10/04/14 Flu shots, interviews and piano lessons

10/4/2014








This week has been a good one.  Monday we got flu shots (fun?!).  After work dad had to interview a Desert Hills player so we all went together and I filmed while the girls hung out.  Afterward we went and tried a new restaurant Rigatti's Pizza.  Turns out it is just like little caesar's and not really a restaurant at all. So we took our pizza to the st george park and ate on a picnic table. The weather was great but we didn't have napkins or drinks so it was a wee bit uncomfortable! Oh well, the girls prefer to wipe their hands on their pants anyway so no harm no foul, right?!  


Afterward we went to costco.  Dad started feeling sick and was kind icky.  He thinks it was from the flu shot.  And he was better the next day so probably so.


Tuesday Katie got to go to a swim party for young women's.  I worked until 8:30.  An interesting trial involving our old neighbor's kid (randall's son David).  He lost but the trial lasted 1 1/2 hours.  Attorneys!!!!  At least it was entertaining and I got tons of work done and off early on Friday!!!


Wednesday I had piano lessons again (I'm loving it!) and we did yard work as a family.  The yard looks great.  The girls worked hard! Thanks to Dallas for mowing. We also had a book fair and hot dog/water and chips for dinner.  It was packed with people.  But we got a couple of good books.  Found some new authors I love so I'm enjoying reading with/to the girls again.  Holly has started reading a lot more because she found a series she loves.


Thursday Katie had volleyball.  They lost but the games were super close.  One of her teammates got injured on the play before the last play of the last game.  So bummer there.  I think she turned her ankle or something.


Friday Katie and Dad went and watched Pine View win against Cedar.  Holly and I went out to Sheron's house at Coral Canyon (the older lady).  We helped her with some computer questions she had. She is writing her life story.  Then Holly and I swam at her clubhouse.  Sheron left after awhile and we were the only ones left at the pool. The pool attendant came and asked us where our parent was.  I told him I was the parent.  Haha. Love that!


Dad and I are planning an overnight at Bryce Canyon tonight to celebrate our 26th anniversary.  Should be fun except poor dad had to work until 4:30 last night and has to be up at 10 a.m. to cover the marathon.  He is gonna be tired. Grandma and Grandpa will be up there for an elderhostel so we should get to see them tonight too.  They are on a 10 day trip right now.


I hope this email finds you well and happy.  The kids have been singing am I a muppet or a man -- said it had some funny meaning with you involved.  I don't remember what happended before you left but they sure enjoy singing that one and thinking of you!


Do you need anything? Is it cold and rainy up there yet -- how's the weather? Biking in the rain would be icky. Do you have to do that much? Do you have rain jackets?


Do you go to meeting house for conference or does everybody listen online or how does that work out there? I'm excited to turn in on and clean the garage in a little while.  I listen better if I am doing something -- not as likely to doze off!  

Love you!!!!  Can't wait to hear from you.  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....
