Sunday July27 came way too early!! But we were actually up and going on time. We made it to church with out any problem. I enjoyed introducing Mandi to all my friends who have only heard about her. I was able to show her off in primary and then we came home. We put the little ones to nap while Scott did his home teaching. Mandi and I spent the afternoon looking through old year books and telling the kids stories about us and the times we had in high school. I think the kids enjoyed it for a while and then got a little board of our reminiscing. By the time Scott came home we had given up on that and were getting dinner ready. After dinner Mandi and I stayed home to put the little ones to bed while Scott and Jaime and Alix delivered invites for our neighborhood party. After everyone was in bed, Scott tried to stay up but was too tired. We lost him about 9:30. Mandi and I stayed up till 2:30am. We talked and enjoyed our last night together. When I went to bed, Mandi decided it would be easier for her to just stay up. I got up at 3:45 and took her to the airport. Boy was I tired!!

Monday was a hard morning. I ended up just letting the kids watch a couple of movies while I slept. Keri was sleeping and so it was the perfect time. Keri let me sleep till 9:45!! When I finally came to life I felt pretty good. But then I realized I was suppose to be at my friends house canning. So I showed up a little late. Anyway, I canned kidney beans. It went REALLY bad. However, I’m not willing to rid our house of them, so we have been eating A LOT of beans!! It’s been fun but I made A LOT of beans, so I need to come up with more recipes!! :-o We spent the rest of the day recovering from the weekend. We had dinner and FHE and then off to bed, all of us!!

Tuesday we stayed home and “recovered” more. Good thing too. I woke up feeling pretty awful; sore throat, headache, achy muscles….. I took lots of naps and tried to feel better fast. Jaime went to activity days and had a GREAT time. She said that one of the girls brought a friend and the friend was from Jaime’s dance class. Jaime said they had a great time together and they performed their dances for everyone. Jaime was born to dance.

Wednesday July 30, was stay home and enjoy the “relaxed” atmosphere of home day!! I was feeling better but still not 100%. I was getting worried because I needed to be well for Friday.

Thursday I was even better but still felt a little wore out. But we did piano and ran some errands anyway. Usually we go swimming but Laura’s pool was being worked on so she had to cancel. We weren’t sure what to do with ourselves so we came home and vegged another day. What fun! Really it’s nice to just be home.
