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 ...
November and December- Birthdays, Surgery, Holidays!
Even with COVID still around-it's been a busy and fun couple of months around here! We are still hoping and praying the kids can go back to school soon. We survived (barely) a whole semester completely virtual. They reluctantly got back on the computers this past week after a very enjoyable winter break. In November Sami started a tumbling class. We were so excited when Ms. ...
October Adventures
A fun jeep outing... We went to San Antonio with Mike and Erin. We decided to go somewhere before I had surgery again and with so many limited options because of COVID we settled on San Antonio and...it was fine. Haha. Of course we had fun with our friends and it was nice to get away for a bit but we kept saying the whole weekend that it was just fine. How was the ...
Beau and Sami B-Days/ Baptism/School Begins Virtually
We celebrated Beau's 8th Birthday on August 10. He planned out the day: donuts with dad, swimming with friends (and he requested we buy tubes which were so much fun), lunch at Chick-Fil-A, picked out new legos at The Lego Store, picked out a new hockey stick at Dick's, played legos with Bennett all afternoon, and then we had pizza and played hockey that night. It was the best ...
Summer and Birthdays
Fourth of July we had a fun parade around the neighborhood, went swimming with friends, and then our neighbors invited us to have a BBQ and fireworks show on our street. The Sagers and Uncle Taylor came over and we had lots of neighbors out. It was a great day! We bought a butterfly habitat and got caterpillars and watched them turn into chrysalises and then butterflies! ...
