04/19/15 Tuacahn, Kite Festival & neighborhood party

Kids playing life size hungry hippos

4/19/2015

How was your Saturday meeting with the apostles? Did you get to shake hands? Were the talks amazing? Was it stake conference too or did they just come for your mission?

How are things going there?

Things are good here. This past week has been busy as usual. My visiting teacher came Wednesday (one of them was sick, so only one came. ) For young women's they played hungry hippos. It was really cool and fun you should see if you can get your mission or Young men/women to do it. I'll send some pictures. We used skate boards, baskets and balloons. The kids really seemed to enjoy it.

Thursday was our annual choir performance at Tuacahn. Probably our last one. We are doing a lot of last things as Holly wraps up her final year of elementary school. It was good. They had a ton of choirs. They each did some combined songs at the beginning and end and each choir did a number. It was exactly an hour. It was great. In the past it sometimes seemed they really dragged those out but it was nice and compact and good!

Friday we had our usual date and then the girls and I ran some errands and did house work etc. Riley's stayed and played until 8:30 p.m.

Saturday I took the girls to the kite festival (another last time) and then Katie and Holly had soccer games. It was a rare week where dad didn't have to work so we took the girls out to Dickie's and then came back and played catch phrase and play nine. It was fun. Everybody behaved and got along and the evening went super fast.

Looked up and it was 10 p.m. What?! Haha.

The kids in primary are getting ready to sing on mother's day so we are practicing all the fun mother songs.

They are doing a neighborhood party Monday night so we'll probably go to that. Our neighborhood has some really great people. We are pretty lucky. The Clark's are hosting.

Brother Justin Wright has an operation schedule this week...removing his thyroid and tumors around his thyroid. If they are non cancerous he will be down for 2-3 weeks. If they are cancerous he will be many months in treatment. So pray for there to be no cancer. Apparently he has tumors in his brain also. Super scary.

Next week is going to be busy again -- we are planning to head up to BYU to see AJ march for graduation. It will probably be a quick trip and just Dad and I will go.

Andy and Shelly, enjoying the show!

Hope everything is going well and you have a great week! Can't wait to hear from you. Love you!!!! 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 ...
