The Grigg Family

Happy Birthday to you!!

2009-05-31T23:08:00.001-07:00

Today is the Birthday de mi madre...Ruthie! We had a brithday lunch of salmon cooked on a plank, salad, asperagus, and cucumbers mixed with onions and vinegar, and I made a chocolate almond torte. She got a new bike...I describe it was retro!! But it's cute! I felt bad becuase we also had seminary Graduation, and Bacalloreate, which I played piano at both! I graduated from Seminary though!! Yay! But we did get a message on the phone from somebody from Oklahoma that Dylan knows wishing my mom a happy birthday! We were all sad we missed the call...the man sounded hot! haha Oh yes...and my mama's 16 ;) because Loveta is always 29, and my Mom's 13 years younger than Loveta...which makes her 16!

Is Dylan's farewell! Come listen to his talk, and a hopefully lovely song by me(Hannah) on the piano! Here's our last family photo before Dylly leaves!

Tie Dye Fun

2009-03-31T10:29:00.001-07:00

The other day, we tie dyed. And since my Dad, and Mason in particular are obsessed with wearing tie dye all the time...I thought I'd document it on here! One of our missionaries got transferred. He thought it was cool that Craig and Mi Padre always wear tie dye, and go on "mancations", and he wanted to tie dye before he got transferred. So, Morrison's came over and we tie dyed! It was fun...but it makes your boogers purple! Oh, and the boxers are Dylan's...in case you were wondering!

Fact

2009-03-05T22:32:00.000-08:00

Fact: I LOVE Jason Mraz!
Reason: He once stated: "I can’t take credit for a song that wrote itself. I’m only one of millions who sing along to its message of peace & love. AND I THINK HUMANS WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH TO MAKE MUSIC. Each one of us IS a living instrument with a responsibility to sing out, to share, to cry and wail, for progress and for healing. I am grateful I get to sing with so many."

Fact: I totally agree with this quote! And, to my family's dismay, I'd say I'm doing a pretty good job of following this man's advice! Although I don't completely agree with all of his beliefs...the guy's so amazing! He has amazing songs, an amazing voice, he's an amazing musician, he has an amazing outlook on life, and he is super amazing live!!! I went to his concert last November...and I'm still obsessed with the dude!

P.S. He also wears sweet hats! What's not to like about that?!?
P.S.S. He's be performing in Oklahoma the day Dylan repeorts to his mission! So...Dylan can convert him and tell him all about his amazing little sister!! haha...too bad Dylan's reporting to the MTC that day...not Oklahoma ;)

Well We have a Missionary!

2009-02-21T14:07:00.000-08:00

Dear Elder Grigg:

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Oklahoma Tulsa Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months.

You should report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, April 29, 2009. You will prepare to teach the gospel in the English language...........

Sincerely,
Thomas S. Monson
President

Last night was an exciting evening; Dylan had been snow-boarding and we had to look at the envelope all afternoon until he arrived, rallied the troops, had the cell phones on speaker and cameras ready to video. He was very happy to say the least. His first wish was to go English speaking and the second was to stay in the states. He usually gets what he really wants.

Dylan we love you and you will be an amazing missionary.

BYU

2009-02-16T13:53:00.000-08:00

Hannah has officially gotten into BYU, and BYU-I!

Dear Hannah:

The Admissions Committee is delighted to inform you that you have been admitted to Brigham Young University to begin Fall 2009. Through your preparation and personal achievements you have distinguished yourself from a very strong group of applicants. We believe you will make a positive contribution to our BYU community. It is a great pleasure to welcome you to our campus to pursue your educational goals.

FYI

2009-02-11T11:21:00.000-08:00

Dylan has officially turned his mission papers in as of last night! President Baker said he could receive his call by the end of next week! For now...we're all just guessing! My mom says Kenya because she has a cousin who's a mission President over there...but Dylan wants to go somewhere where they speek his native tongue!

PS My parents are very excited for their weekend anniversary getaway to Seaside, Oregon...with Mason and Grandma and Grandpa!

Cool Beans!!

2009-01-17T13:14:00.001-08:00

I love this picture of Grandma...she actually started dancing a little! So I had to take a picture!! PS...It's from Christmas!

This is my snowman Lance...whom I created...and now he has died...it must have been of obesity...but he has gone to a warmer place!

I wanted to try a black and white picture! This is one of my senior pictures done by the lovely Colleen Donovan!

So...I have found this cool website where you can make your pictures look like they are polaroids!! I think it's super neat...hence why I named this post "Cool Beans!!" Here's the website I found through a friend it's free if you wanna try it out!

Dylan's haircut

2009-01-12T14:02:00.001-08:00

So today Dylan decided to cut his hair off!

I have found my future husband!!!

2008-12-21T07:03:00.000-08:00

Well, I have a talk today at church...so I was looking through some old New Era's and found an article about a lifegurad from Australia...Blake McKeown! Apparently he's a lifeguard on some cool beach, and now he's going to go on a mission to The Phillipines Baguio mission...maybe he'll run into Eric...if that's the same mission as Eric's haha! Well, how perfect would he be! I always thought it would be exciting to marry somebody with a sweet accent! And come on you can't beat Australian...that's pretty hot! Also, he likes to do triathalons, it said he's a strong swimmer...and so am I!!! So, we're both lifeguards, we both swim, we're both LDS...and we're both beautiful! hahaha can't get much better than that! So, give him two years to come home from his mission, a year to come to BYU, a year for us to get engaged, and in about four years, expect a sweet wedding announcment!!!

