Blood Moon

I know I'm a lot late in posting this, but the littles and I did wake up at 12:45 AM a few weeks ago and take a look at the Blood Moon eclipse. It was pretty neat. I know the photos aren't the best, but it was pitch black outside.

Haven't discussed work much lately, so here's a little update. I've been back full time now for 6 months. The routes are running smoothly. I can't believe how lucky I am to live and work in the same town. Although not having weekends off has been a bummer on occasion, there have been plenty of benefits to having weekdays off. Here are a few awards I've won with my hard work in the first quarter of 2014.

Happy Sibling Day! Didn't even know there was such a thing. Here's a throw back to like 1982 with favorite brother. I think I had a bike wreck several days before this picture was taken. 

Peter Pan Jr.

The drama club at Frontier finished up their season on a high note last month, as we were treated to an outstanding performance of Peter Pan Jr. Nathanael played one of the leading roles at Smee, while Sarabeth was a mermaid. The performance was extra special since it was presented at the Moxi Theater in beautiful downtown Greeley. Nathanael was a real hoot, and nailed every line he had. Bob and Bonnie were also in town for their spring break and were able to witness the play. Great job to Mr. and Mrs Long and the excellent work they did with their cast! 

Games!

Its that time of year again! Time for the AWANA Games! Kids have been practicing every Saturday morning for the last 6 weeks or so in order to be ready for today. Was thankful it was in Eaton and not south Denver this year. It was a close one, but Mountain View pulled it out at the end and were crowned champions! Can the shoe contracts and other endorsements be too far behind? 

Testing

Sarabeth moved up to advanced orange belt last week at karate. She has progressed so far in the year she has been in karate. Very proud of her. I really liked what her instructor said about the new level she is on. One of the keys she should be working on is "Recognition of others personal strength and cultural background."  I like that. She also reminds me of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV in some of the pictures of her running before her test in the empty room.

Spring break 2006. Nathanael and the Pacific Ocean. The Roth family at Lego Land. 

Games!

After taking tea, we ended up at Dave & Busters for some dinner and games. Kids had a blast winning tickets and eating a pretty good dinner. I enjoyed watching them win and guarding our ever-growing pile of tickets. And what day in Denver would be complete without a stop on Colfax at VooDoo Donuts? Noah said the Denver store wasn't nearly as shady as the Portland store they visited last summer. Great family day in Denver! 

Tea

Finally, after promising Jennifer for what seems like a decade, we made the trek all the way to Boulder today to visit the Celestial Seasonings plant. We sipped some tea samples while waiting for the tour to begin. It lasted about 45 minutes and included a stop in the infamous peppermint room. The tour ended in grandpa Roths favorite place: the gift shop. Glad we finally made it. Sorry it took so long babe.
