Griffin Family

02/29/16 We enjoyed our dinner at the Phillips' house last Sunday.  They made lasagna and salad and strawberry pie.  All very delicious.  We were able to stay and visit awhile and then headed over to Gma's house and stayed a little longer.  Eldon stopped in briefly but didn't see much of him before he was gone again. Monday the girls had SUPAF dress rehearsal concert at DHHS.  They did a good job.  I am amazed at what Mrs. Hodek can do with the kids that have only been playing 6 months.  They sounded great. And they looked great too.  Takes a special person to be able to stand all the commotion and not be insane.  I went with Holly's class Wednesday to the actual SUPAF competition and that was more than enough kids for me for a long time!  They were good but so busy and noisy!  It was fun to hang out with Holly. She's so grown up! Wednesday night Dad and I went to cold stone creamery and walked the mall while t...

Holly making a firefly stepping stone Sometimes as I sit down to write I can't remember what in the world we've done the past week.  It just seems all a blur!  I look back over my calendar and sometimes it comes back to me and sometimes I think I should be writing more often cause I just can't remember what the heck happened earlier today let alone last week! (old age?!) (crazy?!) ...don't you dare answer that! So this week was a little shorter due to the Holiday on Monday.  Feels good Monday, feels bad Tuesday!  Tuesday was super busy and flew by as the phones rang off the hook while preparing for court. Not all bad but tiring none the less! The Binder's family has been sick for awhile battling colds and sleepless nights with new baby.  Sister Binder is my visiting teacher. She posted on the internet that her house needed sanitized and they needed to get the sickness OUT!  So Jamie Meacham (her partner) and I decided that since she couldn't vis...

Whassup Bryce! I'm actually in church right now and figured I'd use a little down time to write you only iPad. I have been super crazy busy the past few days as the playoffs near and state is happen g in other sports like swimming, wrestling, etc. I Added it up and we published 19 sports stories the last three days - definitely the most in a three day stretch since I've been at STGNews. I wrote more than half of those and edited and published the rest, including photos - yeah Hoppie has been busy too. Hey, just two weeks away from turning 50 -- I'm so excited ... NOT. Dunno if mom told you, but no surgery fo my knee yay!!! But I'm not allowed to play racquetball or basketball for six weeks, so boooo! Binders blessed their baby today and Dallas and I stood in the circle. It was nice. They have two little boys now. The kid, Jacob, was cute. He just laid back and enjoyed the bouncing during the prayer. Happy for you that things seem to be going pretty well ...

Rachel Riley and Katie getting the drinks ready Not sure if you get Pday today with the holiday!   The week has flown by as everyone is busy with school stuff/playoffs etc.  Monday we met with the insurance guy and started paperwork to get paid for our medical/motorcycle losses.  From what I hear things go slowly...but at least we're started.  I guess with medical you don't get paid until you decide you are done.  Which for us should hopefully be within 4-6 weeks (make sure dad's knee is ok).  But for people with major injuries it can be years... I never realized.  What a pain! Emma Christensen, Morgan Riley and Katie (Look how perfectly the table is arranged!) The girls had an etiquette dinner Wednesday night. The evening started at 5:45 p.m.  with two boys, Preson and Tyne picking the girls up in a big red truck driven by one of the leaders.  They came to the door with roses and opened the doors and helped them in the truck....

Football Cake!   We made it through our week with lots of aches and pains but we're on the mend!  Didn't realize a little toss like that could make you so sore!  Dad's got a partially torn MCL and some sprain/strain on his other knee parts (I'm not a dr.!  Sorry!!!)  He's feeling better (doesn't need to use the cane) but not ALL better!  Still not doing sports or running around.  But getting around. So that's a start! Chili fogged up my camera! My shoulder is still paining me (this started before the accident but has intensified since).  I've been to physical therapy 2X and am taking medications but I'm still very sore.  Hoping it will just go away soon!   Pretty typical week.  Monday night pizza.  Long night Tuesday.  The girls had New Beginnings Wednesday night and we got to see their makeover pictures.  They are pretty awesome!  Those girls look great and all grown up.  Our YW program sure...

Hi Bryce! How've you been? I have been super busy between keeping my grades up and piano and band stuff. Mr Lanners is... not my favorite person. But I deal with it and next year I get Mr Paxman and he's supposed to be way more mature and chill so I'll endure to the end (of eighth grade, that is).  So as of right now I don't get to play my soprano sax much but after supaf I should get to play it plenty. In the mean time I'm playing my alto. I pretty much have no chance without a lot of hard work of getting on the high school basketball team in a few years but I've moved on from that dream. I want to be an all state band member some day. I want to be that girl that everyone thinks is insanely obsessed with music.  I'm super excited for seminary next year and I've been working on playing hymns so that I can do it for seminary next year. I've seen a sad change come over many of my classmates. They use vulgar language they dress ...
