10/27/24 Pumpkin Painting

Dj has been super cute lately when they FaceTime us.  He always gets really close to the camera and as soon as he seems me he says, "Read me a story, GiGi?, Read me a story?"  In his cute lil sweet 4 year old voice. He and Ellie love to snuggle up in their bed and listen to stories. This picture was our good bye at the end of our story time Sunday evening. 
Monday night was just GPA G, Andy and me. Every year we paint pumpkins for Halloween for as long as I can remember. No kids this year but we still enjoyed painting our pumpkins!

Young women's this week was a stake activity where we had movie in the park. I have been having random fevers lately and Tuesday night I had one again. BUT they didn't have any YW leaders that could go from our ward. So I went down to Middleton Park. It got dark pretty quickly after we arrived and I couldn't see or hear the movie very well so I quietly left after about 1/2 hour. 
Terrible view of the movie screen!


I had bought a pumpkin that we didn't get painted on Monday night so on Wednesday night I painted one more pumpkin. All by myself. (It's kinda weird not having kids around sometime! haha)



Thursday evening we played pickleball at our friend Shane's house. They don't have lights so we could only play until about 7:30 p.m. But it was super fun!!!

I had a really fun weekend planned. I was going to do girl's game night on Friday, Had a whole list of things Saturday including an air show, jazz festival and Halloween Party, and then of course church on Sunday. I missed most all of it!  I had 100 - 101 fever Friday and Saturday evening. (I did get to play pickleball Saturday morning but I felt a little spent while I did it). I am not sure why I keep getting fevers but it makes me tired and achy and sometimes comes with a headache. I think it started back on October 11 (Columbus Day I was down and out too!)  And it's been happening a couple of nights here and there for the past 2 weeks. I'm staying home from church today. Fever is gone but I feel blah so I'm going to try to feel better. We cancelled our Sunday night dinner with everyone so we don't share this...in case it is contagious. 

On the bright side, I feel good in between the fevers! haha

Dad has been sporting a side ache this week and is going in to the dr tomorrow. We're quite the pair!

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a c

09/17/23 Linger Longer, Temple Open House

I l ooked up Iqueque and it looks beautiful!!! Did they save the best for last? I'm excited to see your place and hear about it. It looks like a very fun vacation city -- so maybe people won't be as interested in learning the gospel??? I dunno!  But I was impressed! It was a busy week but productive!   After church last week they had a linger-longer -- we've never done that in any ward I've been in that I recall...maybe when I was a kid (we would stay all day between conferences).  I have heard of it...AJ had it in the Virgin Islands. It was fun. Brother Blaser made tons of cookies and everyone just stayed after and visited for a little while.  Dad met a couple that has a pickleball court in their side yard.  But that yard was too small, so they have to cut off 4 feet...which seems like a lot! haha. We haven't gone up to play with then yet so I dunno! They live on Myrna's hill.  Monday we went to the temple pre-open house.  It was really beautiful and a nice exp
