08/30/15 Moving into the new house for D & M!

08/30/15

We received your shipment of shirts from Spokane Mission!!!  Thank you!  Tell me for sure who you sent them for so I get them distributed properly. 

Our week has been busy with moving Dallas and McKayla in to their new home.  The house is right behind Wal-mart hill in a new little community.  It is a beautiful condo with about 1800 sq ft 3b 2.5 bath.  

We thought it was still in our stake in the 7th ward but it turns out the little river between the condo community and the last house in the stake is the line.  So they will go to the church up in Green springs.  Crazy huh!?  We were looking forward to them being in the 7th ward with Spriggs and Seegmillers and lots of other people that know and love them.  Bummer. 

Dallas sliced his finger at work Friday morning so he spent a good portion of the day at insta care.  He never complained about it though and just worked away at work and moving after it happened.  

Marlee came over for dinner Wednesday night.  We had a nice visit.  Katie made cupcakes for her birthday and we gave her a little first aid kit to take on her mission. Her farewell is coming up pretty quick...like 4 weeks now I think. 

Dad got asked to speak in Sacrament meeting today...and me and Aj and Holly will too.  It seems like we talk in church a lot!  Katie gets to not talk because she did a youth talk a couple of weeks ago.  

Our talks are about how service in the church has brought us peace and happiness. Or something like that.  I attached Holly's talk and my talk for ya. 
Click for OptionsAJ came down for the weekend.  We got to sing happy birthday to him (24!!!!).  He got to go on a couple of dates -- haven't heard how they went and help Dallas move and go to football game with Dad. He will stay through dinner today probably and then head back up to Provo. 

Hope everything is going well there.  Excited to hear lots of details about your new comp and how things are going!!  

Love you! 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...
