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!

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. )

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...
