December 2022

 December included some of my favorite things--friends, family, and watching my kids do what they love!

Basketball is in full swing!  I sure do enjoy coaching Reeve, but it definitely adds some grey hairs to my head.  We don't win a lot, but we are working hard to keep getting better and better.  Grateful for family coming to cheer us on.

 

Team dance Christmas party.  One of the reasons you were very interested in team dance was because of all the fun they get to have.  You have definitely enjoyed it so far:)

Enjoyed a small gathering at my house over break. We made puppy chow with chocolate complete and enjoyed each other's company:)

A couple birthday parties this month-my dear friend's 40th birthday and my niece Liv turned 5:)

Christmas choir concert for Reeve!  They did awesome:)

Family photos turned out great!

Wrestling ended with a 3rd place medal and a lot of excitement of what the future might hold.  He is loving it and we did enjoy watching him!  Proud parents for sure.

Mike and I did a shred before the holidays and it felt so good!  Love doing life with him:)

Holiday fun with Joden!  Dress up day at school and we went on a date to Miracle on 34th Street.  It was a good show and I sure enjoyed spending time with Joden!

Sunday funday as a family!  Husker game and dinner:)

Juice Plus ugly sweater party!  We had a good time:)

Dinner/gift exchange with our dear friends!  We had a great time:)

Christmas Eve with the Schumacher side!

Reeve sang at church and it sure filled my heart with lots of joy!

Having school breaks with my kids is irreplaceable and I am so grateful I get to do so!

30th surprise birthday for my brother in law!

And happy new year!!  We had a blast celebrating with the Monsons and Halpines:)

November 2022

November's post is going to be short and sweet because life is crazy right now and that is about all I have time for:)

Two birthdays were celebrated!  Natalie, our niece, turned 18 and Kiki, our dear friend, turned 40.  We enjoyed helping them both embark on milestone birthdays!

Reeve had a dance convention in North Platte.  We went with the Koch girls.  We had fun, but North Platte definitely does not have a lot for us adults to do.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving at my sisters!  The kids are growing up.

Reeve has started basketball season!  I coach her Unlimited team and I sure do love coaching these girls, but we definitely always have room for growth.  The picture on the right was an intramural deal they did for sixth graders.  It was fun to watch her and not coach her. 

Got to go on a work trip to Atlanta, GA and enjoyed spending time with these two ladies!  I enjoyed Atlanta, or at least the area we saw:). Grateful for the opportunity to go!

Got our tree up!  The boys were having way to much fun:)

Joden has embarked on a new journey, which is wrestling!  We had no clue what to expect but it has gone pretty well.  It always amazes me how willing he is to try new things that he has never done before.  He has done pretty good, but we know he has a lot to learn too.  Excited to see what the future holds for him!

October 2022

 October was a beautiful month!  The weather has been amazing.  We also had lots of fun with friends and family!

I somehow was convinced to run in Market to Market again.  It went better this time, but I still struggled on my last leg.  My legs were just dead!  This group of ladies makes it worth it:)

My family was able to see me finish my last leg, which was definitely motivation to keep going!

Reeve was in the Harvest of Harmony parade for dance.  It was a gorgeous morning and we enjoyed getting to see her!

It was so fun to watch these boys in football this year!  They have come a long ways and picked up some wins this season, which was awesome.

Enjoyed a workout at Heather's with my niece and sister too:)

October date night sure was fun!  Anytime you get to see the Huskers, it's a good time.  Love dating my husband:)

Reeve became really close with a para at her former elementary school.  She also coached her at gymnastics and would give her a ride every week.  She asked Reeve to say the dinner prayer at her wedding.  Reeve did a great job and we enjoyed helping them celebrate their special day!

Mike got us a membership to the Liederkranz during the putt tour, so we decided to check it out with the Borowski's.  

Dinner group at our house in October was Halloween themed.  We dressed up in costumes and made Halloween food.  It was a fun time!

Date with Reeve in October was a trip to Kearney for a UNK volleyball game and some sushi.  We had a good time:)

It's time for basketball.  Here is our new team this year and we have some new jerseys.  We are super excited for the season!  I sure do love coaching these girls:)

Happy 3rd birthday to Blair.  We got to help her celebrate!

First middle school dance!  Reeve wanted to have friends over to get ready and eat dinner.  These girls had a blast and got along great.  I am glad we were able to do this!

Dinner group girls were able to sneak away to Omaha to see our dear friend Kelly.  We had a blast!  We sure do miss getting to see Kelly more often in GI.  Can't wait to do this again!

We ended the month hitting up a few houses in our neighborhood with the kids.  Our neighbors were excited to see us and could not believe how big the kids are getting!
