Trey turned 7! We celebrated by going to Red Robin and skating at Crystal Palace. I love his 7 year-old toothless smile! The boys had a sleepover at Grandma's with Uncle Taylor! Then the girls got a sleepover! I turned 37! We enjoyed lots of days of swimming this summer! We also had Gravady passes so we spent a lot of time there with friends! We went ...
End of School and Summer!
In some ways we were sad to see the end of the school year come (Kayli finishing elementary school, Sami finishing preschool) but in other ways it was nice to be done. Our kids still faced some COVID restrictions (like Kayli and Beau had to eat lunch in their classrooms all year) and we were ready to be done with school and hopefully start next school year completely normal! ...
February-May
This is a long one! It's getting harder and harder to keep up on this because life is busier which means I have more to write about and less time to do it! For mom's 60th Birthday we pulled off a surprise trip! We went to St. George for the weekend. The best part was that we got some of her family to come. She was surprised when we all showed up to dinner with her and dad ...
2022
Covid was still passing through our family at New Years time so we had our own little New Years Eve party. We all felt fine and did puzzles, played games, and ate treats and some of us didn't even make it to midnight. We missed Taylor most the time he was here for Christmas because we were sick so we went to see him when we were all better right before he left town. It's ...
Holidays
Stuck in my room with COVID seems like the perfect time to catch up on my blog... yep I caught Covid 3 days before Christmas. So far nobody else in the family has it. We had to cancel all Christmas plans with both sides of our family. We were sick over Thanksgiving break too so it felt like we got behind on all the Christmas things but luckily we fit a lot in the past few ...
Boston, Girls’ Trips, October
It's a long one... Sami started preschool! She was so excited to go with Audra and her cousin, Jake, and now she is friends with everyone else in her class too. She loves going! And I enjoy my 6 kid-free hours each week! I went to Salt Lake for the weekend with Haley and Erin for Marlee Allred's homecoming. It seemed like the perfect time to get away for a quick girl's ...
Summer/Birthdays/Back to School
Trey turned 6! We had so much fun celebrating him. The kids love to go with dad to pick out donuts in the morning of their birthday so of course he wanted to do that. He loved opening presents. He got a lego gift card for his birthday so we went to the Lego Store too. The kids had so much fun looking around and Trey loved picking out his lego sets. Then we went to Rainforest ...
Fam Pics/Last Day of School/San Diego/4th of July
Family pictures! Mandy is the best. We sure love her and all the special pictures we have because of her! Although we were anxious to get this school year over with and hopefully have a normal start in the fall, we were also so sad to see this school year come to an end. The kids didn't get enough time at school. Beau and Bennett ended up in the same class but since the ...
Carolinas/In-Person School/Easter
Beau finished his Flag Football league. Him and Bennett were the little guys on the team but they did awesome! It's so fun to watch him play sports. Every game was cold and windy. And check out the sizes of some of the kids they played against! They did so good though. St. Patrick's Day Fun... Kenny tuned 38! We went to Outback with Cahills and McCormicks and then ...
Snow in Vegas, Utah trip, Back to School!
Kenny closed one office and opened two others. It was bittersweet for him. They didn't want to close the office but due to COVID they didn't really have an option with that building anymore. He was sad to leave downtown after working down there for the past almost 20 years! His new offices are much closer to home though so I love it. It snowed in Vegas and since kids were ...
