On Monday I got to go watch Rylee in another volleyball match, this time I took some pictures. I liked watching her lead her team in warmups and then giving advice and encouragement, she is pretty awesome!
Rylee once again had amazing serves and it was fun watching her hitting that ball over and over across the net. Rylee's team is mostly 7th graders who have not played before and so they are not the best but they try and every time they play they are getting better. It is great that Rylee is able to help lead her team and give them tips that she has learned from being a second year player.
On Tuesday Ryker, Avynlea and Rylee finally got to go to school to attend class. We are in the yellow now so they are able to go to school every other day with the off days being remote learning at home. Because they are team 2 this week they will be in school Tuesday and Thursday and the next week will be in school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As long as we are in the yellow they will alternate days. We did more official back to school pictures and it is a little different of a scene because I have our Fall decorations out on the porch when normally it would still be summer. The kids had a great day back at school finally after 6 months of being home and I had one of the most blissful days I have had in a long time. I was able to tidy the house and have it stay that way all day, I got caught up on laundry and bills, I was able to read for a bit and I just enjoyed the silence. I love being with my kids but at this point we all need the break that comes with going back to school.
In Rexburg Kenedy started school but her classes are also on a weird hybrid of a schedule. Because the classes are so big they have to alternate remote and in school between different groupings, whatever we can do to make it work and keep life moving along I guess. On the day that Kenedy finally got to go in person she took her back to school pictures and sent them to me. Yay for tradition and yay for being back in school!
Ryker had a good job the last month of summer working full time for Home Guard where they go and do mold and disaster cleanup. He made really good money but once he started school he had to quit because he couldn't work full time anymore. He wanted an after school job and got one working around the corner at Panda Express. He was hired as a cook and dishwasher I believe. He is happy about it and eager to earn more money for his bank account.
Avynlea hs gotten more comfortable doing tumbling on the trampoline and has been running out there at odd times throughout the day to throw her back hand spring and try other different tricks. She sent me a picture of one of those times and I think it is a pretty cool picture.
Friday was another Varsity game this time we played Mountain View. Mountain View is one of our rival schools and we have not won a game against them since 2007 so we were not expecting anything to be different this time around. Because of bad air quality the game was pushed back to start at 8:00, there was a chance the game could have been cancelled because of the bad air so I am glad it was just pushed back. Before the game I took some pictures of Avynlea and her friends. They wore the JV uniforms again but a halftime were allowed to put their Cheer sweatshirts on because it was pretty cold.

This was such a fun game to be at, Warriors beat the Mavericks 42-26!! It was so exciting and not something most of us expected! Max Gwilliam a sophomore in our Ward got three interceptions during this game, he was on fire and it was so fun to watch! Avynlea loved cheering at this game and helping cheer her team on to Victory. We are now 3-0, Go Warriors!
