Go Hawks!

David and Ryan joined Bill and Melanie at the Hawks vs. Rams game tonight.  It's such a fun way for them all to spend time together!

Our little green machine. 

Ice Skating Adventure

We had so much fun on our ice skating adventure with Shari and Donald.  David's, not an ice skater so was the photographer instead.

We hadn't been skating since last year, so it took us all awhile to get acclimated to the ice again.  After a few laps we were up and rolling.  Natalie's indepence on the ice surprised us.  She wanted to go around by herself, and so she did.  It was really fun to watch all 3 kids (and Shari and Donald) gain confidence with every lap!

The gang.

Conference Week

With conferences mid-week, I had to take a day off work.  The kids and I hung out with friends, and visited the zoo.  It was chilly, but fun to get out and see what the animals were up to.  I particularly liked the South Seas fish exhibit.  It was so warm and tropical.

Snow!

Scenes from the bus stop.

It's always exciting when we get snow.

Celebrating A Friend

Our friends took the kids for an overnight party in honor of Temri, then David and I met up with them all at the Seattle Children's Theater to watch The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.  What a fun way to celebrate our friend!

Ornament Workshop

Kendall's Girl Scout troop tipped us off to an ornament workshop at one of the local Lowes.  We all had a great time creating wood ornaments, and having lunch afterward.

Ryan's 1st Basketball Game

Ryan decided to give basketball a try this year, and we were all for it.  We realized last winter that he needed something to keep him busy in between football and baseball, and this is a pretty easy commitment compared to the other two sports.  He practices one day a week and has a game every Saturday.  So far, he's loving it.

The first game was pretty rough.  It was more like a game of hot potato, but the boys had fun!  We look forward to watching them improve each week!
