October 2024

 October was so fun! Lots of friend and family time with some adventure thrown in the mix.

The boys drew their elk tags this year so they went on a week long elk hunt in Wyoming.  It was 20 degrees warmer than usual so it was basically a bust.  

Why not hunt again once you get back??  It appears Mike has some sort of a sweaty issue!

Decided to have a moving sale.  Heather and Karisa joined in on the fun.  It was decent, but not amazing.  The weather was beautiful though, so at least that was a win!  

Reeve and Kendall hung out with us!

As Mike traveled back from hunting I went to South Dakota to help Lisa celebrate her 40th.  We had a little bit a tire issue on the way there, but we made it.  We enjoyed a night downtown Deadwood, which was honestly pretty chill.  Then we hung out at the house all day Saturday and enjoyed the Husker game and some good food.  Finally, we ran the marathon relay on Sunday.  We did great and the weather was amazing!  Cheers to 40 Lisa:)

Reeve is always taking sunrise and sunset pictures on my phone. And selfies  :)

Mike and Quinine snuggles:)

We sure enjoyed cheering on Ellie!

Fun with Liv while the boys were hunting!

The final stretch of volleyball.  We ended 8-2.  Way to go girls!

Celebrated the end of fall sports with dinner at Texas Roadhouse and the Borowski's!

Homecoming 2024 for Joden!

Love when family can make it to Joden's tennis matches when we cannot be there.  He had a pretty decent year for never playing prior.  He got to be an alternate for state, so he basically got to go spend three days having fun in Lincoln.  The team placed, which was the first time since 2012.  Way to go!  Excited to see what next year brings.

October is always a fun time to do the team builder where we make Halloween costumes out of newspaper.  The kids are always so creative.  It is definitely one of my favorites.  

Well October 2024 is the beginning of a new and crazy journey.  We broke ground on our property.  Dirt work is being done and we hope to have a home in about a year from now.  The blueprint of what it looks like is below.

We got to help Blair celebrate her 5th birthday:)

I enjoyed taking four seniors to an Educators Rising conference.  We had a great time:)

We ended the month carving some pumpkins at the Borowski's!  

September 2024

 Lots of volleyball and tennis this month with some family fun sprinkled in!

Tennis has been a new adventure this year and we are enjoying it!  Joden has improved so much:). He recently even got second at a JV meet.  So proud of his bravery and for trying something new.  I am loving it way more than football!  

Also, Karisa made it to a match to cheer him on!

Scones are so good!  Love capturing the artwork of food.

Fun with cousin Piper!

Of course Mike got some strange infection in his eye.  They said he has a cataract and will need surgery in 5-6 years.  This was the first antibiotic our family has needed in a very long time!

Love this girl and our relationship!  She loves pictures of the sky and chats with her mom.  I sure hope we live close to each other forever!

The last year of middle school volleyball is cruising along.  So fun to play against a summer basketball teammate.  We are 5-2, should be 6-1, ha:). Either way, they are doing pretty good!

Quick 24 hour getaway with my book club friends.  We went to Ashland, NE and stayed at a glamping site.  We had a blast!

One morning on the way to work the sky was so neat!  

Was walking in the hall at GISH one day and saw my guy on this student shout out!  

And can''t get this to flip, but I am definitely loving the curls this year!  

Cousins!

Reeve was able to make it to two of her great friends' volleyball game! 

Husker volleyball game with mom!

Youth choir at church!  Everyone did awesome!

Dove hunting with family Labor Day weekend and hunting on their elk hunt trip.
