10/04/15 Pizza and pickleball

10/04/2015


Monday we went to Dallas and McKayla's new house for dinner.  McKayla made homemade pizza and it was delicious.  The girls enjoyed playing with their dog and we watched the very first episode of the Andy Griffith show.  It was a nice evening. 

Tuesday kept everyone busy as usual with the girls playing volleyball, going to piano and Holly had activity days.  Dad had girls soccer and I had court.  We just plan on not really seeing each other. 

Wednesday Katie had YW and Dad and Holly and I went and played pickleball over at Green Springs.  We played for a little over an hour and it was pretty fun.  Holly does pretty good and seems to enjoy it.  We took turns playing one - on - one while the third person sat out a game. 

Thursday I took off early in the afternoon to burn up some of my vacation hours at work (I have 5 days to use or lose by November 6).  Dad and I went to Arby's for lunch and got new tires on the van (again...I swear that van eats tires...but other than that it's a pretty good little van so can't really complain too loudly).  
Katie had volleyball Thursday afternoon for church ball.  When we got to the game they split the kids up into teams.  The kids had been practicing 3 wards together all summer but when we got to the game they decided to split it up differently.  So our 9th ward is with 2 other wards than what we've been practicing with.  Katie was really sad about that because she has a good friend on the other team -- Holly would have been unhappy too cause she would have lost the twins.). So volleyball wasn't too fun.  We left early so we could get Katie some chocolate and some time to be happy about the new teams. 

Dad had 2 radio games this week -- Thursday and Friday -- so he went to broadcast and we had a girls night.  McKayla joined us and after BBQ dinner we watched a movie AJ has to read the book for in school -- The secret life of bees.  We also spent the evening making fun goodies to send to you!  We made chocolate popcorn, pumpkin bread, chocolate chip cookies, and kinda zucchini banana bread only not.  It was a nice girls night!

Friday Holly wen to the PVHS game with the twins, Katie had a friend over and I did yard work and Saturday chores. 

Saturday morning (after being up all night) dad had to cover the marathon.  Katie played in it too!  So we had a Marathon morning.  I took pictures - which dad published a couple; Katie played a couple solos and had fun with the band (and donuts!!!) and Dad got to meet the winners -- who have each won this marathon 3X now!!! WOW!    I took the girls swimming and we watched conference.  Dad and Dallas and Gpa went to conference together and had gelato ice cream at Harmon's afterward.  The girls made chocolate cake and lasagna for tomorrow. 

All in all a nice week.  Today we are watching conference all day and it's our 27th anniversary!  Seems impossible, I don't feel that old!  I feel really blessed to have been married to my best friend and I can't imagine life without him.  I hope that all my kids are able to find someone like that to spend eternity with.  

I hope you have a great week -- you'll have to fill me in more on your hospital visit(s) and how you are doing now!  Glad you at least had a smile on your face in the pictures -- Katie thought you were joking but I could see the bracelet on your wrist so I knew SOMETHING was going on...but you looked so happy I didn't figure it could be TOO serious!

Love you! 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....
