11/06/22 Hello Girlie

Duvet Covers

 Well here we are. The time has changed and we are officially dark way too early. AND 4 hours off of you now!!!! Holy cow! I really don't like re-adjusting my body to the time change each year and usually feel kind of icky all week after the change. We'll see how I handle it this year!


Our week was pretty quiet last week. My boss was gone 4 days and my other boss 1 day so I just did my own thing all week at work. I don't remember what I did but it went pretty quickly! haha

Wednesday we made caramel apples at YW.  They were yummy. Kinda didn't go as planned because the church had no measuring cups or pans...but ya, whatever. I had brought a little pot that overflowed so we had to be super gentle with it and I did my best guesstimate on the measurements. And that seemed to be fine. But still frustrating! Oh well. The apples turned out tasty and we had a good time. 

Sheets, towels and blankets
Taylor and Kennedy had their baby November 3...Grandma's birthday. I already told you that but pretty special. Grandpa was emotional and loved that she was born on Gma's birthday. 

Today is my 26th anniversary of employment at Washington City. WOW! Time flies when you're having fun!

Dad did 2 ball games in Cedar City Saturday afternoon and evening. Aj and Becca came as well. Becca and I went and hung out with Holly at her hotel while AJ and Dad did the games. We did so much laundry at Holly's place. So much. Seriously. So much. I told AJ he better never buy a hotel. Cause that was brutal! And apparently that's like every day!!!! 😬  We had a really nice time though and there is a certain amount of satisfaction for filling all those shelves with clean fresh linens, towels, blankets, duvets etc. !!!! We shared a pizza on our short dinner break.

Kelly Geary and I spent an hour together pulling pomegranates off the tree before the game Saturday and then we trimmed it way back for her. Looks real nice. My arms are a bit beat up but we've got a whole lot of pomegranates. Probably well over 200. I ordered an electric juicer to see if we could process it quicker than the press one at a time game we've been playing! haha. 

Hundreds of pomegranates
My YW may come over Wednesday and make Jelly to take home. 

We had Sunday dinner with Gpa and E&D and A&B tonight at 3 p.m. It was a weird day cause I fasted and then didn't get home from church until 1 p.m. Time change meant the clocks were all wrong and I made dinner an hour early. 😂  And then when I realized I really wanted some snacks but also was trying to wait until dinner. Oy!  

As you can see nothing too exciting is going on! Just living life day to day as it comes!

Today in Sunday School our lesson was on Daniel and how he had faith that he could do the things asked of him even before he did them. Also our teacher challenged us to work hard and if there is something we want to change or do, we should commit to do it for just 10 days and try it and see if we can. It's a great challenge and interesting concept. 

One lady said she quit sugar for a day and she hated it. 😂 Comedy in Sunday School. 

He said the changes may not all stick but that we should really consider what we want and take the appropriate actions to make it happen.

One other funny from church today. A lady got up and bore her testimony for 20 minutes. Only it was more an introduce myself to the ward story time. One of her stories was that when you have eight children you run out names for your children. So his dad told her he started counting. He had ona, twoa, threea, foura, fivea, sixa, sevena, Eighta.  And that is her name, Aida. 








Lots of caramel apples, yum

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. )
