06/12/2022 Hot week!

It was good to talk to you last week and know that you arrived safely. I think I was a little stressed about it but didn't realized until I heard from you and I got less stressed!

Dad seems to finally have fought off his most recent infection and is doing well and seems to be improving. Yeah!!!! Hopefully he can keep it up!

At work we interviewed and hired a new gal for the prosecution. I really like her and have heard great things about her and am excited to have her move over to our staff! She has a better job at her current employment but it is harder and she has a young family so I think she will really like this change.

Dad spent the week getting ready for the cash/cruise get away for work. The party was Saturday morning. We had pizza and donuts and soda. It was SO HOT! Like 106. Oy! We were VERY toasty! This cute lil old 86 year old lady won and she was adorable. She is a widow so she will likely take her kids with her if she gets to use it.

We had Mindy and Darrin (the lady that took my job in the court) over for dinner and it was fun. Dad smoked meat (of course!!) and we had some yummy sides. It was a nice meal and they are a super cool couple.

Bryce and Marlee came to town and hung out with us -- swam and went to the HOT party. Marlee had a reception for a HS friend so they went to that Saturday. Holly, Erik, Bryce, Marlee, Gpa, Eldon, Diane and me and dad had Sunday dinner together.

We have some new leaders for YW/YM activities and they are doing a really good job. They did pudding pictionary and then showed a little movie What hatchet covers are keeping you from reaching your full potential? -- found on LDS website. HIGHLY recommend! It was an excellent activity.

Anywho...I just got distracted for 1/2 hour with YW stuff!

Hope you are having a great time! Love you! Love you!❤

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!

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. )
