Christmas 2021






Leah, Sara, Seth, Tom, Annie, Luke, Emily, Laura ~
sure wish Matt had been able to be there!

Love these grandkids ~ how fun to be together!
(Sadly missing Sofia & Lizzie Sherry, Tyler & Alex Ditto, Isaac Wright)
In January 2022 we'll be celebrating our 50th
wedding anniversary.  
Grandson Isaac Wright, exclaimed that "Ami has the sickest car ever" —
we think that's a compliment

Bringing home a 5' Lilac Bush — no problem!



With the Andersens at Iron Creek Campground near Mt. St. Helens, Washington

Stunning Mt. St. Helens ~ worth a visit!

Snowshoeing on our 49th wedding anniversary ~ Willamette Pass, Oregon
(and no, the chairlift wasn't actually working!)
Skiing with Seth & Leah's families at beautiful Anthony Lakes ~ eastern Oregon
Anthony Lakes Ski Resort ~ fondly called, "The Little Alps"
4th of July parade with Jessica, Matt, Sofia & Lizzie ~ SLC, Utah
Can't keep Tommy and Seth out of the surf ~ what fun!

Crabbing with the Andersens ~ Mila, Sage, Hazel, Truman



And more crabbing with the Wrights ~ Lucy, Kate, Leah (taking pic) & Cali

Yes ~ we do catch lots of crab!  Pure yumminess.
