09/22/14 Piano lessons and salsa

Holly getting ready to cook
Hey Bryce!
This week was much less eventful than last week.  No robberies, flooding...oh but there was a giant sink whole opened up over on Sunset Blvd.  A big truck drove into it (but didn't fall in) and the road gave way.  25' wide and 14' deep. It is over by the gas station and the movie theaters on the way to Aunt Laura's house. I think the road is still closed one or two lanes.  Crazy.


We just had a usual week.  The YM/YW did a foster care carnival on Friday night from 5-9 p.m.  The girls volunteered and did face painting.  The boys ran some balloon pop games and fishing booth and stuff.  The kids had a nice time.  It was pretty fun.  Still hot here...didn't really cool off until close to 9 p.m. when it was over. We were the later shift and I was glad.  5-7 was probably really hot.
Made yummy treats, now time to eat them!
Holly arrived and put the smiley face in your letter. She says hi and has a big goofy grin on her face!!! She loves you!  
Both girls slept in this morning. BOTH claimed the alarm didn't go off...WHAT?!  I don't know what I fed them last night but they seem to have been knocked out cold.




I took a piano lesson last week from Dawn Wright trying to get more prepared for primary practice.  It was fun. I think I was over there like 2 or 2 1/2 hours.  It went really fast.  I tried to pay her and she refused, said she was counting it as her church calling for the next couple of weeks and then if I want to continue I can pay her.  
I got a hymn book for you today.  AJ says he has one too.  So hopefully soon we'll get those to you.  
We made 21 jars of salsa Saturday.  One of them cracked when I dropped it into the boiling water.  I've never had that happen before.  I guess AJ can come visit again (we were out!).  
Cotton candy at the park with friends...that's the life!
Girl scouts moved to Monday for the next 2 months so we have G.S. today RIGHT after work.  It's going to be tricky to get everything ready and be prepared...there won't be any in between time like before.


Speaking of which it's 20 after 7 and I'm stinky and need to shower and motor out of here for work.  
Love you lots.  Hope you are doing wonderful.  Let us know if there is anything you need.  
Katie just came flying in here...I NEED MY SAXAPHONE QUICK!!!!  And sprinted upstairs. (Her bus was waiting for her).  Oh, boy.  Gonna be one of those days for her I'm afraid.  
Oh yea, almost forgot.  Yesterday was the Ogden temple dedication.  (Did you guys get to see that?  We are thinking, no).  We got to hear from the prophet and Eyring and some others. It was a good meeting. Kind of helped remind us to attend the temple that we are so blessed to live so close to and they pronounced a blessing on the saints. I really enjoyed it.


Well, I gotta run.  But Holly would rather type than practice her piano so she'll sign off...XOXO 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. )
