02/01/16 Letter from Katie to Bryce

Hi Bryce!
How've you been? I have been super busy between keeping my grades up and piano and band stuff. Mr Lanners is... not my favorite person. But I deal with it and next year I get Mr Paxman and he's supposed to be way more mature and chill so I'll endure to the end (of eighth grade, that is). 

So as of right now I don't get to play my soprano sax much but after supaf I should get to play it plenty. In the mean time I'm playing my alto. I pretty much have no chance without a lot of hard work of getting on the high school basketball team in a few years but I've moved on from that dream. I want to be an all state band member some day. I want to be that girl that everyone thinks is insanely obsessed with music. 

I'm super excited for seminary next year and I've been working on playing hymns so that I can do it for seminary next year. I've seen a sad change come over many of my classmates. They use vulgar language they dress immodestly they do other things they shouldn't be doing but my group of friends are pretty much all super mormon-ish and so I'm all good. I have seriously figured out life. I've started reading two chapters of the Book of Mormon daily as well as writing in my journal daily and remembering to say my prayers in the mornings (which has always been a struggle for me for whatever reason). 

My room is spotless pretty much all the time and I actually do my hair every day. It's hard to believe you've only been gone for a year and a half, I feel like I've grown up and matured so much since you left. I feel like a different person altogether not to mention you've never met Kayla. 
I'm still into Harry Potter and frozen but I've recently added Star Wars to the list. I think Luke skywalker is like the greatest movie character ever. Except maybe Elsa that is. Just remember that your attitude is your choice and if you want a good day you need to make it a good day. If you are struggling with attitude, depression, homesickness or whatever the solution is simple just turn to Heavenly Father and turn to the Book of Mormon and other scriptures. My estimated finish time for the Book of Mormon is March 3 and for personal progress is August 18 stay strong stay faithful stay Bryce love you bro! 
-Katie

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!
