Griffin Family

Dallas, Bryce, AJ and Shelly on a hike, Kolob Resrvoir 7/24/2000 Funnies: Aj was learning to play chess and he lost his bishop. So he said, Dad you killed my Campbell.  (the name of our Bishop at church) Bryce was looking through the dishes and said, "What the hell is that?!"  (I don't know where he got that but it sure made me laugh to hear a 4 year old say something like that! Bryce, AJ Andy and Dallas Enjoying some hot cocoa by the fire We took the kids up to the Girl's camp by Kolob Reservoir this weekend.  We had a special weekend together.  We left Saturday at lunch time.  We got a sandwich at subway before we went up the mountain.  We got up there and set up camp and then went for a drive to see if we could find Duck Creek, where Andy's family was spending the day.  We drove 45 minutes on terrible roads and ended up at the Cedar City overlook about 40 minutes from Duck Creek.  We decided to go back. We passed a place called...

06/25/00 Sunday I have been at girls camp this week and what a neat experience it was! Attending: Sara Lang, Miranda Zumwalt, Charmaine Hansen (leader), Carol Letke (leader), Sherry Hall (leader), Elaine Thompson (leader), Gene Hansen (priesthood leader), Mirie Ray, Ashley Adams, Tamsy, Laura and Leslie Thompson (triplets!), Hally Thornberg, Ashley Scott, Jillyn Spencer, McCall Tanner, Clar Hansen and Gabby Trevort. We met Tuesday night and packed all the gear into 3 trucks.  The girls practiced their sons and chants and we finished all the last minute shopping.  Everyone was in a really good mood and very excited for camp. Wednesday morning we met at 7 a.m. and headed up the mountain.  We giggled and sang from Hurricane to the top of Kolob Mountain.  I had 6 girls in my van.  When we got there the big tent was set up but it wasn't as big as we thought so we had to give the girls the leader tent.  Luckily a couple of extra pup tents came up so each ...

01/05/2000 Wednesday Bryce is 3 1/2 years old.  He started sunbeams this week and was SO excited.  He couldn't wait to get out of nursery!  He just a few months ago quit crying when he went to Nursery.  Bryce loves Dallas. They still share a room and I often find them asleep in the same bed.  They play for hours together and never get bored.  Bryce says his favorite cartoon is Bruno.  He luvs spaghettios.  Bryce is almost exactly the same size as Dallas so they share shoes, clothes and jackets regularly. Dallas is almost 5 and a smart little boy.  He could play on the computer all day if we'd let him.  He can turn it on, select his game, switch the CD, play and shut down the system w/o any assistance most of the time.  He and AJ compete for computer time.  They like different games.  Dallas will start kindergarten this fall and I think it will be hard on Bryce to be left out. AJ is 8 and was baptized in September. ...
