09/24/07 Letter to Johnny on his mission

Hi Jonny!

How are things on the other side of the world? It’s already tomorrow there too, huh. That is so weird! What season is it there now? Is that screwed up too?

Things are about the same here. Aj is working his tale off trying to pass all his classes and do football and work. It’s good for him I guess… He asked a girl to homecoming and we are anxiously awaiting a reply. He says he’s ok if she says no because she was “Plan B.” The girl he wanted to go with already had a date. This will be his “first date” if she says yes. Kind of scary to start SO BIG…I guess homecoming is an all day event now instead of just dinner and a dance…

Dallas has been camping and we had MAJOR rain – so he got to come home early and soaked. Yuck. That doesn’t even sound fun at all.

Bryce is anxiously awaiting his first camp out. He is trying to get first class before he turns 12…I think…he’s only got the camp out left I think is what he told me. He is obsessed with his game boy game and getting his camp out done. It’s all he can talk about.

Katie and Holly are doing dance and are as cute as ever. They miss having you for Monday night pizza!

Andy and AJ are of course battling it out this week in fantasy football. I think I heard AJ won…but Dallas Cowboys won so it didn’t seem like Andy was too upset…

Any way things are just as you left them here. Hope things are great there. We love you and miss you and are keeping you in our prayers. Good luck and work hard!

Love you lots. Aunt Shelly and the family.

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...
