04/08/12 Happy Easter!

4/8/12  

It has been a nice family filled weekend.  We went to gma and pa's yesterday and had the traditional egg hunt.  Wendy's family, jared's kids, ben and laura, and us were there.  A good little bunch of egg hiders and egg finders.  Bryce brought along Matty..the girl from bloomington he is sweet on.  She is a cute girl and I think she enjoyed the day with the Griffin's.  Grandma tried to get Katie to be a hider and not a finder...but heck no!  She was not ready to "grow up" just yet!  She insisted on hunting eggs again this year.  Emma on the other hand (2 months older than Katie) would NOT hunt eggs, but chose to "help" Holly with her hunting.  Funny girls.  We have some cute pix of everyone which hopefully dad can get to you!
Today we are going to Laura and Ben's house for another get together.  Sure to include great food and family.  Yesterday was brunch, today is 4 p.m. dinner.
I guess there is a new missionary in your area, Elder Golightly, who is the nephew/cousin of the Melessa's.  He is from Las Vegas and his picture was up on the website of Sis Carlos this week.  So, if you get a chance, you'll have to welcome him to your mission!  He saw your blog and commented on it before he left so he probably knows way more about you than you'd prefer!
The girls performed out at Tuacahn this week...a choir gig.  I skipped YW and went with Dad.  It was a nice evening together.  Weather beautiful.  The kids sang pretty.  It was nice.
And I guess we had a killer turn out for YW too!!!  Which is awesome!  We are trying to get everyone to commit and come to all the pre-camp meetings because they all want to go to camp.  So far it seems to be working.  I'll keep my fingers crossed cause last year we had to redo all certification up at camp because they blew off all the firstaid, hike, etc precamp meetings.  Kids.
Dallas has continued to struggle with gigantic tonsils and mono.  He went in again (3rd dr visit since November) and it was confirmed he still has mono and giant tonsils.  Dr. says we should probably schedule to get them out once school is over.  I hear it is pretty miserable on older people and recovery is 7-10 days.  So doing it during school isn't necessarily advisable.  I feel bad for him though because you can tell he just doesn't feel great.  He continues to do everything (which is admirable) but he kind of drags.  He downplays it and says he is fine but I can see that he isn't quite right!  (I hope this will teach him to kiss girls!!!!, jk)  He is almost done his 3rd round of antibiotics and nothing seems to have changed.  I will probably get him into a specialist in the next week or two and just confirm what our dr said. (His dr. doesn't do the surgery -- I didin't realize that -- or I'd have taken him to the specialist this past time instead of wasting another dr visit for nothing!!!)
Dallas spent the day with Uncle Ben last week doing some mechanic work.  He REALLY enjoyed it and is pretty sure he wants to go into diesel mechanic now.  We have some programs to check out here in town and hopefully we can do that soon.  So many things to track down these days...ACT, college, tech school, scholarships, etc!

Bryce also went in and talked to the counselor and says he wants to be a physical therapist.  I guess that is a master's program and U of U is the only school in Utah that offers that??? Not sure...but Bryce and me and dad are like...NO WAY!!! NO U of U!!! They will not get my Bryce!!! ha ha.  So we have to look into that some more too.  I know it's a long way off but he's trying to get a "plan" in place.  We were trying to make sure he qualifies for the Regent Scholarship --- you and Dallas both blew that one.  You didn't get the right classes in and Dallas' grades aren't quite high enough (there is still a chance, but he won't get the BIG regent award).  Bryce on the other hand has never gotten below A- yet and has scheduled all the right classes.  So he might pull off the $5000 scholarship.  We'll see!
Well I gotta run.  We are supposed to be at Squires in 20 minutes.  Naughty me.  I got so into talking to you that I ran out of time.

We will send you a pix of your easter candy and then try to get it to the mail box this week!  XOXO Happy Easter, Love Mom.

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 ...
