06/19/22 Just a regular week

Another week has quickly passed. Hopefully it's been a good one for you!

We had a fun youth activity last week. They played pudding pictionary. Kind of cool, kind of disgusting!!!  They gave them church words and they competed to draw the picture and get their team to guess it. Afterward they played a video. 

Monday we had dinner with Gpa and Eldon and Diane. We got papa John's and brought it back to Gpa's house. 

Tuesday dad got checked up again by the vein dr and given the all clear. He still has to get some kind of machine for his leg to help with the lymphodema. Bleh. I guess it's nice that a machine can do it. When my mom had that she had to have ladies come over and massage her arm 3X a week. 

Relief Society was Tuesday evening and we made emergency kits to put in the car. Kinda like in a pickle pack on steroids.  Got to hang out with some fun ladies and eat treats. 

Dad and I got covid booster shot on Tuesday and by Wednesday I had a 101 fever and just felt kinda blah for about 2 days afterward. It was lake day for YW though so I took some tylenol and just kept going.  I wasn't gonna miss that! haha. 

We had a nice time at the lake -- they had about 7 kayaks and some tubes along with hot dogs and watermelon. Nothing amazing food wise but lots of fun. 

Thursday evening we went to Rib and Chop with dad's friend Ike and his wife. They treated us because Dad got him some account that was going to give him lots of commissions. 

I finished up with my health coach. I lost maybe 6 pounds in 6 months. So slow. But she taught me some good strategies and hopefully I can keep trying and lose a little bit more weight. 

Holly was supposed to come down Saturday but she didn't feel well so she stayed home. Neal and Cheryl came for dinner tho along with Gpa and we had a really nice time. Neal was in a wheel chair and is starting to say some things that don't make sense but overall it was good to have them. 

Today everyone was somewhere else. Gpa to Lauras. All the kids were at home. So we had Randy and Kay over and had a nice dinner just the four of us. 

We thought we might get to hear from you today but it's getting late so we're thinking not. 
Hope your day was great! 

Tell me about your week!  How's the food? How's the weather? Are you getting the language?   How much money do they give you and how often? Are you finding it is enough? Were you ever able to get the tag off your coat? Can't wait to hear from you! 

We love you lots!

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. )

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...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week.  Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us.  More money may come in at a lower rate.  We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture.  He's been really fussy this past week.  Maybe a cold or teeth.  I don't know.  I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast.  He's so independent.  He knows what he wants and often gets it.  Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City."  AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy.  I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock.  Last two weeks he do...
