Griffin Family

4/22/12 Well the week has turned rather warm here in a big hurry!  I swear it was just last Sunday that it was chilly, windy, cool...not it is over 90 and sunny and toasty!  Holly went out yesterday for a little while and came back crispy!  I was really surprised how quickly she got burnt! We had a fun day yesterday.  The girls had the usual soccer games and Holly's team lost and Katie's won.  Katie's team is still undefeated.  She keeps managing to get on great teams.  She says they aren't even the same girls that were on her undefeated basketball team.  So, cool, eh?! It really was warm yesterday so two different times the hose was turned on and water fights galore.  Earlier it was Dallas and the girls.  Later me and Dad joined in.  Bryce stayed dry.  Old man.  Not sure why he didn't wanna play. After a fantastic BBQ dinner we headed over to the kite festival.  The girls each got a book or a kite...

4/15/12 Well the Grandparents are on an Elderhostel so we are all on our own for dinner today.  Sad, huh!? Yesterday I bought 20 pounds of salsa and canned about 20 bottles of salsa.  So today, since we have an abundance of salsa, we are having Cafe Rio pork.  (It smells really good out there!)  Still have to make the tortillas.... I don't know what I was thinking buying that many tomatoes!  Luckily it was a rainy day and everybody had nothing better to do then help! Friday night we had hikes we were supposed to do for YW Camp.  The weather was NASTY.  Seriously, blowing, cold, rainy off and on.  Each group of kids had a different leader assigned.  So I got the 2nd year girls ...Darby, Arrianna and Kyleigh.  Arrianna banged her head and wasn't feeling well so she ditched us.  Kyleigh was saying all along she couldn't go then last minute she could.  Darby was all excited all along and then seriously, as I'm walk...

4/8/12   It has been a nice family filled weekend.  We went to gma and pa's yesterday and had the traditional egg hunt.  Wendy's family, jared's kids, ben and laura, and us were there.  A good little bunch of egg hiders and egg finders.  Bryce brought along Matty..the girl from bloomington he is sweet on.  She is a cute girl and I think she enjoyed the day with the Griffin's.  Grandma tried to get Katie to be a hider and not a finder...but heck no!  She was not ready to "grow up" just yet!  She insisted on hunting eggs again this year.  Emma on the other hand (2 months older than Katie) would NOT hunt eggs, but chose to "help" Holly with her hunting.  Funny girls.  We have some cute pix of everyone which hopefully dad can get to you! Today we are going to Laura and Ben's house for another get together.  Sure to include great food and family.  Yesterday was brunch, today is 4 p.m. dinner. I guess there i...

4/1/12 Well it's time to watch the 2nd session of conference (an hour ago) but with Tivo we can watch it whenever we like!~  So we will turn it on soon and then head to gma and pa's house for dinner! I am making our sweet pork and burritos for dinner (dont think it is gpa's favorite) but everybody else loves it. The week has flown by and I can't even really think what exactly went on!  Work has been easier this week, not sure why. Seems to have slowed down or I've had plenty of good help or I've gotten better at what I am doing...not sure.  But it is nice.  I have to work for Kerry the treasurer next week, 3 days.  So I need things to be calm up in my world!  I will be getting all the money from the community center, golf course and city hall.  Counting it and depositing it.  I am scheduled to do it again for 1 week the end of May too. I feel very blessed right now.  All the kids seem to be on the right track and there is...

3/18/12 Holly & Katie love each other! Well the week has flown by again.  The boys went to Disney and had a great time.  I don't think they spent much time actually sleeping.  They came home Friday night and both said they might have slept 2 hours on the bus. Maybe.  They got home at 7 a.m. Friday morning and went right to bed.  I think they came out about 2 p.m.  Aaaah.  Ashley Brimhall also went on the trip.  Her mom posted that she got up at 5:30 p.m. Yes, a great trip! Bryce got put in as President of the Teachers Quorum today.  So we have 3 presidents in the house right now. Bryce went to the Stake Dance last night.  He really enjoys those.  Especially since he gets to see that one girl from Desert Hills that he is sweet on.  He is a funny kid. The girls spent Tuesday night and Wednesday at Grandma's house with Emma.  Far as I can tell the girls had a blast.  Emma and family have moved...

3/11/12 Well this has been a long hard week!  Nothing really bad...just seemed like extra busy and hard and tired! Kathy's husband (my helper at work) went into the hopsital last Thursday.  So she has been pretty much gone for 7 working days now.  He has been really sick.  I haven't heard an update so I guess no news is good news at this point.  He will probably make it but he has been so sick he might have preferred the alternative several of the days! My volunteer worker went to Colorodo last weekend and caught the gamboo...so she didn't come in on Monday.  She usually spends about 3 hours and enters all my new citations in the computer. My community service worker also got the gamboo and called out.  The 2 hours she was in the office on Wednesday she was hacking and sneezing and politely asked her if she didn't want to go home ... NOW ... and thanks for coming yada yada. So that left me on my own like the good ol days.....
