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”

Halloween 2018
We hosted our annual pizza party before trick-or-treating for our neighborhood crew! (I was working in Seattle that week but, because my boss is awesome, she offered to meet up in West Seattle for the morning. So I ferried over, worked at Starbucks for a few hours, had a yummy Mediterranean lunch, and ferried homeContinue reading “Halloween 2018”
Back to School 2018
It’s that time of year! The kids are back in school, pumpkins are at the stores, and the smell of fall is in the air. We went out for ice cream the day before school started, just to put the final nail in summer. And then the lunch packing begins! 180 times a year… BothContinue reading “Back to School 2018”
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”
Northwest Trek
JT’s class had another awesome field trip! They’ve actually had four this year, but I’ve only chaperoned two. It was a gorgeous day for outside adventures, and I always get the best group of well behaved boys who are in JT’s friend group at school. They all posed and then asked me to take aContinue reading “Northwest Trek”
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!”
Marine Science Research Field Trip
JT’s class had quite possibly the best field trip I’ve ever been on this week. I’m so glad I got to go (only a few parents were able to attend)! We took a bus to the ferry, walked on, and ended up on the Seattle waterfront. I had these six lovely children in my groupContinue reading “Marine Science Research Field Trip”
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”
