1/31/16 Pizza & Basketball

Cheerleaders at the girls' basketball game
Miranda Warby, McKenzie & Lauren Riley

This week Monday night pizza was at the Brick Oven. Love the pizza but they are kinda pricey. It was just the 5 of us (McKayla had to work) and Gma and Gpa were too tired to join us. Just a note...never sit between Dad and Dallas at a pizza joint that only has one pepper and Parmesan cheese container on the table. They kept passing it back and forth over me until I was ready to smack 'em both! They thought it was funny. #Never.doing.that.again! Haha.

Tuesday was way too long. Got home about 8:30 p.m. Makes for a nice Friday (usually!) but no so much the Tuesday!

Wednesday night the girls had basketball and the makeovers and pictures at YW. They got their hair and makeup done really cute. They had a nice time and now they want to wear makeup. I guess it won't be long...they are getting older every day! Dad worked Wednesday night and I was left all alone! I went to to costco and did some house cleaning. Nothing exciting. I'll be alone on Wednesday's unless they call me into YW or once sports season is over it will be just dad and me. So strange having our family grow up! Not used to quiet time!

Thursday the girls YW basketball season started and they won and had a nice time. It's so nice to have them on the same teams and same activities right now!!!

Friday was like any other - got off early. Had plans to run some errands and play pickleball and girls night/dad work. Sent whole 'nother email about Friday.

Saturday we went to the dr and they checked out Dad's knee. He has an MRI scheduled for next week as they think he may have torn some ligaments in our lil accident yesterday. He has sore hips and neck and just over all achey-ness. I have been having some neck and shoulder pain for quite some time so I had the dr check me out also since I was already at the dr. He said I have a trapezial strain and ordered rehab and anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants. We are both kind a sore and just trying to recuperate.

Well time to head to church so I gotta run!!

Spiritual thought for the week:

Katie really likes Helaman 5 and thinks you should read it. Lehi and Nephi, Helaman's sons are becoming more righteous. They convert most of the Lamanites in this one miracle. The Lamanites put them in prison. Then they tried to burn them and they were standing in the middle of the fire but they weren't burned.

47 Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.

Hope you have a great week! We love you and miss you! Thanks for being such a great example and wonderful son!!!! Love you!!! 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 ...
