07/19/2018 New house? No.

10/11/18 -- So we didn't get the house at 134 Brookhaven Road. We put an offer in back in July and the time expired without our house selling (or even any prospect of selling).  We paid for an inspection and appraisal (money we lost on the deal -- about $800) .  We could have extended it out and started putting large amounts of earnest money down to keep the house "ours" but we just weren't brave enough. We continued to try to sell our house through October and while we had lots of people view the house not one offer was made. We finally decided to take the house off the market for now.  (This home was removed from the market about 2 weeks ago and the Telford's changed their mind about selling their home which we were also considering.) So we are not sure what the Lord has in mind for us except that for now we stay! The good thing that came out of it is that I was able to clean our house top to bottom, get rid of extra junk, and make things nice here. SO for now we'll stay -- which is OK!!! We really do love our house. It's just a bit big for us! The location and the ward is great though and the house is absolutely wonderful. (Except on the day I get the electric bill which has been running over $400/month this summer -- boo!)















































Our house has been on the market since April because Andy felt like it was time to go.  We weren't sure where or when or why, just that it was time. We haven't had any real action (we priced the house a little high) -- but we also hadn't seen anything we were in love with...until this.

So we put in an offer Thursday which was accepted Friday and now we dropped the price of our house and are waiting to see what happens.  Scary!!! Exciting, fun...

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...

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. )

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!
