New Year Bangs

Can we say electrical engineer?? Nicholas decided to bringing in January 3rd with a bang.. after church on Sunday while we were finishing getting dinner ready, all of the sudden Jon and I heard a bang and pop sound coming from the counter. As we turn to look, there is smoke coming from the telephone plug in the wall from where the pop/bang sound came from. Nic had the biggest OH NO look on his face, as Jon ran over to make sure there was no fire, he found the penny Nic slid in between the plug and outlet. Needless to say the penny and plug were melted, and Nic was ok. It did give us a good teaching moment for the kids on why we do not stick things in the wall outlets, and a good selling point for the wall outlets that have their own kill switches to the power.

Christmas PJs

On Christmas Eve we always get to open new Christmas pajamas from gramma and grampa.. the kids love it. It always means it is one step closer to Christmas morning. Thanks mom and dad Jon and I loved our PJs too, you are the best!

Christmas 2009

Everyone was very spoiled this year for Christmas. All of the children were on the nice list and Santa stopped at Gramma & Grampa's house in Wyoming, and he did stop in Seattle to drop off Lucy's presents as well.

Christmas in Wyoming is always soo much fun, Jon teases Nic, Stock and Branden that they played so many hours of Lego Wii games that the only communication they understand is the Lego character talk. Syd and Mara got very very nice hair irons and new nail design sets that they spent lots of time getting ready. Playing spades this year brought new players to the table, Syd and Mara got to join the big table game and had fun learning to bid on their own, and Jon was excited to win a game.

We did our traditional day after Christmas bowling and movie in Cody and with Dad and Mom coaching we are all getting better in our bowling game.

Christmas Eve 2009

Prime Rib, Shrimp, presents these are a few of our favorite things on Christmas Eve... What a great start to Christmas, we had good weather for travel to and from Powell, Wyoming this year. We had a blast spending time with the Wirtzberger family and enjoying all of our favorites. It did actually start when Dad and Uncle Bill almost burnt down Aunt Jan's house trying to deep fry a wonton in a frying pan. But the prime rib was awesome, the shrimp was very delicious and the kids were having a great time.
