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”
Getting Summer Started
We are off to a great start! The kids got kayaks from Grandpa and Grandma Cole as early birthday gifts while I was in San Antonio. They were so excited and they got to test them out right away! When I got back, the weather was beautiful and we had a nice picnic lunch atContinue reading “Getting Summer Started”
Ending Baseball
Haley’s season ended with a couple of games and a party, as usual. We were in the same location as last year because a family on our team lives in a neighborhood with beach access in Olalla. It was a sunny day and we had so much fun on the beach. Haley thinks her coachContinue reading “Ending Baseball”
Haley’s PPL
Haley had her PPL this week! (Reference on PPLs – JT already did his.) Her topic was flowers. That is a broad topic so we had to work on narrowing it down to several questions she wanted answered about flowers. She started by explaining that we planted lots of bulbs last fall, and they grewContinue reading “Haley’s PPL”
Haley’s Mini Olympics
Haley had her year-end gymnastics event called the Mini Olympics over the weekend. She got a chance to show her progress on all four apparatuses and go up to the podium to receive a medal and certificate. She had all four grandparents, both parents, and an aunt and uncle in the stands cheering for herContinue reading “Haley’s Mini Olympics”
Finally, sunshine!
We have waited a long, long time for decent weather here in the PNW. We were thrilled to get out the slip-and-slide the other day, and we ended up having an impromptu fish taco dinner in our neighbor’s backyard!
Empathy Heros and Terrific Kids
Last Friday, Haley and the other kindergarteners performed at the school assembly. They were empathy super heroes. It was pretty cute! Haley had a speaking role as Narrator #4. We recorded the entire assembly because Jim was travelling for work and missed the show. He watched it with Haley over the weekend. I’m only publishingContinue reading “Empathy Heros and Terrific Kids”
Basically Baseball
We basically have three days off from baseball a week: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. On Wednesday, we get caught up on homework and housework. On Fridays, we get to have a little fun. Last week we went to a craft night at the kids’ school. They made jewelry boxes for mother’s day, which was really fun.Continue reading “Basically Baseball”
Spring Planting
With warmer days final upon us, we enjoyed our weekend with baseball, time outside with friends, and planting our garden! I trimmed the faltering daffodils down and brought home 32 strawberry starts. We also grounded four tomato starts (three grape, one heirloom). We added some sunflowers in the very back row for good measure! ThenContinue reading “Spring Planting”
