bubblies & blowers

We are at the end of 2012 and ready to move into the new year. Since this year was full of lots of changes I wanted to summarize it before my mind goes blank.

2012 highlights...

- trip to the big island for a week and a half and having to stay at the airport the evening before due
  to snow and barely making it out.
- after many years of discussing moving we finally made the leap and purchased a house in Bothell     and sold our house after closing on the new one. Talk about stressful but we LOVE the new digs
- going to disneyland with friends and seeing the new cars land
- going out on the parents boat on Lopez island.
- Ethan starting kindergarten.
- adopting two kitties from the Seattle humane society.
- traveling to florida for a week.
- celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary
- Jeff launched a game. (Buy it)
- family trip to the great wolf lodge.

2012 lowlight...

- both cats getting kidney disease.
- losing our two cats within three months of each other to kidney disease while moving/selling house.
- Jeff getting his tonsils out. Bad for him, good for me.

We can't wait to see what is in store for us in 2013 but hope that it is a great one.

Happy New Year!!!

go seahawks and score a goal...

We are moving quickly through the month of December and almost to Christmas. Yikes! I still have so much to do to get ready for the holiday but thought I would take a moment for a quick update. 

We signed Ethan up for lil kicker's at Arena Sports in Redmond and last weekend he had his first class. About twenty minutes in he took a tumble with another little girl and got a lovely black eye. Any other kid this would be a shock but not for Ethan. Luckily after a little hesitation and wanting to quit soccer for five minutes he was able to get back out there and score a goal. He even asked to go back to soccer the next day so way to go Ethan for being a good sport and sticking to it!

We also attended our first 2012 Seattle Seahawks game. Well it was a first for Ethan and I, of course Jeff had been to them all. After settling into our seats with our french fries and hot dogs we watched a great game and everyone left happy. Well at least if you were a Seahawks fan you left happy. 

We also have a house guest visiting us during the month of December. His name is "Johnson" (Ethan picked out the name) who has been sent by Santa to watch Ethan's every move and report back to the big man every night at the north pole. Johnson has been having fun getting into trouble at our house and Ethan is trying very hard to make sure that Johnson reports back that he has been a good boy.
