blog mush

I love moments like these..

and these--estudiando con amigos.

Some of Ali's recent drawings.

Girl power for sure!

We got serious about our sweeping.

And Emmy finally has a pet mouse, straight from our garage.

Meet Freckle and then say good-bye to him. Steve and Emmy took him for a ride down to the fields and let the cute little rodent free. ('cause that's what kind of dad Steve is). Emmy was super excited about the whole thing and Steve won major parent points. She tells her friends that her pet lives in the forest by our house. She can't really go visit him, but she still feels ownership. That is my kind of pet. ;) And I get no parent points for that.

eagles here and eagles there

Sunday, January 24th we drove on over to Yakima for Coby's Eagle Court of Honor. Well done, Coby!!

It was also the last time we will see Lon for a very long time. He has to go back to the Philippines, but hopes to return soon. We are really going to miss him. Like a lot.

Saturday, January 31st Jake set up a table at the Issaquah Little League Skills Evaluations and sold First Aid kits to raise money for a scoreboard at Tibbetts Field. He did awesome. He was there for 5 hours, talking to people and asking them if they would donate. Not an easy thing to do! But he did great and members of his Troop gladly helped out. He reached his goal of $4000, and any extra money he earns from the vast amount of First Aid kits we still have (oops--way to go, Mom) will be donated to the City of Issaquah to help with the installation which they are now going to do on their own. (yay!!)
