January 2023

 January often seems like a long month, but it was a good one!

Date with dad to the movie:)

Makeup choir concert that had gotten cancelled due to weather.  

Got to cheer on our niece Delayna:)

Dance showcase!

Dance makeup is intense!

Food is one of my love languages and I love making tasty meals that are healthy!

Joden got to go to GISH for choir to do a clinic with the high schoolers!  It is surreal to think he will start high school next year.

Love finding fun activities to do with my students:)

From wrestling to hunting!

Basketball in Lincoln so we met family for some beers!

Deer weekend for the guys so got to hang out with my sister in laws!

We are making some gains this season!  Proud of these girls.  We have picked up some medals this year and it feels sooooooo good:)

My kids would have sleepovers almost every night I feel like...this one with Ellie involved a fort:)

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!
