09/15/24 Gravestone is ready

 


It's been a fun, busy week. 

Monday we did our usual Monday Night Pizza - with Eldon&Diane, Grandpa and us over at Pizza Limone. Always yummy. 

Tuesday Dad and I went to a sleep doctor appointment. I have been diagnosed with mild apnea while, as we know, he has severe. He's trying to get another CPap machine since his is probably 15 years old or so. He's just starting the process. I'm at the end. (This was probably my last appointment with them.)

They said because I am mild I have a couple of choices. 1. Sleep on my side. Always. (get a pillow or something that doesn't allow me to sleep on my back - which is where I have problems.) 2. A mouth guard - somehow opens your mouth and doesn't allow you to snore. 3. Lose 10% of my body weight. And finally - do nothing - but may continue to have some ill effects of sleep apnea. 

So...we'll see!  Dad has a sleep test next Friday night where he has to NOT use his CPAP all night. Oy. I might have to sleep in another room! haha

Tuesday night was my work employee appreciation night - I was in charge of putting it together. We had about 175 employees with family members total come. We had two theaters ready for them with soda and popcorn. It seemed like it was a very successful evening. We watched Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. 

Tuesday and Wednesday I covered the court office while they were at BCI training. Needless to say, super busy couple of days as I did Melissa & Ahyria's job and mine too. 

Wednesday night Ben and Laura invited us to their stake BBQ  at Sand Hollow. We had Hamburgers and Hot Dogs and pot luck - lots of food...lots of people!  Nick and his boys were there. After dinner Jack Jack and I played in the pool - we went down the slide and splashed around for about 1/2 an hour. It was fun!

Friday morning the pool cover guys came and replaced my cover and man does it look SO much better!

Friday night we went and visited our newly finished headstone at the home show. Kinda funny!

Saturday we played pickleball and then spent HOURS taking apart the pool cover housing to clean it out. Apparently it was full of so much mud and yuck. Like so nasty. It took a long time to just get the cover off since the screws were stripped. Sigh. But at the end of the day...like 5 p.m. it was finally all cleaned out and put back together. We swam and went to Culver's (had a gift card from my birthday that we finally used!) and then did my Saturday chores while dad watched BYU. 

All in all a pretty great productive week!

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...

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. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
