BYU Baseball Game
The McKeehans invited us out to the BYU baseball game with them and a bunch of the neighbors. Jack got to be the batboy. BYU won. It was a perfectly beautiful night and we had a great time!

Happy Birthday PACKER – 14
This guy turned 14 on the 25th! I hurried home from my girls trip that Sunday morning and we celebrated after church. He got an awesome new mountain bike so he can hit the trails hard this summer! And the cake was simple but it really could have been amazing – his favorite band – AJR made out of his other interests – among us, hockey and minecraft. Packer is such a chill kid. He prefers things in order and QUIET. He is usually walking around with ear buds in listening to AJR. He gets all A’s at school and takes it pretty seriously. He just started an adobe premier online class and is getting very good at movie editing.
Stinking STAPLED MONKEYS COUSIN! thanks matt and jamie family. BUT Ben did get a “real” hug from Packer!
We had Falabella’s over for homemade pizza dinner and Gentry and Maren came to stay for a couple of days. So we had an extra good spanking train this year!! I can’t believe how old this guy is!

Girls Bachelorette Weekend
We wanted to celebrate Shannon before her wedding this summer and it turned into a Girls Weekend in Phoenix!
Thursday morning Megan and Kit and Kelsey and I took the 6am flight to Phoenix! We rented the 15 passenger van and then went out to breakfast. We took Kelsey to her old roommates house to hang out for the day and then Megan and I checked into to the house we rented. I got to play with baby Kit and take a nap. We went to lunch and had some good girl talk and then went grocery shopping. That evening we started picking up all the SISTERS! We grabbed Shaelyn and then Liz – (this is where we had Kelseys Canes Chicken Sauce Story!) and then we went back and got Sam and Jana and Shannon and Tommi. Mom and Tracie and Reese got in from the other airport around 11:30pm as well. Christy got there the next morning and Mal had to cancel because of a funeral at the last minute.
On Friday we chilled in the morning and then went out to lunch at a pizzeria. We went shopping at the Nordstrom Rack Last Chance store and then we came home and chilled and gamed and swam and then we went out for a late dinner at a burger and shake place called The Stand. After dinner we found some pickleball courts and played from 9-10pm!
On Saturday a few of us got up and tried to find some pickleball courts that weren’t crowded: Me, Liz, Christy, Tracie and Kel. Then we just wanted to relax at the pool and house all day and enjoy the 80 degree weather – It was great. We ended up playing in the pool for hours doing homemade games of volleyball and basketball. So fun to be a kid again. Some sisters brought me Taco Bell and a Swig and Cookie and we had popsicles and we played games!
That night was our bacheloretty part – We went to the Medieval Times Dinner and Show! We had fun watching and talking and wondering what they were going to bring out next. After the show we played some “everything but beer Pong” and had a fun late night!
On Sunday morning we were out of there at 4am again! for the 6:00 flight home! Christy took the rental van back for me 🙂 and then caught her flight. Mom and Tracie had an afternoon flight so they closed down the house for us and returned their car and that was that – IT was a fun little weekend with lots of Girls that I love and hopefully Shannon and Tommi felt some of our love.
Sunny Phoenix to cold Salt Lake and Mom and Trae doing zoom church at the park with all the leftover food! 🙂

When Joel says Canyon – We GO
I got a text from Joel Sunday afternoon during church that he was taking his family up the AF canyon for a Sunday Campfire Picnic and we should join them. So you know we hustled after church and threw some dinner together and made it up there! It’s always worth it!
4/14 Dad’s Birthday
All of us Utah peops and MOM went out to dinner Wednesday night in honor of DADs BIRTHDAY. It was nice to be with mom on that day and to ty and make it special. It’s still so unreal that Dad isn’t with us anymore! I find myself in tears at the weirdest times. We all miss you Dad!