Girls Camp

2008-07-13T19:42:00.000-07:00

Well, me(Hannah) and Ruthie (My momie) went to girls camp this past week! I don't think you guys want to see any pictures of that...haha but it was really fun! This was my 6th year, last year as a girl...maybe someday I'll go back as a leader...haha! My mom was over the third years, and I think she had fun as well! She didn't do too many pranks this year though...at least that I know of. The camp was all pretty close together though...which was kinda weird but whatever! We had a really great speaker come on testimony night named Laurel Christiansen, I guess she does something for that time out for women, she was really great!! Mi Padre (Spencer) and the boys were home, but my dad got sick...he has another doctors appointment tomomorrow to verify exactly what he has....but we're all still alive! And Dylan was in Utah the week before and got Rock Band for our wii!!!! I'm a pretty pro drummer!

A few Pictures!!!!

2008-06-27T09:28:00.000-07:00

Picnic at the park!

Piano Recital...I played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata!

Dylan and Shorty graduated

The Moses Laker Surf N' Slide Water Park opened!!!

Carter and Johnny left of their Missions, Carter went to the San Jose, California mission, and Johnny went to Guatalajara, Mexico...I know I spelled it wrong! Me and Cherie played a little duet in Sacrament meeting of We'll Bring the World His Truth when Johnny left, it went pretty well considering we only had a few days to learn it!!!

Mason's learning the Amanda Lynn.... Well I forgot to say this one and other ones that I'm putting pictures of, however our family is becoming quite musical...My dad bought a guitar, my Mom got three ukaleles (me and Dylan can play a little on them too), Dylan got a new guitar for graduation, I have my Grandmas upright grand piano, and Mason inherited my Granpa Boyce's Amanda Lynn...and has purchased his own as well!!! So although I'm really the only one fluent at playing an instrument, the rest of them are working on it!!! Maybe we can all learn a song and can post it...haha

Dylan went to prom...we both went to sweethearts...but I don't wanna find those pics!!!

We went to Seaside for Spring Brake

Dylan became the Man Dylan...haha craig! Saturday I was babysitting Cooper Law and he asked me something about Dylan, and then he said something like is Dylan a man now...it was weird...but i just said yes...even if he still acts like a selfish kid

Well May 31st was Ruthie's birthday and she doesn't like to post stuff on this blog...so I think that gives me the right to call her Ruthie!!! How old was she???16......

It was mother's day before Ruthi's birthday...so Happy Mothers Day!!

The Surf n' slide water park opened, with Dylan as a new head guard and Hannah as a normal life guard!!!!

Dylan graduated from Moses Lake High School....if he could do it...anybody can!!!

The last day of School occured, making me(Hannah) an official Senior, and Mason in middle school....scary...

Father's Day...happy fathers day padre!

We had a Sunday BBQ at the park!

My parents and Mason went to that cabin over by sandpoint, however they failed to take pictures...well i think Mason may have...but they're kind of weird...and i dont know how to mess with his camera...so I'm not going to post any!!

18 yrs of wedded bliss; 3 yrs. of not so much fun

2008-02-11T10:30:00.000-08:00

Spencer and I will be celebrating our 21st wedding annivisary on the 13th.

3 kids and 2 dogs later we are still happy to be together (most of the time). We were actually married on Friday the 13th which has turned out to be lucky day for us. I guess we are old married farts because we will probably go out to lunch to celebrate, Spencer has 2 meetings that night. Oh well, it will be nice to spend a little bit of time with him during the day. You know I still think he's kinda cute!

Love Ya Babe

A random thought from Hannah!

2008-01-31T19:34:00.001-08:00

Ok...so I dedicate this to Colleen, because she said that I should create a blog for myself, and post my thoughts! So I'll just post some on here I hope it makes you happy! ;) OK....so yesterday I was at swimming, and I got to thinking...because that's what you do when you swim! So once you get married your spouse becomes your parents son or daughter in law! That's obvious, and you are your parents daughter...or son! So that means you are your parents daughter/son and your spouse is your parents son/daughter....so that means you're brother and sister...Ok well...sorta....maybe not So Mom, if in the end I'm just gunna be married to my "Brother" why not just marry that cousin of mine that I saw at Don's house like three years ago, that is like my third cousin?hahahahaha just kidding!

PS: I stole this picture from Colleen! Go look at ther wedding site: http://colleendonovan.com/

A Fabulous Day

2008-01-24T14:57:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Debbie Morrison and I took 4 of the missionaries to the Spokane Temple. It was good to get away. . The missionaries were very inspiring young men, they were kind, considerate, cheerful and very easy to be around. I hope when Dylan goes on his mission that people in the areas where he serves can say the same about him. It was nice to be in the Temple (even though Spencer couldn't go)but going with a good friend and happy travelers made it A Fabulous Day!

dreaming of Seaside

2008-01-22T21:18:00.000-08:00

All this cold weather has us dreaming of Seaside and wishing we were there enjoying the sand and the sea! Hope this satisfies all you who have been thinking it is time for us to add something new!

Happy New Year

2008-01-03T16:31:00.001-08:00
