http://qnadrapers.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Making memories for eternity. Thursday, December 30, 2010. This was our second year to sing in the lobby at the Nutcracker ballet in Portland. Ariane has put the group of mothers and daughters together. We had a few practices in the weeks before then sang on Dec. 21st. We sang for about 45 minutes as people came to the show, then we were able to go watch the ballet for free! It was really fun. Here are the cousins in 2009 at the performance. Look how they've grown! And switched colors.). The week of the ...

JnK Bates Family: August 2010

I didn't do it, I promise! Tuesday, August 3, 2010. What have I done? So my wife has been doing this exercise / nutrition program for almost a year now called "Live the Life" (Kristi / Trish, here is the shameless plug for your program.and since I have a total of 2 people who follow my blog - my wife and my mom - this will clearly be the best marketing you receive all year.you can thank me later). You could also compare me to Brad Pitt (circa 1995). Or on occasion, people would confuse me for Zac Efron.

Making memories for eternity. Saturday, October 23, 2010. A good visit from some good friends! Our favorite friends from Nebraska moved to Washington shortly after we did. They made the drive down from Everett to come visit! It was so fun to see them, and hear their voices again- it felt like part of home was back here with us! The kids had a blast playing and we visited all night long. The weather was beautiful so we went and played at the Ridgefield park! Grandma and Grandpa Draper have said for years ...

Making memories for eternity. Thursday, January 27, 2011. Allie, Lance and I were able to go pick up Quinn on his lunch break and go to KC Teriyaki. This place reminds me of L&L Hawaiian BBQ in Vegas. We love it. Allie and Lance love their noodles and teriyaki chicken. Quinn and I love it all. In fact, I could go for their salad, sticky rice and pot stickers right now. Yummy. That night Quinns parents took us to dinner and a Blazers game. Heres Quinn with his mom and dad- thanks for the great seats!

Making memories for eternity. Thursday, April 29, 2010. On Lances bday we put some candles in his muffin for breakfast. He would sit and smile while we sang, then he'd try and blow. But after many tries he could not get that fire out. So he'd ask "Awie" or "Dyn" to help. Then he would say, "Day- day. Me. and blow" Meaning, sing to me again so I can blow out candles. All day we would hear, "Day-day, me. I think we lit about a hundred candles that day! Thats what little boys do. Basketball, "Whats this one?

Making memories for eternity. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Quinn was supposed to go to Bend for a work retreat, but the retreat was cancelled. The Crofts have a cabin there, and told us we could go use it because they weren't going to be using it for work. We took the kids out of school Friday and drove down about 4 hours just past Bend, to Sunriver. We got there LATE Thursday night, and Friday morning we woke up and got in the hot tub! Check out Lance showing his muscles like the big boys! Here's the Ski-...

Making memories for eternity. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Lance vs. the barstool. I love my kiddos. It is not fun when one of them gets hurt! Today we had preschool at our place again and as the kids were finishing snacks, I started getting things out for our activity. The funny thing is, that today when my friend dropped her daughter off at my place, she told me she was going to a friends and would be close if I needed to call her to come get Lance, or anything. SO right away I knew to call her! After ...

Making memories for eternity. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. Happy Birthday Dylan boy. Dylan is 9 years old! I can't believe it was 9 years ago we were living in Pocatello Idaho and Dad had just graduated from Idaho State. Unlike Makayla, Dylan was born screaming- and kept screaming for about a year. He keeps us all on our toes- and can be so fun to be around too. We love watching him play sports, because he puts his whole heart into every game he plays. Dylan got a little wiffle-ball game going. Allie and Whit...

Making memories for eternity. Monday, September 20, 2010. Soccer Season has begun! Fall is here, and so another soccer season has begun. Dylan is now on a bigger field, with bigger goals. He is on a great team with a great coach. He has them work really hard at practice, and do lots of running. Friday night before their first game, the boys went to his house for a spaghetti dinner. First, they had to run around the block three times. Then after dinner they watched a soccer game. Sunday, September 19, 2010.

The QnA Drapers: March 2010

Making memories for eternity. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. While we were in Portland on Friday- I thought we should go walk around the temple for a minute- I don't think the kids had seen this temple yet. We stopped at the bookstore for a new CD then went to see the temple! The kids thought it was fun until we got in the car to drive home and had to go pretty slow with the Portland Friday afternoon traffic. Dylan does not like traffic. He kept saying, "This is wasting my time! And "come on go faster people!
