September 2019

The kids are obsessed with Legos and play with them constantly, always building new creations. They make zoos, resorts, airplanes, houses full of fun rooms and accessories, and all sorts of other things. The other day Tyler grabbed some of the Duplos and spelled MOM and then brought it to me as a gift. Sweet boy.


We hiked up Cottonwood with the Lunas and enjoyed the last of summer.


We have been loving the pool and were sad to empty it after Labor Day. The kids have been swimming LOTS. We also found a cool leaf bug on our last swim day. 


I found Tad playing peek a boo and singing to one of the baby bunnies after church. He said it was scared because it was away from its mom so he was helping it feel better.



Alexa and I did a spa night where Tyler and Daddy gave us massages, made us fancy drinks, played spa music, and we did masks. Kyle and I tried out axe throwing which was really fun, we did black light mini golf, Alexa helped Liam practice his hand stands (I come home to the weirdest things and sometimes I remember to photograph them!!), and we went to the Harvest Festival where we saw the most giant pumpkins that people were carving.


I took Tyler to the gym at my work. He loved the treadmill and thought it was cool to run fast. We’ve had issues with 2 of the freeze dryers this month and it’s meant for a lot of frustration and long hours, so it was really nice to have a buddy go in with me.

stairs and a silly little girl....

I forgot to mention a few August updates in my last post, and have some more Alexa stories (as always)...First, Kyle (with the help of Uncle Paul and Todd--thank you!!) finished the stairs and they look awesome!!  He completely rebuilt them (ripped them down all the way to the drywall). Second, both Kyle and I were supposed to be in this work athletic competition in August, but I had to back out for obvious reasons.  Kyle still did the tennis and basketball tournaments and made me oh so proud.  He even got this funny little basketball trophy for taking third place.  The other tournaments that week included horseshoes, ping pong, foosball, golf, Wii dance, volleyball, and a triathlon. We went to Ikea for breakfast last Saturday (so delicious and cheap!) and bought Alexa a stuffed puppy while we were there.  She now takes it everywhere continuously saying "puppy, puppy, puppy!"  Speaking of the puppy, she even dragged it through toilet water l...

Good news!

I'm excited to announce that we went to the doctor yesterday for another ultrasound and I now have all my privileges reinstated!! Tear is healed and baby looks good, so we are very grateful.  As promised, I took Alexa to the park to celebrate.  We went swinging and ran around looking for flowers (dandelions). She has to stop and touch every flower she finds :). She insisted that her puppy come along. Maybe because she's a lazy bum and wanted to use him as a pillow!! We didn't get any really good ultrasound pictures from the tech (I should have made special requests!), but we saw lots of baby!  This was the ultrasound (20 weeks) where they check every little thing developing - every section of the brain, spine, chambers of the heart, kidneys, diaphragm, fingers, toes, blood flow, placenta, cord, measurements of head and waist (baby is 4 days bigger than the due date), etc. etc.  It's so fascinating to see all of that already developed and so teeny tiny...

April - May 2012

We started out April very busy at work with the Shelf Reliance annual convention up at the Salt Palace.  I stayed up there Thursday morning through Saturday night and ran around making sure things went smoothly with registration, workshops, the AV Team, slide layouts, that the owners actually stopped to eat, etc. etc.  We normally had meetings with the AV Team until 2 in the morning to prep for the next day, and were up early in the morning with the consultants.  It was lots of fun!  The executive team even dressed up as an 80’s band for the final group session and performed some Bon Jovi and Air Supply.  They were in a band together in college, so I think this was like a dream come true.  Luckily, I was fortunate enough to use my amazing musical talent to help make up some lyrics to their songs that had to do with the company.  We also had a FANTASTIC guest speaker, Kris Belcher.  She travels a lot doing motivational speaking, and was phenomena...
