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.

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...
