08/28/10 Aj turns 19!

08/28/10

AJ turned 19 today.  We had a fun get together at Gma and Gpa Laurito's house.  Eldon and Diane, Johnny, Marcus, Laura, Rachel, Seth, Miranda, Duncan and Drake and all of us were there. It was fun.  The boys played football at AJ's request.

The girls and I went to the pool Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.  The Turner's pass ended yesterday and they wanted to get their $ worth!  We love to swim!

I have been working on losing weight for quite some time.  Took me over a year to lose 10 lbs (40 is tough!)  This week I made my second goal and hit 145.  I will try to maintain that for awhile.  (My weight likes to fluctuate)

Andy is doing great. He lost 60 lbs.  It has helped for us to both be trying.

I go to work out every day from 6-7 a.m.  I like spinning on M and F, walking on W, weights on T & H.  Then swim any chance I get. In addition I try to walk to the kids to school and me to work about 1 mile every day.  I don't usually walk home.  With the kids new schedule I've had to cut my workout 15-20 minutes every day.  Hopefully it won't make me gain weight again.

Tomorrow is Taylor Squires farewell.  He leaves on his mission next Wednesday.  Should be fun to see everyone at Ben and Laura's tomorrow. They are expecting a large crowd.

We are getting our counter tops replaced next Thursday.  We like to do one improvement each year to the house.  Should look really nice.  We got a new kitchen floor last year. So the kitchen should look really good. My stove is ugly but everything else is nice.  (I can't replace it because it keeps working so well!!!)

Time seems to fly by!  I have a hard time remembering when things happened and days just zoom by.  So much to do, so little time!  I guess that's good!

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital.  We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.)  Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID!  What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis.  That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?!   We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning.  About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
