04/22/12 Tonsils out! Lost diamond ring, sad!

4/22/12

Well the week has turned rather warm here in a big hurry!  I swear it was just last Sunday that it was chilly, windy, cool...not it is over 90 and sunny and toasty!  Holly went out yesterday for a little while and came back crispy!  I was really surprised how quickly she got burnt!
We had a fun day yesterday.  The girls had the usual soccer games and Holly's team lost and Katie's won.  Katie's team is still undefeated.  She keeps managing to get on great teams.  She says they aren't even the same girls that were on her undefeated basketball team.  So, cool, eh?!
It really was warm yesterday so two different times the hose was turned on and water fights galore.  Earlier it was Dallas and the girls.  Later me and Dad joined in.  Bryce stayed dry.  Old man.  Not sure why he didn't wanna play.
After a fantastic BBQ dinner we headed over to the kite festival.  The girls each got a book or a kite and then sang with their choir.  After their performance they played the free games, took a ride on the train, walked through the booths and then enjoyed a snow cone.  It was seriously warm.  We were all ready to go home and relax after that!
Dallas is going to have his tonsils and adenoids out.  Surgery scheduled 2 days after school lets out.  Thursday, May 24th.  Poor kid.  I hear a humidifier works wonders so we'll have to find one before then to use.  Do you remember getting yours out?  I don't remember it fondly but dad says it wasn't so bad...what's your memory?  No biggie or biggie?   They say to allow 7 days with no commitments AT ALL and up to 10 days before you really feel better.  Hope it's not that long!
He is also going to start the Diesel Mechanic program June 4.  He is pretty excited about it.
He has been applying for some jobs and hopes to be pretty busy with work and school before long.  He always seems to have a cash flow problem.  Dave doesn't keep him quite busy enough!
Rachel Riley just got put in as Primary President today.  Big job.  I'm sure she'll be great at it.  Just hope it doesn't kill her scouting.  She is our g.s. leader and that takes a lot of time and effort too!
Can't think of anything else exciting to tell you.  Life is good here and between work and YW and kids and hubby don't really have time to do much but enjoy it all!  This warm weather has made me tired but I'm sure I'll get used to it really soon and be full of spit and vinegar again!
Oh yeah, did dad tell you my diamond fell out of my ring?  After about 25 years (with the engagement) of wearing that thing I just looked down and there was no diamond to be found.  I have no idea when/where/how I lost it.  So Dad being as thoughtful as he is took the initiative and went and found a jeweler to replace the diamond.  He got a bigger, better more beautiful diamond and had it back on my hand within about a week.  Pretty amazing, huh?!  AND he didn't spend too much (which would have made me not too happy, ya know!?)  So, like my ring, my marriage is better and more beautiful than it was all those years ago!  We are lucky to have such a great relationship and wonderful children.   
Keep working hard and doing what's right.  You have made an impact on your brothers.  They are preparing to get their patriarchal blessings here soon.  They got their recommends today and we'll go meet with the patriarch soon.  Just gotta make the call, I guess.
Love you lots! 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 ...
