Western JV Basketball Team!

Western got out at noon yesterday for teacher in-service and Jamie invited the basketball team over for dinner and down time before their game last night!! They wanted a few pictures so thought I'd share them with you all as well!! Great group of girls - they enjoy each others company lots and are having an amazing year - so far no losses - last night they won 92-19 against Cherokee!

Today they play at Heelan in Sioux City - and Sioux City Heelan is having a big fun raiser for Breast Cancer - they invited us to join in - so it's a PINK OUT and having a big supper and silent auction as well - both schools ordered t-shirts with both our logos on them - so will be a very fun afternoon - two of these girls have the pink out shirts on - Jamie and I ordered some as well and will be wearing ours tonight too - you can't tell but on the basketball is the wolfpack sign and also the heelan crusaders sign - very neat idea and also a great cause!!

Marcus had an awesome break!

First of all - Mom I thought you would love this picture - every year we usually make puzzles during the winter - this winter has been so nice that we haven't but all of a sudden last week Sunday Jamie pulled out a puzzle and everyone jumped on board and started helping - we are now on our second one - Fun times!!

Guess someone was hiding the last piece again :) They get along so well - Jamie is gonna miss him again (yes I am too) when he goes back and yes that will be tomorrow morning.



Patrick and Marcus set around 20 traps out over the break and were very successful with coons and coyote - here is their caught before they left for the furrer last week. Mike had a great time with this as well - when the boys were both gone one weekend - he got to check them.



Then Marcus also shot a deer with his bow and arrow - We haven't had deer meat in the freezer for a few years and Marcus jumped on that plan to try and get one - this is the first animal he shot with his bow and he was excited and Jamie is also thrilled - her favorite meal is scalloped potatoes with deer sausage. Marcus also worked at VIP (Valley Industrial Powder Coating) over the break everyday till 3 - so he also made some money. Now it is back to the books for awhile!!
