09/21/15 Katie's first marching band parade

9/21/15


Super busy week as I had conferences Monday and Tuesday in addition to regular work. And something they have never done before...the conference Monday went until 7 p.m.  Who does that?!  And then started 8 a.m. the next day (so I had to go to work early Tuesday to get ready for court after the conference).  Made for a nice end of the week cause I was all out of hours for the week!

Thursday night Dad and I went to the soccer game and Nikki Turner was playing.  That was cool. She is a pretty good little defender.  She is a senior this year but she's still a little beehive to me!

Friday we went to a place called Ninja with gma and pa and it was a lot better than I expected and not too pricey either.  We enjoyed it. Dad went out to Hurricane for a game and me and the girls hung with the Turner's.  It's been a long time since we've seen them. 

Saturday morning Katie marched in her first parade.  She had to get there by 8 a.m. so it made for an early Saturday for our little sleeper-inner.  We took the Riley girls with us and Holly and the girls had fun trying to get candy.  (They aren't cute anymore so all the little kids on either side of them got candy, they got nothing!) Haha.  

There was an Elder Q party yesterday and they had a ping-pong tournament at Olsen's house.  Olsen's had three tables set up and such a big house and yard that it was a nice place to hang out.  (Cept that they have 10 cats and 4 fat dogs).  Jorge Barrigan was the champion but I think the guys had fun playing. 

We went to Marlee's house last night for ice cream and send off. We gave her the tshirt you sent and some money and twix bars. She looked really good and her mom said it's all up to you now.  You are the one that is gonna have to wait for Marlee! We are going over this morning for her talk in a couple of hours. She says she is nervous. 

I am going to help set up a blog for Marlee so they can do one like we have for you.

We went to Hoppies house last night for BYU game and they had wings and soda and we brought cookies, meatballs and chips.  So lots of junk food late at night.  We stayed 3 quarters -- and it was a pretty exciting fun game.  BYU ended up losing but it was super close.

men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't
quit."

Gonna try to record Marlee today and figure out how to get it to you.Probably will try to get a box out this week...any requests? 

Hope you are doing great.  Love you, pray for you, miss you!!!!!  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. )

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...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week.  Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us.  More money may come in at a lower rate.  We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture.  He's been really fussy this past week.  Maybe a cold or teeth.  I don't know.  I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast.  He's so independent.  He knows what he wants and often gets it.  Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City."  AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy.  I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock.  Last two weeks he do...
