Ted Lasso

We have started the second season of Ted Lasso. It’s the only activity we are really doing as a family consistently right now  (not counting family dinners). I love that the boys want to be watching this with us va. time on their phone, video games, etc. It’s a little reminder of the extra family time we got due to the pandemic. 

Speaking of time together, Marshall and I were blessed with D-man home M-W this week due to him being under the weather. His Covid test came back negative (thankfully), but he was really knocked down for a couple of days. By Wednesday he was feeling better, but had still had a fever and chills on Tuesday so was still home. D-man and I enjoyed breakfast and lunch on the back porch on Wednesday - WFH benefit! I soaked it all in. 

PINK!

T-man got his cast today. Well, he got two…. She cut off the first one because it was going to aggravate his thumb so the process took longer than expected. But, we departed with a cast which he will have on for 4 weeks. Love this kid! 

Adult Homecoming

Our friend through a party on Saturday because “the kids can’t have all the fun.” She talked about dressing up so I went all in. I had two former bridesmaid dresses and while I could get into both of them still, I went with the one that fit a bit better (almost 16 years later!). 

It was a bit ridiculous, but it was fun dressing up and it was a beautiful night to be sitting around the fire with friends. LizAnn also got some pictures of Marshall and me which are fun. 

Posing….

Final HOCO

After much consternation and many changes, the seniors finally figured out their plan for HOCO. Fortunately, the plan to take pictures in Denver fell through and Marshall and I were able to be there for pictures after a few pictures with T-man and his friends. 

After pictures, they headed to Hacienda Colorado for dinner and were able to make it back in time for the dance. D-man said the student council did a great job on the dance and it was the best one they have had. (The principal is hoping to host future homecoming dances on the football field every year now). Happy they were able to hold the event and the beautiful weather made for a great night.

Frosh MOHI Homecoming

Monarch High School had a gorgeous day for the 2021 homecoming festivities. With this being the only time the boys will have homecoming together, it was nice to have them both at home getting ready. The dance was held on the football field with a dance floor, lights, bubbles under the tents. 

T-man met friends for pictures at the golf course and went to dinner at the golf course before heading to the dance to meet up with his date and her group. He was not happy about wearing “long sleeves,” but he looked very handsome and had a fun time.

Saturday Sports

It’s been awhile since we have had a Saturday sporting event. While it has been a luxury to have our weekends free and not to have to rush around, we were happy to be have a lacrosse game to attend in south Denver. Our opponent was not good so the defense did not see much action, but D-man communicated that playing this week solidified that lax is his favorite sport. ❤️

Glad to be on the sideline again 

Friday Night Lights

Since moving to Louisville, we have not been to a home Mohi football game. I had been thinking about going and then some friends asked if we wanted to go. We went out for dinner and then to the homecoming football game. It was fun to have dinner downtown, take T-man and his friend to the game and cheer on Mohi. There were several friends at the game - definitely a community feel to the game and good to chat with folks we hadn’t seen in awhile. Unfortunately, the Coyotes could not come away with the victory, but it was a nice fall night to be at the game. Also, fun to see the student section so engaged and having so much fun. 

Ready for the white out (and gotta wear the gold hat for the Coyote Pack)

Peavy Freshman Tradition

Apparently, if you are a freshman in the Peavy household, you break your arm. T-man went over the handlebars on his bike yesterday and had a sore side and wrist. It was still hurting this morning so Marshall took him to the pediatrician. They recommended and X-ray and called back this afternoon that he had a fracture. Bummer! Ultimate Frisbee is done for the season. He’ll get a cast on it next week.

Adulting

I met a coworker for the first time in person on Wednesday night for happy hour in the Highlands. 

So much energy and lots of people enjoying the time out and about. 

Great place for drinks outside with a view of downtown

HOCO Spirit

It’s been fun to see D-man embracing the homecoming spirit this week. T-man was not into it (neither was D-man as a Freshman).

Quick Trip

Mom and Dad arrived on Friday for a quick trip. The boys had busy weekends so there was a lot of coming and going, but we didn’t have any games to watch or attend. We had drinks on the back patio and we managed to squeeze in one game of pitch on Friday night before our sushi arrived. 

We busied ourselves with watching Nebraska lose and a trip to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Mom and I also made a quick trip to Kohl’s and we enjoyed a delicious meal on the back patio under the lights. T-man also asked his friend to Homecoming and hung with her on Saturday afternoon. 

On Sunday, we enjoyed some of the goodies from the farmer’s market for breakfast and Mom and Dad enjoyed the lattes I made. We were able to enjoy breakfast out on the back porch as it was so pleasant out today. T-man joined Mom, Dad and me on a picnic lunch at Eldorado State Park. After Mom recovered from the drive up the canyon, we found a great spot for our picnic lunch. We walked around a bit before heading home and chilling out for the rest of the day. 

Marshall slaved away in the kitchen all afternoon and we had another yummy meal outside. It was a bit more rushed as both boys had YMSL meetings and D-man had to ask his GF to homecoming. I was fortunate to tag along as we went right after the YMSL meeting together. I sat at the car while he asked her and I just soaked it all in - just happy to be there and happy they have a homecoming to go to together. 

D-man surprised us and hung up the Nebraska flag - made my day!
