03/04/12 Stake Conference

3/4/12

Just finished Stake Conference. Pres Ellsworth did a great job as always. Nick Bassett got called out of the audience. Poor guy. He did great though. The theme was feast upon the words of the scriptures and follow the commandments and everything will be ok. Sister Jordan (Dave's daughter Anna) recently returned from New Mexico and gave a great talk. She is pretty and a good speaker.

Busy week again. Last night I took the girls to Dixie College to watch the Fiddler on the Roof for girlscouts. That is one dang long show. 3 hours. Geesh. Guess we got our $5 worth and then some. The actors and actresses did a good job but I wouldn't have minded the sweetend condeneced version!

They boys have been spending lots of time with the band getting ready for different performances. In about 2 weeks they head to Disneyland with the band. Should be pretty fun.

For YW this week we announced that we were doing Personal Progress stuff so ALL my non members bailed and didn't show up. Love it. We are going to start doing that 1X per month from now on. Wonder if they'll start coming anyway or just keep ditching?! I don't really care...my members need this program and they haven't been doing it on their own so I'm hoping the monthly motivation will help them. We'll see.

The weather is up and down lately with cold days (snow up north) and then warm sunny 60 degree days. I love those! I think that is one of the things I love about this area. You don't have the long dreary winter like some areas.

I hope you are doing great. I can't think of anything else exciting to tell you. Take care and keep up the good work! Love Mom

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!
