BJ turns 11

Happy Birthday B - It was only 11 years ago you were so little!

Fanfest & Snow???

Most of you that know us, well, you know we're not a big baseball family. We enjoy the occasional Mariners game, but as of now our boys haven't played much.

On Saturday I took the boys to Fanfest down at at Safeco Field to get ready for the spring Mariners Season. It was snowing ... even inside Safeco with the roof closed. We stayed for about 2 hours and I don't think we could feel our toes by the time we left.

The boys had a great time, they got to run the bases, sit in the dug out and throw some balls out in centerfield and the bull pen. B thought it was pretty cool to hang out where the Mariners play.

I really wanted to do this for Brennen 'cause he doesn't get to do much right now and he's always such a great sport getting dragged to all of B's activities. I think if anyone in our family is a baseball player, it'll be Brennen. He does love the Mariners.

Here are some more pics from the day.

Basketball for the New Year

Some highlights from BJ's Select Game Jan. 24th, 2009. His Bothell Team is doing very well and right now sitting tied for the top spot.



Over the long weekend Bothell also played in the MLK tournament down at the UW. The team went 3-1 only losing in the semi-finals to Redmond, one of their bitter rivals this year. They ended up winning the 3rd place game, out of 12 teams, 3rd place is nothing to hang your heads about boys! Go Bothell!!!

Here's a team pic and a couple pics of BJ during the tourney.

Welcoming 2009

Despite all of the challenges 2008 brought, overall it was a good year for our family. It's crazy to think that 2009 is here already, but here we are and we hope this year will be as good for our family as last year was.

We had a fun evening bringing in 2009, just a quiet evening at home playing games of all types with the whole family. We played a few board games, some Wii games and had a great time. Here are some pics & a great video of B upstaging Bryan at a Wii game!
