Kittitas Middle School Basketball Coaching

A photo with the A-team after our last game of the fall season.
With B and C teams included, we had 27 players in all.  I believe a good time was had by all.

Christmas Lights at Leavenworth

We drove about an hour on a Thursday night after school to beat the crowds
with Grandma.  None of us had ever seen the Christmas decor before.

Maggie and Renee Made a Gingerbread House

This kids and their cousins helped decorate

Clara 5th Grade Basketball


 Her team ranged from 5th to 8th grade.  As one of the younger players, this was her first time playing on a team.


She had great coaches and good season.  They were nearly undefeated, winning their age group!


Visiting Grandpa

Josiah and I drove over to Seattle to see grandpa on Friday.  

His new place at Crista Ministries is quite nice!  

His apartment is roomy and clean.


It has a chapel, Bible studies, a pastor, and Sunday services.


It has a couple pets for the kids to look at.


He even got a little school credit for making a card for someone in a nursing home, and 'smiling at everyone you pass'.  

Snowy Christmas Tree Trip

We joined our friends on a trip to the mountains of Manastash Road to retrieve our Christmas tree.

It was like a sleigh ride with a purpose, and with 4 wheel drive instead of four hoof horse power.


After we got it back home and most of the snow knocked and thawed off, we started decorating.


Folks provided ornaments.  Then later a box of lights arrived from the same friends who helped us get the tree.  Thank you Hudsons, Merry Christmas!
