What a great weekend!

We had such a fun weekend!  It started Friday for Ashton and I.

FRIDAY

He had a field trip to Central Market.  We shop there often, but have never seen many of the places the employees see.

His Class.  The "Madeline" doll is because it was French Friday and the French teacher was trying to incorporate some french words at the field trip. She used the doll for the kids to find and then they would have to talk about stuff that was around it.

They are very serious in the board room. 

They let the kids try cheese. It was blue cheese. Most of the kids did not like this type of cheese. It was funny to see their faces.  

They were able to see the refrigerated section and this is the freezer. Brrr....it was cold!

SATURDAY

It started out with 8am Basketball practice!  Mark is the head coach for Ashton's team.  They are looking great and have their first game next this coming Saturday.

Then there was Team Photos. This is from my camera. Not the professionals.

Then Saturday afternoon we went bowling! We invited Ben's girlfriend Sabrina.  We first went to lunch at Panera Bread and then headed to Brunswick Bowling on 164th.  It was a lot of fun! In the first Game Sabrina seemed to do so well by using the bumpers a lot. Not sure how she mastered that one, but it was funny!  In the second game, Mark seemed to have warmed up and did awesome. Ashton actually didn't lose. He beat Sabrina by a tiny bit. She was being silly and goofy, but it paid off for Ashton!

When we first got there, it was Moonlight bowling. Fun! I wish it would have lasted the entire 2 hours. It was great!

SUNDAY

It was the Seahawks versus the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs!  Seahawks won!! What a great game.

Happy New Year!

2014

Wow! I can't believe it. They year went by so quickly.  I am looking forward to this year. Mark and I will celebrate our 7 year anniversary this year on 07-07-07!   This will be Ben last full year at home before he goes off to college….. sad….
Marks Mom and dad turn 70 this year.
Our friends the Prices, will be celebrating their 25th Anniversary on June 25th. (That is pretty cool.) Jenny Prices's mom will be 70 this year also.
Hannah turns 16 -eek! Wow! She will be driving. They both will have their license. That is crazy wild!

Definitely a year to remember!

The year started off with a relaxing day at home. Mark Put Christmas lights away and then we took a nice walk with Ashton to the Mill Creek Town Center.  It was great to enjoy the sunshine. We haven't gone on a walk for a long time there. Then when we returned, Ashton wanted to play Seahawk Monopoly.  It was his first time playing the adult version of Monopoly. He had a lot of fun!

After a long game (about 3 hours...), I wasn't able to manage my money that well. Mark and Ashton were so close for 1st place. Mark won by about $70. 

This photo is Ashton getting excited about buying lots of "suites" for his property. $400 each time you land on it. Ouch! 

I had to keep reminding Ashton that we can only play this on days we have a lot of time. He loves games and he would play this a lot if he could. We will stick to Shrek JR. Monopoly that only takes 15-30 minutes to play each time!

It was a great first day!  Here's to many more in 2014!
