Amazon to Jack

 The best way to get something to a missionary is from  Amazon.  I sent something from the post office TWO times, and both times it came back undeliverable.  I also sent it to the same address from Amazon and it got there.  Jack needed an under armor 3/4 quarter zip.  Conveniently, I get 40% off at Under Armour this week.  Yes I can do that. 



Should be delivered tomorrow.  


This was his pkg last week.  Had some hair stuff and Nutella Cookies.  Delivered and left outside.  He finally got it.  


Under Armour shipped and ready to go.



Christmas we sent him this dinosaur.  He is so great at Legos.  I sent him a Golf Cart this week.  He put it together in no time.  Way to go missionary.


Sending this next time..








Pedicure

 Started the day at Holiday as usual.  I decided I wanted a donut, but they didn't have any.  I opted for a twinkie.  I only ate one and it was soo good. Breakfast of Champions.


After school, it was Pedicure time.  Marlena wanted her nails done, so Michelle and I get a Pedicure.  

We got the Deluxe, which was gel polish AND about an hour of leg rubs and scrubs and  hot stones and hot towels.  It was absolutely Fabulous. 


Look at my color. 



We got Dinner at Chick Fil A and it was great too.  I didn't get any pics but just take my word it was outstanding.  

Tuesday Club

 Every Tuesday (or sometimes Monday) Brooke and Andrew go to Grandma's house.  They take her to Costco, Physical Therapy (lately since her back surgery), shop at Smith's for her to get her Meds, and of course get Lunch.  Sometimes they play Cards.  

Nick was invited this time because he is home for Spring Break.  They had Wing Stop according to Nick, but looks like Grandma got Cafe Rio.  



Brooke found Grandma's chair at RC Willey.  Such a great chair. 

Grandma tends the Ton when they do the shopping if she's too tired to go.  Weird because she would NEVER have done that years ago. Usually the Ton sits on the couch and looks out the window and waits for Brooke to get home.


Tuckered out after a LONG day

Ton's Birthday

This was Pre back surgery when Grandma could get around better.

Andrew also takes Grandma to her hair appt every Thursday.  Michelle did last week, and all the ladies in there said 'Oh where is your Grandson". After hair, they get McDonalds.

Love that they are taking care of their Grandma.

Golf at Murray Parkway

The weather has been soo great that we are able to get out and golf.  I did find this 3/4 zip up in my closet that I decided to wear because it is blue.  It was a size smaller so it fit better than other things in my closet.  I like the golf motif too.  It was from the Temu. Who would have thought.  


Here's my usual golf wear. . . 


Played at Murray Parkway.  It was beautiful and so great.  I only took one pic.  Not sure it matters that I need to take a bunch but it was fun and love the Parkway.  This is where Jack wanted to play before his mission and we couldn't get on.  We will have to play it when he gets back.

My friend Kim, takes pictures and posts them.  These are her pictures.  They are pretty good.




Nick's home for Spring Break and Rose Park

 Nick came home late on Saturday night.  He said he wanted to chat with Josh and Robert at church.  Ok.  I couldn't figure that out, but it was the start of Spring Break.  Andrew wanted to know if Nick was home, so here's proof that Nick was home.  He was at church with me.  

Here's good advice for me to remember


Andrew decided we needed to play Golf on Sunday.  He and I were going to play, but with Nick coming home, we added Nick and then for a 4 we added Lili.  

Warming up at the driving range.  Andrew said since he is such a great customer, the guy gave him a free large bucket.  

Nick hit a ball almost to the Parking lot.  Good thing he didn't hit any cars.

This is the 2nd hole, which is SUPER long on Redwood road. It is a Par 5.  Kills me.



We decided to walk.  I haven't been walking golf for very long.  So great to get out and walk and be in God's country with my fam.  It would have been better if I had beat all of them.  Nope. Not today


Nick and Andrew getting ready to Tee Up


I did need to rest after the walking.  Andrew is super nice and let's me use the good pull cart.  His has a stool, but he forgot to put the stool on the cart.  He said we were only playing 9 so I didn't need to sit.  Well, yes I do...

I thought Nick needed a pic for his Mutual account. He said he already had one with that shirt on...Can't have more than one pic with the same shirt.  No you can't.  All my golf pics have the same clothes.



Great way to spend a Sunday Afternoon. I suppose we should have stayed home and did Come Follow Me.  We are more golfers than come follow me people.  :)  I did teach primary today so that was some Come Follow Me.

Cinemark Movie Club

About a year ago, I was at the movies and they were advertising the Movie Club.  It sounded kindof stupid, but decided to sign up.  It costs like 11.00 a month, and you get a movie ticket for that 11.00.  Plus you get NO online fees for purchasing tickets.  I think you can purchase up to 6.  You also get 20% off concessions and earn rewards.  

We have been going to more movies.  We have seen a few good ones.  The Accountant was great.  We also saw Anaconda and Crime 101.  Tonight we saw Solo Mia.  


It is such a great thing.  It just gets you out more to see a movie.  I love the app too.
We got a large popcorn and two large drinks.  I had a reward for a free drink, so we got all that
 for $12.00.  

Been thinking of going to the Oscar Movie marathon.  For 40.00 you can see all the movies that are up for an Oscar.  I think there are like 8 or 9.  Great deal.  I probably won't see all of them, but it miht be fun to watch them all.
