Hannah Turns 9

Hannah had her party this year at Chuck E. Cheese. She invited Grace Creer, Olivia Walton, and Emma & Coley Kirschenmann. It was a mad house but the kids had a blast. She had a Hannah Montana cake that she picked out herself. She received make up and nail polish from Grace, a fairy barbie from Olivia and a Hannah Montana barbie from Emma & Coley. Mom and dad got her a Wappy Dog video game and she got a big barbie type horse from her sister, Emily :)

I love him!!

We went to outback for our D date....it was Dinner Down Under :)

Hannah on our local news

Here is a news report that Hannah was on. The 3rd graders at her school all received ipads this year and the local news did a piece on it. Hannah appears at 1:33 in the video. Here is a link to it: http://www.kndu.com/story/16937082/richland-students-see-improvements-with-ipads

C Date

For our C date, we had another first....The Crehst Museum. It was the first time for either of us and we had a good time. It was very interesting. I love anything to do with Hanford History so we spent the majority of our time on that stuff. There is a great hands on area there too that we plan on taking Hannah to sometime soon. We ate dinner at an italian restaurant called Casa Mia. It was pretty good. I had butternut squash ravioli in a sage and shallot butter. We also had spumoni ice cream for the first time.

Our B Date

For our B date, we went to The Bees Knees, an antique place in the uptown that we had never been to. We also looked around in Becky's consignment store. We bought the coolest drop leaf table. We have been wanting to get a smaller, round table for our tiny dining area and we thing that this will work perfectly. It can be small with the leafs dropped down when not in use and big for meals or games with the leafs up. We also had burgers at Burger King.

Winter Storm Jan 2012

Playing in the snow/ice storm. January 2012

This was a coold wintry week for us here in Richland. About 7 inches of snow PLUS freezing rain on top of that. Have had the whole family home for a couple days but poor Matt has to work all night in this frrezing cold/rain :( I feel so bad for him, but I guess it prepares him for real life. Hope everyone else is staying safe and warm!

ABC Date

We are participating in an ABC dating group with some good friends of ours. This was our first one (letter A). We had lunch at the Atomic Ale. We had never been there before and probably wouldn't have gone if it hadn't been for the ABC dates. We had yummy tortellini w/pesto and roasted red peppers and a honey wheat garlic roll, and lemon pepper chicken w/ veggies.

Then we went Bowling at the Atomic Lanes. We had a great time but haven't been bowling in a loooong time and boy did our scores reflect it!

Time to start planning for the letter B now......
