Climbing Wall

(December Day 3)

Recently, we had an awesome play date at Stone Gardens in Ballard. We highly recommend this as a place to learn how to climb.

This was my first time climbing, so I was a little nervous at first.

I only went this high on my first try.

Once I got the hang of it, I went all the way the top (and a little competition from “science Max” helped too):

Annabel tried too:

My girl Phoebe wasn’t too excited about it either:

Some places we could climb with no ropes

Annie just liked to jump:

Massive dog pile on Stephen:

Looking cool while waiting:

We’ll be back to more holiday stuff tomorrow.

Addams Family

04 Nov

I’m a proud member of a group of dancers at Exit Space School of Dance. I take a Hip Hop/Jazz class there.

For the last few weeks, we’ve been working on something fun for Halloween. This dance is teaching us how to count and follow choreography. While we get to do some freestyle (my favorite part), I have a lot of fun learning new moves. If you look closely, you can see me blinking in time with the first part of the music.

Born this Way

31 Oct

As many of you know, Lady Gaga is one of Annabel’s favorite performers. We have Gaga Dance Parties in our kitchen all the time. We had a VERY special treat this year – Lady Gaga was in Seattle over the weekend!!!!!!

This is a moment we will never ever forget!

Here is the rest of us – all dressed up and ready to go!

We love you, Lady Gaga!

The Gorge

06 Sep

To celebrate my last weekend before school starts, I got to go camping for the first time. Annabel and I loved it and can’t wait to ask Santa for camping supplies of our very own.

We camped at Vantage River Resort on the Columbia River.

Dave Matthews Band Caravan was performing at the Gorge- but most importantly we were there to watch our good pal Christian perform with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. We got to go back stage and even on stage (practically) to watch the show.

Megan and Zubin came too (luckily my mom and dad had some expert campers to show us how it’s done.)

Enjoy the slide show.

Blueberries

22 Aug

Yesterday we went to Remlinger Farms and picked our own blueberries

Dad and I did most the work while Annabel played around.

I kept trying to teach her which berries to pick:

Annabel kept eating all the blueberries instead of picking them:

Dad and I picked a lot more than the girls.

All in all, we got 5lbs.

Annabel turns 2!

15 May

Yesterday we celebrated Annabel’s second birthday. It was also the day for my dance recital – so we had a busy and exciting day.

Annabel helped make a cake!

While Annabel was taking her nap, we decorated the house with red balloons and decorated her an Elmo Cake. She was very happy to get calls from everyone to wish her a happy birthday!
