03/04/12 Stake Conference

3/4/12

Just finished Stake Conference.  Pres Ellsworth did a great job as always.  Nick Bassett got called out of the audience.  Poor guy.  He did great though.  The theme was feast upon the words of the scriptures and follow the commandments and everything will be ok.  Sister Jordan (Dave's daughter Anna) recently returned from New Mexico and gave a great talk.  She is pretty and a good speaker.
Busy week again.  Last night I took the girls to Dixie College to watch the Fiddler on the Roof for girlscouts.  That is one dang long show.  3 hours.  Geesh.  Guess we got our $5 worth and then some.   The actors and actresses did a good job but I wouldn't have minded the sweetend condeneced version!
They boys have been spending lots of time with the band getting ready for different performances.  In about 2 weeks they head to Disneyland with the band.  Should be pretty fun.
For YW this week we announced that we were doing Personal Progress stuff so ALL my non members bailed and didn't show up.  Love it.  We are going to start doing that 1X per month from now on.  Wonder if they'll start coming anyway or just keep ditching?!  I don't really care...my members need this program and they haven't been doing it on their own so I'm hoping the monthly motivation will help them.  We'll see.
The weather is up and down lately with cold days (snow up north) and then warm sunny 60 degree days.  I love those!  I think that is one of the things I love about this area.  You don't have the long dreary winter like some areas.

I hope you are doing great.  I can't think of anything else exciting to tell you.  Take care and keep up the good work!  Love Mom

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...
