11/24/09 Dance, college, morning show, computer crash

11/24/2009 letter to Becky

Things are also busy but good here. Holly danced at the festival of trees last night (so cute!!). I don't know if the pix came out but if they did I'll email you one.

She will have a recital here in a week or two. Katie will also have a piano recital. The boys just finished their Eagle Scout projects last month and Dallas is totally done, Bryce can't be done until February ish.

Aj's got a load of school going on -- he's carrying 17 credits, writing for the school paper, Service Club President, going to a student ward (how weird is that?!?) and working for the parks department and the radio station. He was made Elder a week or two ago. Don't see much of him. Only know he is around cause he leaves his shoes out...which dRIVEs me CRaZy!! (I usually return them to his pillow for him...fun games we play with each other, huh!?)

Andy is doing his morning show from 7-8 a.m. everyday. So he is not so much a night owl as he used to be. He says he really likes it. He has to get up and leave the house by about 6:15 a.m.

I'm doing same old stuff with court being busy busy busy. My computer crashed last week and I am now on a MAC. I've been resisting but management made me go this way. It's not so bad. Just different. Like learning stuff all over again. I'm sure I'll be quick at it soon. Already things are starting to come together for me.

We would love to see you. I could probably take off that day. I think it'll be the kids last day of school so they'll be out by 1:15. The pool will be open. We could even do a birthday cake for Holly and Katie. They would love that!!!

Well I'll be in court until who knows what hour so I won't be calling you tonight. But one day soon!!! Take care, love you lots! Shelly

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. )

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north. Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby. Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us. Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week. Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us. More money may come in at a lower rate. We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture. He's been really fussy this past week. Maybe a cold or teeth. I don't know. I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast. He's so independent. He knows what he wants and often gets it. Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City." AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy. I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock. Last two weeks he do...
