06/04/11 Zumba, swimming, summer here we come!

6/4/11
Hi AJ!
It has been a really nice LAZY Saturday -- I'm tired out and happy!
Morning started with getting a bountiful basket and then doing ZUMBA for 1 hour at the rec center.  My friend Kathy from work had never done it before and came and tried it.  She liked it.  I am liking it more and more.  At first thought it was kinda difficult and I felt stupid but I get all hot and sweaty and it is WAY more fun than weight lifting or walking a treadmill.
After ZUMBA came home and cut up all my veggies and then headed to the pool to meet Julene.  Derek seems to be doing well and so is their family.
Came home and got dressed and the boys came home with Dad and wanted a water fight.  So back into a swim suit and all wet again!  Stayed that way until dinner time and then we had potato bar.  Pretty good!
Dad's off at a Rebel's football game and me and the girls did nails and read a book.  Dallas is off playing a video game (boring!) -- but that's what he wanted to do!
It's almost 10 p.m. and I'm starting to feel my busy day!  And busy week.
Fast Sunday is one of the weeks I get to not have any meetings so I'm looking forward to a LAZY morning (probably making yummy lunch and stuff...so I use the word LAZY loosely!)
The girls got new swim suits today (Katie's is already worn out that I just got her a couple of months ago) -- they are doing swim lessons every morning for 2 weeks right now -- and she looks TOTALLY grown up.  It is Scary!  She is kinda of a funny little goof ball...kept grabbing her boobs and being all proud or something.  She kept saying....they feel real to me!  (Her swim suit had built in bra which enhanced her a little bit).  She did some hula hooping today too.  She is SO good at that.  It's crazy!  Dad took a little movie of it...maybe it will transfer to you, not sure!  She is going to have boys knocking down the doors...good thing she has 4 body guards to hold them off!  Looks of things, we'll probably need all of you!!!
We have 10 girls signed up from our ward to go to girls camp this year.  And 4 leaders.  Sweet, eh?!  3 of the girls are going with the stake but they are still from our ward so I count that a success!!!  We get to go back to the same camp as last year because our Cedar City camp is snowed in still.  And we get to go down that cool water slide this year  -- how cool is that!  I hope leaders get to play!!!!
Well I hope this letter finds you happy and well and that it's cleared up a day or two for you.  I don't like rainy places.  Seattle would probably do me under.  I need my vitamin D (sunshine!!!) regularly.
Things are pretty much the same here as always.  Dallas just finished his first week of work (19 hours) at the city and he still likes it.  Of course the weather has been totally awesome and it's not been hot....yet.  I think he may change his toon next week as the temperature rises.
I am going to head to bed now!  I turn into a pumpkin in 6 minutes, ya know!
Love you lots!!! You are awesome.  Mom.

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class.  We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!!  Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10.   I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting.  But first...this picture...It just kills me!  When church is just too much! Haha.  I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel.  But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?)  (And he is 10 years old).  Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
