Rock Star

We were playing the game Apples to Apples Junior tonight.

The kids were supposed to define a "rock star."

Elizabeth said that she thought a rock star was someone who knew a lot about rocks and was awesome at rocks.

Then, you were supposed to use a word to describe "rock star."

Elizabeth put down the card "messy" because when you chip away for rocks and use your rock tumbler, it gets very messy! And washing your rocks off can also be very messy.

It made me laugh.

Oak Creek Wildlife Refuge

The cub scouts den went over to hang out with the elk today. Nathan brought his binoculars. Jeremy took these pictures. They also rode out on an old army truck amongst the elk and got to feed them big bales of hay. Nathan had a good day! 

Crafts With Kim

Today, Jeremy and Nathan went over to Yakima for a cub scouts outing. They went to the Elk Creek Wildlife Refuge. Elizabeth; meanwhile, stayed with Kim and crafted!! She did so many fun things and came back home with a big box full of great things to put on her wall! 

Kim sent me pictures of all her her crafts. 

She said the one with her name was her favorite!

These painted bunnies were so adorable!! 

When she got home, she lined up her canvasses, her picture frame and her two bunnies. She had a marvelous day! I'm sure she would not mind more craft days with Kim!! 

Kim also made this craft for Nathan. It was funny the background was in camo and he happened to be wearing all camo today. 

Thanks for a great crafty day Kim!!! 

Father/Daughter Ball

Father/Daughter Balls are a big deal around here. We've heard about them for several years and this year Jeremy and Elizabeth decided to go. The theme was a football theme, but we don't follow football and have no Seahawks gear, so they just dressed up in their super fancy clothes! Their wedding clothes!! It was nice to get to use them again! Jeremy said a lot of people were wearing Seahawks stuff, but a lot of people were also dressed up like they were. So they didn't stand out too terribly! 

The ball was at the TRAC. Jeremy said their were 250 Dads and at least 250 girls because some families brought more than one girl. He said it was really crowded, but Elizabeth had fun eating snacks and twirling her dress while dancing. 

A picture before they left. 

A picture Jeremy sent me from the ball. 

Snow Day #9

Snow day today for freezing rain. Jeremy and I were out driving at 9 and it was completely fine even on the side roads. This should have been only a 2 hour delay. Yet here is another day the kids won't go to school. This time was the first time I feel they made the wrong call. And I'm sure we won't even make it up.

Elizabeth's 7th birthday party #2

Elizabeth also had a birthday party for the family. Papa Ray, Kim, Papa Norm, Gram, and Auntie Laura were able to come. 

Papa Ray and Kim brought these great Valentine's baskets! They spend the evening painting their new crafts! 

Auntie Laura brought Pippa and had a Doodle Date with our neighbor doodle Sherman. 

Opening some fun new presents. 

A new hula hoop!
