May 2023 - Salt Lake Staycation & Aunt Diane's Funeral

Sweet baby Remy was born to Craig & Chelsea and we got to visit her in the hospital. She came FAST and was born at home. She's adorable!

For Alexa's birthday she and I did a staycation in Salt Lake. We had a suite at a hotel, saw the new Little Mermaid movie, listened to live music in the street and ate gelato, explored temple square, went shopping at City Creek, did an escape room, ate lots of Mexican food, got Boba tea, and used electric scooters to go all over downtown Salt Lake.

Grandma Sweeny and Alexa got their nails done and got Indian food for her birthday as well :).

Grandma Sweeny, Grandpa Sweeny, and Jonny came to Utah for Aunt Diane's funeral. She passed very suddenly from a heart attack. She made anyone and everyone feel comfortable and loved in their own skin, was always generous with her talents and possessions, and will be missed terribly.

While Jonny and Grandpa were here we went to the Saratoga Temple open house and ate at In-N-Out.

Alexa graduated from 6th grade (!!) and Liam graduated from preschool. Two big milestones for these smart, cute kids.

I went to IHOP on a date with Tad, complete with giant pancakes and lots of refillable hot chocolate.

For Mother's Day Kyle got me and the girls matching dresses. If you zoom in you can see FOMO Nathan standing at the window, wondering why we won't let him join the fun. And Tyler made me a statue for Mother's Day at school :).

Other shenanigans.

And Audrey is still oh so adorable.

Funny Stories:

Liam: What’s Nathan’s middle name?

Dad: Richard

Liam: What’s your middle name?

Dad: Edward

Liam: What’s Mommy’s middle name?

Liam: Yes she does! It’s JEFF-ER-EEE

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
