11/21/10 LETTER FROM ANDY TO AJ

Hey man,

Haven't had a chance to write much lately. Just some quick hits for you:

* Mom had some minor surgery stuff, but all is well.
* Hurricane lost state on last play of game to Juan Diego again, This time it was a field goal.
* Highland won 4A in 2OT. They're the ones that barely beat Pine View.
* Neal and I road tripped  up to state games, then I did play by play and Devon did color.
* Show has been good, buit I miss my biggest fan!
* Remember Tyler Roberts. He has some kind of brain tumor and can't hardly talk. Not sure if it is cancerous or not.
* Dallas and Bryce both said they miss you a lot. We played football yesterday out back with Andrew and Byron. It was fun, but hurt my shoulder.
* Grandma said she sent you a package with some goodies and stuff. You get the stuff from Derek. How's he doing?
* His farewell was funny. He was really unprepared, but did OK anyway. Plenty of cute girls there. His Mom is a basketcase.
* Left on road trip with Neal at 5 a.m. and got home a little after 3 a.m. the next day. Slept til 1, just like you used to.
* BYU is 6-5 now and Utah is 9-2, but they barely beat SDSU, just like Cougars. Should be a pretty good game, though I think U will win. It is this Saturday.
* BYU hoops looks pretty good early. They beat Utah State, but Mikeli Wesley killed them inside. I think teams with good big man will be trouble this year. Jimmer and Emery look good.
* Cowboys gave won 2 straight since they fired Wade Phillips. Guess Jason Garrett is a wonderboy after all.
* Sick of the food yet? Any requests for Thanksgiving?
* Love you lots and we are praying for you everyday. Keep your chin up. U r da man!

Love ya, Pops

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...

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!

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. )
