February 20, 2017 Becky and I had a fun visit.  She was a trooper and stayed at work with me all week (poor thing...already decided when she comes back next year I'm taking a day off!!!).  We took 2 hours off and went shopping at Kohls, DI and Ross.  Ended up finding some cute skirts and blouses for Becky at Ross.  We got a matching skirt!!!  Not that we'll ever wear it at the same event but maybe we will?!  Who knows?!   Kevin and Becky came for BBQ night and we had yummy dinner and then played  jackbox.tv .  That is a really fun interactive game that allows 8 people to all play a computer game together on the TV.   AJ is off to Texas to present his thesis at some conference.  So he's gone for the week now until Saturday I think.  He'll be flying out at 8:30 tonight.  I had off today -- YEAH!!!  I got up and went to the gym and did a weight lifting class. Then I came home and spent 4 hours trimmi...

Who was interested in who first: Grandpa Grandpa asked Grandma out at the swimming pool they both worked at.  Grandpa thought he'd be super smart. He found out Grandma's first name (Jean) and then went to the time cards to find out her last name.  He found a Jean Baker and started teasing grandma saying, "I know your last name!"  She said, Oh yeah, what is it? And he said Baker!   Of course he was wrong, Jean's last name was Bahr (her true first name is Marva).  Grandpa made lots of jokes about Jeans after that! Who is most sensitive: Grandpa Grandpa is very aware of Grandma's needs and always super sensitive to what she might want or need.  Grandma is more sensitive to everyone else: She is always worrying about everyone else and afraid she might have hurt their feelings.  She is very perceptive to others and always interested in what's going on in their lives.  Who has the worst temper? Grandma Gordo...

Aj and Helena Haueter came down from BYU to visit over the weekend.  Friday night Andy worked and Holly had a party so Aj and Katie and Mom and Helena headed to Sullivan park for a walk up to the Hell Hole.  It was a lot of fun.  Afterward we went to Albertson's and AJ treated us to some ice cream.  The car sounded kind of clunky and I asked him about it but he just turned up the radio and said it was fine.  The next morning AJ and Helena headed to Zion National Park for a hike.  They got almost all the way there when AJ tried to apply the brakes and they weren't working properly.  Apparently something broke...but not what mom was complaining about the night before...cough, cough.  Luckily the traffic they were trying to stop for moved on before the car got to them and AJ was able to stop and pull over.  Also fortunately Helena had AAA insurance which gives a free tow up to 200 miles.  So they towed the car back to St. George, borrowe...
