Father's Day

 Love a good Father's day.  Brooke said this sweater was ok to wear.  It has a green skirt on and is super cute.  


After church, I watched the US open golf Tournament.  I used this blanket that was made from all my dads shirts.  Thought it was appropriate


Got home and Andrew had put together this bike for me that I bought during Covid 6 years ago at the Costco.  

Found this note on it.  I soo appreciate it.  Love it.



Then Monday we headed to Grandma's house so Brooke and Andrew could do help her and do her shopping.  I went for the lunch.

I get there and here are the posters they put up for me.  They celebrate Father's day for me because I'm the Mother and the Father.  


These treats were on the table. ALL my favorites.  Love that they think of me.  There was also a note for TerraLynne.  Brooke and I are going next Monday. 

And a huge bag of JUST twin snakes!  

Ton and Andrew under the chairs.  We ate in the living room because Nick broke the chair in the kitchen when Brooke was helping him buy a plane ticket.
Got the Jersey Mikes today.  


Ty and Nick joined for lunch too.  Nick was leaving for Golf in a few minutes.  I hope he doesn't die because it's so hot out there.

Grandma had a Salted Nut Roll that I brought a week ago.  My dad LOVED Salted Nut Rolls.  Me too.

Transfers and all that - Jack's email from Alaska

Hey everyone! This was another really good week. If you read my email last week, my comp and I were pretty much babysitting another elder. We had got rid of him on wednesday which was pretty good for us. We were not nearly as stressed as we were last week with him haha. Anyways this week was transfer week. We got news and I will be transferring to the fairbanks ysa and 2nd ward. Double covering, I was also assigned as a zone leader so that should be good. I am going to miss elder horne so much he is like a brother to me. We been through highs and lows and he has helped me in so many ways. But let's get into the highlights of this week.

Highlights:
- I gave a father's day talk and the mission president showed up to it 

- Tyler is still working with us even tho we have some bumps in the road 

- we had little time to go finding but still somehow found people this week. 

Low lights:

- said bye to the members of the girdwood branch, I'll miss that branch a lot 

- gonna miss my awesome companion

Anyways thats pretty much it from me. It was a good week and i have just loved the area I've been in 

Spiritual thought: Matthew 14 
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

I like this because Peter only sunk because he lost his faith and got scared. Sometimes we are nervous or afraid because we are lacking faith. Faith is what leads to miracles. 

Join the photos!! Reach out to me!!

Abi and Brody go to Hawaii

 Got this pic from Abi the other day.  She was at Fazoli's.  Love that.  I asked her where that was and she was at the Airport heading to Hawaii.  What? 


Then I got this.  They are on their way.





Pearl Harbor - So fun and learned a lot.  The best combo










They are back home safe and sound.  Had a great time.  Always glad when everyone is home.

50 more days of Summer Vacation

Saturday started the day early at Eaglewood Golf Course.  It was a bit windy but beautiful.  

Always think of Jack and Eaglewood becaue he worked there after High School.  Hopefully he can work there again when he gets off his mission.  I had to rake the sand traps this time.  I didn't rake when he worked there.  He could do it...



Course was in really great condition.

Hitting the ball OVER the group on front of us and landing on the green.  Lucky they didn't come after him for hitting into them.  Well over them..



After golf, we went to Taco Amigo for Strawberry shakes.  Decided to get food too.  Taco Amigo reminds me of Mark and my dad too.  After my dad's funeral, on our way back from Spanish Fork, we stopped at Taco Amigo to get a strawberry shake.  No one was ready to go home yet.  They are the best strawberry shakes I have had.  Not sure they are worth 7.50 though.


After Taco Amigo we ventured to the Farmer's Market in Provo.  Farmers Markets are hit or miss.  I didn't buy anything.  I Like to buy stuff that isn't fruits or vegetables..I'm not going to carry watermelon or a dozen ears of corn around. I like jewelery or decorations or lotions.  But I didn't see any.  It was fun to just walk around and see the stuff people try to sell and wonder if they make any money.

On the way home, we decided to stop off and see a movie.  We went to Toy Story 5.  It opened the day before.  It was super cute and fun to see.  

Then that night, I went to Red Lobster with my BFF Lynne to celebrate Fathers day.  We celebrated our dads.  Both of our dads are dead.  Our friend Jen couldn't go but her dad is dead too.  She said next time we could celebrate her dad Dave.  :)

54 more days of Summer Left

Started today out in the Hotworx. I have been doing a cycling class before Pilates.  I love Chris on the left side.  I can't do all the cycling but I'm trying to get there.


Then headed to Pilates.  Love my new Blue Towel.


I have been working on the shower.  It is YUCK.  It has been a chore since I have such hard water and no water softner. It died a few years ago.

So I cleaned and sprayed with this dawn and vinegar solution that I read about online.  It did a great job on the shower doors that are glass.  Not so great on the rest of the shower.  I had to use Lemi shine hard water and a bunch of elbow grease.


These are the doors after I sprayed them with the Dawn/vinegar mixture.


Decided to once again, clean out the drain.  Those drain cleaner tools are so great.  That is mostly me I think.  I'm the only one that uses that shower.  Total YUCK.  So fufilling to pull that gross glob out though

Watched the US Open golf Tournament while I was doing all of this.  

I watched at Marlena's house first then headed home to clean the shower.  Summer Break is super exciting.

55 More Days of Summer Vacation

I still have 55 days of summer vacation left.  Andrew and I rug doctored his chair he got at Grandma's house.  We also rug Doctored our cars.  The cars are soo yuck. Thanks to Melanie for renting the Rug Doctor and leaving it in her basement for over a year and then dying.  

I did purchase the attachment so we could do the chairs, stairs, cars and smaller places.  It worked like a charm.  


After that, we headed to the movie theater.
We watched the Michael Jackson movie.  It was fantastic. I think I loved it because I relive the 80s when I grew up.
Michael Jackson was just soo great.  Andrew gave it an 8/10.  Me too.  I might have given it a 9/10.  
I hate that Joseph Jackson. And his mother too...

Then I worked on the yard.  Look at our horrible yard.  I watered it.


When I turn the sprinlers on, I like to sit in the Garage.  It is cool, and no one can see me if they walk by.  There is a cat that wanders around that I don't like in my yard unless you are getting mice.  
This is my view.  Love it.  

This is the garage I need to clean.  That's on the agenda.  


I also had a lunch date.  It was fun we went to some place in Sugarhouse.  I got a Salmon sandwich.  Wierd but soo good.  

I wore this.  Jim said it was ok.  I also wore some pink vans I have had since 2020 and never wore. They were great.  I'm putting them in the rotation.  I need to clean up the bathroom too.  :)



Then we went to Golf Galaxy to look at their shirts and whatever else they have.   I got some golf tees.  The clothes for women were only ok so I didn't get any.
