February 2023 - Top Gun Tyler

Tyler really wanted a Top Gun Maverick 10th birthday party so we watched the movie at our house and made a Top Gun cake.  He and his second cousin, Dean Hulme, are in the same class at school and even wore matching t-shirts to the party.  For his birthday Tyler really wanted a Star Wars helmet, and then we got him a 3D pen and a moon ball.






We went on a fun double date with the Pardons to an escape room where we had to figure out the secret formula for a candy factory before we ran out of time.

Kyle took Alexa to her first Daddy Daughter Valentine's dance at school.  She is too grown up, time slow down!!


Nathan and Tad continue to be crazy and Audrey is smiley and adorable.




Liam drew a picture for Audrey and was showing it to her 💗


Liam and Dad on their bowling date night

Liam got a new Buzz Lightyear toy and without us realizing it he grabbed a sharpie and wrote his name on Buzz's foot just like in Toy Story :)



Mark brought the kids a bunch of really great Harry Maclary books from England. No wonder they love him so much.



We had a fun family date at Airborne on President's Day.  Here's a video of our family jump:

Funny stories:


Liam: What's the password?

Tad: (proceeds to punch Liam in the stomach)

Liam: Nope, the password is that you have to punch me in the face, not the stomach!


Tyler: What is the name of the car that flies? Chuckarama?

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...
