Thanksgiving 2025

I think holidays are going to be pretty rough for us this year. Everything is different without my sweetie. I miss him so much!

But I don't want to dwell on things that can't be changed. 

We had lots of fun playing games, making crafts, and cooking...and eating, of course. I am so grateful for all of these things and the 42 fantastic Thanksgivings that came before.

We hope you also had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

Scout's Birthday Weekend, Part 3

We got up at our normal 9:15 and hurried to get breakfast, then we packed up quickly. Checkout time was 11:00 and Scout wanted to get one more swim in before we left the hotel. Since we were in a Hilton, I knew we could ask for a little more time, so I did. They were happy to give us until 11:30 and that gave us a whole hour to swim, I mean sit in the hot tub.


The drive home was uneventful. Scout was in the driver's seat and we dropped off Crafty in Bountiful first. We didn't even have to stop for gas! After we got home, Scout slipped off with K and I spent the rest of the day cleaning up and trying to get things put away. There is just never enough hours in any given day. 

Happy birthday, Scout!!๐Ÿ’•

Scout's Birthday Weekend, Part 2

Saturday started about 9:15. We had to get breakfast before 10:00 or else figure out something else. After we ate, we decided to play Wicked Monopoly. I thought it was fun, but the girls got tired of it quickly, so we put The Wizard of Oz on the TV. Some of them said they had never seen it and since it was a Wicked weekend, we just couldn't let that happen. 


We wanted to eat lunch at Angie's for old time's sake, so at about 1:30 we headed that way. We thought the lunch rush would be just ending, but we were wrong. We ended up waiting a good 20ish minutes.

The food was good, but not as good as I remember.

After we left Angie's, Princess loaded up and headed out. Her Primary Program was on Sunday and she just couldn't miss it. After she left, we did another craft. They were so cute that I have decided to use the  idea for our scout Christmas party. 

We had to add the charms to the chain and then add it to the keychain and the lip gloss. 




For dinner, we decided on Costa Vida. The food was just what you might expect in Mexican food to go, but it filled us up so we could go swimming before it was time to go home.

We had to swim! I mean, I just hang out in the hot tub and the girls do whatever they want. They accuse me of visiting with everyone and I guess I do. I'm
