September....All the Activities!

I don't love that when I post a month at a time the pictures aren't in chronological order... Oh well, here is the recap of September 2022.  Ansley went to FSM retreat at New Life Ranch.  It is a weekend of growing closer to Jesus and the people he puts in her life.  She had a great weekend.   Tennis season came to an end.  What a great season it was.  Mia and Heidi didn't lose a match and they had special puppy audience for one home match.  Let's just say Millie and Sugar could be the BHS Team Mascots.  Good luck to Varsity as they have conference and state ending in October.  The big event was BHS homecoming.  The week starts with spirit days, then the football game on Friday, Dance on Sat.   The best plans don't always work out.  Ansley had a great group:  They did pictures, dinner at Shogun, and then some went to the dance others went shopping and then they all went to Fast Lanes to bowl.   Mia's group was 40+ kids with not a lot of communication (the joy of letting 15 year olds plan).  It all worked out for the best when her Heidi and her group snagged her away for a night of fun.  They met a pictures, went to Maribella's Table for dinner, Top Golf, and they to Heidi's for a sleepover.   I am so thankful for fantastic friends that are inclusive.   Dad, Kim and Mollie Sue visited!  AND.... Millie and Sugar went to Camp BowWow!  They need to figure out how to like other dogs and people besides us!   The pictures of them laying out in my car, is what they were like when I picked them up.  They were with lots of other dogs for 3 hours.   They were spent.   I think they were trying to tell me...."Mom, maybe we aren't camp dogs, we like our luxury life at home!"  Lastly, we went to Rogers Homecoming to see Ella get crowned Queen.   It was so great to connect with friends and to be part of this special moment!   I know Em is watching over her from heaven and is so proud of her girl.  She is a beautiful girl inside and out!

August 2022 Highlights

August is coming to an end.  Time continues to fly.  I started my 27th year of teaching, Ansley started her Junior year and Mia her Sophomore year.  Mia is full in on her 2nd year of tennis at. BHS, we had a major back yard renovation.  Ansley and I made a quick trip to Minonk, we had 4 days of reconnecting and fun.  We got to meet Mollie Sue, G.pa and Kim's new puppy (Millie and Sugar's sister).  It's always fun seeing Yeti and Maple.  We visited a new coffee shop in m Minonk and saw the St Jude run.  Scott and Mia went to a Dirks Bentley concert.  My classroom got set up all ready for this year's students. Then last weekend we listened to the Morgan Wallen concert from the parking lot.  SOLD OUT concert in less than an hour.  Mia was happy to breathe the same air as him.  It was fun watching her LOVE every song.   It's always a little bitter sweet when Summer comes to an end.  Praying for the best school year for our girls.  Soaking up every second of them growing up!
