Week in Review January 17- 23

Our Neice Keagan celebrated her 2nd birthday this week! Happy Birthday little girl! You are growing up so big!


I am still continuing to sell Scentsy Wickless Candles and enjoy all the people I meet through that. I now have three people signed up under me. The extra money I earned over the holidays was great! Monday night I helped Rachael get started with her Scentsy business at her kick-off party. Wednesday I had a party in Omaha and drove home in a few inches of snow. I am loving my 4-wheel drive Escape I have now since I traded in the daycare van!



I am still working in a 3rd grade classroom while the teacher is out on recovery from a surgery. I have 2 more weeks of full days and then a week of 1/2 days following that. I have been there since two weeks before Christmas. It is nice to know where I am going to be each day, and expecially nice that it is so close to home!

Matt still has practice each night after school and gets home around 7 if there is not a dual. This time of year/ weather also keeps his busy with the Glenwood Volunteer Fire Dept.

Friday night Gram and I took Brock and the Bales' boys to a hotel in Council Bluffs. Brock loves spending time with his cousins and loves to swim! The four boys were in the pool from 5-9:30! The only time they got out was to eat some pizza by the pool!



Brock is pretty proud of his underwater handstand he can do now. He is second from left!


Isaac was excited to get his own bed and made gram and I sleep together. The 3 youngest boys were excited to make beds on the floor!

Saturday Brock attended an open gym party at the YMCA for a Kindergarten buddy. Matt was in Sioux City for a wrestling tournament. The snow started coming down and we were supposed to get 3-6 inches by the next day at noon. Our cousin Kaycee was hanging out with us waiting for the team to get back when we got a phone call from Matt that they had been in an accident on the way home.

The bus was hit head on by a car. Luckily, everyone was fine. The bus went up over the top of the car and landed on top of it. Matt quickly jumped out to help the girl in the car. The car was totaled and the bus not drivable. It took forever for the police/ rescue to release everyone and then they had to wait for the Glenwood superintendent and transportation director to come to get the team and bring them home. Matt said it was very scary and he can't believe that they girl driving the car was not injured. What a night! Thanks to God for keeping everyone involved safe that night!


Brock celebrated his 100th day of school on Friday. This next week for show and tell he has to bring in a collection of 100 things. He decided on 100 legos. He worked in his room this morning to come up with 10 groups of 10.


With all the snow we received last night we had to do a little more sledding this afternoon. The cold temperatures didn't keep us out long however.




Enjoy this last week of January!

A Week in Review January 10-16

The snow started coming in on Sunday night. Monday was Brock's first snow day. We tried to teach him how to watch the news and hope that you see your school listed. We told him that he had to start cheering if we found out it was a snow day and told him of all the fun things that were in store for snow days.

We did a little sledding in our front yard and played with the neighbor kids for a while. One of Brock's favorite parts was that he got to wear his pajamas all day!




Brock and Emma


Tuesday and Wednesday were both 2 hour late starts due to the cold temperatures. That really made for a short week!
Wednesday Amber went to her MOPS group meeting. This is my last year in MOPS and I am going to miss it! It is so fun to get together with the friends I have made through the past 5 years.
Thursday night was senior night at the last home dual of the season. Unfortunately, Glenwood lost to LC and Underwood that evening.


Friday morning I took a half of a day off from substituting and we headed to KS to watch a 2 day tournament. We had one of the wrestling moms and her 1st grade son ride and stay with us so the trip was lots of fun! Brock loves having someone to play with! Glenwood placed 8th out of 32 teams. Glenwood also had the 2nd highest # of falls in the tournament! Go Rams! Check out Glenwood Sports for more wrestling photos and info.



One of the best parts of going to stay in the hotel was swimming in the pool!

Hayden and Brock having fun in the hotel room!


Brock loves to hang out with the "boys"


Our cousins Josh and A.J. that both wrestle for Matt this year.
