Bengal Night of Inclusion

We had a chance to head up to Pocatello to participate in a Hoop Camp, "Night of Inclusion" at Idaho State University.  Our special needs athletes were introduced with the starting lineup with the team, got to participate in the time-out contests, and played a 10 minute game during half-time.  Events like this mean the world to our friends, seeing their smiles fills me with joy! 

And caught up with Erin, Scott
and the kids at Applebees.

Sweet 16!

We've got another driver in the house, this pretty girl turned 16!  Alyssa is amazing!  She is all about Minecraft You Tubers these days, head over hills for Karl Jacobs!  Volleyball and school take up most of her time, but she is totally looking forward to driving and working.  

She loved her DREAM cake!

I love that smile!

Ben put together a fun treasure hunt.

We hit up an arcade

and found a smiley rock

Rock On Lyss!

A second birthday cake with her dad

Lots of love from friends!

A photo shoot with Holly 

And a pedicure.  
I think she had a pretty good birthday!

It's official!

Bring On 2022!

The last week of 2021 Alyssa was with Marlee in Idaho, Holly was with her dad, Ayz, Tiago and Reyn were in Cali with their mom, and Ben, Q and I were in Washington.

I was sick all week, we were pretty much snowed in, and Grandpa Willy fell and broke his ankle.  So, we played lots of games, watched some football, Ben and Q kept the fire going, and we visited the Nike Clearance Store.  It wasn't the most exciting end to 2021.  

Q did some hooky bobbing

And decorated a gingerbread house.

Then shot off some weak streamers at midnight.
