    The river was raging!

Ivars!

The Spokane River was running high

Fun at the park

The Scoop...super good, homemade icecream 

They use liquid nitrogen to make their icecream 

in small batches. The waffles are homemade too

Zips Burgers..a solid burger. Reminded me of

Fords or Burgermaster.

Dawns favorite sushi restaurant in Spokane..

Sushi Maru.

We met up with Brady, Kristi and the kids for

a fun weekend in Spokane. If you are in 

Spokane, The Scoop and Zips are definitely 

worth hitting. The sushi restaurant is the 

conveyor type. Its tasty and reasonable. All

in all it was a great time.

Christmas Eve

Looks comfortable 

Borries Pasta

Presents!

A White Christmas 

Another excellent Christmas Eve dinner

at mom and dads house. The prime

rib was perfectly cooked and the shrimp

potatoes were awesome as usual. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Logging Creek

Thats some cold water!

A game of war! I think Michael won.

If you're looking for a small, lightweight 

and packable stove you might want to

check this out. Its the Emberlit Fireant

stove. I've used it a couple times and

love it so far. This is the stainless model. 

This was a nice little drive we took a few

weeks ago. Its a beautiful area.

Big Sky Bakery

An Almond paste filled Croissant 

Free Sourdough Bread

Apple Danish with vanilla cream and below is a Pumpkin Scone. All were very delicious. Dawn also had a ham and cheese breakfast pastry that was great.

Garden Update

A quick garden update for the 12th of July, 2016.

Tomatoes are coming along nicely. It will

be BLT season before you know it!

The recent rains have really helped.

A great looking onion crop this year.

Our New Hobby

We recently started geocaching. It seems like something fun for the family that will get us out of the house. Here are a few of the caches we have found. 

This one was a little tricky. It was hanging

on a tree branch.

Hopefully we can log a few more this 

weekend.

2013 Wrap Up

 Michael ready to tear it up

Michael's 12th Birthday Party

Another year gone. The older you get the faster the years

fly by. We had a good year. Michael worked hard at

Football. I can't wait to see him play in JR. High next 

year. Yosh is going to letter in Color Guard I think...

pretty cool. We did quite a bit of traveling. Our 

trip to California was a blast. We also managed 2 trips

to Vegas, a long weekend in Seattle, a couple days in 

Spokane and I drove out to Minnesota. All in all a

good year.

Sunsets in Big Sky Country

Some amazing sunset pictures taken off my deck in beautiful
