We had a great day! She woke up to a Kelly original sign! So fun!! I wish I'd planned ahead on the food, but I didn't. Oh well. We did a lot of her favorites the day before, so all is well. Lots of Sunday birthdays this year! She got sung to and got her little card to go get popcorn from the Bishop. Then when we had Family Council, we let Erika open up her remaining presents from us- the leggings, blanket and the Skip-It. She seemed very happy with her gifts! I was glad :). Dad left and then everyone kind of bummed around until Family Meeting. We went up to Grandma Ruthie's where everyone spoiled her there. We sang to her and all the November and December birthdays. She seemed to have a happy time. I was glad. It's tricky on Sundays :). 11-10-19
MOLLY LIVES HER SADIE
Sunday, Molly had been pushing her doll around in her stroller. But she did the cutest thing, she parked her little stroller right next to Sadie in her swing on the floor and was just chatting it up with her! It was so precious!! “Sadie do you like my purse?... do you like it like this (switches how she’s holding it) or like this??” Then she got her baby out of the stroller while she’s fanning away, lifts up her shirt and proceeds to nurse her baby and talk at the same time 😂😂😂. She’s so funny!! So cute! I about died. It was the sweetest 10 minutes! 11-10-19
FAMILY MEETING
We were late because we stopped at my moms to drop off laundry and found out that Simon might have a tumor. We said a prayer in the car for him then raced up to the family meeting- going the speed limit of course. But everyone waited for us. The lesson was on self reliance. Other than it being longer that my attention span it was really great! Fun talking with everyone. Hearing Meg’s work drama. 11-10-19
LAUNDRY
With no washer for a full week, we were running low on clean clothes. Thankfully, my mom let me run a few loads at her house Monday afternoon. Molly, Sadie and I overstayed our welcome watching movies and eating food. It was a fun time and productive as well. Thankfully, my mom was willing to bring the last two loads with her to Erika's party that night. Baby steps to Friday! 11-11-19
ERIKA'S FAMILY PARTY
Erika's party was a lot of fun! Grandpa Hatch, Grandma Hatch, Uncle Dan and Aunt Adele and their kids all came! It was so fun to have Dan and his family! We don't get to see them enough. Erika had a good time. We had cupcakes and ice cream and then opened presents. She got legos and one of the heating pad stuffed animals she's been wanting! It was pretty relaxed evening, but I think Erika enjoyed it! Happy Birthday big girl!! No more growing! 11-11-19
SADIE FOUR MONTHS
We went in for her well-child check and it went REALLY WELL!! I was super happy with all the things we talked about! First and foremost- her eyes! They are fine! That was a huge relief. I was starting to get worried about her. She seems to be focusing a little more when you're holding her but enough other socializing as well that we are no longer worried about that either. He complimented on how soft her skin is! Go Norwex baby cloth! A first for us! (Sadie is all about firsts!) He wants us to work on letting her lay on the floor on a blanket and reaching for toys and rolling over. She has been such a joy to have in our home! Such a sweet little thing. Everyone still loves her to pieces and really can't get enough of her. She coos and makes sweet little noises now. She has an abundance of drool which always makes me think of Uncle Brent :). She loves looking around. She is very busy mentally it seems, just looking around and taking everything in. She has started giggling which is so stinkin' cute! She loves her big sister Molly and looks for her and smiles at her every chance she gets. The feeling is mutual for Molly. I wonder if they will ever tire of each other... I hope not :). She is a great sleeper. Even sleeps through the night a lot of the time. She naps a ton. Eats a ton. Cries when she's tired and then takes another nap ;). She likes her pink flamingo toy and now her little chain links. She loves to be facing out when you hold her. Don't even think about relieving your arms and turning her around... she will not have that. Her cute hair is very thin these days. Not as dark and very very thin :). Dad calls it her mad scientist hair :). She loves her baths! She doesn't love her carseat. Nor does she enjoy her hiccups that have been the norm for her ENTIRE life! Including in the womb. Poor girl. She gets them all. the. time. She loves her Daddy and his singing. She likes most people's singing, just not mine. That is annoying. But I have found that she enjoys the nature sounds on my phone and will fall asleep to that occasionally. She is growing. She has outgrown a lot of her 0-3 month clothes already. Mostly the pants. She is growing too fast for me. I'm not ready to be done having my last infant. We sure love her though. She is a beautiful little addition to the family. Not sure what it was like without her now. 11-12-19
STRETCH OUT SAM
Tuesday my beloved Stretch out Sam game came! Molly and I couldn't resist, we had to get it out and play with it! It was even better than old times! Now I just need to get Steve over here to play it with me :). "She plays Stretch Out Sam with me" 11-12-19
PLAYGROUP
Had to listen to a really annoying "big families are horrible" conversation at Playgroup this week. Not my favorite and it's really stuck with me for some reason. I wish I could just forget about it. I love my big family. And really- it's all about perspective! The other day, Molly said, "I wish we had a big family. With lots of kids!" So cute! 11-12-19
