Griffin Family

06/28/15 Did you have a fun 19th birthday!  Did you do anything out of the ordinary or special? Did your box arrive from us and from Gma?  Bryce's 13th Birthday Last Sunday we went to the homecoming of Devin Shelley.  There was so many people there -- the house was like standing room only.  Ugh!  Too many people for me!  He did a nice job on his talk and then we went to the house and she served KFC chicken since he went to Kentucky.  Cute, huh!?  We got to visit a little with their friends and then come home.  It is so hot that no one could even go outside.  Temps have been over 100 up to like 111 this week.  Bleh.  Makes you not want to do much of anything! Katie went to the temple this week for YW and had a nice experience.  Our YW is pretty small and there aren't many kids but so far she still enjoys going.  A lot of kids quit going when they don't have a friend to latch on to.  Glad she ...

06/21/15 This week has been a whirlwind of activity.  Last Sunday the kids sang in church for Father's Day.  Last father's day for dad having a kid in primary.  (We are having a lot of lasts this year as little Holly becomes a young woman!!!) Monday and Tuesday were just usual busy work days.  Dad had to take the girls to the dentist for their cleaning.  No cavities!!!! Wednesday morning we had to get up early and head to Salt Lake City.  Dad and Dallas met McKayla's dad and got their final fitting for their tuxes while the girls and I swam at Lauritos' house.  Ian and Eli joined us and Gma and pa got in a little bit too.   Thursday morning we had to leave the house a little before 7 a.m. to head up to the temple.  Dallas and McKayla both went in while Dad and I walked around the temple grounds until 8:30 a.m.  We thought dad was going to get to go in with Dallas but they just took Dallas. Aj went in too...

06/14/15 Busy week!!!   Monday and Tuesday were just normal days.  Worked hard to get the office ready to leave for the rest of the week.  Thank goodness for my little assistant Sarah -- I can leave now and not have a nightmare to return to!!!   Wednesday morning I got up and packed and worked out and then at 7 a.m. we had to be at the Clark's house to leave for girls camp.  We got there a little late (7:15 a.m.) and everybody was packed and ready to go.  We had 10 girls...and to be honest they were NOT really happy to be going most of them.   Our ward has a couple non-camper type girls, Katie and a couple that were happy to go, and about 7 that are fairly new and their parents made them come.  So the "I don't want to be here attitude" came along with them.  Cool, eh?! For the first 24 hours I felt like we were dragging the girls along everywhere we went.  Every chance they got they went into the cabin and laid down to ...

06/07/15 Another busy week under our belts!   Sunday after church we had our girls camp parents meeting and told everyone when/where/what etc for Girls camp coming up this week.  Afterward we went to Gma and pas house for dinner as usual.  Monday was the Mees' farewell desert social.  They sold their house and are moving up to happy valley somewhere for employment.  They wanted to be closer to medical stuff for their baby and I think they have family there as well. Our neighborhood is pretty awesome...there were a ton of people there and it was a nice send off.  Thursday the girls and I went to Girl Scout camp.  It ended up being at the Olsen's cabin (Dr. Kelly Olsen in our ward), instead of the usual place at the last minute.  Thanks to Dr. Olsen for generously allowing us to stay at no charge.  We had a really fun time and weather gave us some excitement too as we had down pours and lightning and thunder and electricity ...
