This spring, JT decided to continue playing basketball. So did Sawyer. So did Ryder. So we signed them up for spring league midweek basketball. Then, the next day, we found out about a weekend tournament club team with a coach who we had heard was amazing. Hmmmm… We generally ask JT and Haley to chooseContinue reading “Two Basketball Teams”

Remembering Grandma Christensen
On Satuday, April 13, our (great) grandma passed away peacefully. Julia Christensen was 94 years old and had lived a full life. She was ready to meet Jesus in eternity! We are so grateful that we had many, many years and memories with her. I pulled a variety of photos from the past few yearsContinue reading “Remembering Grandma Christensen”
Diary of Anne Frank
We went to see the opening night of The Diary of Anne Frank at Seattle Children’s Theater. I prepped the kids with the basics of the storyline: World War II, Holocaust, Nazis, Jews. They were concerned. It felt like a very heavy topic (and it is!). We had dinner on the ferry, as usual, andContinue reading “Diary of Anne Frank”
Green Mountain Hike
Over spring break I decided to take JT and Haley on a hike. We invited their friends Sawyer and Jozie and made a whole afternoon out of it. We had so much fun! It was five miles of great attitudes and having fun getting dirty. This is the view to the west… And this isContinue reading “Green Mountain Hike”
Birthday Weekend
Birthday weekend started on Friday, when I got to take my time getting ready for the day while my family scurried about getting ready for school and making my breakfast. Jim made his famous overnight French toast! We also had bacon and a berry bowl, and he made me my over-medium eggs and hot waterContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
FlipGrid in LA
Last week, I filled in for one of our trainers and flew to LA to help with a FlipGrid training. I’ve had the chance to use FlipGrid with JT’s class at school, and I have a pod and a shirt… so it felt like a good opportunity to log some training hours! Plus, it’s myContinue reading “FlipGrid in LA”
Basketbowling
The end of one season of basketball is upon us. We closed up SKYAA winter league with Coach Gary (an amazing experience and one we hope to repeat) with a team bowling party! But basketball continues… all three boys (JT, Sawyer, and Ryder) are signed up for spring basketball on not one but TWO teams!Continue reading “Basketbowling”
Bike the Bridge
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”
