Morning Hike at Fitten Green

Well the sun was out and so was the Osborne-Gowey family. We got up and quickly left the house this morning and enjoyed the sun on a great walk up on Fitton Green. Here are a few photos from the walk...

A "Mental Health" Day with the Family

Our family packed a picnic lunch and headed to the beach for a "mental health" day! It was such fun, we walked on the beach, had a picnic, and then headed to the Siletz to fish. It was an amazing day :)

Peas...yuck

This weekend we tried having baby Jeremiah eat peas...I don't think he's a fan. He loves fruit...of course it's sweet, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Finn would eat it no problem when she was his age...not her favorite but she'd eat it. Well our little man is proving he is his own individual and is nothing like his sister...he hates them...with a passion and made the funniest faces while eating that we had to capture it on film.

Great Family Hike to Beazell

Ahhh...I love winter. Jeremiah went in early yesterday so we could go for a family hike in the day. We were out for a couple of hours...it got a bit cold but we had a great time. The dogs hiked until they were exhausted and Finn ran most of the way singing "the ants go marking one by one..." that's our girl. Here are a few pics from our daily adventures.

A Night at the Rap Concert

Wow did we have a great night. We left the house at 4:30 and it was a beautiful sunny, warm, sunset. We walked into campus to see Litefoot (Cherokee Rapper/Actor)perform at the MU on campus. We were invited to the Longhouse for a pre concert potluck. Finn had a great time making (or eating) fry bread and being one of the "girls". The concert was awesome...little man kicked his feet to the music and doodle danced in the isles. It was such a great chance for Finn to see that being an Indian is more than what she sees on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Litefoot even talked about the importance of respecting your elders and your roots. She was enthralled. He talked about the Cherokee Trail of Tears...and on the way I home I talked to her about how our family made a very similar journey to Oklahoma.

I put her on my shoulders during the concert and she just stared wide eyed. Well my kids can't say I'm not cool...I realized half way through the evening I was breastfeeding my son at a rap concert.

Family...and Piglets

Last night we went to a dear friends house who raises pigs. She has several batches of baby piglets that have been born in the last few days...one batch was just born. Both kids loved it! When I wasn't looking Jeremiah put baby Jeremiah in a small area with piglets...I was a bit nervous but wow was it cute. Enjoy!
