02/07/16 Super Bowl Sunday

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 goes all out.  They have had one super neat activity after another.  This week they are doing an etiquette dinner with the boys.  I'm so glad they are having a great experience.  Their leaders aren't afraid to work, that's for sure!

Thursday they girls played ward ball and won against the Armadillos...the team to beat I guess.  They were pretty happy!  Marlee surprised us and popped in after dinner and stayed and visited with us awhile.  It's like she is one of the kids.  She fits right in!  

Friday we went to Dickey's with the parents and dad worked all night.  

This weekend is the first one in a very long time that we didn't have stuff.  It was so nice to clean up the back porch. Do laundry.  Clean the kitchen.  Make yummy goodies.  And not have to go anywhere or do anything. 
We played games Saturday night the girls and Dad and I. It was a nice quiet evening.  Must treasure those.  The girls are growing up fast and will soon be doing other stuff not wanting to hang with us!

Today we had tons of yummy food and everyone is chilling watching super bowl 50.  Eldon came for a little while and then we drove him across town.  Gma and Gpa also came but not for long.  They didn't watch the game.  Just ate and ran.  They had other things going on.  McKayla is working overnight shifts at the hospital psych ward so she also had to leave.  So it's Dallas and the girls and Dad and me. 

Reading a couple of books right now.  One is about a man that dies and comes back.  The other is about a girl that is sick her whole life and then receives a heart transplant.  (Someone of course had to die in order for her to obtain that).  Both stories really make me appreciate all that we have.  Our health.  Our family.  Our life.  

So my message for this week is just to be thankful for all that we have and to realize how fortunate we are. Life is a gift.  Don't take it for granted. 

I hope you are doing well there. I found some I am a child of god stickers at the DI this weekend.  I'm going to send them the next time I send something off to you.  I took some to church today and made friends with a couple of little kids. They love it!  

Love you lots!!!!  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 ...
