Oakley Comes to Visit

In January Oakley & Logan came up for a long weekend to celebrate Logan’s birthday and their anniversary. We were so happy to have them. We got to spend some extra time with Jax one night when they went ice skating. Oakley also got to go watch Rhett’s cheer competition. 

AND….Oakley and Rhett have to learn the hard way…if you take pictures on my phone, I’m posting them! Lol

 

Baby VayDa

On Jan. 12, 2023 our niece Macady had her first sweet baby. They named her VayDa. She’s beautiful and we are so happy for them. 

Madison Cheer Comp

The Madison Cheer Comp was a fun one this year. We dominated! 1st’s in everything including co-Ed stunt group! It’s always fun to come out on top and see their hard work pay off! 

Preg Check 2023

 Preg checking cows in January is always so cold! I’m always grateful that these guys let me be a part of it though.

I Will Miss This

Every morning as I clean up the disaster that my bathroom is after Laiklie has left for school I remind myself that one day I am going to miss this. Laiklie is only two years from graduating and every time I think about it I tear up. So until then, as a grumble cleaning up the bathroom, I’ll remind myself that one day I will miss this.

Final Day in California

Friday was our last day in California. We tried to squeeze as much in it as we could in the few hours we had before our flight. We drove to Escondido to the Safari Park which we had planned to go to on Thursday. The kids were exhausted and slept the whole way there. We saw as many animals as we could in the few hours we had. We got to ride the African tram, which was so fun. 

Ryan, the kids and I headed back to the airport early afternoon. Our flight was delayed several times and we didn’t get into Utah until after 9. Oakley met us at the airport real quick so we could give Jax a little love before we headed home. It was storming and the storm got bad enough we ended up having to get a hotel at midnight in Tremonton. We got up early and drove home Saturday just in time to let the kids celebrate New Year’s Eve with friends and get Dallin packed to move to college.  Our trip was a great way to end our year!

CA Day 4

Because Danica was still sick Thursday morning we put our plans for the day on hold. Instead we slept in and lounged around the hotel. Ryan and I took the other three kids down to the beach for a while. It was 60° outside and the water was freezing, but those three insisted on wearing their swimsuits and getting completely drenched. They played and played in the waves again. We took them right back to the hot tub. Danica felt well enough to at least sit in the hot tub with them. The kids watched movies and played a few games we got at the dollar store to finish out the evening.
