04/16/17 Easter Sunday

Girls woke up and got their Easter Baskets. They got a cute stuffed animal, a skirt and some candy. Someone "egged" our house last night so they got to go have an egg hunt like little kids! Holly seemed to enjoy egg hunting more than Katie (who didn't want to get her feet wet in the grass!!!)

Katie and I had choir practice at 10 a.m. for the Easter program starting at 11 a.m. We got there and found out the Herdman's were sick and not going to come. (They are the best singers!!! Wahhhhh!!!) The choir was pretty nervous but we practiced for an hour and hoped for the best.

Sister Cassidy Baker joined the choir at the last
minute and things worked out pretty well!

Gma and Gpa Griffin came to our ward because they were reading Grandma's poem (see 12/8/2008 entry for complete poem), He has his Father's eyes. Seth and Rachel Johnson and kids came (Eldon and Diane's daughter and family). Dallas came too. So it was nice to have lots of family there!

Katie and I both had a short narration part along with the songs we sang.

After church we had just about an hour and then headed over to Santa Clara City park for a picnic with all the kids and their kids. Everybody was there...Grandma and Grandpa Griffin, Squires and all their kids and kids, Wendy and all her kids, Us and all ours plus Grandma Squires and Ben's brother Adam and his wife Bonnie. So great party!

The pavilion we thought we had reserved was taken by another group so we had to move the tables over to our smaller pavilion. Pretty hard job but these guys got the job done!

Emma, Katie and Holly were the egg hiding crew for our egg hunt. They hid about 150 eggs for the little kids to find later.

Dallas brought his cornhole game for some in the park games.

Bryce and Marlee just got engaged yesterday at
Menchies in St. George!!!!

Aaron really didn't want his picture taken!

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 ...
