How cool my mom is

Remember how my mom took a ceramics class one time and became really amazing at it? No? Well I do and just in case you don't believe me look at this chip/dip bowl she made us for Christmas. We eat a lot of chips and salsa :)

Valentine's Day

I think this was the first Valentine's Day when I actually did something fun for Aaron besides just a homemade card. I cooked a ham! (Well it was pre-cooked but still)

And this is the pretty table set up

Aaron bought me a really beautiful pearl necklace but I don't have a picture of it. I hope your Valentine's Day was as good as ours!

What's this?

Sometimes living up here in Seattle I feel like Jack the Pumpkin King. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaxKiZfQcX8

Last Saturday the rain turned to snow and I managed to capture a video of it.

I was very excited so naturally I had to go dance and play in it.

Remember that pile of snow I wanted on my porch-balcony-thing?

My father in law suggested we go sit in the outdoor hot tub while it was snowing. So we did.

Actually getting in was tricky 

Yeah we're that cool. I wish we had taken a picture of the pool furniture since all of it was covered in snow.

Well that was the snowy adventures. It's raining now and most of it is melting. Sigh. It was fun while it lasted.

This is a picture of me and Aaron at his company party in the Space Needle

It's kind of dark but the best I could do. I'm wearing Aaron's suit jacket because I checked mine thinking I wouldn't be outside very much. It was fun to get all dressed up and see Seattle at night from the top of the Space Needle


This is a cool paper mobile that reminded me of my sister Geneva. I bet she could make it if she really wanted to :)

The box is still as much fun as the present.

We took a glass blowing class here in Redmond, thank you living social. It was a lot of fun.

Aren't we so cool?

Flurry of Blog Posts #2 - It's Christmas, It's Christmas!

As kids my oldest brother would come jump on us each Christmas morning yelling "It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" So check out our Christmas decorations.

We always had garland and lights growing up

My mom made these super cute mice for us. I played with similar ones my entire childhood. 

Mama Boushley gave us the Noel decoration when we first got married, it's a tradition in their family for the husband to change it to Leon some times.

No Christmas Tree this year since we're spending two week in AZ. Sigh. Next year.

Flurry of Blog Posts #1 - Don't mess with us

So over Thanksgiving Aaron and I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico for a friend's wedding. We stayed with Aaron's buddy Brian and went shooting one of the days we were there. Here is the video evidence of our killer shooting skills.

Also Brian has this cool remote control car thing that can drive over all sorts of stuff.

And here are some shots of us shooting a .45 hand gun. This thing was awesome, almost no kick to it at all. Even I shot the stuff I was aiming at.

There isn't a picture or video of it but I SHOT A CLAY PIGEON AS IT WAS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR!!!!!! Considering that I have been shooting all of 4 times before this is a big achievement for me.
