Club Volleyball - 1st Tourney

Laiklie had her first club volleyball tournament in the middle of January. It was in North Salt Lake. Oakley was having a few hard days, so her, Logan and Jax drove up on Friday to watch Laiklie‘s last game. We got to the hotel early enough that they even got to sit in the hot tub and swim for a minute. Jax loved it! They stayed the night with us at the hotel and watched her first game Saturday morning. My sister Jenny came and watched all of Saturday with me too. It was so good to catch up with her. Laiklie played well!  It was a great start to her club season! 

Laiklie’s Accident

Laiklie called me on her way home from school on January 18th in a panic. She had caught some slush with her back tire and started to spin. As she got closer to the edge of the road,  she panicked worried that if she went off at the angle she was going that she would roll her car. So she turned and hit it straight on. It shot her up over the ditch and into a farmers field. Her car came to a stop on a culvert. When Ryan and I got there and saw the situation we were shocked she hadn’t rolled it. She was definitely being watched over and blessed! She was super sore that evening and the next day. Luckily, we were able to pull the car off the culvert, cut the bumper off of it, and drive it home. Such a scary day for her! 

 

Logan’s Birthday

Logan turned 24 in January of this year. Oakley sent me these cutest pictures from them going out to birthday breakfast! Happy Birthday Logan! What an incredible blessing he has been to our family! We couldn’t ask for a better son-in-law!

Cheer Comp Season ‘24

This year has been a little different watching the cheer competitions without Rhett on the mat. It’s fun to see him get the opportunity to coach. This was the first competition I was able to go to this year. It just so happened that two of the boys he used to cheer with were there supporting the team as well. I made them let me take their picture so that I could compare it to the one when Rhett was a freshman. I’m so grateful he still has the opportunity to be a part of something he loves so much!

Utah Jazz

Logan’s family has season tickets to the Utah Jazz, so occasionally Oakley and Logan get them. They happened to get them for New Years Day and invited Ryan and I to go with them! Such a fun night together. Our favorite little guy Jax came too. He loved the milkshake and couldn’t get it in him fast enough. He had to use both hands and 2 spoons. Hahaha! 

New Years 2024

Ryan and I got invited to a Utah Jazz game with Oakley & Logan on New Years Day. We got to UT early enough that Ryan wanted to stop at the Ogden cemetery to find his 3rd great grandfather George Romrell’s headstone. He called his grandpa Max to see if he could help us locate it and he reminded Ryan that there was a Romrell Park there too. So neat! I love learning about those who’ve come before us. 

Hawkins Christmas

It’s always fun to spend part of our Christmas day at grandma Linn’s with cousins. This year we had a delicious lunch and the cousins pass the present game. All of the cousins were there except Macady and her little family. It was fun to have so many of them together. We are so blessed!
