Last year, we spent one weekend a month camping at Crystal Mountain, which we love to do. This year, we’ve been a little busy (ha) and haven’t made it up there until this weekend. The kids love playing in the snow after the ski day is done. We also went on a “snow walk” toContinue reading “Finally, a weekend at Crystal!”

That’s a Wrap: Winter Break 2020
I told someone the other day that this was likely the best winter break I’ve had in a long time. I felt like it had a nice balance of time at home with nothing scheduled, outings and fun activities, family events, and friends. Sometimes we get to the end of break and wonder what justContinue reading “That’s a Wrap: Winter Break 2020”
Happy New Year 2020
We spent New Year’s Eve doing a few fun things we love… first, we took the kids to see Rise of Skywalker with the Drew family (well, three of the six children in the Drew family, and their parents). Then we headed home to get some things done, and ended up at the Drew houseContinue reading “Happy New Year 2020”
Sports Weekend
We spent four straight days out of the house at sporting events. We are tired! Friday last week, we went to Haley’s gymnastics meet in Kent. She did an awesome job and took 5th in her division! Then we spent two days at basketball in Buckley. Jim is the team’s assistant coach now, and heContinue reading “Sports 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”
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”
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”
January Ski Weekend
We spent four whole days at Crystal Mountain last week! First, the kids and I went (and took my nephew Preston with us) over winter break. It was a gorgeous day, hardly anyone was on the mountain, the snow was great, and the kids were positively ripping! What a great view on the way upContinue reading “January Ski Weekend”
Ski Saturdays
We are back in action for Keene family Ski Saturdays! We love getting up bright and early and heading to the mountains. Surprisingly, even after a long week at school and work, we are all up and out of the house cheerfully before 7 AM to hit the slopes by nine. The kids just loveContinue reading “Ski Saturdays”
