04/16/16 Pickleball, Pizza and Why I believe

Winning team!

Amazing Race YM/YW
04/16/16

Saturday night -- and it's been a good busy week!  

Dad has been doing TV/videos again so he went and did that this week.  Kinda keeps him super busy and a little stressed as he has to prepare all the content including video highlights and then go tape it and get all pretty for his recording and then he has to patiently wait while the guys produce the show.  And they are always late.  

Probably can't watch this but here is a link to this weeks show: 



Katie's team
The girls did an activity for YM/YW this week...the amazing race.  They had a lot of fun with it.  Holly's team won and got a key chain.  Dad and I have been playing pickleball while they are at YW each week lately.  That has been a ton of fun.  The McAllister's come too and it's a fun match-up.

Grandpa's having so much fun he's glowing
Thursday night D&McK came over for dinner. Holly went to Tuacahn for a choir performance with the Riley's so it was just Katie and us and D&M.  We had yummy BBQ chicken and it was a nice visit. 

Holly is in donut heaven
Friday the girls had soccer practice and Dad and I went to Brick Oven with Gma and Gpa.  I'm still full from that!  It was yummy!!!  We got the buffet.  Friday night the girls and I went to the Why I believe series at the Tabernacle and listened to Paul Anderson (Loueen's son) talk about Why he believes and his success with the piano guys and how they use prayer in making their decisions in producing their amazing videos.  It was a good spiritual talk. 

Paul talked about some of the challenges they overcame in producing the video How Great thou art in Brazil. They are incredible artists.  Many of their songs are religious and probably mission approved.  Here is a link to the video.  

Maybe they ain't pretty but they
sure were yummy!
Dad was at Baseball games  with Dallas while we were there. 

Saturday morning after spin class we went to Gma and Gpas and Gpa fried us some donuts.  (Just like the old days...Great Gpa G owned a bakery in American Fork and Gpa used to fry donuts for the bakery).  It was fun and delicious.  

The girls had soccer and they unfortunately lost 1-0.  Close game. 

She's ready!!!
We played pickleball again and then Dad and Dallas went to Zion Lions game while Holly and I hung out and painted.  Katie is off at a dance right now.  Holy smokes when did she get so old?!  She looked very grown up and beautiful when I sent her off. 

Anyway it's getting late and I've got to go get Katie soon so I'll put together some pictures and send this off soon. 


Holly and the twins at Tuacahn

Holly's all over the field as sweeper.  Katie is
an awesome defender.
Thought of the week: From Anderson's talk.
Katie and Holly working together.
If you learn to align your goals with what your heavenly father wants for you to accomplish you will find they are answered more often. He said he really had to pray and listen and learn what direction Heavenly Father wanted for him and as he did that he was guided and continues to be guided and sees miracles over and over again in his live.  He talked about praying always.  They pray together on the job and individually.  
Stake Dance

When did she grow up!?
So ponder and pray about where you should be going and then let heavenly father help you get there. 

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 ...
