Kam celebrated her 19th Birthday and started her second semester at ASU. Owen celebrated his 11th Birthday and had an emergent appendectomy. We all learned about sleepless nights with a new puppy.

March 2019
Kam got a stamp in her passport as she traveled with Barrett Honors College at ASU to Trinidad for Carnival! It was a Spring Break to remember for sure. While she was gone, Owen was the man of the house and smashed our first (and only) scorpion of the year. Owen and I took a trip to Stanford for a routine annual biopsy and his heart was looking perfect.
April 2019
The desert started warming up a little later than normal and we had a perfect April. Lulu discovered bacon and human food. Kam crashed her car a few times and the final time (not her fault) the car was totaled. She got a new car in April and no more accidents to date. Easter was perfection spent at church and with family.
May 2019
Owen finished off his 5th grade school year by writing a report on Alexander Hamilton and he nailed it! The sling was a slip and fall accident that landed him in the hospital for an evening. Lulu graduated from puppy training. Kam wrapped up her Freshman year at ASU. Logan kept us all busy with his crazy energy but I got a rare photo of him and Lulu sleeping.
June 2019
Momma turned 40!!! I also got accepted into Nursing school after working really hard so I could compete with a bunch of really smart humans. We lived in the pool and the boys learned how to swim on their own. There isn't much to say about June except for we swam a lot to stay cool!
July 2019
Owen and I made another trip to Stanford for another perfect cardiac report. I am not sure when he grew up, but he is getting so big! Big surprise here, but we swam in the pool a lot.
August 2019
Owen started back into 6th grade at school and decided quickly that it was not a good fit for him. He decided to try out online public school and LOVES it so much! I am his learning coach and he is thriving. Kam started her fall semester at ASU and I started my ASU courses towards my BSN. Yikes! Logan started working on his preschool skills and has ZERO interest in education.
September 2019
Logi started Soccer!! He wanted to and didn't want to so we waited until the last minute. He loved the practices, but hated the games. The rest of us were consumed by school.
Dentist appointments resulting in zero cavities. Halloween parties, pumpkin patch and Trick Or Treating wrapped up this busy month.
November 2019
Logan wrapped up his soccer season with a bang.
"This is the greatest day of my life... soccer is over!" I'm not sure we could convince him to play soccer again. We went to several HopeKids events including a private suite at the Suns game and a day at Main Event.
We spent the day surrounded with family. My family included 6 missionaries and a lot of cousins. Carson's family party was full of good times as the cousins played Dungeons and Dragons.
Daddy's 43rd Birthday!
December 2019
We kicked off the month with a cardiology appointment at PCH and a visit to the Donate Life tree. The heart transplant Christmas party, Mended Little Hearts Christmas party and our ward's Christmas breakfast were all super festive. It was a perfect Holiday season! Logan celebrated his 5th Birthday.. yes, you read that right. Kam and I survived finals week and now we relax, breathe and enjoy our short winter break.
Goodbye 2019! You were good to our family. You brought some tough times but that is where we find room for growth. It was a blessed year and we can't wait to ring in the new year and start a new decade!
