We can’t believe it’s been a whole decade since this strong, intelligent young lady entered our lives. We started the day with Haley’s birthday breakfast request: monkey bread and some other sides. Then we had some time for gifts since Jim was leaving for work. He had already given Haley her main gift earlier inContinue reading “Haley turns 10”

JT Turns 12
We can’t believe JT is 12! We started with breakfast – cinnamon rolls were his choice. He also got gifts from his family and lots of hugs and smooches. Later that day, we took some photos of the birthday boy with his favorite ladies. And hosted a group of sixth grade boys for capture theContinue reading “JT Turns 12”
Haley Turns 9
We were so excited for Haley to turn nine! We started with a family birthday dinner a couple of days early. Haley is now 4 foot 3.5 inches, making her 38th percentile, which is exactly where she was last year! She has dropped in weight and BMI, but her muscular gymnastics body is the reasonContinue reading “Haley Turns 9”
JT turns 11
JT turned 11! We started with a party with friends, Friday night at Ocean 5, for laser tag and arcade games. We hosted a family brunch on Saturday with JT’s choices: Jim’s French toast, sausages, and fruit. He got some awesome gifts and noticed that this year he received “no toys, only tools.” I guessContinue reading “JT turns 11”
Jim Turns 40
We had a wonderful time celebrating Jim’s 40th birthday! First, we spent time in the boat – as usual. The weather was warm and we enjoyed lunch and skiing with the kids. Then we held a family party on June 2. We were supposed to have dinner out after a basketball tournament, but plans changedContinue reading “Jim Turns 40”
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”
Grandma Hall’s 90th Birthday
We had the pleasure of heading to Portland this past weekend for Grandma Hall’s 90th birthday party. We also had the honor of escorting the birthday girl from her house to the party venue! The kids and I were backseat buddies, and I snagged this cute picture of my two favorite kiddos on the wayContinue reading “Grandma Hall’s 90th Birthday”
Point Ruston
We decided to celebrate Grandma Keene’s birthday at Point Ruston, and the weather was phenomenal for an evening dinner on the waterfront! We had dinner at a great burger and whiskey place and then walked around for a bit. We ended the evening at Ice Cream Social, the best ice cream shop in Tacoma withContinue reading “Point Ruston”
Haley’s Birthday
What a good time we had celebrating Haley turning eight! Her birthday this year came in phases… starting with a family birthday party over a week in advance. Haley wanted to make sure Uncle Jeff, Aunt Gena, and Ali had a chance to attend before they left to take Ali to college in California, soContinue reading “Haley’s Birthday”
Jim’s Birthday Surprise
Every year for his birthday, Jim asks for the same thing: skiing and floating. With his wife. 🙂 And anyone else who wants to come. So this year his birthday fell on a Monday (which he has off, and so can I) and we didn’t have baseball over the weekend. I booked a surprise tripContinue reading “Jim’s Birthday Surprise”
