Haley has gymnastics for two hours twice a week, and sometimes I stay and work and watch, and other times I hit up Costco, and last week it was 76 degrees and JT stayed home with friends and I was itching to get out and ride! So I planned to bike a trail nearby, andContinue reading “Bike the Bridge”

Women’s Retreat 2019
Two years ago, Kristin, Cacee, and I (and our friend Cynthia, who has since moved) went to the Christ the Rock Community Church women’s retreat at Alderbrook Resort. It was so fun, and we were excited to go again this year… even though none of us attend church there, it’s a great weekend and aContinue reading “Women’s Retreat 2019”
Second Grade Assembly
Haley was so excited for her speaking part in her second grade assembly! At first, after working very hard practicing for a tryout, she was told she would not get a part because she had a speaking part last year. We were disappointed that information wasn’t communicated before tryouts… but then she told us sheContinue reading “Second Grade Assembly”
Two Little Visitors
When my dear friend Kristin left for Hawaii for a week to visit her husband (who is on temporary station there for months), she asked if we could possibly have Sawyer and Jozie stay with us for the week. Of course, we said yes! Sawyer and Jozie play at our house allllll the time, andContinue reading “Two Little Visitors”
Family Weekend
We enjoyed supporting our nephew Preston’s pinning ceremony as he completed Warrant Officer Basic School. We joined him at Joint Base Lewis-McChord on Saturday. On Sunday, the kids and I went to see The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane at Seattle Children’s Theater. …and then we dropped the kids off with a baby sitter andContinue reading “Family Weekend”

Snowpocalypse and Sickness
February 3, it started to snow. The kids played outside and it was a lovely day. We had dinner with friends. It was nice. Haley made peppermint brownies. It was yummy and wintery. We had friends stay for lunch and snacks and had a wonderful time! Then JT got sick. He bounced back quickly andContinue reading “Snowpocalypse and Sickness”
Basketball Season 2019 Begins
We are so thrilled with our basketball experience this year (especially considering last year’s dismal one). We are on a team with friends, with an awesome coach, and JT has already had more points and ball handling time because he’s being utilized fairly. It’s been so much fun to carpool to practice, attend games asContinue reading “Basketball Season 2019 Begins”
Hall of Famer
Jim’s high school baseball team were state champions in 1996, and they were nominated to be inducted into the local sports hall of fame this year. It was a really impressive ceremony and luncheon with about 200 people attending in support of all the individual athletes and teams who were inducted. We enjoyed going toContinue reading “Hall of Famer”
BETT UK 2019
I went to London last week for work, to BETT (British Educational Training and Technology Show). It is one of the largest edtech conferences in the world, and I’ve wanted to go for years. I was super excited that I had a reason to go this year! I left Monday, landed Tuesday, and returned FridayContinue reading “BETT UK 2019”
