WARD CONFERENCE
Our theme was Alma 5. I loved Ward conference! President Taylor is the best. Primary was a little boring. I don't feel like they left enough time for music. But that's just my opinion. 3-24-19JACK'S LEMON BARS
Jack and I had rescheduled our Lemon Bar date for a whole day, so the anticipation had totally built up by the time we got to do it Sunday evening! He was so happy :). Turns out he's pretty good at squeezing lemons! He even let Molly in on things and we all had a great time making them! Jack has been way into cooking and cutting up veggies lately- it's been really cute for him to have this thing. 3-24-19
OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN
We finished our Saints book last week and there isn't a Volume 2 yet, so I looked through the shelf this Sunday and found my grandparents' copy of Other Side of Heaven. So we started reading that together. Turns out everyone loves it! They were begging me for "one more chapter" every time we finished one. Lots of fun! It'll be fun to watch the movie when we're done too- love that movie :). 3-24-19
MOVEMENT AT MUSIC MAKERS
We were in charge of movement time at Music Makers this month and I was not overly impressed with my choice of stuff. I'm super glad it's over. Next time I need to have more variety. Molly loved the kites, rainbows, and bear hunt though, and had a great time, so I guess it was fine. 3-25-19
KELLY SPORTS MEDICINE
We finally got in to see Sports Medicine- apparently when they say, "they will contact you" they mean, call us in a few days and we will give you the number to schedule it yourself. This appointment left me in a little bit of a funk. I wanted a more certain diagnosis. Not just a "yeah, sure seems like a concussion". And another, "They'll contact you... if you don't hear from them in two weeks, call us and we'll give you their number, even though I just told you we don't have their number- our bad." Just kidding, that's not what she said. But that is what she meant. Seriously, why have a follow up in two weeks if you haven't even been in for a single therapy visit because it took them more than two weeks to contact you?? Just give me the freaking number and I will call them myself! UGH. Not overly impressed with this place. But it is super close and convenient, so I keep giving them another chance. I'm praying for a miraculous recovery by Kelly. Vestibular Therapy, here we come. 3-25-19
FHE- Feeding 5,000
Brad gave an awesome lesson about the loaves and fishes. It was cool that he had salmon and bread to pass around while we read the scriptures and discussed the story. He did a great job! We played basketball (gimp squad- me, kelly (don't tell her I called her that), eventually Charity and Erika- injured during play-- cheered!) in the backyard. First time as a whole family on our new court! Then Noah and Nate went and got Dippin dots for his treat for everyone! Yum! And of course we watched the Jazz kill the Suns afterwards. 3-25-19
CLOSET ORGANIZING
On the way home from reading with Erika's class, I convinced Molly that she wanted to help me "organize my closet". I chose the word organizing at the last minute and it WORKED! She and I worked our bums off for two hours! Went through all of my fabric that I've been hanging on to for the past... too long! I moved it from three large totes to just the two drawers in my sewing desk and one small box. Freed up a LOT of space in our closet! Made me happy! Although, now my back is killing me. Not sure how to fix that. But feels good to get something done. Besides laundry and dishes of course. 3-26-19
NOAH RELIGIOUS DUTY TO GOD AWARD
Noah was awarded his Duty to God award this week! So proud of him! And we know he actually did this because his leaders do not let things slip through :). Great job, Noah! 3-26-19
I took Noah, Erika, Jack and Molly to Heritage park for Mutual tonight. I really like Wednesday evening better when we have something fun to do. The weather has been awesome lately and we've really been enjoying some sun! These four get along pretty well these days. I appreciate them making things fun for Molly and playing with her and letting them play along with them. They're good to her. There were a million mosquitoes eating me alive, so we left to get some ice cream cones at Arctic Circle on our way home. Fun evening. 3-27-19
