Our Baby is Nine!

Qyntn is growing up too fast!  He has been the sweetest most loviest little guy, I hope he never changes!  Happy birthday Qyntn, love you so much!  Today he got to skip school, went to a movie with his dad, played games at FatCats, got some of his favorite treats, robux and some fun gifts.  A few days later he had a late night with 2 of his best friends, Max and Caden.  They went to Labrynth and Airborne, it was a blast!

We have to get creative with birthday cakes around here.

he eats them 2 at a time!

He got 1000 tickets on his first roll!

Utah Jazz All-Star Alliance (Hoop Camp)

We held our first Utah Jazz All-Star Alliance Basketball Camp on Saturday and it was a hit!  The Jazz donated a pair of Donovan Mitchell shoes for each of our special needs athletes.  It was well attended by both our special needs friends and volunteers.  Ben ran the show on the court and I was the go to girl for solving issues and handling the back end stuff (registration, pictures, lunch and organizing the shoes).  The whole day was a success, and there were also some very special moments never to be forgotten.

Our lives together have been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t want to navigate this crazy life with anyone but Ben! XO

Mountain Biking

This year we added a new sport to the schedule.  Tiago joined the mountain biking club.  I'm so glad he has found something he loves to do!   His first race was in Price, Utah and it has a beast of a hill.

On your mark, get set...

Go T!

Westlake Volleyball

Alyssa made the Westlake JV/Varsity team and she is so happy!  I love watching her play.  She has definitely improved since she began this journey a few years ago.  Go Lyss!




She plays middle

This was bound to happen.
It happened the first week of practice 
but she didn’t tell her coaches.
She played through the pain. 


The team has a new head coach.
We really like her so far.
