1/31/16 Pizza & Basketball

Cheerleaders at the girls' basketball game
Miranda Warby, McKenzie & Lauren Riley

This week Monday night pizza was at the Brick Oven. Love the pizza but they are kinda pricey. It was just the 5 of us (McKayla had to work) and Gma and Gpa were too tired to join us. Just a note...never sit between Dad and Dallas at a pizza joint that only has one pepper and Parmesan cheese container on the table. They kept passing it back and forth over me until I was ready to smack 'em both! They thought it was funny. #Never.doing.that.again! Haha.

Tuesday was way too long. Got home about 8:30 p.m. Makes for a nice Friday (usually!) but no so much the Tuesday!

Wednesday night the girls had basketball and the makeovers and pictures at YW. They got their hair and makeup done really cute. They had a nice time and now they want to wear makeup. I guess it won't be long...they are getting older every day! Dad worked Wednesday night and I was left all alone! I went to to costco and did some house cleaning. Nothing exciting. I'll be alone on Wednesday's unless they call me into YW or once sports season is over it will be just dad and me. So strange having our family grow up! Not used to quiet time!

Thursday the girls YW basketball season started and they won and had a nice time. It's so nice to have them on the same teams and same activities right now!!!

Friday was like any other - got off early. Had plans to run some errands and play pickleball and girls night/dad work. Sent whole 'nother email about Friday.

Saturday we went to the dr and they checked out Dad's knee. He has an MRI scheduled for next week as they think he may have torn some ligaments in our lil accident yesterday. He has sore hips and neck and just over all achey-ness. I have been having some neck and shoulder pain for quite some time so I had the dr check me out also since I was already at the dr. He said I have a trapezial strain and ordered rehab and anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants. We are both kind a sore and just trying to recuperate.

Well time to head to church so I gotta run!!

Spiritual thought for the week:

Katie really likes Helaman 5 and thinks you should read it. Lehi and Nephi, Helaman's sons are becoming more righteous. They convert most of the Lamanites in this one miracle. The Lamanites put them in prison. Then they tried to burn them and they were standing in the middle of the fire but they weren't burned.

47 Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.

Hope you have a great week! We love you and miss you! Thanks for being such a great example and wonderful son!!!! Love you!!! Mom

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head". I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time. Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....

11/03/24 How is it November already?

Yesterday is the first day I've felt good in a long time! Seriously! I hope whatever is going on has finally left me. We did our day backwards. Dad slept in and we skipped pickleball. When he got up he had breakfast and then carved a pumpkin which I processed. It took 2 hours! (I had done one Friday night, same...2 hours!!!) So we have 17 bags of "2 cups" of pumpkin in the freezer. We have 2 more pumpkins but we both feel like we are DONE with the pumpkin thing!! haha While he was working on that I made pumpkin pie and chocolate pie (from scratch...like no pudding!!!). They both look yummy. We'll know at dinner tonight! We've been having the most beautiful sunrises. While I was doing my weight lifting I had to stop and go take a picture -- it was glowing red through the windows!!! We had a quiet Saturday - I did some laundry and yard work -- trimmed up some trees and picked up debris (no more mowing for me!) At 6 p.m...
