07/31/11 Camping at SUU and Holly sprays Katie awake

7/31/2011

Well it's the fifth Sunday so Dad had to go in at 7 a.m. but I get the morning off!!! So I made strudel cake for breakfast and kailua pork and rolls for dinner.  I sure like having the morning off!!!

Dallas has to talk today in church.  On the pioneer trek.  Lucky kid.  I attached his talk if you are interested.  I think he'll do fine.   He said he might even wear his pioneer outfit...we'll see.

Time is flying...school starts in just a couple short weeks now.  Bryce is almost done his summer ag program.  I think Monday and Tuesday next week might be it.

Holly has her first ever camp out next week.  Katie's second or third...can't remember.  Anyway we are going up Cedar Mountain and staying at the SUU lodge (wussy camping...indoor on the floor of the lodge).  It'll be fun though.

The kids are kind of full of it today.  Holly woke up early and helped me with the baking and then she took a spray bottle and woke up Katie 'cause she was bored.  Hmmmm....well you can imagine how that went!  Needless to say there is a little bedlam in the house right now.

Kind of a quiet week for church.  Only had 1 or 2 girls in church last Sunday and cancelled Wednesday because Friday was the Temple trip.  Only ended up having Nikki Turner to that so she went with the boys.  So I guess I've kinda had the week off.  It was nice!  Been trying to reconnect with my girlies cause I feel like I've been so tired or busy lately that they aren't getting enough of me!  Friday afternoon we took the play-doh toys and made cookies and decorated them.  Personally I think they are yucky but the girls sure had fun doing it.  And they are almost gone so somebody's eating them.

Bryce wants me to cut his hair...so I guess I better run.

I can't wait to hear all about your week...new companion...etc!!!!  We were so hopeful to get some news on the website from your mission mama....and there was a nice pix of you...but NO NEWS!!!!!  Aaaaahhhhh well.  You looked happy and well!!! That's always good!

Take care. Love you lots!!! 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...
