02/15/18 Chase Family visit

The Chase Family came for a quick visit from Thursday February 15 - Sunday February 18 over President's Day weekend. All the kids stayed over Thursday evening and then the Chase's went to Zion while the Griffin's went to school/work.

We all enjoyed some hot tubing at the condo Friday evening. (It was too cold to enjoy the regular pool!!!)

Saturday we went Prom dress shopping at the DI for Aspen and played games at the table (exploding kittens, Ticket to ride (the trains game) and a game they had brought from home. 
Saturday evening all the teenagers went to the Stake Dance in Bloomington while the Chases stayed and did taxes and hung out.  The Griffin's went to the Dixie University Basketball Game (Andy had to work). 

Sunday we we all went to church together and then enjoyed ribs, rolls, baked beans, potatoes and salad and cookies.

Chase's were going to stay until Monday however there was a bad snow storm coming in. 
So they loaded up and headed home Sunday evening at 6 p.m.  It was a fun visit!!!

         Aspen had been asked to prom recently by two guys on the same day.  She accepted one invitation and turned down the other.  Initially the guy turned down was cool about it.  They planned a date the weekend following prom and were going to go out anyway, just not to prom.  After thinking about it he must have gotten upset because he texted her something to the effect of...hey let's forget the date and you just pay me $40 for the chocolates and flowers I got you.
Aspen took the high road and didn't reply to that text!
We didn't get to see a whole lot of Katie while Chase's visited as she was at SUU at a Jazz Festival.  Sad!!!
Holly and Sam bonded...they are like two peas in a pod!  They both love watching Disney TV, cookies, playing video games and hanging out.  Sam kept doing things that reminded me of Holly!!!!  Did Becky get the wrong twin?!  Haha...!!!
Sydney is shy?!




Holly and Sam enjoyed playing pool instead of playing IN THE POOL!!! Neither of them wanted to swim!!

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...
