04/19/15 Tuacahn, Kite Festival & neighborhood party

Kids playing life size hungry hippos
4/19/2015
How was your Saturday meeting with the apostles? Did you get to shake hands? Were the talks amazing? Was it stake conference too or did they just come for your mission?   
How are things going there?
Things are good here.  This past week has been busy as usual. My visiting teacher came Wednesday (one of them was sick, so only one came. )  For young women's they played hungry hippos.  It was really cool and fun you should see if you can get your mission or Young men/women to do it.  I'll send some pictures.  We used skate boards, baskets and balloons.  The kids really seemed to enjoy it.

Thursday was our annual choir performance at Tuacahn.  Probably our last one.  We are doing a lot of last things as Holly wraps up her final year of elementary school.  It was good.  They had a ton of choirs.  They each did some combined songs at the beginning and end and each choir did a number.  It was exactly an hour.  It was  great.  In the past it sometimes seemed they really dragged those out but it was nice and compact and good!
Friday we had our usual date and then the girls and I ran some errands and did house work etc.  Riley's stayed and played until 8:30 p.m.

Saturday I took the girls to the kite festival (another last time) and then Katie and Holly had soccer games. It was a rare week where dad didn't have to work so we took the girls out to Dickie's and then came back and played catch phrase and play nine.  It was fun.  Everybody behaved and got along and the evening went super fast.


Looked up and it was 10 p.m.  What?!  Haha.  
The kids in primary are getting ready to sing on mother's day so we are practicing all the fun mother songs.

They are doing a neighborhood party Monday night so we'll probably go to that.  Our neighborhood has some really great people.  We are pretty lucky.  The Clark's are hosting.

Holly, clapping

Brother Justin Wright has an operation schedule this week...removing his thyroid and tumors around his thyroid.  If they are non cancerous he will be down for 2-3 weeks.  If they are cancerous he will be many months in treatment.  So pray for there to be no cancer.  Apparently he has tumors in his brain also. Super scary.
Next week is going to be busy again -- we are planning to head up to BYU to see AJ march for graduation.  It will probably be a quick trip and just Dad and I will go.  


Andy and Shelly, enjoying the show!

Hope everything is going well and you have a great week!  Can't wait to hear from you.  Love you!!!! mom

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...

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. )

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!
