05/22/23 Baseball Championship Week in Orem, Utah

We had a super busy week...Starting Sunday...headed to Orem to LaQuinta to stay because Dad had to broadcast Monday morning from 6 - 9 a.m. and then do 4 baseball games between noon and midnight. BIG LONG DAY!  







Bryce fed us delicious tacos and AJ & Becca came too. 


Monday I dropped Dad off at BYU for his marathon day and B&M and Momo and I went to spend the day with the twiners. The big twiners while Mama went to the hospital to be with the little girl twinners. We had so much fun! 


Tuesday rinse and repeat for all of us. 












Except Bryce drove up there instead of me this time. He dropped me off at Ruth's house after the day at Dallas' and I had dinner with Lauritos and Ruth and then she took me to her pickleball night. I even got to play some! And it was so much fun!


Hanging with twinners is EXHAUSTING!!! Momo slept A LOT the next two days after our visit! haha. 


I was tired out too! Wednesday I dropped Dad at UVU for 3 more games and then spent the day with B&M and Momo. Which was mostly B and Momo because M had to work (all week...so she was in and out with us!)


I had him give me chores to do -- we cleaned his back porch, weeded and cleaned his front porch, cleaned the kitchen, did some laundry (my own! haha) whatever...just some stuff to keep me busy and out of trouble!


Thursday Dad only had one game so we got Bryce and did Trader Joe's and Winco. More hanging with B&M and Momo. Aj and Becca stopped by after work. 













Funny story...so we were on our way to Trader's but it was lunchtime. So we decided it would be better to eat than go to the stores hungry and stopped in a taco shop that Bryce loves. And who is there...AJ!!!!!!  What the heck! He is there with someone from his real estate work and I just go plop down at their table and I'm like, Hey AJ...you didn't even save me any lunch, what the heck!  His buddy was confused! AJ's like, yeah, this is my mom! And I just randomly stopped in...I wasn't even stalking him... seriously!!! Random WOW!


Thursday night I took Dad to his game and then went to Walmart and tried on like 18 dresses...they had some really cute ones that were totally great up top (unusual!!!) but...TOO SHORT! aagh.   I finally found two that were almost not too short and bought those, only $8 each!!! I'll have to send you  a pix next time I wear them. 

Turns out one is just like one Holly picked only in a different color. And I thought we had such different taste. 


At like 9 p.m. Thursday night after I got done shopping...my throat started tickling. And my head started hurting. And my nose was snuffy. Ugh. I had to cancel my Friday with my babies!!!! And Baby Amelia came home Wednesday too!!!! 


And I didn't get to hold baby Momo the rest of the weekend. So sad. 


But they did let me hang out and still enjoy time with everyone so that was good. We hung out at Bryce's the remainder of the weekend. 


Another Funny Story: Momo is soothed by white noise played on the phone by Bryce or Marlee (interesting...never had that when I had babies!!!) -- also EFFECTIVE... surprisingly works quite well. Holly came over and played a video of a ceiling fan spinning round and round (no noise)...SAME EFFECT!!!! What the heck!?!  It's like Baby hypnotizing






!


Bryce blessed Momo on Sunday at 9 a.m. He sent out a link to Gpa, Gpa & Suzanne, D&M, E&D...and they turned off the feed for the blessing. NOOOOOOO. So disappointed. It was short and beautiful. He said a lot about her life being joyful and happy and having what she needed in life and that her heavenly father loved her. 


We had a nice coscto muffin and fruit with drinks afterward at the park. Really nice event all around. 


We headed home around noon and got to St. George by 3:30 or so. Relaxed and jumped right into another busy week. Whew!


The speaker in sacrament meeting was widowed 24 years into her marriage (probably had young kids and he was likely around 45) - fast forward about 20 years and she's about 60 or 65 now and still alone. She lived with different of her kids and help raise her grand kids. She was really delightful little lady. She talked about knowing that you are a child of god and how much like Jesus you are. She had a children's book that basically said...jesus prayed...I can pray too, I'm just like Jesus.  And it went through a bunch of scenarios. It was a neat talk. I hope that I can have a good influence on my grand kids like she did on hers.

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 ...
