02/15/18 Chase Family visit

The Chase Family came for a quick visit from Thursday February 15 - Sunday February 18 over President's Day weekend. All the kids stayed over Thursday evening and then the Chase's went to Zion while the Griffin's went to school/work.

We all enjoyed some hot tubing at the condo Friday evening. (It was too cold to enjoy the regular pool!!!)

Saturday we went Prom dress shopping at the DI for Aspen and played games at the table (exploding kittens, Ticket to ride (the trains game) and a game they had brought from home. 
Saturday evening all the teenagers went to the Stake Dance in Bloomington while the Chases stayed and did taxes and hung out.  The Griffin's went to the Dixie University Basketball Game (Andy had to work). 

Sunday we we all went to church together and then enjoyed ribs, rolls, baked beans, potatoes and salad and cookies.

Chase's were going to stay until Monday however there was a bad snow storm coming in. 
So they loaded up and headed home Sunday evening at 6 p.m.  It was a fun visit!!!

         Aspen had been asked to prom recently by two guys on the same day.  She accepted one invitation and turned down the other.  Initially the guy turned down was cool about it.  They planned a date the weekend following prom and were going to go out anyway, just not to prom.  After thinking about it he must have gotten upset because he texted her something to the effect of...hey let's forget the date and you just pay me $40 for the chocolates and flowers I got you.
Aspen took the high road and didn't reply to that text!
We didn't get to see a whole lot of Katie while Chase's visited as she was at SUU at a Jazz Festival.  Sad!!!
Holly and Sam bonded...they are like two peas in a pod!  They both love watching Disney TV, cookies, playing video games and hanging out.  Sam kept doing things that reminded me of Holly!!!!  Did Becky get the wrong twin?!  Haha...!!!
Sydney is shy?!




Holly and Sam enjoyed playing pool instead of playing IN THE POOL!!! Neither of them wanted to swim!!

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 ...
