Florida Birthday Trip

Ben was going to be in Florida over my birthday, so he invited us to go with him.  His flight and hotel were covered by his company, which made it much less expensive.  We walked about 26 miles over the duration of the trip and had a lot of fun!  I especially loved the warm weather and just sitting by the pool.  The boys loved the roller coasters.  

The penguins at Sea World are so cool!

First time on a standing coaster

First time at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Mako was their favorite ride!

I love to see these two together

Meta Glasses

For my 51st birthday, Ben got me some Meta Glasses.  They are so cool!  I can just look at something and say, hey meta, take a picture and it does!  I can ask Meta questions and it answers.  I can video record and listen to my podcasts and take my phone calls all on my glasses.  They double as sun glasses too, they darken when I go into the sun.  When I opened them, I had never heard of meta glasses, so I don't think I gave the appropriate response.  I didn't realize what an amazing gift they were.  Thanks Ben!

 

New Venture

We've been saving our pennies to start a business venture in Puerto Vallarta.  Whenever we go there we have to rent 2 vehicles to get around.  We decided to buy a passenger van that we will use when we go down, and we'll rent it out the rest of the year.  We'll see how it goes.  Starting out small, but who knows, maybe it will grow and thrive.

Basketball Season

This year Q played on multiple basketball teams, all coached by Ben.  They had another amazing season.  They went undefeated in the Salt Lake Bantam League, but lost in the semi-final (because half of our players were out of town for baseball.)  In the Utah County bantam league they had a great season, but also lost in the semi-final.  

Qyntn's handles have improved, his defense is great, we just need to work on his shooting.  It will come.  He's playing club ball in the off season.

Ben was a phenomenal coach!  Love my ballers.

My Valentine💘

This year we got a blender for valentines day so we can eat our fruits and vegetables in smoothies and live a long, healthy life together.  (Neither one of us likes vegetables.)  We also got Funko popped, enjoyed a delicious lunch at Chili's and visited the true rest float spa.  

It was interesting. 
Not sure I need to do it again though. 

17!

I met Reyn when she was 2.  Hard to believe she is now 17.  She's a beautiful, sweet girl.  Happy Birthday Reyn!
