09/08/14 Provo conference & Dallas meets McKayla

09/08/14

Hey Bryce! How are you?

I'm sitting in room 631 at the Marriott Hotel in Provo waiting for my conference to start at 10:30 this morning. Me and dad got to take a quick trip up here all by ourselves. Met AJ last night and ate his left over date food...cafe rio burrito. It was yummy but cold.

Trying to remember what went on this week...seems like we've been super busy but I can't think of what we were doing! Haha.

The girls and I went to a bridging ceremony, hot dog roast and then swam in a pool and a pond last Friday night for about 4 hours. Then we went to a movie in the park. It was fun. Love deer haven camp. It's the same one we went to this summer. So fun.

Dallas has a new girl he is dating that he found on snap chat. Makayla from West Jordan. She is living by herself in a condo in St. George going to Dixie College. She is 18. Her dad is assistant chief police up in Cotton wood I think. I told Dallas he doesn't want to mess with a cops daughter...he carries a gun and a taser! She seems very nice.

He has been keeping super busy with school and work and girl. He did go fishing with Grandpa on Saturday up to Enterprise. They had a nice time. Even caught and released a few fish.

Holly seems to enjoy Mr. Ivie..although he said her class is a real challenge. Bunch of misbehaved nitwits. Has to spend a lot of time on discipline and can't have as much fun as he would like.

Things are same old same old here really. Everybody doing school and piano and choir and homework and blah blah blah...the usual.

I hope you are staying busy and happy there. We are getting ready to send off a little something...do you need anything? Or just want something that fits in a little box? Haha.

We are very proud of you and love you and pray for you. Keep up the good works! Love 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...

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. )

03/29/15 6 months scanning project...done!!!!

3/29/2015 I can't believe another week has gone by. I don't think I took any pictures this week. I'll have to go look and see. Before... So it was a busy week at work. We completed our 6 month project of scanning all the files in the office. Whew. Pretty awesome feeling. I have an assistant Sara (since January); a volunteer Sheron; and a court ordered worker to thank for getting me through this project. I did lots myself but I probably would have taken at least a year to get it done without their help. We are going to have a thank you/celebration lunch tomorrow. City is buying pizza. Piles of files to scan Thursday we had the relief society birthday party and the girls were invited. So we ate dinner at church while dad went to work. It was also the day before Dallas' 20th birthday so he, dad and McKayla went to Carl's for a big burger. I think it was probably a pretty lame birthday day for him this ...
