You Need Friends

The Yokom Kids officially lost every electronic they own yesterday as a punishment.

In low times, it is great to know that you have friends to maintain your streaks.

Homecoming Football Game

Let the good news keep rolling

Brynn announced to Jayne and Mom that she had been nominated for student of the week.  We were impressed in words, hoots and actions to which Brynn replied, “And let the good news keep rolling, my language arts teacher keyed my grade in wrong so I was moved from a D to a C today!”

Coronation

Caleb got all snazzy in the “free” suit provided by the school (only 75$ to have it fitted) for the Homecoming Coronation

         

  

 

  

 

A beautiful night…memories made!

2020…

The school chosen “risk committee” (with zero medical experts on it) announced today that all 5 kids will be moving from hybrid learning to distance learning on 10/5 with a less than 0.5% positivity rate in our schools.  Sigh!

Naturally, Brynn and I attended “Parents against distance learning” at the Fargo Public School’s District Office

Our voices have yet to be heard, so we have memes to get us through…

The Court

So fun for Caleb to be nominated to the homecoming court!

Court backyard pool and yard game party!

Yay Spartans!

Looks Like Fall

Rumor on the street is that canned pumpkin is a shortage.  Both Gramma and Mom bought up like crazy pumpkin ladies in case the rumor is true! 

We also decorated pumpkins to go with our pumpkin bars that clearly were in the oven!

It’s About the Journey

Sonja is all about an outing.  Onnolee, Jayne, Brynn and Mom were happy to get the invite to explore Fort Ransom with her!

  

North Dakota is stereotyped for being flat, treeless, and nothing but wide open fields. The people who think those things would be proven entirely wrong at this one spot in the state. Not only does it have North Dakota’s one-and-only, beautiful waterfall, but it’s also hidden in a state forest.

  

The waterfall is more like a water trickle, but the company was grand and we officially coined the experience as…

Until the next outing…

Year of…

The traditional gift for a 20th wedding anniversary is china, but not for us,

Caribou coffee and harassing Caleb via text from our dinner date is more our style.  Don’t worry, Jerry had a gift card for the dinner date!

                 

Cheers to 20 years! 

Jerry says he would ask mom again; Mom says she would say “yes” again. 

Senior Pics

Caleb did not think he needed senior pictures.  His fan club is glad he obliged.

Snuck in some family pictures at the same time.  Boom!
