Well, another week has come and gone so I need to update ya’ll on our happenings.
Tuesday April 8 was a stay home day. We got all our school work and chores done, yay for us!!
Wednesday we went to P.E. in the morning and then came home for lunch and school and naps. It was another productive day.
Wednesday night Niah was just not feeling well. She was up most of the night with a “barky” cough, almost like croup. So Thursday was an interesting morning with Niah’s sickness. So I called in reinforcements. Scott came home about noon and “rescued” me! It was much needed. Jaime had a late piano lesson and then off to dance class. We had dinner and bedtime as soon as we got home.
Friday was another “easy” day. We did school and chores in the morning/afternoon. Then we met our friends at the park. Because it was such a nice day the kids had TONS of fun. Our friends the Bennett’s brought a kite to the park and everyone took turns playing and having fun. We left the park at 5:30 and headed over to Milo’s first sports class. It is a round robin class. So over the next six weeks they will do soccer, basketball and t-ball. Just a beginner course to see what Milo will be interested in. He did a great job. Size wise, he is taller and bigger than all the other kids. Skill wise, he is better than some and slower than others, so I think he is in the right level for now. I just wish he were with some older kids that he could make friends with. Dad beat us home and already had dinner going. We had a late dinner since Milo’s class is so late but it was fun to sit around as a family and enjoy that time together.
Saturday morning, April 12, I woke up early and went to the temple. Scott and I have given up on going to the temple as a couple. Our time will come. For now we alternate Saturday’s and go by ourselves. Anyway, I got in on a Spanish session (which I already knew that that was going to happen because it happened to Scott last time). It was the first time in a long time that I had so many people try and talk to me in Spanish. I forget sometimes that people think that of me because of my dark hair and skin. I sat next to someone that was as pregnant as I am, too bad I couldn’t communicate with her! When I got home, Scott had motivated the kids to get their chores done. We had lunch and then we went to a birthday party for Sam Bennett. It was at the park and it was soooo fun. They had a lot of silly games and fun snacky foods and really good cup cakes. We stayed for 3 hours. It’s been getting hotter here, so we stopped by the store and grabbed a few things so we could do meat sandwich’s for dinner so we didn’t have to heat up the kitchen with cooking. After the sandwich’s we did baths and bed. Unfortunately, it was soooo hot that the kids didn’t fall asleep till after 9. Scott and I stayed up finishing things for Sunday. We were in bed sleeping by 10:30pm. Great hour to go to sleep!!
Today has been great so far. We got to church on time (which was 30 minutes early because I had to set some stuff up in the primary room). The kids were good during Sacrament meeting and primary was good. I did have to take one little boy to his mom. Toby Bennett, great kid, Milo’s best friend, but he was just having a hard time today. I tried to get him to sit with me and enjoy what was going on, but he just didn’t want to. Finally I asked him if he wanted to go see his mom, he thought that was a great idea and so down we went. I’m grateful for my calling. I love those primary kids and I love how enthusiastic they are and how willing they are to do what we ask them to do. Kids are awesome. Oh ya, I am officially released as the Provident Living leader now. The Bishop told me that if the brethren in Salt Lake knew that I had two callings right now, they would not be happy with him. So they officially released me today. Carolyn Littlejohn now has the calling. What’s ironic about that is that she had the calling many years ago and a lot of what I did was inspired by what she had done when she was in the calling! Too funny. Great lady, I really like her. Now we are home and having quiet time. I’m typing away at this computer, Scott is typing away at his computer, Jaime is writting letters, Alix is reading and the other three are napping. It’s warm here today but the house is cool!! We are going to bbq later and Scott has some H.T.’ing to do.
I don’t have any fun sayings from the kids. I’m sure they said some, I just didn’t take the time to write them down, too bad. I did want to report though that Afton is getting really good with her talking. One cute thing she does is call anything and everything that climbs a tree or flies in the air a duck. A bird, a squirrel anything, it’s a duck.
We have a church building here that we call the Walnut building because it is on Walnut Avenue. On our way to church this morning, Milo asks ‘Mom, do they store walnuts in the walnut building?’ Too funny!
We love you all and hope all is well. Much love.
