1/28/11 YW, 5th Sunday & Pandesol bread

1/28/11
Well the weeks keep flying by.  Are they for you too!?
I have really enjoyed reading your mission mama's blog.  You even showed up in one of the photos!!!! You look like you are enjoying your time there.  Are you getting to know all the other elders?  Are you doing pretty well with the language now?
I swear it has been a super busy week but I'm trying to think what to tell you about and there just isn't much coming to mind.
Tomorrow we are going to EFY for some spiritual classes.  If there is anything super cool I'll write to you about it.
This week in YW we had 8 come out.  Pretty good crowd.  4 non-members, 4 members.  I have 2 new non-members who are out of town on Sunday at dad's house but are supposedly going to start coming on Wednesday.  They are sisters and pretty cute girls.  Their names are hard though.  Hadia and Nagila or something like that.  They are black.  1/2 anyway.  Really pretty.  They have each come once.  There mom asked that they start being included in everything.  She thought she was a member but it turns out she is not and neither are her kids.
Sunday we are having 5th Sunday meeting and all the women of the church are supposed to go talk about pornography.  The men are supposed to run primary and the YM and left over men are going to meet separately.  Should be an interesting hour for everyone, eh?!
Girls 16 and up are going to the RS meeting, younger get to go to primary.
I printed out a recipe for PANDESAL bread (I think that was the spelling) and am going to try to make it Sunday I think.  Sounds yummy.
Saw the pictures of the donuts you guys had.  Those looked yummy.  Seems like the Carlos' are pretty good cooks.  Do you get to go to the mission home every week?  It's 2 hours right?
Marcus and Laura found out they are having TWINS!!!!  I think they are due around your birthday.  Super cool, eh?  Glad it's her and not me.  Scary!!!  She is so tiny...can't imagine her housing twins!
Do they do valentines day there? Do they have candy hearts and all the usual stuff we have here?
So did you pass the room inspection?  I want to see pictures of your place.  You'll have to figure out how to mail us some home or something.

Take care of yourself and know that you are LOVED and PRAYED for!!!!  So proud of you.  Keep up the good work.  It just makes my day when I think of you and the good things you are accomplishing.  I can't explain the comfort and happiness it is to have a righteous son! So keep on doing good.  Love you so much. Mom.

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...
