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”
Utah Ski Trip 2019
I’m just going to go ahead and add the year to the title of this post because we are so sure that we are going back. 🙂 Over the years, Jim and I have done a ski weekend away for President’s Day. Two years ago we took the kids to Mission Ridge and started theirContinue reading “Utah Ski Trip 2019”
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 was super excited that I had a reason to go this year! I left Monday, landed Tuesday, and returned FridayContinue reading “BETT UK 2019”
Leavenworth Weekend 2019
Our seventh annual roomie reunion in the snow happened in Leavenworth this year. It’s always over MLK Jr weekend – and we had ONE house this year for all 29 people! We split up the meals as usual, and Jim was in charge of the first breakfast. The men took charge this year and gaveContinue reading “Leavenworth Weekend 2019”
Greta Van Fleet
Jim bought us tickets to see Greta Van Fleet months ago, and we tried to go in November. But then one musician was sick that night and they postponed the show until January. So, even though it was a weeknight and Jim was on very little sleep from a very busy week at work, weContinue reading “Greta Van Fleet”
More Skiing
It was absolutely gorgeous weather for our Ski Saturday last weekend! Annnnd… it was packed. It was the most crowded we’ve ever seen, and we overheard at lunchtime that there were 9000 people on the mountain. Apparently everyone else decided to ski too! JT and Jim had a fun adventure when JT asked to goContinue reading “More Skiing”
