02/14/16 Letter from Dad

Whassup Bryce!

I'm actually in church right now and figured I'd use a little down time to write you only iPad.

I have been super crazy busy the past few days as the playoffs near and state is happen g in other sports like swimming, wrestling, etc. I Added it up and we published 19 sports stories the last three days - definitely the most in a three day stretch since I've been at STGNews. I wrote more than half of those and edited and published the rest, including photos - yeah Hoppie has been busy too.

Hey, just two weeks away from turning 50 -- I'm so excited ... NOT.

Dunno if mom told you, but no surgery fo my knee yay!!! But I'm not allowed to play racquetball or basketball for six weeks, so boooo!

Binders blessed their baby today and Dallas and I stood in the circle. It was nice. They have two little boys now. The kid, Jacob, was cute. He just laid back and enjoyed the bouncing during the prayer.

Happy for you that things seem to be going pretty well for you. Did you ever hook up with the zirkers? Has it been gloomy/cloudy there. We are having gorgeous weather here - 70 degrees! Unfortunately, all of Salt lake seems to be down here clogging up the streets and the parks. Hate all the traffic!

Mom played organ today - kind of a last minute thing. Oh , and we got called to teach marriage and family relations class. That should be a adventure .

Keep having fun and growing spiritually. You'll be home before you know it!

Love ya son!

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...
