January 2023

 Happy 2023!  Some pictures of our January activities....

For Christmas Cole received a rock tumbler.  This is a picture of the rocks before we tumbled them.

The rock tumbler.  It makes so much noise I had to move it to the garage.  

Play date with friends at Defy.  Alexis having fun swinging.

During Christmas break I took the kids to Seattle to spend the day with Danielle.  We are on the ferry to Seattle.

Tour of a chocolate factory.  So many yummy samples

Some Lego creations

Allen made these without a kit-so creative

Eliana, Alexis and Carter

My friend Regine visited for a week.  We always forget to take pictures.  Alexis helped us out.


Cole lost a tooth and Alexis left this note for the tooth fairy


She got this note and gift back.  Then both kids left a note that night with some money.  But the tooth fairy didn't return with gifts:(  She is super busy.

First sunny day in awhile.  Playing in a puddle. 

We ran into some friends while riding bikes. So then we decided to play with chalk.


We started movie night again at my Mom's.  We read "Where the Wild Things are" then watched the movie and compared the two.  Fun to see the kids insight.  


My neighbor's grandson Rowen came for a visit with his brother Josh.

Jumping off the couch.  Alexis getting some air.

One of Cole's New Year's resolutions was to workout more. So he stared a fitness club.  Here he is running around the lower level.

Friends made this hat for Alexis.  I just love the colors.

Cole lost another tooth

Dress like a teacher day.  She is dressed as her 1st grade teacher Mrs. Brown.

I led art this art project in three classes.  The kids loved it.
Cole's BFF Carter.  I didn't get any pictures of my kids:)

I think they like their new bed.

Having fun with our cars

We joined 4-H Cat Club.  We took Max to our first meeting.  He was not a happy cat--he would not leave the carrier.

We had this access path built so we could bring a vehicle into the backyard.  Cole thought if he ran and jumped with an umbrella he might fly.


Our last bus stop with friends who moved

Had to take Midnight to the vet.  He would not go into the carrier--needed Allen to help.  Got home.  He got out and Max got in it. Cat's are so funny.

Danielle and I spent a day together. Here we are wine tasting.

Yeah...so this happened.  We had some additional dirt delivered and the dump truck got stuck on our new path:(  Had to be pulled out.  


Both kids started basketball.  This uniform is so big on him.
