June 2023 - Tyler's tonsils out, State softball & baseball

I woke up at 5am on Father's Day with Liam and Audrey and then Kyle stayed up with Audrey until 1am because her teeth were hurting. We were zombies. Audrey got her first two teeth this month and she is really crawling and scooting around.

We played lots of baseball and softball this month. Both Tyler and Alexa's teams made it to State and we play every Sunday evening as a family. Alexa hit an infield home run in the city tournament!! She was also beaned twice at State--ouch. Tad also had a really talented team and great coaches in American Fork.

Alexa had her first girls camp. They stayed in teepees outside Bryce Canyon. They went horseback riding, shooting, swimming, and did lots of hiking. She had a blast.

We were thrilled to celebrate Aunt June turning 90!! She is amazing and we love her. We miss living closer and seeing her more often.

We had to push Alexa's birthday party into June. We rented the pavilion next to the Lehi outdoor pool. It was the first birthday party in the history of ever that I just sat there because no one needed me for anything. It was so strange and wonderful. I pulled out a book after a little while and just sat and read. Alexa even made and frosted her cake! She did such a good job.

We had fun at the (really hot) Lehi parade and rodeo.

Tyler got his tonsils and adenoids out and was really miserable for about a week after. He would write things on a little notebook because it hurt to talk and one evening after a few days he wrote a note asking when it would stop hurting so much and passed it to me with huge tears in his eyes. Broke my Mama heart.

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...

La felicidad que se encuentra: Kyle, Jenny, Alexa, Tyler, Tad, Liam, Nathan, and Audrey
