Things are crazy as usual.
Yesterday I had off – Columbus Day – had a nice day.  I did some laundry and house stuff but nothing too serious!  Mostly just hung out with Andy and the girls and had a nice day.

Andy and I had a nice Anniversary get-away last Wednesday.  Andy’s parents came and watched the kids from 1 p.m. – 9 p.m. and we went to Mesquite and got a room and had a buffet and went swimming and then went home.  Would have been nice to stay over night but it is TOO much hassle at this stage.


Webelos Day Camp, Dallas Griffin middle

Saturday was Webelos Day camp.  It was pretty cool.  They had 6 stations where they did requirements.  They had a science rotation, made catapults, did art work, learned how to use a knife and build a fire, rope tying and compass use.  They had a catered lunch that was awesome – shredded beef sandwiches, dutch oven potatoes, salad and peach cobbler.

Sunday I substituted for Nursery.  The kids were all very good.  Only had 1 escape and 1 poopie diaper.
This week there is R.S. dinner tonight, AJ has a football game in Cedar City tomorrow – me and the kids will go to Grandma’s all afternoon and help them paint their fence. Thursday is scouts – we are going to the dino Museum and Andy works Thursday night doing a game and then it’s weekend again!

I am sitting in on interviews for our new police department staff all morning tomorrow.

On and on it goes!

Oh yea and we have/had mice…eeeeek!  We caught 4 last week.  We found a hole in the wall that they were coming in through that hopefully closing off will eliminate any future mice.  I had the pleasure of seeing 2 of them running across my floor.  I squealed both times.   I HATE MICE!!!!  Almost makes me wish I had a cat…NOT!

I am walking MWF with our neighbor that has twins that are 1.  We go from 6:10 to 6:50 – after I take AJ to school and before her husband leaves for work – no kids.  It is nice.  I just hope that as it gets colder we don’t both wus out.  I don’t like the cold weather and she can’t go any later…We’ve been doing about 2 miles at a time – I think…I have to measure our route for sure.

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!
