8/25/04 Update on life to Karen Hoffman

8/25/2004 LETTER TO KAREN VASCONEZ (FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL)
Shelly and Baby Holly
Hey I really enjoyed the why men shouldn't babysit pictures.  We have one or
two of our own we could add to that!  I had one I wanted to send you of
Katie in the fridge buck naked - but I am at work and I guess that one never
got sent here.  So I sent a couple of other fun pictures.

Did you know Becky had twins last October 31?  Two little spooks, Sydney
(girl) and Sam (boy).  They were 6lb14 oz and 8 lb 3 oz or something like
Kevin and Becky Chase Famiy
that - poor girl was HUGE.  Course with 15 lb of baby, what do you expect???
I love that picture of the two of us pregnant together.  That was 2 or 3
weeks before she delivered.  And 8 or 9 weeks before I delivered my 9 lb 13
oz girl.

So how are things going there?  Do you still have the 2 little girls or have
you had some more?  Are you in Florida or New Jersey now?  Are you enjoying
life?  How old are the kids now and what are they up to?  Do you do that
dance thing or anything like that?

We are busy here - I'm still working - just got a "title increase" and a
merit raise.  I haven't had a raise in 2 years so thankfully this will be a
nice raise.  Couple dollars an hour, theoretically.

The boys are doing boy scouts and cub scouts and AJ plays TUBA.  That thing
is huge.  His bus driver told him he can't bring it on the bus anymore!!!
Becky belly and Shelly belly!

Katie is potty training and Holly is teething.  Fun...

Katie will be 3 at Christmas time and Holly will be 1.  They are adorable
and fun.

Andy is still doing broadcasting and sports writing and his season just
Katie
started last week.  So I'll be a lonely woman for many months...if you can
really be lonely with 5 kids!

Anymore it takes me all night Friday and part of Saturday morning to do the
laundry and house cleaning so the time goes pretty quickly.

Well if you have digital photos of the kids etc, send me some.  I'd love to
see you and Edgar and the girls and your house.  Hope to hear from you soon.
Sg.

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...
