are long but the years are short. And 2019 was no exception. But I feel like we did our best taking advantage of what we had: the long weekends, the good weather, and the locations we just happened to be in. Here are just a few highlights: January - Successfully completed my 1st (and probably last) juice cleanse! Trenton also played his first show at the Hard Rock Cafe with his band, Dysfunkshunal. February - Snowmageddon 2019! We managed to make it ... Read More
Mt Saint Helens
I've lived in Washington pretty much my whole life (except for 4 months while I was waiting to be adopted in Korea) and I had never been to Mt Saint Helens. When I told Davey this, he immediately added it to our Hiking Bucket List. We ended up having a free weekend in early November and off we went. If only things were that quick and easy when I asked him to fix the fence in our backyard. 😒 I don't know that we could've picked a better day for our adventure; it was warm but not too ... Read More
