November

 November was filled with lots to be thankful for!

Our high school team made it to state volleyball!  We did not come out on top, but it was a good game and a great experience.

I was an adult sponsor for Reeve's youth group overnight deal in Columbus.  It was a long day, but glad I could be there to help out!  She had a great time.

Time to cut the hair off!  Feels so good and many people have told me they like it:)

We headed off to Colorado for Thanksgiving!  We had a great time, but had to leave right away Friday due to Joden having wrestling practice.  Grateful for the time we did have together!

Once back in GI, we were able to meet up with Lindsey and Nick for a bit.  We checked out a new speakeasy in GI.  It was really cool in there!

Lots of basketball for Reeve this month!  In Columbus we decided to have some fun and go out for dinner.  So proud of Reeve.  Her team was 7-3.  It was a pretty good season:)

We took our Unlimited group to a Husker women's game!  It was a great game.  We played Creighton, who is ranked, and only lost by 5.  

Reeve's team got a picture with some of the guys' team!

God's creation is amazing!

I got to take some of my students to an Educators Rising conference at UNK.  It was a great day!

Desert for dinner group!  It was delicious:)

Decorated for Christmas:)

Mike enjoying what he loves most with the kids!

Joden is still in orchestra, which we love.  He has to wear a tuxedo for concerts this year!  He looks so handsome here:)

This crazy month ended with an opportunity for me to attend a conference for work in Phoenix.  It was great and our travel was smooth!

October '23

 October was a fun one!  

Reeve's last volleyball game was at Cedar Hollow and she had some extra fans cheering her on! 

 Market to Market for my third time.  This time I did not have to run three legs, just two.  I felt like it went well, but my legs still hurt.  Not sure if I am running next year or not yet:)

Sundays in October we had basketball clinics.  It was great to keep repping those skills!

Dates with all three of my favorites!  Shoe shopping and dinner with Reeve, Farmer's Market with my man and Sam's Club, and driving for the first time with Joden.  He really did pretty good:). Very grateful for time with my three favorite people!

Fun with friends!  Dinner group was dress like your kid or your parent.  It was super fun!  Then I got to spend a day in Lincoln with these three.  It was a beautiful day and a good time had by all:)

Loved all the fall vibes this year!

The GISH girls made it to state:)

Enjoyed the musical with these two!  It was so good and we had a great time:)

Middle school basketball is here!

Their pumpkins!  They were making the face of the pumpkin-ha:)

September

 What a fun, yet busy month!  Lots of sports and time with friends and family.  Definitely two of my favorite things😍

We had a blast celebrating Mike's 40th in the Dominican Republic.  We asked lots of family and friends to join us, but only Dan and Lisa could make it.  We of course missed everyone, but also loved our small group! It was such a great trip and we are forever grateful for the memories we got to make together.

Babes and Balls was a blast! Love sharing about Juice Plus and showing other mamas ideas for healthy swaps!

Football season for Joden!  64 boys out so not a ton of playing time, but he sure enjoyed it and we love being there to support him!

Reeve's bestie at all of her brothers activities:)

It was lots of fun watching Reeve embark on her first school sport this fall. She was the starting setter and did a fairly good job.  Just need to get those sets higher.  My favorite part was your hustle!  Looking forward to watching you in the years to come.

We got to cheer on our niece!  She did great;)

24 hour getaway with friends!  We had a great time.

Husker volleyball and an impromptu happy hour with Jace and her crew!

Farmer's market with Reeve!

Tatum snuggles!

Celebrating Rachel's 40th with Junkstock and some fun in Omaha!

I love all that my students get to do!  They are so fun and I love that I get to teach them:)

October means it is time for basketball already!
