Friday

My day was good. I made it thru Friday. It was a pretty day outside. I am all set to come up tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a really good but busy day.  It was so nice to have Mom here and we got a lot done.  This morning we went shopping and got the rest of the stuff for the parties.  We can home and put the Valentine party stuff together.  I went and helped in Oliver's class for a bit.  When I came home we went to Jimmy Johns for lunch and it was really good.  I love it there.  Mom went and helped in Isaac's class.  Me and Casey went and helped in Oliver's class.  Both parties went well and the kids had a fun time.  We went to the mall after school and got Ruthie some pretty dresses with high heels.  She was insistent on them.  We also got the boys some new shoes.  Oliver bought me a heart ring at the mall for Valentines day.  It was really cute and sweet of him.  He went to Mom and said that he needed a private moment with her.  He told her his plan and they bought the ring.  He gave it to me when we got home.  Ruth made me a bracelet that was really sweet also.  We had Salmon for dinner and it was really good.  We spent the rest of the evening getting ready for the party tomorrow.  It is all ready and should be a fun time.  We have six kids coming to the friend party so it will be perfect.  Thanks for coming up tomorrow and drive safe.

Love

Happy Valentines day

We had a really nice day. It was busy but everything went so smooth. Rachel did a good job on the Valentine's party. She made salmon for dinner and it was amazing. We are all ready for Pokemon parties tomorrow. Cakes are being decorated as I type.  Hope your valentines was fun. Love mom

Thursday

It was a really pretty day today and it was so nice to see the sun.  Mom made it up safe and we are excited to have her.  It was a nice day.  We just played at home this morning and that was nice.  I helped in Isaac's class this afternoon and then ran some errands.  Ruthie had her valentine day party at her school today and she loved all her valentines.  She was so happy.  We walked to pick up the boys and then they rode their bikes for a while, it was really nice.  We went out to El Tojo with Mom for dinner and it tasted really good.  They sang Happy Birthday to Oliver and he loved that.  It is nice to have Mom here.  I finished a quilt last night and I love it.  It was so fun to make.  Love you guys and have a good Valentines Day.

Love

Thursday

My day was good as well. Work is staying busy so it makes time go by fast. It is still cold here. It has been warming up a little though so there is still hope for spring. I have an assignment in my art class that I need ideas for. The assignment is:

 In this project, you will illustrate the principle of chiaroscuro by uploading two images that you compose and take with your camera.  Please use two completely different subjects and not just two versions of the same thing

So if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks and I hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow. Bye

Thursday

The best part of today was knowing tomorrow I Friday. I'm so ready for a weekend. Me and Jeramy got a little ceasers tonight we were over it lol. Jenkins was wild tonight and kept wanting to go out. I keep feeling like March is so far away. But it's coming I'm packing for Chicago next week at work. It came so fast. so that means work will be out of control for a few weeks.

Ready to move

It was a good day at work today.  We had a baby shower for one of the guys that I go to lunch with. His wife is having a little girl.  I am starting to get caught back up.  I am going into to work a little early so I can get some more caught back up.  I am leaving for Logan after work  I am hoping to leave around 4 or so.  Maybe beat some of the rush hour traffic.  I am all packed up and have everything in the car.  We rented the Uhaul tonight and got some movers for 3 hours.  The moving from 3 stories is looking better and better.  I am happy for you Robin.  Karen thanks for picking dad up on Saturday for the birthday party.  LOVE YOU ALL MOM

Wednesday

Robin, that works perfect.  We will be down to help on the 22nd.  Do you need our trailer?  Isaac said his stomach was hurting this morning and he felt like he was going to throw up so he stayed home.  He rested all day so I don't think he was feeling great.  I skipped exercise class and we cleaned the house and organized Oliver's party a bit.  It was nice to have some time to do stuff.  I had quilt group today and I left Isaac home.  He was fine and it was fun to go to quilt group.  I also had to help in Oliver's class which went good.  Oliver went home with his friend and had a play date.  I had to run to the store and get some groceries so I did that and then picked up Oliver.  It was a busy day and I felt bad I had to leave Isaac but I think he was ok and didn't mind.  Drive safe tomorrow Mom and thanks again.

Love
Rachel

Wednesday

It snowed here this morning. But it didn't snow enough to stick so that was nice. Work is going good. Just the usual there. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Today was good. Nothing to wild, work was work.i guess the seller of the house is out of town till next week and we can't close till he comes back. So we probably won't close Friday. It might be closer to the 20th. But that's ok we still are planning on moving the 22nd. We are getting movers to help on Saturday at Taylorsville since the stairs are terrible.but Lehi house we will need help. I'm thinking sometime around 12-1 ish. Hopefully it won't be too crazy and we will be done quick.

