The Golden Knights are back and we love it! I couldn't help but snap pics of the ceremony before the first game where they presented the Knights with the Stanley Cup Champs banner at T-Mobile Arena where they play... it's just so cool to me! We currently have 5 sports teams between the 4 kids. Sami is playing soccer and I coach her team. Trey is playing flag football and ...

July 2024
We didn't do a ton on the 4th of July. It was so hot we didn't want to do any parades. Kenny took the kids swimming and then we hung out on our street. Jessica and Andrew have put on a good fireworks show for years and so we always look forward to doing our block party and fireworks every year now. Kelli and the kids came to town so we spent the next couple of days playing ...

Our Vegas Golden Knights hockey team won the Stanley Cup! We were soooo excited! We love this team so much and had been watching a lot of hockey during all the playoffs.

There have ...
End of School Year/Beginning of Summer
May might be busier than December! All the sports and activities are still happening along with all of the end-of-the-year school activities. I had a good Mother's Day.

The youth in the ward had another hard hike in preparation for ...
April/May
Kayli went to Universal Studios for her 6th grade field trip. She had the best time! They left at 2:00 in the morning one night and got home at midnight the next night. She was a tired girl after that! It was fun getting texts and pictures from her all day. The day she got home was our youth temple trek. They walked 15 miles across Las Vegas to the temple. Kayli was soooo ...

Grandpa Varney passed away on January 20 and it makes us so sad. We will miss seeing him when we go to Utah. We were able to go up to the funeral and it was sooooo good to be there with family. ...

We had a great December packed with lots of fun things! We took Taylor with us to the Christmas Express which we love doing every year.

Erin and I played in our first Pickleball Tournament! It happened to be on ...
