2020 Blue Jeans Week 8

Still lots of basketball going on here.  We have 2 weeks left.  It is a bittersweet thing as it is my last basketball player and her senior year, so we are trying to enjoy it.  Lots of good stuff this week.  Take a look at our week...

Sunday evening reading--Ben reading a new book out loud to us all.  One of my favorite things!

Mr J rocked it again at his Forensics meet this week!  First place!  Woohoo!

This girl doesn't always get to play, but she sure loves the game!  Love her coach and the other girls on the team too!

Sure proud of this basketball player!

#2 basketball game for the week.  Miss E sinking her free throws!  

And Friday night Ben read to us again.  Perfect evening curled up with a good book!

Miss E and Mr J working on a school project together which is fun to see.  

Hope you have a great week!

2020 Blue Jeans Week 7

Busy, busy week.  Two basketball games with one being the last home game and to honor the seniors.  Senior moments galore this week and exciting college news.  Take a look at our week....

Ben reaches over Miss E to taste the cookie dough as she rolls out Valentine's sugar cookies Sunday afternoon.  Sugar cookies are our tradition on Halloween and Valentine's day.

Basketball game #1 for the week.  Mr J rockin' with the pep band at the game. 

Decorating and eating the Valentine's sugar cookies is always a favorite activity!

Miss E helping me make cookies for a library fundraiser.  These Andes mint cookies are a favorite!

Super cold day, so we built a fire tonight and enjoyed playing a new board game together.   

Last home game and senior night.  The 5 seniors getting ready to be announced as the starters for tonight's game.  These girls have played together since middle school.  Lots of good memories! 

And Miss E got super exciting news on Saturday as she received her acceptance letter to BYU!  #byubound

Our traditional Valentine's dinner this year.  My dad was out of town, so we enjoyed having my mom join us.

My new recipe to try for the month of February was creme brulee.  We had it for our Valentine's dessert.  Yummy!  Using the kitchen torch was extra fun!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you had a good week!

2020 Blue Jeans Week 6

Better late than never.....running a little behind this week getting pictures posted from last week.  It was a good week.  Lots of basketball and other fun things.  Take a look....

Some dear friends invited us over for a Candlemas dinner which was really fun.  We have never celebrated that before. 

And my favorite photo from the Superbowl win with Coach Andy Reid fist bumping Steve Young and saying "How about those Cougs?"  Oh yeah!  Go Cougs!  Love it!

Basketball means pep band for Mr J.  He and the other saxophones rockin' it at one of the two games last week.

Miss E and these other amazing young ladies presented at a state wide career tech ed conference this past week on their internships.  It was pretty awesome.  They did a great job!

Ben and one of his employees celebrating Red day at work!

And this young man rocked his forensics meet by getting first again in the poetry division!  Go Mr J!

Homecoming and the girls varsity team with their amazing coach.  Miss E's last homecoming.  More senior lasts.....so proud of her!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have a great week!

2020 Blue Jeans Week 5

Lots of basketball this week, but not exactly the kind you might think, we had donkey basketball that Ben participated in as a fundraiser for the schools.  So much fun!  Lots of normal basketball too.  Take a look at our week...

My date one night this week to Miss E's basketball game

Happy Kansas Day!  We celebrated with our traditional sunflower cake.  Yummy!

Ben's donkey basketball team!  They got #1!  Woohoo!  If you ever have a chance to go to a donkey basketball game, don't miss it!

Ben on his donkey.  The ball they used was much smaller than a normal basketball.  You could only pass the ball or shoot the ball if you were on your donkey.  You could get off your donkey to pick up a dropped ball or whatever, but you had to keep a hold of the reins.  Pretty fun!

Ben in the middle of one of the donkey basketball games.  Too much fun! 

And my date for another basketball game this week. Sure love this guy.  He was happy to be watching instead of playing this time :) 

Hope you had a great week!  Thanks for visiting!
