A leprechaun came to our house on St. Patrick's Day! The kids made a really creative trap but we didn't catch him. Kayli was relieved because she didn't want to actually catch a leprechaun! Kenny turned 35! We had a fun birthday celebration with friends downtown. We met at Kenny's office and went to a fun restaurant that he likes down there and then played Slam Ball ...
Valentine’s Day/ Sami is 6 Months
I can't believe it's the end of February already. We've had fun and kept busy the past 2 months but it's also been a lot of just surviving. We've had sickness/injuries/sleepless nights/difficult mornings but we're making it! We went to Red Rock Canyon on MLK Day and hiked. The kids were super troopers! We just kept going because they were doing awesome. It was fun to be out ...
Christmas Break
We had a fun NeONBRAND Christmas party! Kenny and Kurt have some fun employees and so I like when I get to hang out with them too. The kids had school all the way up until December 22. We did lots before school was out, though, and throughout the month of December. Kenny, Kayli, and Beau went with some of Kenny's family to see Star Wars. Kenny introduced the kids to Star ...
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Kayli’s 7th Birthday, Christmastime
We've been busy and have done lots of fun things for the holidays! On Nevada Day, since the kids were out of school, we headed to Staheli Farms in St. George with my family. It was a great time! We went to the farm and did the games and hung out in the morning, then went into downtown St. George and went to the candy store, rode the carousel, got pizza for dad's birthday ...
Sam at 2 months
We carried on our tradition of going to a haunted house with Cahills and McCormicks. Chase LOVES it and it's so funny because the rest of us don't care that much but he gets so excited and plans it every year. It's always fun to hang together though and it makes for some funny memories! School pictures! It was so fun to have Jen, Madi, and Jaelyn in town from ...
Samantha Kaye Eliason
Sam (or Sami as most people are calling her now) was born on Saturday, August 19th at 9:09 p.m. She was 7 lbs. 5 oz. That morning Kenny and I decided to do a few sealings at the temple. After that we grabbed the kids and went to baseball practice. I walked around the grocery store with Trey and got groceries for the week just in case Sam decided to come soon. That's probably ...
Beau’s Birthday and the 1st Day of School
We had a fun friend outing to Gravady. We are so lucky to have such a big group of friends. We took the Jackson kids with us while Jen packed her house to move to Colorado-which we are all so sad about. Her kids were the sweetest to my kids. Beau loved playing with Cole even though he is 4 years older than him and Kayli and Madi were good friends. Livi played with Beau and ...
Summer!
Erin, Haley, and I were given a Staycation for Mother's Day so we cashed in on that. We stayed at the J.W. Marriott and were gone for about 24 hours. We invited lots of girlfriends to come hang out and ended up going to dinner with some of them. We have such a good group of friends! We ate at Cheesecake Factory and then roamed around Target. We stayed up way too late chatting ...
Mother’s Day/Graduations/Beach Trip and More
The boys love going to Fathers and Sons and had really been looking forward to it. Trey even got to go this year! They also took Kenny's dad with them and dad's pop-up trailer. Trey had a hard time going to sleep with all the freedom of not being in a crib but they had a good time! Kayli and me went to Hobby Lobby and Panera Bread and then Pop with some of the moms and girls ...
Spring Break and Easter
For Spring Break we took a trip to Utah. It'd been 7 months since we'd seen my Varney family and mom and dad were going up that week and Kenny had some work stuff to do in Provo so we made a fun trip out of it. The kids were so excited! They love going to see all of the family up there. They couldn't even stand the long car ride because they were so excited! We stopped at ...
