6/16/04 Potty training, tight pants and fat guys pizza

Swim time Holly, Katie and Shelly

6/16/2004 LETTER TO BECKY

Holly is getting around better everyday. No more teeth but the one she has sure is cute. She is also sleeping better at night. Andy usually gets her once and then she wakes up between 6-7am. Usually put her to bed between 10-11pm. He says some nights he doesn’t have to get her at all.

Katie still isn’t potty trained but now she says, “mom, I’m peeing” as she wets her diaper. She just doesn’t want to “go” potty. Someone gave me pull-ups so she’s been wearing those and she can dress/undress all by herself. I don’t know what the deal is. Stickers and candy are no big deal to her. I guess she’ll just start going when SHE feels like it!

Story time, Shelly, Holly & Katie

So are you guys still thinking of coming south or have you changed your minds? Let me know if you are so I can check on room prices.

Work has been busy but not overwhelming. It’s a good volume. I’m not bored ever but I’m not losing my mind either.

Katie loving on Holly

I was complaining about not having anything to wear so Andy brought me home a pair of pants about a week ago. Size 12. WAY too big. So we went back and got a Size 10. They were really cute but were too short from the belly button to the crouch. So we took them back and got a similar pair, Size 10 in a slightly different style. WAY too big around the waist. So I took them back. Got a size 8. They are considerably tighter around the waist. What is the deal????? I’m wearing them now but I’m wondering if they are TOO TIGHT!!!!! Aaaagghh. I’ve always been a perfect size 10 but now I’m not any size. Even trying the clothes on in the dressing room doesn’t work – I get them home and they prove to be not quite a right fit. But who can tell in 30 seconds in the dressing room while trying to hold Katie from escaping????

Tomorrow we are taking our cub scouts to a place called, 2 fat guys pizza. They give the kids a tour. Gave them all some dough. Let them make a pizza, cook it and eat it. Cool, huh? I’m excited. I think they will enjoy it.

Well better get busy. Had court last night so there is lots of paperwork to do. Keep up the good work with your photo/video productions!!! Bye.

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...

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 ...

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...
