BOOK OF MORMON
I assigned out parts of the lesson to the Beehives and had them teach (since none of them want to teach the whole lesson themselves) :). They did a great job! Made my job a little easier. Hopefully they all learned something. 4-24-16
FRIENDS
When Jack woke up really late this morning, after all the kids had left for school, he was in a bit of a funk. I had been down rocking Molly in total silence, so he couldn't find me right away and worried about that and then once he did find me he was confused about where everyone was. It was so cute how he asked about each one, "Where Brad?" "He's at school." "Where Erika?" "She's at school." "Luke???" "Yep, school too." .... and he seriously went through all the kids before coming to grips with the reality that they were gone. It was pretty sad (and really cute). He told me that they are his "friends"! And he doesn't like it when his friends are gone. So sweet. I love watching these sibs. 4-25-16
CAFE RIO TO MCD'S
Went to lunch with my mom. We had a nice time. Felt good to get out. Jack loved playing basketball with her and Erika talked about her kindergarten program. 4-25-16
FHE
I let Bradley and Noah teach Molly's lesson this week since they are both trying to earn their Faith in God awards. It's cute how motivated Noah is by all of it :). Bradley is getting there. He's only got six more months, so hopefully Noah can help me help him :). They did a great job talking about the sacrament and how we renew our baptismal covenants. I especially loved their testimonies at the end. We all made lists of what we can do to maintain our faith. I loved seeing that Luke wrote "work on faith in God" on his list. Good boys. We played dad's cup game with the dots inside the cups and we passed them "To the right, to the right, to the right". It was funny that Nate got out first both times and Bradley was second both times! I think the best part of the night was letting Jack be the caller and how proud he was of himself (as he should be, he did so good! The kid can keep a beat!), "I good at that game!" I loved his enthusiasm and boost of self esteem! He had fun even! So then we went to Taco Time for churros for the treat :). My idea of course :). 4-25-16
STEVIE-POO
I got to go to lunch with my cute little brother on Tuesday! *yep, out to lunch two days in a row! Anything for Steve :) ) I was so happy we got to get together today!! Steve is one of the few people I feel completely myself with and like he actually likes me for who I am and not just bears with me in spite of who I am. He's just a really good friend! We sat and talked while the kids played at CJ's for a good hour!!! Just like the good ol' days. I'm happy for him to feel so good right now, I hope things keep looking up for him. 4-26-16
GO PIRATES!
Noah's first baseball game today! He did great! Got an out on 2nd base, just like a pro! We were so proud of his hits and all his hard work! This really looks like his sport. I hope he's enjoying it as much as we enjoy watching him. I'm really excited for this season! 4-26-16
FAMILY PICTURE
Everyone came, stood on our front porch for a picture in the rain and then left :). It was fun to see Brent and Sarah and their kids. It was fun that Luke, Noah and Erika wanted to go to Heidi's with them for dinner and hang out some more. I'm glad they got to do that. Kelly had Lacrosse and the rest of us had our ward ice cream social, so we had to opt out of Heidi's dinner. When they all left, it felt so empty, I thought- with so few people, we gotta go to dinner :). So off to Zupas we went :). It's fun to do things when there's only a few of us. We had a lot of fun at the ice cream social as well. I'm glad I indexed, made the ice cream taste better :). hahaha! Just kidding. I actually didn't even get any ice cream.... weird... 4-27-16
MOVIE NIGHT
Since the Hatches cancelled on us to go hang out with Heidi and Grandma again, we carried out our plan B for the evening. For the past six or so months, the kids have had to earn their movie nights by keeping the house clean. They were only 6 points away this Friday so they worked real hard to get their six points and then after seeing a trailer for it, consented to watch Little Rascals! One of my favorite movies as a kid. I was so happy to hear their little chuckles during and then all the quoting that's gone on since... they liked it :). It's fun to share those things with them. Although, I must say I'm slightly disappointed in the movie- there are some things in there that are not really appropriate! How can they do that in a kid movie for kids, with kids!!!? 4-29-16
PARK CITY
Kelly's Lacrosse game was in Park City this week. We had our home teachers come at 9:00 am and then we bolted it out the door to be up there by 10:30! Amazing really. Unfortunately, right as we got there, these crazy gray clouds came closing in. It was FREEZING COLD the whole game!! I was so mad because I had failed to look at the weather thinking I could go off of Kaysville weather! Duh. So everyone was frozen again. Lame. We had blankets in the car still from last week, and we managed to stay alive, but it was slightly less enjoyable. It was fun to have Nate's parents show up during half time and such a fun intense game! Unfortunately we lost by two points. Kelly played Middie this time for the first time. She liked it. She's still not really sure what to do on Attack I think, so we'll have to work on that. He played her on Attack again too. So anyway. Good times. We got home and crashed probably wore ourselves out shivering. 4-30-16
