02/29/16 SUPAF and state basketball tournaments

02/29/16
We enjoyed our dinner at the Phillips' house last Sunday.  They made lasagna and salad and strawberry pie.  All very delicious.  We were able to stay and visit awhile and then headed over to Gma's house and stayed a little longer.  Eldon stopped in briefly but didn't see much of him before he was gone again.

Monday the girls had SUPAF dress rehearsal concert at DHHS.  They did a good job.  I am amazed at what Mrs. Hodek can do with the kids that have only been playing 6 months.  They sounded great. And they looked great too.  Takes a special person to be able to stand all the commotion and not be insane.  I went with Holly's class Wednesday to the actual SUPAF competition and that was more than enough kids for me for a long time!  They were good but so busy and noisy!  It was fun to hang out with Holly. She's so grown up!

Wednesday night Dad and I went to cold stone creamery and walked the mall while the girls were at YW.  We knew Dad was going to be busy all week so we thought we better take our date early.  It was nice to hang out and eat ice cream together.  

Thursday, Friday and Saturday Dad worked a TON.  He left early each day and went up to Cedar City and then spent all day covering games both on the radio and not.  Then he would write up the games.  When he finally got home very late he would then stay up until 5 a..m. give or take publishing all the tournament stuff plus whatever else has been going on in the area (U of U, BYU, Dixie, rugby, etc).  Crazy!!!!

The girls and I had a pretty mellow quiet week while he was gone.  We went to Costco for dinner Thursday and did a little shopping.  The girls babysat Friday night for the bishop's family.  Dawn Wright and I went to Brad Wilcox, Why I believe, fireside at the tabernacle.  It was really good.  Saturday we did some yard work and took the little girls swimming.  Katie did homework.  She really wants all  A's all the time everywhere. And she's not afraid to work for it!

Yesterday we had dinner at Gma and pa's house and enjoyed pork and mac and cheese among other things.  Delicious and fun.  It's so nice to just hang out and visit. McKayla even got to hang out with us.  She wasn't feeling well so she didn't go to work last night.  Usually she can only stay 1/2 hour or so.  

The girls are keeping busy and soccer season is just around the corner so it should be even busier soon.  I think they might get to be on the same team again.  I am really hoping.  I've been really liking that this year. 

Well I got too busy yesterday so now it's Monday morning and I'm due to be at work in 11 minutes so I better sign off. Love you lots!!!!

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. )
