05/22/23 Baseball Championship Week in Orem, Utah

We had a super busy week...Starting Sunday...headed to Orem to LaQuinta to stay because Dad had to broadcast Monday morning from 6 - 9 a.m. and then do 4 baseball games between noon and midnight. BIG LONG DAY!  







Bryce fed us delicious tacos and AJ & Becca came too. 


Monday I dropped Dad off at BYU for his marathon day and B&M and Momo and I went to spend the day with the twiners. The big twiners while Mama went to the hospital to be with the little girl twinners. We had so much fun! 


Tuesday rinse and repeat for all of us. 












Except Bryce drove up there instead of me this time. He dropped me off at Ruth's house after the day at Dallas' and I had dinner with Lauritos and Ruth and then she took me to her pickleball night. I even got to play some! And it was so much fun!


Hanging with twinners is EXHAUSTING!!! Momo slept A LOT the next two days after our visit! haha. 


I was tired out too! Wednesday I dropped Dad at UVU for 3 more games and then spent the day with B&M and Momo. Which was mostly B and Momo because M had to work (all week...so she was in and out with us!)


I had him give me chores to do -- we cleaned his back porch, weeded and cleaned his front porch, cleaned the kitchen, did some laundry (my own! haha) whatever...just some stuff to keep me busy and out of trouble!


Thursday Dad only had one game so we got Bryce and did Trader Joe's and Winco. More hanging with B&M and Momo. Aj and Becca stopped by after work. 













Funny story...so we were on our way to Trader's but it was lunchtime. So we decided it would be better to eat than go to the stores hungry and stopped in a taco shop that Bryce loves. And who is there...AJ!!!!!!  What the heck! He is there with someone from his real estate work and I just go plop down at their table and I'm like, Hey AJ...you didn't even save me any lunch, what the heck!  His buddy was confused! AJ's like, yeah, this is my mom! And I just randomly stopped in...I wasn't even stalking him... seriously!!! Random WOW!


Thursday night I took Dad to his game and then went to Walmart and tried on like 18 dresses...they had some really cute ones that were totally great up top (unusual!!!) but...TOO SHORT! aagh.   I finally found two that were almost not too short and bought those, only $8 each!!! I'll have to send you  a pix next time I wear them. 

Turns out one is just like one Holly picked only in a different color. And I thought we had such different taste. 


At like 9 p.m. Thursday night after I got done shopping...my throat started tickling. And my head started hurting. And my nose was snuffy. Ugh. I had to cancel my Friday with my babies!!!! And Baby Amelia came home Wednesday too!!!! 


And I didn't get to hold baby Momo the rest of the weekend. So sad. 


But they did let me hang out and still enjoy time with everyone so that was good. We hung out at Bryce's the remainder of the weekend. 


Another Funny Story: Momo is soothed by white noise played on the phone by Bryce or Marlee (interesting...never had that when I had babies!!!) -- also EFFECTIVE... surprisingly works quite well. Holly came over and played a video of a ceiling fan spinning round and round (no noise)...SAME EFFECT!!!! What the heck!?!  It's like Baby hypnotizing






!


Bryce blessed Momo on Sunday at 9 a.m. He sent out a link to Gpa, Gpa & Suzanne, D&M, E&D...and they turned off the feed for the blessing. NOOOOOOO. So disappointed. It was short and beautiful. He said a lot about her life being joyful and happy and having what she needed in life and that her heavenly father loved her. 


We had a nice coscto muffin and fruit with drinks afterward at the park. Really nice event all around. 


We headed home around noon and got to St. George by 3:30 or so. Relaxed and jumped right into another busy week. Whew!


The speaker in sacrament meeting was widowed 24 years into her marriage (probably had young kids and he was likely around 45) - fast forward about 20 years and she's about 60 or 65 now and still alone. She lived with different of her kids and help raise her grand kids. She was really delightful little lady. She talked about knowing that you are a child of god and how much like Jesus you are. She had a children's book that basically said...jesus prayed...I can pray too, I'm just like Jesus.  And it went through a bunch of scenarios. It was a neat talk. I hope that I can have a good influence on my grand kids like she did on hers.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

07/28/25 MRI interpretation

Andy had an MRI but to get a surgeon to interpret it was going to be a long wait...like 6 weeks. Andy has a friend who works in radiology. He had Andy over to his office and explained what was going on with Andy's back. He said the two places where Andy had previous surgeries were showing problems just above the surgery (apparently common but nobody told Andy that originally).  He had a third spot that was also degenerating. So lower, mid and upper spine all have issues.  We are trying the spinal decompression route currently in hopes of avoiding surgery.  These spinal issues are probably the reason for many of Andy's other ailments.

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
