another award!

By
Nora-bearski got ANOTHER award a few weeks ago! This time, she got the Sensational Sockeye Award. (Sockeyes are the school mascot). The award is for students who demonstrate respectful, responsible, safe and caring choices. The reward is a certificate, a special lunch with some teachers and her picture up on the "big screen" during Wednesday lunch. 

I was surprised about all these awards because a) she can get into her fair of trouble at home and b) I don't remember Evie getting them. Well, we suck because when we asked Evie about it she told us she's gotten Sensational Sockeye 3 times - once in first grade and twice in second grade. That made us feel bad for not celebrating it with her when she got them like we did with Nora. 

The best part of the award so far has been that Nora has mentioned a few times how she tries really hard to be good at school because she wants to beat the other kids and get another award, haha.

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