BRAD'S CCR
We had Brad's CCR appointment this Wednesday. I ditched Nate with the little girls and went to talk about Brad's future. It was interesting. I think it was mostly good. I appreciate the effort in trying to get him to think about and plan for his future. Helps him recommit to getting good grades again too. It gets me curious about what he might end up doing in his future! We mentioned Pediatrician and he's running with that for now. His other choices were something technological/engineering and something cooking! Pretty cool. We'll see how it goes! 11-13-19
FREE ZOO DAY
Well, free zoo day was PACKED!! We were not the only ones with the idea. We had one heck of a time getting a parking spot which I hope I never have to relive again. Then met up with Emily and Jonah for a day of crowds and crying. Poor Molly did not seem to be in the right mood for the zoo. It was really annoying actually. Could have been all the people... not sure... but it wasn't my favorite trip to the zoo. We will have to try again another time for something better. Maybe next time we can just pay and go when it's not packed. Nate went fishing with Alan while we were gone :). 11-13-19
LAST YOUNG WOMAN IN EXCELLENCE
I think this was probably the last one of these! There was some drama with Charity and a miscommunication on the start time, and since she had to work, she wasn't able to be there for most of it. I was glad she came though and that she got to bear her testimony. Kelly was there too- this was our first one with just Kelly :). We ate soups and then had a little program with the girls talking and then Natalie Clemens gave a talk about witnesses- expert witnesses- pretty cool. I was happy we went, even though I had tried to talk Kelly into playing hookie. Pretty historical to have this be the last one too! I wonder what the new program will be like! 11-13-19
CATERING
Nate had a catering job this Thursday- for a lunch in Foxboro. It was quite the mad dash to get all the food ready in time. I was happy to help with the potatoes and beans. I am still amazed at how he transported it all without any spills! Amazing really. This job was kind of a blessing and amazingly the check he received was for almost the exact amount of our washer! Pretty cool! 11-14-19
SO CUTE
Sadie: crying on my bed while I get dressed.
Molly (comes in the room): oh Sadie Sadie Sadie! Are you sad?? Do you want me by you?
(Climbs on bed next to her)
Sadie: crying 😭
Molly: Don’t be sad!
Sadie: crying 😭
Molly (interspersed w cries from sadie) Sadie, don’t be sad... Jesus doesn’t want us to be sad does he?... Jesus doesn’t want us to be sad... does he?... does he, Sadie?... does he?
Sadie: still crying 😭
Molly: (singing) 🎶 Christmas, Christmas, is, we’re gonna get some presents, presents, we’re gonna be happy... 🎶
Sadie: (smiling and staring at her big sister) gah.
One of the cutest moments ever!!!
TITHING SETTLEMENT
Tithing settlement left me wanting after. Not sure what for. We all had paid a full tithe and all was well that way, but it was annoying that nobody has really earned money this year. I want to get back into that so that they can pay tithing! Earning money is good! We'll have to work on this somehow. 11-14-19
WASHER
OUR WASHER CAME!!! Friday morning! It was so heavenly taking that first load of towels out of the washer! They smelled good!!!! Sounds silly, but this was actually very remarkable! I was in heaven! We had a little drama with the dryer now being funky and then some crazy fun with the washer, but overall- it's been a great little investment! So happy to have something to wash our clothes in that doesn't make them crunchy or stinky. 11-15-19
My mom came for piano lessons and brought Porter along. Molly was adorable with him- teaching him how to wash the windows with the sweetest little teaching voice :).
WARD PIE NIGHT
Ward Pie Night was great! We all went, ate pie, visited, and had a good time! Then we came home to take advantage of our new Disney Plus and watched Journey of Natty Gann! Good times! 11-15-19
1ST DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY
When I went to ned tonight there was a box of LOTS of pear jelly bellies on my bed with a cute note that said it is 40 days til my birthday, this is the first one and my true love gave to me... what a cool idea!! There was some sweet words as well, making me feel special!! How fun is that!! I am really excited ツ. 11-15-19
JACK'S GAME
Crazy mom chewed us out for accidentally pulling her son out instead of a different one. Kind of blew up at her and then we moved on. Hopefully there are no hard feelings for the rest of the season. Jack played GREAT!! Made a really amazing block!! I loved it! 11-16-19
I just love how these kids love her! And look at her cute face!
"Ewika gave me dith and it'th acthelly kinda good!" (Fun Dip)
Look how she looks up at her big sis!
Cutest smile!!
2ND DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY
Tonight there was a small plaque with a cute quote about how my kids are the reason I wake up each morning, the reason I am losing my hair and the reason I’m crazy ツ It’s way cute! Along with it was a note from Charity! Surprise to see a note from her because I thought this was Nate’s thing ツ. But so fun!! She’s so sweet to me- I loved reading what she had to say. 11-16-19
