June 2025

 June was full of sports, which we love doing.  We were busy, but got to make time to see family and friends.  Summer just goes way too fast!

Snagged this photo one night and I couldn't love it more.  House is coming along!  Lots of work, but grateful for the summer off to make some decisions and get projects done.

Joden went to wrestling camp for a week, so this was the first night he was back and we had baseball!

Joden has loved working VBS!  He has done so for many years.  Eva comes with her mom to sing, so she found an old picture and compared it with a current one this year:)

Reeve helped out also!

Reeve played lots of basketball in June.  We had such a great group of girls this year!  I enjoyed getting to know the families:)

Farmer's Market one weekend when we were in Lincoln for basketball.  We got to stay at the Ankeny's house and bring Piper with us to shop.

Aunt Lisa, Uncle Dan, and Liv do such a great job of coming to watch the kids play sports!  

Reeve will occasionally go on walks with me.  Love our time together and the conversations we have!

Reeve and I try to swim with the girls once per week.  We love it!

Happy Father's Day!

Cheers to 18 years of marriage!  Love Mike so much and fall in love with him more with every season of life:)

Friday Night Lights again this summer.  He went 1-1 again.

Soaking in all the time I get with this guy.  It is running out and I can't believe it!

Family dinners at our temporary home!  Had to capture the memory:)

May 2025

 So much going on every May, but also so much to be grateful for!

Joden went to his first USA State Greco/Freestyle competition and he did awesome.  He qualified for Fargo, but won't go due to baseball.

Joden got to go to Finn's birthday party.  They played paintball.

The house is coming along!

Date night!  

Reeve chose aerial yoga for her birthday party!  The girls had a great time.

Went to watch our nieces play soccer.  This was Quinn's idea of playing soccer:)

End of the year activities with my students.  My seniors presented their Capstone projects and my juniors taught each other direct instruction lessons.

Night out to celebrate Kati!

Husker baseball game turned out to be a great memory.  Joden got a home run ball hit by Hogan Heligso.  His dad came out and asked for the ball because he has had a tough year hitting.  He paid Joden $100 for it and then offered for him to snag a photo with Hogan afterwards! 

We were able to eat with family afterwards!  Ankenys did join us for the game!

Mother's Day!

Grad party fun with a student of mine!  This is Ingrid:)

We got to take Quinn to soccer one night!

End of the year Ed Rising party at the new bowling alley.

Dress up days for teachers.  This was dress up like a student day!

Tried to fill the time with my newcomers in fun ways to finish out the school year.  Halimo and I drew each other:)

Last days of school snapshots.  Below are some Westridge girls that Reeve had classes with this year.  Then the kids and I on the last day of school.

Joden made USave.  It was weird because it is a seniors team, but I guess at least he made a team.

My official last day!

Checking on the house and wishing it was further along:)

Coffee date!

First basketball tournament weekend!
