This is a great picture. We were at Hoffstadt Bluff in this photo. Looking at the valley that was once full of pyroclastic(I don't know if I spelled that right) flow from the mountain.We can't wait to go up there again.So much more to see and do. Plus really couldn't even see the mountain do to the weather.We did see a lot of other people up there though.Even in January.It's is really raining here again today.Yuck.I am even sick of this rain.And that is saying a lot considering I usually kinda like the rain.Grandma Sue goes home tomorrow.So sad. We sure have had fun.

Family Fun

Here is a new family shot taken by Grandma Sue tonight. I know I haven't updated the blog in a while. We have just been having too much fun.Yesterday we even took a trip to Mt.St.Helens. Well, we didn't get as close to the mountain as we wanted. Just barely got into the "Blast Zone" when the rain turned to snow(we knew that was going to happen, because we had already been told the road up ahead was closed) and the snow was strong and steady.Moments later our SUV was spinning around( in a direction I didn't want to go in) and we ended up with our front end in the ditch. We and the car were fine, no harm done, but needless to say I let Jason drive the rest of the way back to Hoffstadt Bluff Vistor Center. We had fun though.Meghan is now 3 months old and 13lbs, 5oz. So she is growing well. And changing more everyday. Sydney is well, being Sydney. Always full of life and energy.I promise to post more tomorrow. I have a ton of pictures to put on here.;-P

What's not to smile about? The Seahawks are going to SuperBowl XL!How exciting and amazing is that? I have been watching football as of late due to the Seahawks and actually now have a much better understanding of the game. In my wildest dreams ,I never thought to utter the words" The Seahawks are playing in the SuperBowl".I used to be punished by watching Seahawks games.I kid you not. Not anymore.I just can't get over it. How wonderful.It has done such great things for the city. Really bringing people together.But it will not be against the Broncos, as the performed badly , and I mean badly, against the Steelers.What a great day in Seattle history.So happy.

We had a good time watching sports yesterday. First the Av's played a great game winning their 7th game in a row. Now tied for 2nd place in their division.And we can watch next saturdays game too, because it will also be on NBC.Then the Seahawks won their first playoff game since 1984. And will face the winner of todays game next weekend in the NFC Championship.So cool. After that we watched the Bronco's win their game as well. I never thought I would have any interest in football.But now thanks to the Seahawks I can't wait for next weekend to see if they will go to the BIG GAME. And of course Jason is responsible for my love of Hockey and the Av's.;-p It hasn't been to exciting here otherwise. Sydney continues to grow and change. She is a handful these days. But alot of fun too. She is getting to be quite a talker too. I wonder where she got that from.Heehee.Meghan is great also. She is awake alot more then she used to be now. And seems to be a night owl.Also getting that from me. I would much rather stay up late and sleep in late too.Soooo not a morning person.Lately Meg has been staying up till about 1 am the last week or so. But then usually sleeps to about 8 am or so, eats and then falls back asleep until about 10:30am. So it hasn't been too bad.But we are still working on changing her schedule. Things are crazy at Champion as always.But Jason is getting through it okay. So that's the latest news from here. GO Av's and Seahawks!!!!!!!!!!

There will be another game this weekend on NBC. Yeah! They will be sending 11 players to the Olympics next month, representing 8 different countries.Go Av's!

Just another day

It's another rainy day here in Vancouver.We've had something like 3 weeks without sunshine.It would be nice to see the sun for a change.We recently found out that Grandma Sue is coming for a visit on the 23rd. So we are quite excited about that.Jason has been kept busy with work. Sydney has been her usual climbing self. She seems to be pushing our buttons a lot lately. I think to see what she can get away with.Meghan is well. We enjoy making her smile and coo at us. We hope to get a new family picture done in Feburary. There really hasn't been too much going on with us lately. We had a nice Christmas and New Year's. And even have all our decorations put away now. Jason and I have been working on changing our diet in an effort to help lose weight. So it has been about 2 weeks now since we have bought things like soda,cookies,candy, etc. I think not having soda has been one of the hardest things for us. So we now drink things like, tea, juice and crystal light.Jason even made applesauce yesterday.So we will see how it goes. Meghan needs me now, so I will try to post again soon.;-p
