Greatest Dad of all TIME

 Happy Father's day to the greatest dad of all TIME!
This year's father's day revolved around the theme of time: opening a gift every hour on the hour that correlated with the assigned time to open the gift. 

The gifts started at 7:00 a.m. and went all day, every hour until 8:00 p.m. when I had to take off and drive to Pendleton for the night. I had to get to Salt Lake City for my own Father's Day celebration the following day! I was also headed to Utah to bring Karsyn home from BYU for the summer!
Here are the list of gifts Scott received throughout the day:

7:00 A.M. 
You've often been found driving kids to school at this hour because they either slept in, it was raining hard or they needed to get to Seminary. (Car Freshener)
8:00 A.M.
We are grateful for all the early morning SHOC 5K walk/runs we did as a family every August (running shirt)


9:00 A.M.
Thanks for teaching us the value of hard work by waking us up "Bright and early" on Saturday's for yard work (Garden Hose)


10:00 A.M.
You were often found at this time of the day on Saturdays coaching your son's in basketball or football (TrailBlazers Basketball long-sleeve T-shirt)

11:00 A.M.
You are usually found at the hospital or medical office at this time of day healing people and saving lives (Prescription bottle full of chocolate)

12:00 P.M.
Lunch date with dad = Panera date!
(Panera gift card)


1:00 P.M.

We would often get a text about this time of day from you while we were still at school  - you were just checking in to see how our test or project went that day!                                                  ("Founding Brothers" book to continue learning)


2:00 P.M.

Even though we don't want to admit it, we look back on all those Saturday afternoon hikes with fondness. (Hiking water bottle and carrier)



3:00 P.M.

Fun memories of a spontaneous game of golf when you got off work early. (golf tees)

4:00 P.M.
You were such a great example of keeping the Sabbath Day holy and a day of rest by falling asleep on the couch by 4:00 pm every Sunday. (Bath Fizzers)


5:00 P.M.

We love those calls we get from you as you are driving home from work, just to say you love us. 
(Car phone charger)


6:00 P.M.

Dinner time on Vacations with you is the best! Shakes for everyone! Every day!
(home delivery of 6 healthy home-cooked meals for when mom was gone that week)


7:00 P.M.
A full day at work and then off to church for a full night of interviews! Thanks for you example of service and faith dad! (Two new ties for work and church interviews)

And even after the entire day of gifts revolving around TIME and dad being called the greatest dad of all TIME, he never guessed that all these gifts were just leading up to his real gift...an apple watch!


Happy Father's Day dad! You really are the greatest dad of all TIME! We love you!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
