Our friend Tim takes his kids to Silverwood on a regular basis. It’s a special tradition he has with them. We were honored to have them invite us to join them camping and playing at Silverwood. Silverwood is half amusement park and half water park. It was too cold for us to enjoy the water […]

Some of our WA state friends road tripped to California and went on a cruise out of San Diego. We were one of their pit stops! They spent a few fun nights with us. It is so great to know young men who still have strong bodies that can handle the pummeling from our boys! […]

We were blessed to celebrate our friend’s birthday on Memorial Day, with a tri-tip BBQ, the salads I just posted, and a homemade birthday cake by Crystal’s grandma! The tri-tip turned out AMAZING! The boys made cards for Eric. ‘R’s looked like a wrapped present on the outside. Open the “present”, and on the inside […]
