06/13/12 GS Camp & St. Geo Hydrotube

6/13/12

Hi Kiddo!


It's Sunday afternoon and I'm in my usual spot writing to you! Hope you are doing great! The heat of summer has arrived and I feel pretty lucky to be in my a/c bedroom right now!

It has been a busy but good week  Kerry, our treasurer has been in Hawaii...lucky ducky...so I had the pleasure of doing my job and his this week.  Kept me pretty occupied and made time FLY!  It went pretty well.  Couple of little problems but nothing too horrible!

Wednesday we took the YM/YW to quail lake for a boating trip.  Really fun.  It was more like a YW trip...and then a YM trip because the boys came so late that we mostly just ate and left -- but it was really fun and the kids are begging for another boating trip.  Brother and Sister Olsen have said they'd love to do it again so maybe we will!

Dallas is getting over his tonsils.  It's been a pretty long week for him I think.  I believe it hurt a little more than he expected.  But he is on the good side of it now.  Should get better and better.  He starts DXATC tomorrow.  Hope he likes it.

The girls go to GS camp this week so that should be fun.  I dunno what is going to happen at work because I plan to go with the girls but EVERYBODY that is involved with court is gone this week.  The judge is fishing up the canyon somewhere, judge Carr will come instead on Tuesday. Kathy is in Alaska for 10 days and then I plan to take off Wed, Thur and Fri.  I may have to to in before we leave Wed and come back once we get home Friday.  3 days of leaving my work unattended might be too scary to return to on the following Monday.

Dee got married yesterday.  We were thinking about going over there but didn't make it.  We did however see Benjamin Squires get baptized last night and that was cool.  he is pretty cute.  Those boys are all very good looking but kinda naughty!  My favorite is #3, Mitchell-Moose...but he is probably the most naughty!  He is just so dang cute.  i took them swimming once so now every time I see them they ask when I will take them swimming again.  Pretty funny.

Mom and Dad are up in SL today headed home from Luke's baby blessing (Johnny's baby).  They are planning to bring Eldon and Diane home with them.  We are going to go up and meet them with dinner at 6 p.m.  Should be fun.  I made bbq pulled pork, funeral potatoes, rolls, salad and I'll open a can of beans. Should be good. 

Well I hope you are doing wonderful and are happy.  I continue to receive notes from friends that love to read your blog and are so impressed with your dedication to the gospel.  I have a neighbor from NJ that just wrote me again this week to say that I should be very proud of the fine young man you are.  It is so hard to find young people that would dedicate their lives to the Lord.  And it is true.  You are sacrificing so much but you are also going to be blessed so much for your efforts.  Thank you for being that good example to all of us.  You will never know all the people you have influenced for good. 

Love you so much!


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...

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. )
