2021 Blue Jeans Week 42

Busy week last week.  Birthdays, last cross country race, and life in general.  It was a good week.  Take a look...

Our Sunday game was my favorite Silver and Gold, and we made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  Yum!

Walking on the trails this week with my mom.  Fun to do that with her!

It was my dad's birthday this week.  I made him a banana cream pie for his birthday cake.

I early voted today!  Be sure and get out and vote for the elections on Nov 2!  It may just be local elections, but they are so important!

Cake I made this week for Ben's birthday.  He wanted a pineapple upside down cake.

And a happy birthday to this amazing guy!

Date night this week was a bike ride through town on the lighted paved trails.  Nice to have that option to ride at night in town.

Last cross country race of the season.  This was Mr J's pre-race team prayer.  Love that they do this.  Great group of boys!  They had a good season! Proud of Mr J and all of them!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are healthy and happy and safe!  Have a good week!

 

2021 Blue Jeans Week 41

We had a good week.  Went to lunch with some friends, had a great cross country meet, date night and our college kids got together.  Take a look at our week....

GLO--love these two and grateful we could enjoy a beautiful GLO outside today!

Another lunch date with an older friend :) Sure love her!

Ben and the young men decided they were going to make ties.  Some women from our congregation who actually know how to sew came to help them.  Excited to see what they look like!

Cross country race for the week.  These boys did awesome!  League champions!!!  Woohoo!  Proud of Mr J!

Parade this weekend!  Love seeing Mr J in the marching band.  They sounded good!

Date night this week was a live, in-person concert that was amazing!  Sure love being with this guy!

Picture from my college kids.  They got together this weekend for dinner and a game night. Love seeing this!  Love and miss them!  Excited to see them at Christmas!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are safe and healthy and happy where you are! Have a great week!

2021 Blue Jeans Week 40

We had a good week.  No cross country race this week, girls did some hiking and got together, and I love to see that.  Last home football game.  Take a look at our week...

Miss O and Miss E climbed a huge mountain this week!  17 miles and 8 hours of hiking, and they are awesome!

Our recycling piles in the garage.  So grateful our community now does all different kinds of recycling!

Ben making his wonderful aebelskivers for breakfast one day this week.  They are a round Danish pancake that Ben's dad made for him growing up.  Yummy!  I love them with nutella and sliced bananas!

These fun kids got together this week and made pumpkin scones.  Impressive!  Missing Mr A who had to work.

Mr J working hard as he does each evening to get his homework done!

Love these girls!  Love they make the effort to get together for lunch every week!  Makes my heart happy!

Beginning to look more fall-ish on the walking trails.  This week I saw this bright yellow and black feather on the trail.  Not sure what kind of a bird it is from, but so pretty!

Date night this week involved ordering a pizza and having a picnic outside before heading to a football game.  Sure love this guy and our weekly dates!

Last home football game of the season which means last band halftime performance of the season.  The band and Mr J did a great job this year!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you and yours are healthy and happy and safe!  Have a great week!

Hello!  A little late again posting this week.  Seems like the days just slip by!  We are good.  It has been a good week.  Still looking for consistent fall-like temps!  Great cross country race for Mr J this week and another race for Miss O.  Take a look at our week.... 

Sunday game night...one of my favorite things.  We played King Domino tonight and Mr J made us pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  Yum!

Miss O and her boyfriend did a 10 K race--in the rain!  They are pretty amazing!

Made another cake this week.  This was for a party at Ben's work.  It is a golden Oreo cake.  Yummy!

Mr J's cross country race for the week.  He did a great job!  Loving his season this year!!

Homecoming week, and we always have a school parade.  Mr J marching in the band during the parade.  Love our small town parades!

Friday night lights and the band playing at half-time.  Another one of my favorite things!
