2017 6-8th Grade Volleyball Champs, WCCC

Holly's team won the WCCC volleyball championship for 6-8th graders on Saturday. When they arrived they were told they were 2nd place to another undefeated team. One of the girls on the team had talked to the other team and knew that had lost at least one game. Holly's team had also lost one game. So they should have been tied. Also somehow through a scheduling mess up these two teams had never played one another.

SO they took this information to Daylemarie Eves and she went and checked her records. She confirmed that the two teams were in fact tied and arranged for the girls to have an additional game Saturday between them and the other team.

They had 2 sets already scheduled and now would need to do a third set. The additional games were scheduled in between their other sets. So they played at 11:20 - and won two games very quickly to win the set. Then they played the 1st place team. They lost the first game then won the second game in an extra point game. Both games were very close. The third game was only to 10 and whoever won would be the champs (as long as the girls won their third set afterward). The game was close all the way to the end. Our team missed their serve. Their team missed their serve to give us the win.

The girls were pretty exhausted but when on to play another set and quickly won two games. Pretty exciting day and ending to Holly's career playing at the WCCC. Next year she has to play on the school team or she's done!

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them. Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough). SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary. The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides. We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more. Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas). The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66. Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!! What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
