08/30/15 Moving into the new house for D & M!

08/30/15

We received your shipment of shirts from Spokane Mission!!! Thank you! Tell me for sure who you sent them for so I get them distributed properly.

Our week has been busy with moving Dallas and McKayla in to their new home. The house is right behind Wal-mart hill in a new little community. It is a beautiful condo with about 1800 sq ft 3b 2.5 bath.

We thought it was still in our stake in the 7th ward but it turns out the little river between the condo community and the last house in the stake is the line. So they will go to the church up in Green springs. Crazy huh!? We were looking forward to them being in the 7th ward with Spriggs and Seegmillers and lots of other people that know and love them. Bummer.

Dallas sliced his finger at work Friday morning so he spent a good portion of the day at insta care. He never complained about it though and just worked away at work and moving after it happened.

Marlee came over for dinner Wednesday night. We had a nice visit. Katie made cupcakes for her birthday and we gave her a little first aid kit to take on her mission. Her farewell is coming up pretty quick...like 4 weeks now I think.

Dad got asked to speak in Sacrament meeting today...and me and Aj and Holly will too. It seems like we talk in church a lot! Katie gets to not talk because she did a youth talk a couple of weeks ago.

Our talks are about how service in the church has brought us peace and happiness. Or something like that. I attached Holly's talk and my talk for ya.

AJ came down for the weekend. We got to sing happy birthday to him (24!!!!). He got to go on a couple of dates -- haven't heard how they went and help Dallas move and go to football game with Dad. He will stay through dinner today probably and then head back up to Provo.

Hope everything is going well there. Excited to hear lots of details about your new comp and how things are going!!

Love you! 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!
