05/01/11 Sunday lesson, Luau & soccer games

5/1/11
Pretty good and fast week again.  Let's see...where to start.  So this a.m. I was getting on before church to write to you and had a message in my in box.  So I looked at it was the calendar for May.  On May 1 it said, Lesson #15 Griffin. I was like...WHAT?  So I went to the closet to find the mistake (I was sure it was a mistake) and um...nope, it wasn't.  So I had to give a lesson with little or no prep.  I hadn't even read the lesson once yet.  (I usually read it way in advance to start thinking about things, ya know?) Totally NOT my thing.  Luckily for me I had already gotten lunch ready and was dressed and the girls were ready.  So I printed out the lesson and winged it.  It went ok I guess.  It's hard to judge yourself...so I'm not really sure but I survived anyway.   Ugh. We talked about missionary work and how there was a great amount to do even right here in our ward.  I tried to encourage them to work with all our nonmember girls and to be good examples etc.
Katie's LUAU was fun last night.  They put on a pretty good meal and then did about 1 hour of dancing.  They were really pretty good.  Lot of booty shaking.  The guys got up and did the hauka and some other loud chest pounding dances.  Entertaining.
The girls had 2 soccer games this week and they both love playing goalie.  They are pretty good at it too.  I think they won 3 out of 4 games.  They don't really care as long as there is a treat at the end.
Today we have a meeting with Stake Pres at 4 and then I have meetings at 4:30 and 5-6 for YW so we don't get to go to New Harmony.  Lucky for us though they have been gone for 10 days and have no food in the house so they were happy to come down here and eat with us.  So we'll eat around 6 tonight.  I made chicken, funeral potatoes, rolls, banana cream cheese pie and cookies.  Probably serve some beans too and maybe a salad for me and the old folks.  Lucky for everyone I found the whole lesson thing AFTER making all that or dinner would probably be lame tonight!
I got to do my treasurer duty 2X this week.  The deposits were $75,000 and $45,000.  WOW, huh?!  A lot of it isn't cash but still strange to know you have that much $ in your possession!
Well I hope you are healthy and well.  Love hearing all about your experiences and what's going on there so be sure to think about all the crazy and wonderful things that happended this week and share!!!
Love you lots and can't wait to see and hear you next week!!!! Holy smoke...it's only 1 week away!!!!
Take care, 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...
