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 ...
It’s a…
GIRL! We found out at about 14 weeks that the baby was most likely a girl but it was confirmed at our 19 week ultrasound today. The kids are so excited. Kayli and Beau both wanted a baby sister. I feel great lately, not too big yet, not sick or hungry all the time anymore, and I can still work out and play sports just fine. But I know that heartburn is right around the corner, ...
Soccer/J &M/Valentine’s Day
Some friends and I decided to join a women's indoor soccer league and it has been so much fun! I looked forward to the games so much and Kenny and the kids liked coming. Mom and dad even came to the last few. It's fun being part of a team again! We have loved playing and have even scrimmaged the husbands a few times and some of us go practice at the park. The kids love it ...
Kayli’s Birthday and Holidays
Beau had to get stitches when he split open his lip. I really can't believe he's gone this long! He was jumping on the trampoline with cousins over at Grandma's house. We think he was trying to get off when he got bounced and hit his head on the rail. His tooth went right though his lip. He had a nasty hole whenever he opened his mouth! It was a Saturday night and we had a hard ...
Halloween
T-Ball ended a few weeks ago. At the banquet, the kids were so excited about their trophies and Beau now carries his everywhere. He got the award for "Fastest Runner" and even ran up for his award so everyone thought that was funny. We had a great season and it was so much fun to watch him play and to hang out with the grandparents and lots of our friends at all ...
