10/20/24 Ghastly! haha...and FaceTime with Mo

Me, Olivia Jones, and Mia Wilcox
 It's weird how time is...seems to be fast then slow. Or go slow and pass quickly. It's hard to explain. But this week it felt like a regular week, kind of that wasn't too action packed!  

Kisses from mo to pops 
and back!
Sunday we had E&D, AJ, GPA and us for dinner. Perfect for our table of 6.  It's hard when we get more cause then somebody's on the folding chairs or at the bar stools. E&D are heading out on a 10 day excursion with Elderhostel so we won't see them for the next Mon, Sun, Mon while they go touring So. Utah. 

We just had AJ, GPA and us for dinner - so a little gathering -- at Slice House in the Zion Stip Mall. Quick and uneventful. Aj's been kind of bummed lately so he wasn't real talkative and didn't stay long. He has been going to tons of YSA activities -- so that's good!  

Monday was Columbus Day and I had off but Dad had to work. Usually I would be all over that with projects - but I was kind of bleh. I did walk my 3 miles then come home and take a long hot bath. Then I rearranged and cleaned up the back porch. And took a outside nap. Then I did dishes and cleaned the kitchen and took a nap. I guess every once in awhile life catches up with me!

Tuesday we also just did the usual work and then hang out. 

Wednesday was a busy day. Dad had football games (fall break they do them early in the week). So he was busy until almost midnight. (too much for a work week day!) He and AJ broadcast together so that's fun and cool but getting home so late is rough when you have to start at 5 a.m. all over again.

I had YW and we took the girls (and boys) up to the gardens. They are decorated for Halloween so I really enjoyed it!  We broke up into little groups (so my pictures mostly have the same 4 of us in them) and then met at the end. We were scavenger hunting for a list of halloween things (ghost, pumpkin, etc). Cute and fun and easy activity. Highly recommend!

Thursday and Friday were quiet again with not much going on. Friday I came home with a migraine (I don't get headaches, or migraines, so this was a weird development.)  It was a total bummer too because Dad had off and I couldn't bring myself to do anything but sleep or sit on the couch. Tylenol helped a bit but ended up doing nothing. Dad brought me back and Ike's Sandwich (he had to go into work and it was by Fabulous Freddy. But I was rather non-functional.  (I did have a chiropractor adjustment on Thursday and I read that toxins can release and cause this. I think that may have been it as I was suffering from a shoulder that was very painful and out of place and he knocked it back into place ... or something?! )  

Saturday, thank goodness...I'm BACK!  Pickleball, mopping, cleaning pool, playing in pool, enjoying outdoor, laundry...I felt good and myself again. 

Gettin ready for another Sunday with early meetings (Stephanie Wilcox was out of town...so ward council) and family dinner.

Funny story...during church today just Theo came back. He was happy to eat his famous amos cookies and have me read him stories. Then he got out stickers. He was really enjoying it.  And starting really dancing...(the pee pee dance...you know that one, right?)  I leaned over several times and asked if he needed to go potty. Nothing.  So he was REALLY dancing...and I was like THEO, we gotta take care of this. I got up and grabbed his hand and walked him back to his mom and told her about the dancing. She took him potty and came back and was like THANK YOU!!!! He REALLY needed to go! Know your dance moves! Emergency averted!

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!
