HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAN!

Dan turned the BIG 2-9 on April 22nd. It was a fun filled weekend. Saturday night we enjoyed Tapas at the Black Bottle in Belltown with Debbie and Amy. Sunday we stuffed ourselves at Salty's Brunch. Dan ate enough crab to make up for the cost of both of our brunches. Dan spent a big portion of the day filling up his new Ipod with his favorite tunes. To top it all of we sang Happy Birthday to Dan with a coconut cream pie. One more year and you're no longer a spring chicken!!!

President's Day Weekend Ski Trip to Mt. Hood

FUN Ski Weekend with our friends: Leah and Anthony, Becky and Kyle, Heather and John. Leah and Heather were both with child :) We enjoyed hiking, eating, skiing, playing poker, and especially listening to Dan sing silly songs on the keyboard. Good Times!!!!

Number 5 is Alive!

On the weekend of March 25th, Dan competed with his father-in-law, Jerry, in the Pike Place Market Centennial BBQ competition. This was their team 3 Alarm BBQ's 3rd competition. They started at 7pm on Saturday night and ended at 4pm on Sunday. Daniel took the early shift and didn't make it to bed until 4am. Lucky for him, he had the crack heads of Pike Place Market to keep him up and entertained while Jerry slept in the truck. At one point he thought he'd have to defend himself with a heavy duty spatula. The BBQ's burned hot with thick delicious smelling smoke for 15 hours. They cooked beef brisket, pork butt, chicken and ribs. Their team took 5th place on their pulled pork (winning $45) and 12th place overall out of 31 teams. Not bad considering they came in last place overall at their last competition. Way to go guys! To view the results go to http://www.pnwba.com
