06/11/11 Swim lessons & girls camp

6/11/11
Katie's dance group
I hope you are happy and well.  I had a bad night of sleeping last night worrying about you.  Not sure why 'cause that is totally not normal for me to worry. So I hope I just ate something that messed with my dreams and that I wasn't "feeling your pain!"  I wanted to get up this morning and write your mission mama and make sure everything was ok...but I did't.  So, are you good?
The heat has started to really hit here.  I think we were around 95.  So strange to come inside and 78 degrees feels almost cold!  I had to go look at the thermostat cause I was sure it was colder than that.
The girls just finished 2 weeks of swim lessons and advanced to a level 4 (whatever that means?!).  They enjoyed it so much I signed them up for another session.  They go every day for 2 more weeks for 1/2 hour.  They are learning to swim properly (breathing) and I think they may even learn how to dive. Not sure.  They are in class together.  They have been becoming more independent and ride their bikes up to the rec center some days and then come home together too.  It is so nice.  It has helped them to have a little routine in their life.  It is hard to stay structured in the summer but we don't want them watching TV and vegging all day long!

I don't think I ever told you...Katie made student council next year.  She got to read the announcements the last week of school.  She was pretty excited. She will get to wear a fancy vest and go to meetings and stuff.  I'm sure she'll love it.
Girls camp is this week.  Everything seems to be coming together.  I think we will have 11 girls total...maybe.  3 w/the stake so 8 that I'm responsible for.  Maybe only 7.  I still don't know that we'll know what we are getting 'till they show up.  So strange!  We have planned lots of fun things for the girls and the weather is supposed to be perfect.  75 by day, 45 by night.  No rain anticipated.  Weather forcast said 0 percent.  Can't beat that!
Took the girls to JC Penny today and bought some school close.  It was cheaper than shopping the D.I.  Found pants for $4.99 and shirts for 2.99 - 4.99.  Then I had a coupon for $10 off when you spend $25.  I was able to use it 2X.  We ended up getting 5 pants, 6 shirts and 2 Sunday shirts for the boys for about $55. Sweet, huh?!

Dad and the boys have been at the Dixie Rebels Football game and just got home.  The girls stayed home and I washed and braided their hair and we went through all their clothes and pulled out all the winter stuff and put out the summer stuff.
Grandma and pa Griffin went to SLC today and saw the tiny twins and gave them a blessing.  They are struggling but doing well for their early arrival.

Well Iove you lots.  Take care of yourself!  love 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....
