Sweeny Fun

We also had tons of fun with the Sweeny family who came to visit in July!  Mom got here first, followed by Ben and Maria a couple days later, and then Whitney the next day for a few hours.  Anne and Jason drove out a couple days after that.  We played LOTS and loved it!  Again, we took scooter rides, played with Roxy (who Roan hated!), played Kinect, went swimming, did hikes, went to the Dinosaur Museum and Animal Farm at Thanksgiving Point, played at the park by our house, went mini-golfing, played tennis, and probably lots of other stuff I'm forgetting.  We miss these fun aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins and wish we could play together WAAAY more often.  Alexa keeps asking for them!  And it was cute that she kept asking for Grandpa because Grandma was here without him.

Random story--we took the kids mini golfing like I mentioned previously, and they were so excited because they closed down all of the courses nearby in Indiana.  Corbin was a natural and picked it up really fast.  I don't think that they had seen black lights before either (they have them on the indoor course we did), and Wylah was excited to see what glowed.  I was explaining that anything white glows--even your teeth--and she said, "I wonder if my skin will glow?!?!"  It made me laugh really hard.

love these kids!

Poor Corbin -- the girls stuck together for sure.

We wanted to take a picture of Alexa and Roan standing next to each other since they're only 4 months apart, but neither one was in the mood for a photo.

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...

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...
