Great swim season !

Here is the picture that the Issaquah press photographer took of Thomas during his 500 fly race.  This is one of the races he won.
He had a great swim season this year.  He qualified for kingco in the 100fly.  He raced and took another 3 seconds off his time.  We are already excited for next year.
We are really proud of him.  It was so fun to watch him swim. 
  Good Job Thomas!!!

Super bowl

We had a great super bowl party. 
We started with placing our bets.

Coin Toss......heads or tails
dad
Joseph
Emma chose tails.

Thomas and I chose heads......we won!

National Anthem .......longer than 1:54 or shorter?
Thomas, mom, Joseph and Emma said that it would go over.
Dad said under.....The national Anthem was 1:53.......Dad won!

Game winner.....steelers or packers?
Joseph and Emma chose the steelers.
Thomas, dad, and mom went with the packers...winners.

Total points scored....more than 50 or less than 50?
Dad, Joseph and mom said less
Emma and  Thomas chose more...they won.

The prize was a dollar for every one we guessed right.  Thomas won the most...unfortunately Joseph only got a dollar for his participation, because he didn't guess one right.   He's hoping he'll make up for it during our Oscar party.

Our Menu:
We decided to served different dishes each quarter.
First quarter....Paula Deen's Cheese ball, hamburger sliders, fruit salsa and cinnamon chips.

Second quarter.....Sausage chicken gumbo (Emeril) crab dip in sour dough bread, pretzels and chips.

Third quarter cinnamon popcorn, brown sugar smokies, m&m almond, m&m pretzel and m&m plain.

Fourth quarter.....Texas sheet cake
We were stuffed!!

We kept track of each of the new commercials and voted on which one we liked the best.  Here are the five top vote getter:
Audi......Escape luxury
McDonalds......report card
VW.....using the force
Eniem....Detroit
Chevy.....rescuing Timmy

Up next.....Dad's birthday!!
