12/19/11 Basketball and gassy camp outs

12/19/11

Life here is Washington Utah is pretty much the same as always!
Just finished basketball season for the girls (Katie's team won 1st and she will be getting a plaque with her name on it!!!)  Girls start soccer next week.  Had about 3 weeks off in between I think.   Girls are still keeping busy with girl scouts and piano and achievement days, math club and choir.  They really seem to enjoy school and life in general and being busy and singing and doing their thing.  Seems like one or the other of them is always singing...in the shower, while they do chores, whatever.  Very happy little girls!
The boys went on a camp out this weekend.  I guess there was 6 boys and they all slept in a tent.  With one that had gas.  Yummmmmmm....??!!!  Dallas said he slept at the end of the tent on a down hill slope and work up at 4 a.m. with a big pile of Teddy on him.  (the same one with the gas!!!).  Ah...the memories they are creating!  They all find this pretty humerous.  Boys.
The boys are getting closer to earning enough money to go on the band trip next month.  Only 2 more dixie direct books to sell.  I think they'll need to come up with a litltle more money too but they are about there.  Should be fun.  Going to Disney and performing at a school in Las Vegas.  Not sure what else.  I'm sure it will be great.  I have fond memories of band trips from back in the day.
We had 5 girls in YW today and 11 out on Wednesday -- it feels like we are getting somewhere...maybe!  Getting ready to plan youth conference and girls camp and lots of fun stuff!
Life feels like it is on fast forward -- everything just keeps happening so fast.  Seems like every Sunday I come to the computer and I can't believe another week has flown by.  Sounds like from your letters you are also experiencing that!  It's good!!!
Work has been super busy too.  Just barely completed an audit at work in addition to all the other little projects going on.
Our lesson today in church was on covenants.  At the end of our lesson we each got a payday candy bar and the saying "I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; But when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." D&C 82:10.  Hopefully we can keep our covenants so that we can be blessed.
It is snowing in New Harmony so we may have another Sunday evening at home with no Grandparents.  But if we do, maybe we'll go up tomorrow to see them.  Seems like it's been awhile since we've been up there!
Hard to imagine that you are hot and sweaty all the time while we are having snow and rain and coldness here!  So strange how different our worlds are!
Well I love you and hope you are doing great!  Love 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 ...
