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.

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

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 ...
