06/26/11 Bryce's 15!

6/26/11

Bryce is 15!
Wow, busy weekend!  Just got home from Salt Lake City.  Friday night Jonny and Demas had a reception and Saturday Laura had a baby shower.   We got up to SLC Friday night in time for the reception and spent the rest of the evening at the Griffin's back yard.  Saturday morning got up and hung out at Grandpa's house - helped clean up the basement a little and then swam.  Ruth and Robert (her boyfriend) came over -- first time I've met him although they've been serious quite awhile I guess.  Wendy and her family came and swam too.  This morning Jonny and Demas talked in church so we stayed and listened to them before heading home and here we are.  Tired!


Tonight there is youth conference meetings 5-6 for me and 6-7 for me and the boys.  The kids are doing a pioneer trek this year which I suppose will be a challenge (21 miles of walking or so over 3 days, 2 nights).  We'll find out more details today.  I thought I was going to have a pretty good group of kids but I'm finding out that they are dropping out -- I think it sounds too tough and they don't wanna, ya know?
Happy Birthday Boo!
The dreaded computer conversion happened at work this week and honestly...so far...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I of course don't know how to do a lot of things but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what's up.  I think all in all it will be fine.  Within a couple of months I should have things back to the way I like them and it will be like nothing ever happened.  I hope. !!!!
Today's Bryce's 15 birthday and we haven't even gotten to see him until just a minute ago.  I gotta find a minute and go make him a cake and hopefully have a good dinner for him tonight.  Tomorrow morning (as tradition goes) we'll go get Bryce his learner's permit and I'll have me another chauffer!!!! Yippee!!!
You didn't really answer our question last week about what we might could throw in the box to send you.  We have several things but if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.  This box will probably arrive just in time for your birthday so it's ok to let me know what you want!!!!

Well, I hope you are doing wonderful.  You are still prayed for daily and thought of often.  Love you lots! 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. )
