02/25/11 Good grades and Polynesian dancing

2/25/11
Katie singing for talent show
Katie wrote you a note.  She wanted me to type it up for you but I thought you'd enjoy figuring out what she's saying yourself!  Holly drew that picture of me.  Beautiful, aren't I?!
So late night our neighbor was arrested for DUI at about 8:30 p.m. right outside his house in our circle (Holm's -- the dad)...it's just not safe to be out after 8 p.m. in our neighborhood apparently!!!  Crazy, huh?!
We had 9 girls at YW this week and they all seemed to have a really nice time.  I'm excited.  I hope I can convince them all to come to camp and youth conference.  They are luke warm on both right now.  What's up with that??? Free camp and it's FUN?!  I don't understand why they don't want to go.  What happened before I got here?   Seriously??!  Why WOULDN'T you want to go?   
Anyway, things are going well here.  Tomorrow the Girl Scouts are committed to man 2 water tables at the Washington City Dog Town races...and it's supposed to RAIN all day.  Good times, no?  I am going to find some rain ponchos for us and some ucky shoes so we can not ruin our good ones.   
Sunday is going to be a busy meeting day...morning bishopric meeting usually lasts close to 2 hours before church, then church, then Presidency meeting after church.  Probably nothing compared to what you do...but that's a lot of BIC (but in chair) time.  Yucky, ya know?!
Everybody seems to be doing pretty well.  Dallas' grades are up, for now.  Go Dallas!!!  Sharee has been interested in Dallas again but so far he is remaining strong and fending her off.  Go Dallas!!!  I wish she'd find someone else to hook up with and leave Dallas alone.  Bryce is of course doing great in school and his usual funny self.  He get to go to some fancy show in SL I think with his Biology class where they see inside bodies -- muscles, organs, etc.  Sounds pretty cool.  I think that is next week or so.  
Dallas signed up to take the life guard class (Monday - Saturday from 9a-6p his WHOLE spring break).  Hopefully after that he'll be employed and start being able to save for his mission and paying for his keep!  
Katie has had a cough forever and it seems to continue to barely hang on but she is busy and happy.  She is doing Polynesian dancing and seems to be enjoying it.  I can't wait for the LUAU at the end!!!   She has been getting up better lately and practicing the piano for about 20-25 minutes as she wakes up.  It seems to be a good fit for her.  She isn't a get up and go girl but get up and pound on the piano seems to get her moving.  After she is done Holly tinkers for 5 or 10 minutes if we are lucky and we've been doing better getting them out the door in the a.m.   Lucky for us noone tries to sleep in the a.m. at our house anymore!  Her and Holly are also doing choir and loving that.
Troy and Grace are expecting and so are Sam and Nikki.  And we have newlywed neighbor's that bought Riley's house but haven't moved in yet...so we should have lots of babies by the time you come back!
Baby Drake (Rachel's & Seth's youngest) is in the hospital with RSV...so remember them in your prayers.  
I can't think of anything else exciting or interesting to tell you so I guess I'll sign off for now!  Hope you are well and happy.  You are an inspiration and motivation to us all!!!  Love you lots. Mom.
Bryce, Shelly and Dallas

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

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...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
