Fun in March

Paityn turned 10.  She is such a great friend to Boden.  We sure love that girl!! 

Boden got to skip school and we had a day out with mom and dad.  We went to lunch, bowling and just hung out all day.  It was so fun to have some one on one time with Boden.  

Kyson is getting ready to start Lacrosse for his first season and he is so excited 

Having fun at the Nat

One morning while going through security my bags go randomly checked, when I was waiting for them to go through my bags and I looked down and saw this time.  I love finding these in the most random places.  It makes my whole day!!  Angels are near!!  

 

Basketball Season 2023

We are so grateful for the amazing support our boys have in everything they do.  Another great basketball season completed 

They won their division again.  They are such a fun team to watch play!! 

 

Ella Turned 8

Ella turned 8 and it was a PARTY!!  Krystal put so much work into doing so much for Ella’s special day and it tuned out amazing!!  Friday night she had a kid party and then Saturday was the baptism.  It was a great weekend celebrating Ella!!  

 

Dirt Bike Riding in St. George

Cash invited Kyson to go with him and his dad down to St. George for the weekend to ride dirt bikes.  Kyson was so excited.  They went down with Josh’s cousin that owns Non-Typical Excavating so Kyson was SO EXCITED to get to know him and see how to get into the business of excavation.  Kyson was able to talk with Parker and get to know him and he had SO MUCH fun riding.  So grateful Cash and Josh let him tag along with them.  

King of the Hill

 We have been getting so much snow this year.  We got about a foot and a half over night and they canceled school.  They were supposed to have a “virtual” learning day, but let’s be real, that didn’t happen.  The boys played outside ALL DAY LONG.  They built a huge igloo and then decided it would be fun to stand on the top and it collapsed.  After it collapsed they turned it into a game.  They played “king of the hill” for about four hours with the neighbor kids.  I love watching my boys being creative, having fun and being boys!!  

Beckem’s Advice on a Girlfriend

 Beckem and I were driving to run some errands the other day and Zac called to talk to me.  He was on Bluetooth and he was telling me that he was looking at the NICU diapers.  After we hung up Beckem said “I can’t wait to be a dad” I told him it’s a lot of work but it’s pretty fun.  I said “should we have another baby??” Beckem reminded me that we can’t have babies anymore.  I said, well I could get it reversed.  He said, probably not.  We were laughing.  I then told him, well I guess I will just have to wait a few years to be a grandma then.  We were talking about how soon I could be a grandma.  If Tegan got married when Zac did, he would be married in 5 years.  Such a crazy thought!!  Beckem then said, “well, he has to find someone to be his girlfriend first” I started to laugh and said, yeah that’s true.  Beckem then said, “that’s why I have a girlfriend now, because I don’t want to get to be 20 years old and never have had a girlfriend.  Then no one would want me and before you know it I would be 30 and an old man and never get married and have to live the rest of my life alone”. The way he was saying it was cracking me up, but I guess his logic is true. . . Gotta start somewhere.  Ha ha I seriously love watching the boys grow up and hear how they think about life.  I can’t wait to be a grandma, but until then I am loving every minute of the stage of life I am in right now.  I am so blessed and grateful for the family that I have!!  

Zac’s New Job

Zac got a new job with Kimberly-Clark.  They are a large company that makes multiple supplies but the plant here in Pleasant View specifically makes diapers.  Zac’s goal is to get on with maintenance but for now he got a job as a machine operator.  He has seemed SO HAPPY this whole week.  He has been overwhelmed with information, but I have seen a growth in him that is absolutely beautiful.  He seems more confident, stronger and happier.  I really hope he stays that way because he has been pretty miserable doing masonry for the past 20 years.  He liked doing masonry, it was just the environment and other things that really wore him down.  There is nothing more important in this life, than to be happy and enjoy the life we were given.  I get so much joy from watching him be happy and grow and I hope it continues that way.  We are excited for this next adventure and we are grateful for the doors that the Lord has opened up for him to get a new job.  

 Zac works 3-12 hour day shifts, then has 3 days off then works 3 night shifts.  I remember how hard it was to sleep during the day when I worked night so I wanted to make it a little easier for him to sleep.  I made these barn doors to cover our window.  It makes the room completely dark for him to sleep and when they are open I love the look of them :) 

Look how handsome he is in his uniform :)
