November 2025 - Liam's Baptism

Liam was baptized and had lots of great support from family. It was a miracle that Grandma and Grandpa Sweeny made it because Grandpa had just recently had surgery with a really tough recovery, and a lot of flights were being cancelled that week due to the FAA / government shutdown.  Uncle Mikey let Liam ride from the church to our house in his Tesla.  Liam chose a pasta bar at our house for lunch after his baptism.  







Miss Audrey turned 3 and asked for a bunny cake.  








Other random happenings:

Tad and I played racquetball for our 1v1 date this month

And Liam chose to go bowling for our family date

Alexa and I went and saw the new Wicked movie for our date


Tyler is so strong that he can pick up Liam and Tad at the same time

We got more wood chips to fill in our mow strips and in between wheelbarrow loads Tyler and Audrey would cuddle on top of the pile 

Nathan filled out a gratitude book at school and it said he was thankful for Mom, Dad, and his toilet :)

December 2025 - Christmas Magic

We had a fun Swingle Christmas party with fabulous games by Auntie Emmy.   Liam finished his Jr Jazz basketball season.  For Christmas we got the kids a new playground. Tad made really cool gifts with cardboard and hot glue, including a wolf mask for Liam and a Mario question block for Nathan that opens and closes to hold toys and stuffed animals.  Tyler made cool stuff with his 3D pen.  And Alexa made me a hoodie in her sewing class.  Best. Gift. Ever.  Alexa wanted to dye her hair dark brown so we got a box dye and set up shop Christmas night while watching Home Alone.  She also got lots of nail stuff, candles, and a new purse.   Tyler's big gift was a wood chess set and he also got more Magic cards. Tad got a STEM engineering subscription box called Crunch Labs. He asked for a Yoda squishmallow from Santa. Liam got lots of books and Legos. He asked for a blue blanket from Santa. Sweet boy. Nathan got a track car set. He asked for Soni...

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...

June 2025 - Greece

The international travel continued in June with an amazing trip to Greece to celebrate my friend Kimberly's 40th birthday.  We stayed in Santorini for a few days and then had a couple of days in Athens.  Our Airbnb in Santorini was in a cove only accessible by boat and it was an absolute dream.  We fell asleep every night with the windows open and the sound of the water just outside.  We were a group of 7 women (including Kimberly) who all knew her but didn't really know each other.  We had a great time and became lifelong friends.   In Santorini we went to an amazing spa with a private relaxation room, explored the city, saw ruins, went to museums, went shopping, hiked a volcanic island, went to the beach, and ate lots of great food.   In Athens we went to more amazing museums and explored the Acropolis.  It was significantly hotter there and the locals were much less excited about tourists.  We also went to an outdoor theater to w...
