Vancouver Adventure

So our trip to Vancouver didn't turn out exactly like we planned...It ended up being blizzard-like conditions near the border...just after the border about two miles down... We did a 360 in the road, looked straight into a ditch and then coasted down the same ditch..Some good samaritans adopted us for the five hours it took for the tow truck..We arrived at our hotel at midnight, to be awaken at 7:00am by construction...We were lucky though, the car suffered minor damage and we were able to finish out the trip in safety..It will just be one to remember..I'm just glad we didn't have the kids with us....













This is the concert hall where Peter was suppose to see Cecilia Bartolli...

Eggs anyone..


Friday night, all cozy in bed, wham..we've been egged...I look out the window just in time to see the boys laughing,running down the street..It's too early in the year for this but the weather was warming up...So Saturday night when I was driving home I saw two cars and fifteen boys hanging out at the park nearby...I wasn't ready to clean the windows agains so Peter called the Sheriff out to break up the party..We live in a nice neighborhood with some spoiled teenagers with nothing else to do but drag race, egg, and party at the park till 4:00am..Not looking forward to summer....

Downtown Issaquah




A field trip to downtown Issaquah for a history lesson can always be interesting when you add three 9 year old cub scouts..one being related....They had a blast though and we learned a lot about the town's orgins...Happy Days...

I came down this morning to an excited Anna-Maria.."Mom, Alex made me hot chocolate and it only cost me a dollar"...Wow..I think she was jipped since it cost a $1 at Starbucks for a professional to make..Of course the dollar went back into her piggy bank...They start young...

Alex's dress shoes had too long of shoelaces..So Peter fixed them..now they are too short so every Sunday Peter has to ties Alex's shoes..tried to take the photo of just them but Anna-Maria of course had to join in the fun..

Valentine's Class Party

Happy Valentines Day....




I just wanted to write a few words of thanks and love to my husband Peter...I have one of the greatest....He always says he does more around the house than the average man and it's true..For years he was the one that feed, bathed, read stories, and put the kids to bed while I worked at night....He does the dishes every night and the laundry on Saturdays...In fact he is the Man and Woman of the house on Saturdays while I'm at work...He always has supported my independence and encourged me to do what I wanted....He works hard to provide for us on a daily basis...He has finally figured out my sarcasm..and even tells jokes now too....I love you Peter!.....