Things are going pretty good right now with the pregnancy. Nothing major to talk about. I'm getting frustrated with my clothes, but that's pretty normal. I think the good thing about being pregnant right now is Jack and Molly's constant excitement about this baby. Any time Jack has something exciting to talk about he asks us if we think he's excited about that or the new baby. "Do you think I'm excited for baseball to start or for the new baby?" Then we say, "Probably both!" And he gets all giddy and says, "How did you know!" It's the cutest thing! He gets the biggest smile and is so happy for this baby! I love it! Molly too. You can tell she has no idea what to expect with the new baby of course, but she talks about her all the time still :). Super cute. I have been trying to avoid some of the major things that would cause any bleeding or any problems with the Placenta Previa if I do in fact have it. But there have been a few days I overdid it and regretted it, but only because I was so tired. No bleeding which has been a huge blessing. I'm hoping the placenta will just move back like it did with Molly. I'm trying to have faith and not be too stressed about it. 3-28-19
JACK'S CLASS FOR READING
I was reading with Jack's class today in little reading groups and we weren't getting alonga s well as usual because he was taking too long to fill out his paper. It was time to go and he came to give me a hug and then lined up to go to class. I was talking to Mrs. Burns a little about the newborn diapers she's offered us and some newborn clothes and then I looked over at Jack and he looked really sad. I could barely get him to look at me, which was strange, but I really thought it was because we'd been struggling a little to get along. So I followed his class back to their room and when I had him out in the hall to ask him what was up he reluctantly told me, "When I went to hug you, I stabbed myself in the belly button with my pencil!" Totally unexpected response! I gave him a big hug and we checked on his belly button and tried ot make things right. I was mostly just glad he didn't hate me. But it was super cute of him. 3-29-19
TOILET WATER
I totally dropped my phone in the toilet!! The unthinkable!! It fell out of my back pocket and luckily I noticed before sitting down! I just reached my hand in and got it, didn't even think about it! Now it's sitting in a bowl of rice. It better be okay!! I'm stressing a little. Hopefully it's okay though. Well, see. 3-29-19
RELAX
We had kind of a relaxing week this week. I keep trying to think of things we did and either I've just forgotten it all or we didn't do anything :). It was a nice Friday where everyone just kind of hung out here, mostly- Kelly was being tortured by the officials at her game in Riverton, Noah was watching a movie at Patane's- but other than that, we sent Charity to the store for treats and sat and watched the Jazz game together! Pretty fun Jazz game too. Just a nice relaxing day. 3-29-19
We got some March snow this week! Kinda nuts, but look at Jack making the most of it :). 3-29-19
Got pizza for dinner and I about died when I saw that only ONE of the THREE pizzas I had bought had been eaten! We even had a few friends over! So we should have at least eaten the usual two!! I was bugged, so I teasingly told Bridger and Brad they weren't allowed to do anything else until the second pizza was gone. This was Brad's solution :). "EAT MORE PIZZA PEOPLE!" 3-30-19
SPRING CLEANING
I forced everyone to clean up the game room this Saturday. That poor room. It's been really sad for the past... who knows how long. It's the first step in many to clean up our downstairs and make it a more comfortable place for people. So it was necessary. Most of the kids helped pretty good. Some are better than others at escaping and flying under the radar. Nate had a few other things to get done too, so it was mostly me and a few kids, but we got it done! I was pretty shocked that it took the whole three hours though. I don't even know if we got to the cupboards above the sink. Kind of doesn't matter I guess. I started on the storage room a little, because we had pulled all the games out and we were able to get rid of a LOT of stuff from the two shelves I went through. Kind of nice! Something that needs to be done more often apparently! So anyway. Torture over. We can start Spring break now :). 3-30-19
JACK
Jack is suddenly super tough- it's so weird :). He keeps getting these crazy scrapes and stuff and coming to me, tear-free, and letting me know what happened, asking for a bandaid, there was one time that he had torn his pants, so he was starting to cry about the hole, but not even all that concerned about all the blood. Kind of interesting! 3-30-19
