Sami turned 7 on August 19th! We had a PJ late-over party with some friends a few days before. They made party bags that they filled with fun pampering items, had a dance party, played sleepover games, got foot massages and facials, and played. Sami loved it! On her actual birthday she went to school and her one request was that I bring her Raising Cane's for lunch- which ...
Subway hike, Beau’s b-day, school starts
Beau went to Centennial's volleyball camp with friends. Those boys were quite the comedic relief there but they also had a blast and did good. For Haley's birthday we got permits to hike the Subway in Zion. I was excited to explore Zion but we knew it wouldn't be an easy hike. We stayed at the cutest place in a cute little Bungalow. The hike was incredible, beatiful, ...
Nashville
While Kayli was at FSY, Beau had a hockey tournament in Nashville so just him and I went (along with Erin and Bennett). We had quite the adventure trying to get into our hotel rooms the night we got there (and it was after midnight). On the flight there we found out that Beau and I did not actually have a reservation. We were able to get a room for the next few nights but not ...
Lake Tahoe, Summer, Utah Trip
As soon as school ended we headed to Lake Tahoe for a fun vacation/hockey tournament. We had the best time exploring, hanging out with our friends, and Beau's team won the championship! On the way up we stopped in some old towns... We also stopped in Carson City... Lake Tahoe was incredible! It was so beautiful... Exploring and playing around the ...
May and End of School
Kenny went to New Orleans for work... We went to show our support at the City Council meeting in hopes they would approve the temple being built close by us, which they did! Mother's Day... The boys' football seasons ended and both teams were undefeated and won the championships for their age groups. They both had touchdowns and lots of flag pulls. It was so fun ...
Spring ’24
Sami went on her first elementary school field trip and I got to chaperone! We saw a play at the Smith Center and she rode a school bus for the first time! Sami and Trey's Field Day! Take-Your-Kid-To-Work Day was so much fun because I got to take a kid to work! I subbed that day and the school allowed subs to bring kids so Kayli went with me which she has been begging ...
Spring Break – San Fran Trip
We met the Poulsens up in St. George and toured the new Red Cliffs temple. It was beautiful! We did the candy store and played with Rudy. We also did Parade of Homes. Kayli was there with her young women's group so we didn't have her with us. Kayli's young women trip was pretty fun! Her leaders are awesome and always plan fun outings! They did the temple open house and ...
January/February
January and February have been slow for us! We've had some Saturdays at home and the only sports we're involved with right now are Beau's hockey and volleyball and Kayli's volleyball. Of course there are school things, piano lessons, Activity Days, Young Men's and Young Women's activities... but for us this is chill! Spring sports will start up next month and then we'll be back ...
Christmas 2023
Christmas Camp with Taylor and Grandma... Kayli got to be a helper this year. The kids look forward to this every year! Their favorite part is when the Mad Hatter (Taylor) shows up! Gingerbread houses and funny games with friends... We celebrated Christmas on the 23rd with the Eliasons while Taylor and Addison were in town. Taylor had lots of games for the kids to ...
December
Eliason family reunion... Pancakes and Pajamas at the school. Mom took Sami and Trey to that since I was at a volleyball tournament and Kenny was a training with Elder Anderson. Trey sang in the choir and I was glad that mom got to hear him since she'll miss his choir concert when she has knee surgery. Kayli's team won the second volleyball tournament! Ward ...
