Jordan got a friend...

While at the cheer competition they had several different sizes of Jordan's pillow chum and pillow pet. They had a baby one so I couldn't resist. He really likes them and uses them often. This time...a penguin.

ATC International Cheer Competition

This weekend mom came down and she and I went to the ATC Cheer competition at the Meydenbauer in Bellevue. They really did do a top notch competition. It was fun to see all the cheer teams, and even more fun to take first and take home the Program Winner for this weekend! Which means some $$ for the gym! Yay! Auntie Aim and Auntie Chris came down Saturday just to see Anth perform. Luckily he performs on 3 different teams so they kinda sorta got their money's worth...

That is Anthony, the big blur in the middle of the screen, doing his tumbling pass :-)

Basketball game

dribbling down the court...

looking up for a pass...

goin in for a lay up

It was a good one...and down to the wire (last 18 seconds). Great game!!! Jordan looked good, played hard, almost the entire game (he was tiiired) got 9 points, shot some free throws, made some good passes. Just lookin good :-) In the end we came up short but it really was a well played game.

Pretties!!!

David came home from work today with these! Made my day :-)

Dolly came to visit

Ally brought her darling 1 year old rat terrier Dolly for a visit. She is so teeny and cute!

Pig Tails Run (well...walk)

David and I went for a little walk this morning. We did the Pig Tails run around Lake Youngs. The loop is 9.5 miles. You can do one, two or three loops. We walked one. Yay for us! What a gorgeous day for a walk!

First basketball game

ref explaining the rules

He was dribbling though it looks like he was rolling... :-)

Origami!!!!

Jordan got an origami book for Christmas and bought himself some colored paper and this box goes from this..... to.....

THIS! Pretty cool, huh? I tried to get him in the picture but he had a big fit...

The girls playing a game

The girls played our game Would You Rather??? It's a really silly fun game (especially if you are overtired and playing with mom and Aim and Chris) but the girls had fun. One of the things you had to choose and they both got the card...and both chose to have someone else draw eye glasses and a mustache on their faces and keep it on for the duration of the game. They thought that was pretty fun!

The boys played a little XBox Kinect boxing

the Seahawk spread..

David made a huge breakfast spread. So delicious. He is a great host! He made biscuits (well, Tanya brought the biscuits) and gravy, sausage links, bacon, fries, eggs, and Amy brought sticky buns....YUM!!!!

The havin some grub

Seahawks!!!!

Dylan and Zach were here and they all ran outside to play basketball and all us moms
found was a pile of this...

the Carlsen's

The Wolf's

the Ford's

da boys

da girls

it has been far, far too long that we have all gotten together!!!! I remember when we first bought our couch, David had all three couples, sit down on it to make sure that it fit all our butts. That is why we bought such a big sectional. Then Amy and Nick had to move away :-( and we don't get to see them as often as I'd like...I don't like it. But I was so so glad that they were able to come and watch the game with us, boys got to catch up, as well as the girls!

Skyline Invitational Competition

Anthony had a cheer competition this weekend at Skyline high school. David, Jordan and I went to see him perform. He did a great job. Here is he and little Miss Ally.

Anth is in the far back throwing the girl in the air.

New addition to the family...

We sold Anthony's truck, getting to be a money pit and with as many miles as that boy drives between his aviation class in Auburn, back home, then down to cheer, it didn't make any sense with the gas mileage. So, we sold it. David has been looking for some sort of sedan-ish type of car. Something nice, that will last while, not new, but new to us. Tony has a connection in the car business who goes to car auctions and buys cars coming from dealerships. So, you know they've been inspected and tuned up. He got a really good deal on a Lexus ES350. Sounds fancy schmancy, huh? So...here is the new addition to our family. This will be David's commuter car.

Our *big* snow...NOT!

Last night before I went to bed.

This morning before I left for work.

Well...our big snowfall didn't amount to much. But if it snowed as much as it has rained last night and today, what a mess that would have been!

Basketball has started....

Jordan had his first basketball practice on Friday night. He missed his first practice on Monday because we missed the message so he was bummed. He is playing for Kent Parks and Rec. He is the only 7th grader on the team, all the rest are 8th graders, but from the looks and sounds of it, he will hold his own. Can't wait to see him play. He's excited about it too!

Seahawk play off game! 1-8-11 *41 to 36*

Jordan and I got to go to the play off game today. Mom offered us her tickets!!! We met Aim and dad at the train. Here are J and I before we headed to the train.

Me and Aim at the game

J and dad with J's nacho's

me and Aim at the Exhibition center. Jordan wouldn't get his picture with the big blow up man, so we did.

While waiting for dad and Aim, J watched this plane with the 12th man banner fly around and around and around. We did wait awhile and it was cooooold by the time they got there. But we forgot all about that when we got inside the stadium. It was LOUD and we were PROUD!!!

Some days it's good to be JordanTaylor!

Yummy Delisciousness!!!

Put our new cookie scoop to good use!!!

Employed!

It's for real now...I have an official badge...with a photo even!!!! My official first day was Monday, January 3rd, 2011.
