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”

Last Baseball Tournament 2018
What a season for Renegades 9U – and for JT! We finished the year with a three-day tournament in Federal Way. It was hot, hot, hot, and dusty. The boys played Friday night, twice on Saturday, and twice on Sunday to take second place in the silver bracket. Jim does the GameChanger app during theContinue reading “Last Baseball Tournament 2018”
Baseball Barbecue
We had such a fun time at the Father’s Day barbecue that JT’s baseball team got together for. His coach lives on the lake and invited all the families after our games on Sunday – and the weather cooperated. It was 85 degrees and gorgeous all day long. So after two great games (in whichContinue reading “Baseball Barbecue”
Lake Pleasant
We spent another overnight in the camper at Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell as JT had a tournament in Meadowdale over the weekend. What a lovely spot! On Sunday, the weather turned rainy (surprise to everyone) and we got soaked with that fine misty rain that never ends here in the PNW. Fortunately, weContinue reading “Lake Pleasant”
Camping + Baseball
We spent last weekend camping and watching baseball, and it was just lovely. It was Mother’s Day weekend, and we reserved a spot at an RV Park about 15 minutes from the ball field. We drove down Friday evening and were able to get up and have a pancake breakfast before getting JT to theContinue reading “Camping + Baseball”
Silver Champions!
We had such a great time at the USSSA Red, White, & Blue tournament in Lacey this past weekend. The whole weekend was beautiful blue skies (albeit windy and not super warm). There is a Dutch Bros coffee stand near the field… yay. 🙂 JT and his team won the silver bracket and were invitedContinue reading “Silver Champions!”
9U Baseball Tournament #1
JT had his first baseball tournament on March 31 – just a one-day with four teams. The night before when we set out all his gear, we realized that we hadn’t bought new cleats for this year. #parentfail So off we went to Big5 at 8:30 PM for cleats that fit (last year’s did NOTContinue reading “9U Baseball Tournament #1”
Staining the Sport Court
Ever since we had the sport court poured earlier this year, Jim has been so excited to get it stained and lined. He took the whole weekend to do all the steps and we were thankful for great weather so he could finish this up before the rain settles in. Step 1: Pressure wash onContinue reading “Staining the Sport Court”
July 3
Jim bought tickets to the Rainiers baseball game on July 3rd for him, his dad, and JT for his dad’s Father’s Day gift. They had an awesome time in the sunshine watching the Rainiers hit home runs and win, and the after-game fireworks show was really well done. Meanwhile, Haley said she wanted to spendContinue reading “July 3”
Summer Sports
We’ve never had summer sports in the Keene family, except water skiing. This year is different. Haley was invited to participate in a small group of gymnasts who are working toward level 3. She will be attending class twice a week this summer instead of her usual once per week. (She also got a newContinue reading “Summer Sports”
