Monday, May 31, 2010. Samantha's Sixth Birthday Party. This post is a bit belated, but I wanted to share some photos from Samantha's birthday party. But first, a short aside. If I were to ask you what type of "theme" most six-year-old girls would want for their birthday party, how would you answer? Probably you would say that most little girls would like to have a princess themed party, or perhaps a tea party, or maybe ballerinas? Here are some photos:. Here is the forest party set-up. We have a huge...

Living the Adventure...: Short Trip to Whistler
http://johnswilson.blogspot.com/2013/01/short-trip-to-whistler.html
Sunday, January 13, 2013. Short Trip to Whistler. Missi and I just enjoyed a few great days up in. Whistler with our friends Terry and Jessica. We became friends with Terry and Jess when they were living out in Seattle, but a job opportunity relocated them to Tulsa, Oklahoma about. A year or so after we became friends – way too soon if you ask us! Since they moved to. Whistler was awesome – it was very cold and there was tons of snow everywhere. And were very happy with the accommodations. See photo desc...

Living the Adventure...: An awesome guy's weekend in the Olympic Mountains
http://johnswilson.blogspot.com/2010/09/awesome-guys-weekend-in-olympic.html
Saturday, September 04, 2010. An awesome guy's weekend in the Olympic Mountains. And a weekend at the Oregon Coast playing poker, fishing, and racing down sand dunes. Without even the slightest hint of exaggeration, the "guy's weekend" is always one of the highlights of my year. This year we decided to try to go backpacking in Olympic National Park. This last photo was taken at about 10:30PM so the flash was blinding everyone. It was our last group shot together as Adam and I had to wake up at 1:30AM...

Sunday, November 28, 2010. A Breakfast Fave in the Wilson House. One of our favorite weekend breakfasts is Baked Oatmeal, or "brown oatmeal" as Sam likes to call it. As with many of our favorite things, we learned about this from the Zimels. And we still refer to the recipe card that A-R wrote out for us several years ago now. So you can also enjoy this awesome breakfast food, here is the recipe and a few pictures from this morning. Preheat oven to 350. 3 tsp baking powder. Links to this post. Or technol...

Sam of course loved seeing Jesse and Nicole's daughter Taylor.

Monday, July 12, 2010. Great trip to San Diego. Missi and I took a great trip to San Diego a few weeks back to attend the wedding of my great friend Dave. Dave was my roommate at George Fox and he is truly one of my closest friends in the whole world. I was honored to stand beside him as he married Charity. Charity is an amazing woman and we are very excited for both of them. Links to this post. An awesome example of a publicly misspelled word. I know summer is here and school is out, but c'mon now.

Saturday, March 12, 2011. We have some good friends who live here in the Seattle area but are currently in Japan for work obligations. They live in Tokyo, which thankfully wasn't the hardest hit area, but they definitely felt the quake and were affected. Check out The Millerhood. If you want to read a well-written first-hand account of the earthquake. Links to this post.
