November 2024

 So much to be thankful for this month!  It seems like all the months are fast anymore--maybe due to the age of our children.  I always try to remind myself to not get caught up in the stress of it all, but to pause and thank God for all of our blessings!

Deer camp with dad!  No deer were killed, but some great memories were made.



Joden and his buddies surprised Jarid for his 16th birthday!  They had a great time and Jarid had no clue. 

Took our kids to tailgate for the first time!  We had a great time and even saw a bar fight. That was not in the original plan, but it was a great experience to show our kids what not to do! 


GISH girls made it to the final four and lost that game.  They so could have made it to the championship game!  Either way, we got to go watch two games.  It was a great way to experience state volleyball and hopefully make them hungry to try to get there one day.  

Some education students and I went to UNK to attend an Educators Rising conference.  We had a great time and the students were well behaved.


Joden got to join us for Reeve's game in Columbus.  We always try to go out to eat once a season.  We had a great time!  

Took the nice camera to capture a few action shots!



Reeve's fan club.  Blair made a special sign for her!

More school snapshots.  My juniors finished up our partnership with Knickrehm.  We had so much fun connecting with the 5th graders:)


We had some guys speakers for the juniors who spoke all about special education.


Sophomores presented lessons and did such a great job!  I have been so proud of them:)


Date night!  Always make time to squeeze in a date night:)

Reeve and Eleanor did a duet at church and did an awesome job!  I love their friendship and their singing skills:)

Our house is officially underway! Praying we will be in it in a year from now-ahhhhhhh.  Crazy to think!

Braces are officially off!  So glad we are all done with braces.

Orchestra concert for Joden.  It might be his last.  He is not wanting to continue, so we will see.  They sound so great!

Joden clinched the varsity spot at wrestle offs.  We will see how it goes.  I hope he can hang with the varsity athletes! We are so proud of him.

Thanksgiving break!  We enjoyed time with family, relaxing on the couch, good food, puppy snuggles, shopping, and hitting up the Coop on a whim.
