Bomb Cyclone

We were starting to get some rumors about a wind storm headed our way. Thankfully I read some articles and started to think this could be a big storm. But you never know because a lot of it just depends on where you live in the midst of all of it. Well, we were in almost the smack dab middle of it. 

 

We lost our power on Tuesday around 5:00.   Thankfully Brad had tested out the generator so we were able to use that to keep our fridge and freezer cold and also heat up our house.  We used it to watch a movie together as a family. 

The next day the kids played some football. 

We also went for a walk only to come upon a house fire right at the end of our street.  It was crazy!   Everyone was safe.  

 

There were a lot of trees down in our neighborhood but there were even more in downtown Issaquah. 

 

Our power finally came back Friday afternoon.  

 

Bananagrams

I'm not sure how this happened but I walked in on Brody, Colt, Ollie and Darby playing a game of bananagrams. I love it when they peacefully play games together.

 

Chef Brody

Brody is in a culinary class and had to make a dinner for the family. He chose salmon and fried rice. He did a great job and hope he will be making more meals for us.

 

Conferences

Bo had parent/teacher conferences a few weeks ago so he had two days off school. I took him and his friend Finn to see The Wild Robot.  The boys thought it was good but a little long.  I loved it!

 

 On our way home we stopped to check out the salmon in the creek near our house.

 

Basketball Action

A few action shots from Darby's basketball tournament a few weeks ago.

 

Red Rush Season

Bo finished off his soccer season with the Red Rush. He had a fun time playing and we enjoy watching him.  He was always ready to take the corner kicks. 

 

Halloween pt. 2

Brody went to a Halloween Party on the day after Halloween. He dressed up as Baby Driver. I have no idea what that is but I guess its a Netflix movie.
