Ellensburg

We made a quick trip to Ellensburg to visit Grandma Pam over Spring Break. 

The kids very much enjoyed playing with her cats! Poor Elizabeth though. She loves the cats but even with outside cats ended up with an eczema flair and itchy eyes and runny nose. 

Uncle Brian and the cousins were there too! 

It was quite chilly and rained on and off so we didn't spend much time outside. Luckily, Grandma Pam has a large covered front deck so the kids played with the cats there. 

Elizabeth had to give a lot of piggy back rides. It wore her out!

Clay Lewis Invite @ Hanford

Nathan ran his first race of the year at Hanford at the Clay Lewis invite. He took it easy on his knee so it was his slowed time of the year. He ran the 3200 in 11:56. 

 

Springtime!

Trees are blossoming in the Tri Cities! 

 

Tennis vs Kamiakin

I had so much fun watching Elizabeth's tennis matches this year! We had another nice day for this one vs Kamiakin. Not cold or windy! They played to 6. Our team won 6-2!

Happy with a win! 

 

Tennis @ Richland

Elizabeth had her first ever high school JV tennis match! It was very exciting. They played Richland at Richland. It was a beautiful March day! That is not often said. They won! They played to 4. Our team won 4-2.

Lineups-they line up in order by rank and then meet the doubles team they will play.

Track @ Chiawana

The first track meet of Nathan's junior year did not go as planned. He injured his knee the second week of practice and it was problematic. He signed up to run the 3200 but had to scratch. He did throw the discus. I was not at the meet since he wasn't running, so these are the only pictures I have. He kept his teammates company during warmups!