Tuesday

Congratulations on the house Robin, that will be fun.  We can help move on the 22nd if you want.  Today was good.  We were out of Chocolate milk so we went to the cheese factory to get some.   I needed some cheese cubes for the valentines day party but they didn't have any cheddar so I will try Sam's tomorrow.  After school we did valentines for school.  The kids all wrote their names on them.  Sometimes it take a couple days to do it but they did really good and we finished it all.  Casey and Isaac had activity days and they made a plan for what they want to do this year.  After that I had a stake primary meeting.  So it was a busy night.  Love you guys and have a good night.

Love
Rachel

Tuesday

Work was busy but that is the norm.  I am behind again the norm but I had a nice day.  I am starting to calm down and that helps.  We went shopping to all a dollar after work and then Walmart.  It was nice to walk around.  The really nice thing was it was still light when we were done.  That was so fun.  Robin I am so excited for your house.  Are you talking this week signing for your house?  That is so nice.  I have Monday off for the holiday if that is the case I could help move then as well.  Tomorrow we are having a baby shower for one of the people I go to lunch with.  His wife is having a little girl.  Rachel already made her a receiving blanket so I just got a few diapers and wipes.  I hope that is a good gift.  Everyone have a nice hump day.  LOVE MOM

Tuesday

That is neat you get to close on your house soon. If you need me to take time off to help move just let me know. My day has been good. It was super cold here today. I am so ready for it to be spring. Work was a little long. It was meeting day so I was in meetings all morning. I hope everyone had a great Tuesday. Bye

Today was good. It was busy at work but that's nothing new. It's been Chinese new year work and all of our factories are delaying their start because of the cornavirus so hopefully we get the dresses we need soon. Our realtor called we might be able to close earlier than Thursday. We are going to see how it goes but we might sign Friday after work so we can get the keys for sure by the time we want to move. I'm excited to get a front yard for Jenkins he's been wild with most of our stuff in boxes.

bee mine

Today was a Monday but I made it out alive. I came home and made a Valentine's box for a work thing. I tried to make bee honey comb but it turned out all right. All my craft stuff is packed so I had to get savy with what I had out. The bank lady called me. We are set to close on the 20th everything came back great. So we are planning to move on that Saturday the 22nd. 

Back to the real world

So I made it back to work even on time.  I was there by 6 this morning.  I got payroll done and had a good day.  I am getting a lot calmer for sure.  I picked up drugs on my way home from work and then we just vegged and watched TV.  We watched the Designative Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland the first one was really good.  Rachel those flowers are really pretty.  Ruth looks so pretty today.  Isaac got his hair cut. He is looking taller.  Well everyone have a great Tuesday.  That is weird you got snow today Rachel.  It got really black for awhile here also.  LOVE YOU MOM

Monday

Thanks for taking pictures Karen.  I am so glad that you had a fun time.  That is awesome.  I was brave and walked today and it was nice.  We went to exercise class and it wore me out.  It was snowing like crazy this afternoon and then cleared up by the time I picked up Ruth.  Oliver went to school early and I think it will be good for him.  They do it everyday but Friday.  I gave the teacher the invitations for his party and she is going to hand them out tomorrow.  We made some roses from a kit Ruth bought at Micheal's and they turned out cute.  We are itching for spring so Casey put the computer Karen got Isaac on his bike.  They are excited to ride bikes again.  Love you guys.

Love
Rachel

Monday

Sorry I didn't blog last night. I washed all my clothes that smelled like cigarette smoke and then I fell asleep. It was a fun trip. it was nice to see the sun and have warm weather. I am glad that the kids got some fun stuff with the gift cards. My day was good. I spent most of the day going thru and answering emails. It would have been a lot faster if they just needed a simple answer and not for me to make stuff, but I got thru them all, so yeah for me. After work I came home and did homework. So nothing too exciting but I did manage to sty wake while reading the chapter in the book so that is something. I hope that everyone had a great Monday. Bye

Home again Home Again

We made it home safe and sound.  It was a blizzard from St. George to Cedar City.  It was kind of bad but it was nice to see sunshine when we got closer to home.  We had a really nice time in Las Vegas.  Me and Karen played electronic craps and that was fun.  We lost the first night but the second night I got really lucky and we won our money back.  Blue man was amazing and a really wonderful show.  I loved sight seeing around Las Vegas but there were a lot a girls walking around half naked to get your pictures taken with them and that was awkward.  Rachel I am glad you had a nice weekend.  Robin, I am excited for your moving date.  Keep us posted.  I am going to Logan after work on Thursday.  Dad and Karen are coming up on Saturday for Oliver's birthday party.  I have to go into work early tomorrow.  I am not looking forward to that.  When we left I had a bout 8 inches of snow on my car but when we got home it was all gone.  I thought I would have to shovel it out.  That was nice.  I got Ruth's letter it is so dang cute.  Thanks Karen for taking us.  LOVE MOM

Sunday

Today was good.  I had a meeting this morning and Casey watched the kids.  We went to church and Casey went to work.  Church went good and we are fully staffed which is really nice.  Isaac really liked the new game that he got with Karen's gift card and played it a lot this weekend.  We did go on a walk and the kids played in the backyard for a while which was nice.  It was a pretty day.  Love you guys and have a good Monday.  It is a busy week.

Love
