2020 Blue Jeans Week 44

We had a great week.  After worrying if we would have a cross country season, we made it through the whole thing and made it to state!  Season is now over, and it was a great one!  Made our traditional Halloween sugar cookies.  My college girls got to attend a football game, masked and socially distanced, but in person and it was fun!  Got the engagement pictures back, but will share those in another post as there are too many and they deserve their own post.  It was a good week.  Take a look....

Mr J helping me make our traditional Halloween sugar cookies.  We make these on Halloween and Valentine's.  Love sugar cookies!

And then everyone's favorite part is decorating and of course, eating them!

We had some cold weather last week!  Enjoyed a hike all bundled up with the pretty fall leaves!

We got snow this week!!!!  We never, ever get snow this early.  Never!  We will usually have our first snow beginning of December, but never before Halloween!  Crazy!

My college girls got to attend a football game!  They were excited!  Masks and socially distanced, but it was still a fun game to be at in person!! 

Mr J had two days off school this week because of parent teacher conferences, so we went up to the city to do some shopping and get out of town.  I made him drive all the way up there and around.  It was a good experience for this small town kid!  He wasn't so sure about all that driving before we started....

Donated blood this week. Always glad when I am able to do that!

State cross country!!!!  It had warmed up a little from earlier in the week when we had snow.  It was windy and 50 when he ran in the morning.  He did so much better than last year at state!  He has improved so much and excited to see what next year holds!  The end to a great cross country season!

After running his state race, sure proud of this kid!  Fun to cheer him on!

After the race, we were in a part of the state we normally don't get to, and we looked up some hikes in the area and went exploring.  This went on top of that ridge behind Ben and Mr J and all along it.  This was in the Flint Hills area and was just so beautiful!  So fun to explore the beauties of the earth that our Heavenly Father has given us!

Happy Halloween!   We got our pumpkins done!  No trick-or-treaters, but we rarely get any out where we live.  

Looks pretty good all aglow!!!! 

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are staying safe and healthy!

  1. Wow! You guys got cold quick and with snow! I can't imagine--still high 80's here but maybe rain this weekend. Love the cookies and pumpkins. Can't wait to see the engagement pictures. So excited for her. Also way cool your girls got to go to a football game--what's college without that, right?
