Poor Baby

I can't tell for sure but I think Cooper is going to get his top four front teeth right about the same time. They've been these rapidly growing bumps and now two of them feel as if they are going to finally break through. Coop is finally coming down from a cold too. I felt bad for him but at the same time I loved last week because he was super cuddly. The poor kid, he's growing like a weed which has got to be somewhat painful, teeth are popping out left and right and the kid either can't breathe through his nose or gets super ticked when I constantly wipe it off.

He was the first to get sick, then me, then my in-laws, now Jake....who's next? That tiny little kid's germs really packed a punch for the rest of us.

Lunar Eclipse

Last night we both had the night off from our constant and various obligations which gave us the chance to observe a lunar eclipse. It was the first time I've ever seen one. I wish I could have taken a couple of pictures but our camera wasn't with us. I never realized, although I think I knew in the back of my mind that the moon shines so bright because of a reflection of the sun. When the earth is exactly between the sun and the moon, that is what gives us a lunar eclipse. The earth casts a shadow over the moon and makes it look hazy and very dim.

We called Jake's dad to ask him a couple of questions about it. (He is very keen on his astrology.) We asked how many regions of the earth saw this...He said that only 2% of the earth's surface saw a complete lunar eclipse and we were part of that! Hopefully some of you others got to experience some of it too.

Might I add that it was extra special in that it was a completely clear night last night. Which as some of you know that is a special gift at this time of year in WA.

After the lunar eclipse we went to the church for one of Jake's basketball games. I love watching him play ball, he really is good.

Job Interview

A guy from a company named Rinchem called Jake this morning to conduct a phone interview. He gave them his resume at the BYU job fair a couple of weeks ago. We happened to be driving out to Port Orchard when he called so I had the opportunity to sit and listen to Jake interview. From my perspective I thought Jake interviewed really well. He is SO GOOD with those kinds of things. It's funny because he stumbles over his words a lot when we're just talking or being "normal" but when he's on the spot in something like an interview he can really sell himself well. We'll see if this guy gives us a call back.

Jake also recently applied for a job with Del Sol, the company he did his internship with. It's a corporate position, the fourth one that he's applied for with them and we heard back from them for the first time on this one. We'll see what comes next......

We went out to Chucky Cheese's today with my mom, brother and sister. I haven't been there since forever ago and it was just as I remembered it, well....maybe not as cool as I remember it being. It was a lot like going to the county fair, crazy with kids running around everywhere trying to win crappy prizes....and "carny" looking parents....hahaha.

However, it was fun playing some of those games and I agree with our friends Jared and Ali, it would be super sweet to set up a ski ball tourney at that place some day.

Something's in the air...

Today was the weirdest....(And so weird, I don't even know if I'm spelling Wieriedierd right...)

My team played out in Kent and came in 2nd place out of the whole tourney. Long day, we showed up at 7 am and I got home at 9 tonight. They girls were amazing. The last game (champ match) was so crazy I thought I was going to puke. My adrenaline was going big time. To add to it I saw 2 huge accidents on the way home and called the cops on some naked kids outside in my in-laws neighborhood. Four teenagers (two boys and two girls) were doing something they probably shouldn't have been doing in a home development currently under construction.

Jake and I are house sitting for my parents friends. Last night was our first night there, big king size bed, house on the water, just built this last year, and a dog running around all night. Needless to say, we didn't sleep much last night, too weird for us. But we really love the house and tonight should be better, I hope. That lack of sleep and todays events make me feel like I'm in the twilight zone, so if all this sounds like a bunch of nonsense, I apologize....atleast you know why now.

I'll just shut up :)

Tomorrow should make more sense!

V-day <3

Valentines day has never been such a big thing for us...maybe it will be one day when we have money to splurge on gifts and flowers and all that lovey dovey stuff. Yesterday however was a beautiful day out so we packed up our lunch and went out to have a picnic on the water. It was a lot of fun, kind of chilly outside but it looked warm with all the sun. Today we made little goody bags for our siblings and delivered them to their schools. That was a lot of fun too :)

Oh, I guess we did have a gift for eachother, we just bought a new camera and called that "Valentines Day". We've been without a camera since about October....That's been really hard with Cooper growing so much!!! But now we have one as of two days ago and I just need to start posting the pictures we've been taking.

As for jobs, still nothing yet. But for some reason, it's working for us. People keep calling and saying, "I hear you're not working right now, I have a little job for ya if you're interested...."

Jake's been taking all these little projects and they've added up to be quite enough for us! We've been so blessed. Plus, I'm still coaching and absolutely loving it. We have another tourney this Saturday. Then we start traveling in a few weeks to some of our bigger tourneys taking us to Eastern Wash. Oregon, and Texas.
