Turkey Day 2009

2009-11-28T21:09:00.000-08:00

Today we went Bowling with Jer's parents, we used to bowl with them fairly often when we lived in Portland, and I used to hate wearing the rental shoes, so for Christmas one year, Bob and Polly got me a Beautiful Purple Ball and some spiffy white Dexters. Those shoes will probably remain neon white for the rest of my life!

Shanna's Visit

2009-03-26T20:16:00.001-07:00

Lunch at Etta's

Good food, but the lunch prices were a little high.

"These Salmon are awfully small" Says Shanna to the Flying Fish Monger.
Needless to say, he didn't smile for the camera and we never saw a fish fly.

Yes! Take that GI JOE! Jane Austin has an action figure!

"They Mysterious Case of the Dyed Hydrangea."

Just another day at the market.

Shanna on her phone on the stairs."You be gentle with my melons!"

Mmmmm Cheese!

Christmas Day 2008

Sorry Mom, I know you hate it when I have hair in my face!

Since we decided not to travel, we spent the day among Church Family, first Beth and Nathan, and their kiddos, and then for dinner the Baker/Molitor/Malone clan took good care of us!

COOKIES!

2008-12-14T15:57:00.000-08:00

Oh Snap!

Home Made Ginger Snaps

Mini Sugar Cookies

Impossible to ice; but isn't the penguin cute?

Snowflake Shortbread
Note to self: Shortbread works best with holly or stars or circles.
Snowflakes lose arms.

Iced Sugar Cookies, Ginger Snaps, Mini S.C.'s,
Holly-Leaf Shortbread and Green Wreath Spritz Cookie

It was icy and cold outside, so I decided to have a cookie party all on my own. Jer played his Xbox and we watched "Christmas Vacation" while I rocked the kitchen with my mad cookie baking skillz.

Independence Day Parade

2008-07-04T22:51:00.000-07:00

We attended the parade in Kirkland. My favorite group was the Unicycle Group who attatched antenea to their helmets and rode under a banner that read: Happy 4th of July Earthlings. Just cute!!

Father's Day

Carley Rose, Our littlest friend

2008-04-24T23:17:00.000-07:00

When Jer and I first started "trying" our friends Beth and Nathan were working on their second child. They had better success than we did! Their Little Girl Carley was born and I was the second person to visit her in the hospital and I was there when they decided that her name was definately "Carley Rose" Jer and I have been crazy about her ever since! And her Big Brother Gavin is very cool also!

Family Pub Night

2007-12-23T17:58:00.000-08:00

It's not a tradition yet, but I'm lobying for the idea when we go to Portland for christmas this year. Christmas eve at the Old Market Pub or "The HUB" sounds like fun! My mom and her sister really had a good time, and I love hanging out with my brothers. I used to be the only one who wore glasses, and now we all do!

Happy 2007!

He gives us a wonderful dinner at a nice Italian place and we all have a good time together.

2006-12-05T22:35:00.000-08:00

A few weeks before Christmas, there was a windstorm with winds up to 100 m.p.h.

The power was out for four days at home, one of which the temperature in the house was the same as the temperature outside the house, a balmy 28 degrees.

Snow Falls!

2006-11-20T21:56:00.000-08:00

A snowy surprise! It dumped snow and Jeremiah's truck got stuck on the hill by our house, so Chief and I walked about 1/4 mile in the snow to meet him and give him more clothes to wear.

Then we played in it.

We Only Meant to Look...
