Catching up

As life goes along, I don't think we are doing anything to blog about. But when I reviewed my pictures there has been a lot of little things. So here is a picture by picture update on our winter months.

Steven Lettered in Wrestling last year. Then again this year. He Lettered at weight 215 and 175. This year, family members gave money towards his Letterman Jacket for his Birthday. We finally got it and $650 latter...

Here in Washington the kids get a "Winter Break" the week of Presidents Day. This is in addition to "Spring Break" which is coming up soon! It is hard to come up with things to do with the kids because the weather is still yucky and the house is still too small. That's when it comes in handy to live so close to the city! One day we went to the Zoo with our friends and neighbors.

While we were at the Zoo the people who worked there kept hurrying us out of certain areas. We were starting to get suspicious when they finally said that we had to "proceed to the nearest exit" I guess a monkey had gotten out of its cage and they were not able to keep it isolated in one part of the zoo! So we went to an enclosed Merry-go-round at the Zoo and ate lunch. By time we were finished they had caught the monkey and we were allowed back into the Zoo again! It made for great excitement and a good story to tell!

We also spent a day at Seattle Center and the Pacific Science Center! It is always a fun area and we can easily spend a whole day there and without getting bored and not having to spend a lot of money! Seattle is great! I love it here!

On another day...
A co-worker of mine directed me to a great deal on a dinner/show called "Under the Gypsy Moon" at Teatno ZinZanni! I didn't know what it was either! but the tickets were such a great deal that I couldn't pass them up. Brian was out of town that week and so I went with my girlfriend, Rebecka. It is an original Circus Tent downtown next to the Seattle Center, that has a wonderful variety of entertainment and acrobats while they serve you a 5 course dinner! It was so much fun! Here is the website so you can get the fun effect.

As I said before the show was "Under the Gypsy Moon" so we got to dress the part!
This is my Gypsy interpretation!
(I had to have a tiara!)

Our winter here has been colder and snowier than any we have experienced here in Seattle! Often this winter we have woken to snow on the ground, but it frequently was melted by mid-day.
This is my pond in the back yard. I love how it looks with a skiff of snow on it!
You have got to love my wagon wheel and milk can.
In Idaho you see that everywhere! Here in Washington...well people thought I was a little weird but it is growing on them!

Now you are updated on our winter months!
Tomorrow is suppose to be the start of Spring! Hopefully our adventures will become abundant.
Best Wishes to you all!
