Dynamite Season Finale ~



Jordyn played the last two volleyball games of the season last night. Warning, mom bragging moment coming up... She scored 22 points in a row from her serves in the first game (they play to 25) :) hahahaha And then she scored another 16 points in the second game for her serves (not in a row this time), but what a season finale she had! Naturally we went to Verns after the game to celebrate :) Way to go kiddo!!! Sorry no photos...too caught up in the moment to take any :)

DEER!!!

You're not gonna believe this...I just hit another deer!!!! Thankfully I was able to slow down enough to not ruin the car, windshield or the deer, but within one week!?! Good Grief! We just had the windshield replaced on Friday! DOH! This time there were three of them I had to dodge!  It was like Frogger!  Meanwhile, here is a photo of the traffic jam I had to deal with this morning. I passed big horn sheep, turkeys and a bald eagle! So life in the mountains is still awesome!

Give Next ~

Jordyn enjoyed a field trip with her NJHS group this week.  They went to CSU to meet with Give Next to decide which organization they wanted to donate their funds to.  Its a fun event where they have lunch and socialize with the groups.  I stole this photo from the school website...what a great group of girls!

Raccoons and Volleyball ~

 This little furball has visited us the last couple of nights.  He is super sweet and shy, but seems to like us.  If you talk to him, he will follow you and see what you are up too.  Kitten does not care for him, but he keeps his distance from the cats (or I should say, the kitten chases him off...Kato doesn't seem to care).  We have discovered that he loves bread.  Today he was favoring his paw, I hope he heals quickly.  Anyways, it's always fun to have a visitor!
 Meanwhile,  Jordyn brought home her volleyball team pics.  She's looking so grown up!  Jordyn's volleyball team only has 2 more game days left! While I have enjoyed her games and watching her play, it will be nice not having to drive all the way to town every day and get home earlier in the evenings!  We get home so late there isn't much time to do anything...so I'm looking forward to some cozy time at home with the family!  Go Pirates!!!

Honda vs. Deer ~

 So this happened to me on my way to work this morning....Honda vs. Deer.  I'm not sure if the deer made it, but when I went home to change cars and headed back to work she wasn't there anymore, so not sure if she stumbled off somewhere else to die or if she indeed survived. I'm hoping for the later. The good news...I'm fine and there was no passenger in my car to get glass shards thrown at their face, and also, only a small dent to the body above the tire, so the car is still in good working condition. The photos aren't the best because it was getting dark out when we finally got home, but you get the idea. It was interesting driving home with the windshield like this though. 
 15 years living in the mountains this was bound to happen eventually I guess.  I'm happy to check it off my list though! 


Meanwhile Jordyn had another game tonight, this time at Webber MS.  They played two dynamite games and lost by one point the first game and crushed them in the second game.  Grandpa Bear came out to see her play again, but alas, Justin had to miss the game since he was stuck at home with little red all busted up. 


We also ran into Jordyn's original school Principal from Red Feather, Mr. Kind!  I think he was excited to see all the mountain school kids on the volleyball team, even if we did beat his team! hahahah  Such a great guy, it was wonderful to see him!  We stopped at Dairy Queen for a treat on the way home with Jordyn's friend Willow.  Turned out to be a lovely day after all :)

Volleyball and Verns ~

 Jordyn had another volleyball game tonight and they won both games!  It was awesome!  But what was even better...Christy came out to see her play for both of those wins!

 We decided to celebrate the victories by going to Vern's, of course!  Christy joined us for dinner and then we all headed home!  Thanks for coming out to see her Christy...she loves it when you come to her games!  Go Pirates!
