01/02/08 Trip home from Dad's & new job at church

1/2/2008 LETTER TO BECKY

Our drive home was perfect -- we left dad's house at 10:30 p.m. Friday night. The roads were clear -- just a little hint of snow through Santaquin and one other town where we were afraid it might get nasty and then it cleared right up again. I think we made the right choice. Ed and Wendy came home Sunday and it took them several hours more than they expected and it was yucky most of the way they said.

We had no movies and no treats since it was so late and you know what...there was no mess in the car! AMAZING! The kids didn't necessarily sleep well (the girls were restless) but they slept in the next morning and we had a Saturday to do what needed to be done.

Well I'm glad your ward reassignment seems to be working. I had about 21 girls in my YW program and it was a good size. Are they spread out evenly? I had like all beehives, a couple of miamaids and like 2 inactive laurels.

I guess you'll be going to camp again! You know what's going to happen don't you? You'll be in YW now until Morgan is old enough and then you'll be out!

Thanks for coming and spending the day with us. It was nice to have some time together! I don't know if I am ready for a new year but here it is!!!! Happy New Year!

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them. Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough). SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary. The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

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. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas). The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66. Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!! What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
