Griffin Family

This is just too cute not to share. Emmalee Wright and Katie Griffin sat at the kids table with Bryan and Katie Carnevale!!! So tiny and cute these kids!

Dallas is...22!!! Enjoyed a family dinner at Brick Oven Pizza -- Monday night is all you can drink free root beer night so extra yummy!!!  The staff brought out some ice cream and sang to the birthday boy.  He generously shared it with McKayla's face (just like at the wedding!!!)  Ahhh...young love! Happy Birthday Dallas!

We made a yummy treat -- I LOVE fudgy bars...but we also have been working as a family on a 1000 piece puzzle Andy got for Christmas.  It was out on the table for a week or two but we finally finished it!  It was so fun to work together and sit and find pieces.  We aren't usually puzzle people but maybe we're all growing up and getting old...cause we enjoyed it! .

Had a family party at the Tonaquint Park in St. George Saturday afternoon.   Everybody brought their own "dinner" and then something to share.  There was lots of yummy treats - pistachio salad, fudge bars, salad, cookies, chips, etc.   Laura had a hunt for the kids to find treats and "gold".  Ben and Laura and all their kids and grandkids were there (except Taylor and Kennedy), Gma and Gpa Griffin, Wendy and Aaron (Eddy and Emma came later), Andy and Shelly and girls, Bryce and Marlee, Ben's mom and brother too.  The weather was perfect. It was a fun couple of hours!

Who was interested in whom first?    Your Dad says I was and I say he was - after all, he tried to kiss me first!! I was living with my Mom in Draper.    I had gone to a big square dance in American Fork.    I was still a novice and when it got to a higher level of dancing the guys started dancing with the girls that were more advanced.    It is called A-1 where girls dance guys parts and guys dance girls parts.    A few of the girls who lost partners told me they were going to the LDS Single Adult Friday Night Dance in Orem and invited me to go.    I declined and they left.    A friend of mine, Gordon, said he was going to go and wanted me to come and dance with him.    I met him there and we danced for a while.    Then your Dad asked me to dance and we danced together the rest of the night. Your Dad went to the Friday night dances in Orem and Provo because they had one every week. ...

Quick trip to Las Vegas' Tahiti Village for some Spring Break Fun.  Only had 24 hours to get there and back but we made the best of it. Played in the lazy river, the sand box and the big pool.  Ate BBQ at the Lucille's.  In the morning we played some more and then walked a long way on the Las Vegas strip -- from the Caesar Palace to the Venetian and back, and ate at the #1 rated pizzeria - Grimaldi's. Everybody got along well and played like little kids.  It was a fun little getaway!
