09/09/12 Settling in to the new house

9/9/12

I guess transfers are happening this week, right?

Bryce, Dallas and Andy enjoying the new furniture

Taylor will be home on Wednesday and Elder Campos is shipping out of here too. WOW!!!

Been keeping busy this week with work and the house. Seems there is always lots to do everywhere I go!

We got our living room furniture this week so there is somewhere to sit downstairs. I must say...it is REALLY comfy!!! Still waiting for our bed but delivery is scheduled for Monday at 1 p.m. Yeah!!!

Now we got to get busy getting your room ready!!! So far you have a big oversized, overstuffed chair. I want to get a queen bed so that when company comes they will use your room (you'll probably be off to college a lot anyway!)

Dave approached me and said you can come back to work as soon as you are ready! I told him you'd probably be ready the week after you get home...is that true? I just think you will go crazy if you don't have something to do after being so busy as you've been for so long! I want to take off a couple of days and hang with you but then after that everybody is pretty much gone all day every day around here. Anyway it is exciting to think about and I hope it isn't too premature and going to make you homesick and trunky. Don't worry about stuff here...we'll get it all figured out for you!

I got your whitening kit yesterday at walmart and I have your cc and the access #. Just waiting for dad's magazine to print and then we'll send off your final package. Was there any other requests? I can't remember.

I start my new calling today...teaching Holly's class on Sunday (and achievement days during the week). She is pretty excited to have me as her teacher.

Went to CeCe Stevens 1st b-day party yesterday. They had a huge crowd of people. And great food!

Dallas is still too serious with his gfriend. Doesn't listen to me. Need you to come talk some sense into him! He needs his big bro guidance.

Bryce is doing great in school and might get to start at the city soon. He had an interview Friday and has to finish his application and stuff. He applied to a bunch of other places and he is hoping to get offered something somewhere else. We shall see.

Well gotta get the kids ready for church and head out! 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...

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. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital. We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.) Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID! What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis. That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?! We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning. About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
