03/23/15 YW Basketball team plays regionals

3/23/2015
Katie playing ball
Yesterday got super busy and I didn't get your letter written as usual.  
I got called back into YW camp assistant director so we had a meeting yesterday morning.  Sister Rae is the director and Sister Harrison and I are assistants.  Should be fun.  Plus the presidency sounds like they will be up there quite a bit...Sister Clark and Hafen and they are both fun.

Saturday Katie's church ball team was in the regional championship.  (a couple teams from several different stakes met up and had playoffs).  She was babysitting during the 9 a.m. game which her team won.  They had another game at 1 p.m. and won again.  They had to play again at 3 p.m.  At that point they were down to 4 girls (preference was that night and a dance competition so some of the girls had to leave).  They were able to round up Rachel Lusk and have 5. Our lil team did awesome.  They lost by only 5 or 6 points but they kept it close the whole game and I think they just ran out of gas.  The other team had at least 10 players so they were able to
keep them fresh and rested.   Pretty exciting.  After that Katie had a soccer game at 5 p.m.  Whew.  She was pretty tired Sunday!
Friday night we had a BBQ with the bishopric. It was fun and nice. We went to Fife's backyard.  Weather was perfect.  Lots of room for kids to play.  
Wednesday night there was a ward auction fund raiser for the youth.  They had stuff and services to auction and a dinner. It was $10/each to get in and they served pulled pork sandwiches and chips and salad.  It was well put together and fun.  I think they made a pretty good amount of money. The ward is starting from $0 since we are brand new and we need camping stuff and manuals and who knows what else.  
Seems like there was something every day this past week for church and this week coming up is shaping up to be similar. There is RS diner Thursday and broadcast Saturday.  I guess they are keeping us out of trouble by keeping us busy!
Tired team won 2nd place!
So, I'm a little worried about you.  Is everything ok? You sounded a little down in your short note to me.  Do you want to elaborate and see if we can work through some stuff together? Or is it just adjusting to the new area and you are ok? Grandma said a beautiful prayer on Sunday dinner blessing you and we are also mindful of you.

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. )
