We don’t like to go out in the cold, so we abandoned our garden for the winter. This month has gifted us with a couple warm days so we checked up on our garden. Our garden has done surprisingly well! The compost we started a year and a half ago actually looks like compost! The [...]
Well, we had a pretty eventful weekend. We’re finally recovering from our various trips and able to relax a little on the weekends. On Friday night we attended a musical that one of Jon’s YM was performing in. The title of the play: “Zombie Prom”. We figured, zombies + prom + musical, how can that [...]
We had an uber-successful shopping season this year! About a week ago, we found a 24″ LCD full HD monitor for $170 with free shipping on the Dell Outlet website. Thanks to Twitter, I found a $20 coupon. So we got a humongous 24″ monitor for watching movies and viewing recipes while we’re cooking in [...]

Two weekends ago we headed downtown to join in on the Chinese New Year celebrations. There were so many people there it took us forever to find a parking spot. Right after we parked we passed by a few stores that were preparing for lion dancing. They were hanging up lettuce with red envelopes and [...]
Woooo-hooo! We met our goal is flying colors. As of today we have 110 hats. Last week we found out that the deadline for the hats is this Saturday so we had to crank it into high gear. We’ll be dropping off the hats in Seattle tomorrow Wondering how tall a tower of 110 hats would [...]
Happy Halloween, everyone! We got into the Halloween mood during FHE this week and we carved our first ever family pumpkin! We hope you enjoy our choice of carving pattern! Everyone loves pumpkin pi!
