Griffin Family

6/24/12 It's been a good week staying busy.   Girls Camp preparations are coming along.  We leave Wednesday morning.  We will have 14 girls if all come who said they would. I heard last night that one of the girls is getting baptized next Saturday.  I am really surprised and not sure it is true.  We'll see.  Her brother did just get baptized last week so it could be.   Bryce's birthday is Tuesday, so I told him his birthday starts today!  Since I won't see him much on his birthday.  His driver's ed teacher didn't call and didn't call and then he called and we had like no time left.  So Bryce had to drive 4 hours Saturday, he'll drive 4 hours Monday and 3 hours Tuesday morning.  Then at lunch time we'll go get him his driver license.  (Not right when it opens as is tradition.  Oh well.)  He didn't seem to care but if he doesn't get his license right away we'll have to pay $15 extra because his permit expir...

6/17/12 Another busy great week behind us.  (I hope you agree!)   This week I had to write a letter to Dallas and Bryce telling them how much I love them and appreciate them and how the church has influenced our lives.  I also encouraged them to go on missions and marry in the temple.  It is for them to get a camp Helaman next week.  (I gotta remember to get them over to their leaders!)  It was nice to take a few minutes and reminisce about you kids and how special you are to me.  I sent the letters over to Dad and he wanted one too!  So I spent a few more minutes thinking of some of the many great times in our history and why I am so thankful to have him as my eternal companion.  The girls are jealous and ordered a letter too but I haven't had time!   So I'll take just a minute of this letter and tell you just how blessed I feel to be your mother.  I remember from the time I found out you were coming I was so excite...

6/13/12 Hi Kiddo! It's Sunday afternoon and I'm in my usual spot writing to you! Hope you are doing great! The heat of summer has arrived and I feel pretty lucky to be in my a/c bedroom right now! It has been a busy but good week  Kerry, our treasurer has been in Hawaii...lucky ducky...so I had the pleasure of doing my job and his this week.  Kept me pretty occupied and made time FLY!  It went pretty well.  Couple of little problems but nothing too horrible! Wednesday we took the YM/YW to quail lake for a boating trip.  Really fun.  It was more like a YW trip...and then a YM trip because the boys came so late that we mostly just ate and left -- but it was really fun and the kids are begging for another boating trip.  Brother and Sister Olsen have said they'd love to do it again so maybe we will! Dallas is getting over his tonsils.  It's been a pretty long week for him I think.  I believe it hurt a little more than he ex...

6/9/12 Well tomorrow is shaping up to be busy so I figured I'd write you tonight.  You are MUCH better to write to than  to do the pile of laundry behind me that I have to do before bed tonight! So, what a great, busy week! Monday and Tuesday were of course filled with work. Wednesday morning I got up and did my usual spin class.  Then I took Bryce for his first Ag Field trip.   Only it was a flop.  Poor kid.  I dropped him off at the H.S. like we did last year but didn't wait to confirm rides.  He of course didn't have a cell phone.  So he goes over to the group he thinks is his only to find out they are custodians doing a project on the school.  He waits around for 15 minutes and NOBODY shows up.  Nobody.  So he walks home.  Over 2 miles.  It was pretty warm and he was TOTALLY bummed. Maddy was planning to m...
