10/04/15 Pizza and pickleball

10/04/2015


Monday we went to Dallas and McKayla's new house for dinner.  McKayla made homemade pizza and it was delicious.  The girls enjoyed playing with their dog and we watched the very first episode of the Andy Griffith show.  It was a nice evening. 

Tuesday kept everyone busy as usual with the girls playing volleyball, going to piano and Holly had activity days.  Dad had girls soccer and I had court.  We just plan on not really seeing each other. 

Wednesday Katie had YW and Dad and Holly and I went and played pickleball over at Green Springs.  We played for a little over an hour and it was pretty fun.  Holly does pretty good and seems to enjoy it.  We took turns playing one - on - one while the third person sat out a game. 

Thursday I took off early in the afternoon to burn up some of my vacation hours at work (I have 5 days to use or lose by November 6).  Dad and I went to Arby's for lunch and got new tires on the van (again...I swear that van eats tires...but other than that it's a pretty good little van so can't really complain too loudly).  
Katie had volleyball Thursday afternoon for church ball.  When we got to the game they split the kids up into teams.  The kids had been practicing 3 wards together all summer but when we got to the game they decided to split it up differently.  So our 9th ward is with 2 other wards than what we've been practicing with.  Katie was really sad about that because she has a good friend on the other team -- Holly would have been unhappy too cause she would have lost the twins.). So volleyball wasn't too fun.  We left early so we could get Katie some chocolate and some time to be happy about the new teams. 

Dad had 2 radio games this week -- Thursday and Friday -- so he went to broadcast and we had a girls night.  McKayla joined us and after BBQ dinner we watched a movie AJ has to read the book for in school -- The secret life of bees.  We also spent the evening making fun goodies to send to you!  We made chocolate popcorn, pumpkin bread, chocolate chip cookies, and kinda zucchini banana bread only not.  It was a nice girls night!

Friday Holly wen to the PVHS game with the twins, Katie had a friend over and I did yard work and Saturday chores. 

Saturday morning (after being up all night) dad had to cover the marathon.  Katie played in it too!  So we had a Marathon morning.  I took pictures - which dad published a couple; Katie played a couple solos and had fun with the band (and donuts!!!) and Dad got to meet the winners -- who have each won this marathon 3X now!!! WOW!    I took the girls swimming and we watched conference.  Dad and Dallas and Gpa went to conference together and had gelato ice cream at Harmon's afterward.  The girls made chocolate cake and lasagna for tomorrow. 

All in all a nice week.  Today we are watching conference all day and it's our 27th anniversary!  Seems impossible, I don't feel that old!  I feel really blessed to have been married to my best friend and I can't imagine life without him.  I hope that all my kids are able to find someone like that to spend eternity with.  

I hope you have a great week -- you'll have to fill me in more on your hospital visit(s) and how you are doing now!  Glad you at least had a smile on your face in the pictures -- Katie thought you were joking but I could see the bracelet on your wrist so I knew SOMETHING was going on...but you looked so happy I didn't figure it could be TOO serious!

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...
