09/06/15 Movies, pizza, BYU

The shirts you got us came in. Thank you from everyone!!!!  Very thoughtful of you!  I still have to give Marlee her t-shirt.  I figured we'd take it to her farewell if I don't see her before then. 
Monday started off with Dad taking the motorcycle test.  And not passing.  He was bummed.  I guess the course is really tight and it's hard to maneuver a big bike in a little course.  So not a big deal...he just has to keep practicing and try again another time.  He has a year.  The dump thing is he didn't even get to finish the test so he doesn't even know what else he needs to work on exactly.  He'll have to go out and watch some other tests and see if he can try again. 

Carnevale's had us over for Monday night dinner last week.  Brazilian BBQ and rice and beans.  It was really delicious. Poor bishop had an appointment at the last minute and didn't get to hang with us for a large portion of the evening. Their kids seem to really have taken to our kids and they love to play together. It's pretty cute. 

Tuesday Katie went to the movie theater and watched a movie about Beehives and girls camp.  I guess it was pretty accurate and fun for her to watch. 

Rigatti's Pizza
Wednesday I went to the dr for my annual checkup.  He said I was anemic.  Which is bizarre because anemic means your iron is low and mine is ALWAYS high!!!  I'm pretty sure it was because I had given blood the day before.  He wants me to come back and get checked in a month and make sure.  So next month when dad goes in for his annual checkup I get to get blood drawn again too!  After our dr visit we went and found the old home bread store (it moved three years ago and we've never been there since!)  They had good bread for a good price but nothing else amazing.  We'll probably only go there if we are over there...it isn't going to be the reason for going over there!   It's by ace hardware. Since we didn't have pizza monday night we went to Riggatti's pizza (new -- in the Staheli Barn area).  It is over roasted pizza.  It was REALLY good.  No grease like pizza hut. 

Friday dad and I went to Cafe Rio for lunch and Charming charlies to walk around after.  He had to work out at snow canyon while the girls and I went to Cinderella -- movie in the park.  It was a good movie and we had a nice time.  Still pretty warm here even until 10 p.m. so it was nice. 

Saturday Mitchell Squires (Moose) got baptized.  I went over to that -- they live in Little Valley area now.  He was being really shy but it seemed like he had a good experience.  The girls and I went swimming afterward at Linda's pool and then the BYU game was on all afternoon.  AJ brought some college friends over and they had pizza and popcorn and watched the game too. AJ had taken my van last week to get the big TV up to his new apartment.  He had a bunch of kids in his van.  One of them put their cell phone into our van in the glove box.  AJ got up past Cedar City before they realized and he had to turn around and come back and get the phone.  Dad and I took the motorcycle for our first ever freeway ride and met them in Leeds...but still...cost them probably 1.5 to 2 hours.  Ugh!  He probably didn't get home until 1 a.m. or even later.  They hiked 8 miles in the Narrows in Zion yesterday too so I bet they were EXHAUSTED!!!!

I don't have any pictures this week but here is a quote by Harold B Lee.  Hope you are doing well and you are happy!  We love you and are so proud of you!!!! 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...
