Father’s Day!
what a great dad!
The kids love him. He is the most fun in our house – hands down.
Ray really wanted to get Ben a Taco Cat shirt like his – so we made that happen. He was so proud 🙂
and a BBQ at Matts!

A couple of guys from work. Ben made pizza and we all hung out.
The boys all went to Father and Sons in the rain this year!! They had lots of adventures and slept in the van!
GIRLS night was also a success: shopping, soccer, treats and shows 🙂
3 of our 5 players
!Team Pictures!
Hanging out at games!
The face of a coach that just finished his last soccer practice until Fall!
And we had all of Ben’s teams over for end of the year parties! (luckily the basement leak got finished the day of the first party.)
Packer and Ben went on a campout to Anderson park with all of the 11 year old scouts in our area. They had a good time and Packer did a 5 mile hike on Saturday. He was exhausted when he got home.
end of an era for these two going to soccer practice together.
Birthday Morning!
We met Ben at JCW’s for lunch and then that evening his parents and Savannah stopped by!
And we ate cake and ice cream. And the 43 candles was pretty intense!!
We decided to take the girls to the Hale Center Theater in Orem to see The Little Mermaid. The play was great and the girls were great and the time spent together was great.
State Wrestling Tournament was January 26th and 27th! I went and watched Packer wrestle on Friday. Ben and Grandpa Netty cheered and coached. He wrestled 5th-6th Grade bracket, 60-64 lbs. His first match up was against the guy that won the bracket. Packer survived the first round and then he got pinned. His 2nd guy pinned him in the first round 🙁 Packer was excited to be there though and proud of his hard work and improvement.
Benji wrestled early Saturday morning. I wasn’t there to take pictures 🙁 I decided to go to the Temple with Shannon instead) Ben and Grand[a Netty were there. He wrestled in the 7th, 8th, 9th grade bracket at 104-108. He got beat pretty bad on both of his match ups.
Ray wrestled Saturday evening in the Kindergarten 40-43 bracket. They did a round robin and he beat all 3 guys! He pinned the first 2 and then won by points on the last one! Ben and I and Grandpa Netty and Michelle and Udine were there to watch.
I decided that I really wanted to be at Shaelyn’s wedding so I bought a plane ticket and met up with Kelsey and Shannon at the airport and had a great weekend with my siblings and extended fam! Millie was a little sad to let me leave. We flew out on Thursday evening and I had a blast with my sisters:
Millie was also upset that I was going to get wedding cake so her dad got them cake! Mom picked us all up at the San Jose Airport and we went back to the Eggers house. We crashed the bachelorette party and had a fun pre-wedding evening.
The wedding was Friday around noon. They were SOO Happy and SOO Excited. It was a beautiful wedding. Christy had food for everyone and I had some quality car time with mom, dad, Shannon, Kelsey, Tracie, John and Michael.
The reception was at a golf course. We had mac and cheese bar and all you can drink soda bar. I’ve got to admit that it was nice to just enjoy the atmosphere, help out where I could, and not worry about my kids. Josh and Brady were security, the cake fiasco was dealt with and the place was packed. We danced until 9:00 and then sent the couple on their way. Clean up and then a big sleepover in Holister.
On Saturday we had GIRLS day out. We went to lunch and to the outlets and to dinner! and celebrated Mal’s birthday.
We hung out again Saturday evening and most everyone went home. This is where my phone stopped working so the pictures end… but we went to church the next morning and then to dinner at the friends house with all of the other friends and then Bryce took us to the airport. I had a BLAST.
Meanwhile back at home:
Ben stayed and worked from home on Friday! and then took the kids to the 4:00 movie.
Saturday: Erica watched the kids all day while the boys went to their wrestling tournament and they finished out the night with Pizza Pie Cafe! Ben is the BEST! I think they even got to church on time. He made them roast and potatoes! The house was clean when I got home! amazing husband!
