​Tor went to the 2A State Boys Basketball championship games at the Yakima Sundome to cheer on the RA Long High School team, traveling with teammate Cole and his family. They hung out with a lot of their other basketball teammates:


It didn’t end as they hoped (RAL lost by 2 to Bremerton to take 2nd), but they had fun:

Tor is 13!

​Tor is now a teenager! We now have three teenagers in our family. The thing Tor has been looking forward to the most about 13 is sitting in the front passenger seat of the car.

Top Flite Gamer Varsity

​Tor received a new set of junior golf clubs for his 13th birthday - Top Flite Gamer Varsity, 8 club set.


His old Wilson kid set was 6 years old and far too short, so it was time for something to get him to high school. He took it to the Mint Valley driving range to swing all of the clubs. He hit them far and straight, so he’s happy with them.


California Birthday

​Part of Jillian’s 18th birthday was spent in California with her Cowlitz 18-1 Black volleyball team while they competed in the No Dinx/NCVA Sierra National Qualifier. They went out to Rise Woodfire Pizza for dinner after the first day of play, and the coaches got her cupcakes arranged in an “18” to celebrate:



Of course, they all sang “Happy Birthday” to her. Mom said the pizza and cupcakes were delicious!
