Grandma & Grandpa's Anniversary Party

Jess, Justin, Mom and I went to California for a quick weekend trip to see Grandma and Grandpa.  Our family threw them a party to celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary.  It was a bit of a whirlwind but it was such a blast.  I was kind of dreading the trip, thinking that my grandpa was going to be so ill, but we had the greatest time and I'm so glad we went.  We had the best time and laughed our heads off all weekend long.  I was so glad to spend some quality time with my grandparents and my siblings.  It isn't often that we don't have any kids with us.  Grandma and Grandpa were bummed that we didn't bring the kids, though so we'll have to bring them next time!  
Shout out to the Keaches for hosting an awesome party!

Wow!! Lovely anniversary party. Good to arrange grandpa and grandma’s anniversary party. My parents will be celebrating their anniversary next week so going to use these amazing ideas for their party that will be held at Seattle venues. Happy to organize it in unique way.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
