Earthquake Video (sorry it is sideways)...

At the Seattle Pacific Science Center they have this really cool globe. Normally they have the actual weather patterns showing when we go. The last time we went, they had a video of the earthquakes that have happened in the past month. If you look - there is a key that shows the size of circle indicates the magnitude, and the color indicates the depth of the earth. You can see the date rolling. Watch for New Zealand's big one and also all of the activity in Japan. We watched it for a while.


This is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen...


Star Wars and the Farm







It is sad to say, but my kids are definitely city kids. For preschool we went to the Farm on a field trip. If you ask Jaron, he would tell you his favorite part was the cow, and feeding the chickens. There was not a cow, just a spotted horse. But no matter how many times I told him, he was convinced it was a cow. The kids got to pet a pony, sheep and a rabbit and feed chickens and a pig. The pig was 600lbs, and very wooley. The farmer asked the kids which weighed more, Mommy or the Pig....we won't be going back :) The kids got to card wool and use it to make a sheep at the end. It was a lot of fun.


Star Wars came to the Pacific Science Center! We went (Jack and Paul are going to go again), but here are some highlights:

February Recap...







Paul turned 32! Kenzie and Jaron helped make the cake. Jack and Jaron helped Dad by doing the laundry.



Grandma and Grandpa Buckley and Aunt Natalie came to visit during mid winter break:



Here is a recap of February....it snowed, it melted. The kids were actually able to make some snowmen (brother and sister snowman are the names in case you were wondering).
