Thursday

 I went to see kay today. I picked up jeff today and we had a nice visit. She didn't want us to leave. I took jeff home and then went grocery shopping.  Rachel I am so sorry you had a bad day. I think classroom size is just too many kids. That can wear you out. Robin congratulations on pancakes. I am excited to hook up on Saturday. Rachel what time are you coming down. We are taking Karen out to dinner for her birthday tomorrow night. Have a nice Friday. Love you all so much. 

Thursday

 Isaac had early morning cross country and then he rode his bike to school since he got done before us.  Work didn't go great today.  It is so hard.  Hopefully tomorrow will go better.  Oliver had orchestra and Ruth had robotics club and they both had a really good time.  Me and Isaac went grocery shopping and then he had violin lessons.  I went to exercise class and it was weightlifting again.  Casey went running and Tony loves going with him.  Me and Oliver were thinking of fun embroidery designs and that was fun to work on with him.

Love Rachel 

Thursday

morning time is starting to become dark so it’s hard to wake up. Luna keeps waking up at 6:30 though and I feel like it’s midnight. Work went well I’m just cleaning stuff up. Next week is convention and the week after I technically start my new job. After work we went on a bike ride. Luna had one bite of pancake. So that was a win. She finally ate something new. Then she had Mac and cheese.

Wednesday

 I worked in the yard most of the day. The weather was so nice. I got a lot done. The garden still needs a lot of work. I am going to try and work on that on Friday. I am going to pick up jeff and we are going to see kay.  I am going to go grocery shopping tomorrow also. I am going to get treats for saturday. I am thinking of pizzas for lunch on saturday. I am glad you had nice day. I am going to look for robotic legos for christmas.  I thought that would be fun. Have a great Thursday. Love mom

Wednesday

 Traffic sucked here today also but I couldn't blame it on a shooting. My pump went off a bunch last night so I was tired today. I made it through work. I am working on revalidations so it is a bunch of data to go through. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Wednesday

 That is crazy about the freeway being shutdown, what a mess.  I don't work on Wednesday's so it is nice.  We rode bikes to school and it was fun.  I have been thinking of names and I was looking at websites and this one had a really interesting fill.  I was trying to get it to work for me but I was having a hard time so I worked on organizing and I almost have it done.  I met Casey for lunch and then I had quilt group.  It was fun to talk and everyone made such beautiful things.  Ruth wanted to go to Costco so we did and had samples.  Casey had activities days at our house and they roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  Ruth had activity days at the church and they played get to know you games.  She wasn't excited about it.  She said she won't go when they do princess day or a spa day because she doesn't like those things.  Then I went to exercise class and Casey went running.  We are on a roll exercising this week.

Love Rachel 

Wednesday

We needed to get our license and registration for the truck done. So I made an appointment to go to Provo dmv to get it done. It said in the paper work a dmv had to physically check the vin number. So Jeramy took the day off and pick me up at lunch to get the truck sorted. We got the title,registration and license plate all done. Driving home it’s was bumper to bumper traffic we had to turn around off the main road and take back roads because nothing was moving. Turns out someone Charlie Kirk was shot at uvu and it was blocking all the traffic in Provo area. The freeway was shut down from what I was told. Anyway I made it to work and it was fine. Then after Luna took a nibble of bacon and hasbrown just enough to get a sticker. But that’s about all she ate. She finally ate some Mac and cheese just before bed. We also went on a bike ride

Love you all mom

Tuesday

 Congratulations Robin, I am really excited for you.  You are amazing.  Today was good.  I had a light day at work and just had one class for typing and then some makeup testing.  I made numbers for all the computers.  I had my helper had out sign in card and he put them all in the wrong spot so I thought numbers would help.  I am trying to organize all my design files.  I haven't been very organized.  Ruth got into a robotics club that meets after school.  Her good friend is in it with her and she had a lot of fun.  Oliver started orchestra today and he likes that.  He practiced all summer and his teacher noticed.  Isaac had cross country after school.  I went grocery shopping and then picked everyone up.  Me and Isaac cooked dinner.  I like cooking with him because he is in a good mood when do it together.  I went to exercise class and Casey went running.

Love Rachel 

Oliver got a a candy bar from cello lessons yesterday and I forgot to post it 

Tuesday

They offered me the job today. So that was exciting. My official start date is 9/22. But it will be a soft transition. But that is when the new pay takes effect. We went to Costco after work to pick up Jeramy’s medicine. Luna was excited because we picked up pizza for dinner. She told me on the way home from work she’s not hungry because the food I cook isn’t good. She really hated the ideas of cheese quesadilla lol

Monday

 My day was good. I made it through Monday. That is always an accomplishment. I am excited for the new freeze tomorrow also. I hope everyone has a great one. Bye

Monday

 We had a nice anniversary. We took traxs downtown. We went to the organ recital at the tabernacle. They dont have any visitor center on temple square any more. The temple still looks all boarded up. We did have lunch and then walked around the church history museum. They did a good job. We took the kids there one time. We came home and just took it easy. Tomorrow my new freezer comes. I am excited to have one. I have missed it. I am sorry Luna wo t eat new things. I hope she didn't starve. Food aversion are hard. Rachel you are at a busy time of life. Enjoy it. Love mom

 We rode bikes and I love it.  My classes went better today and I really like seeing all the creative things the kids made.  It is non stop though.   The neighbor boy came over to play for a while.  Isaac had cross country and Oliver had cello lessons.  I organized all my embroidery designs, I haven't been very good at that.  I also went to exercise class and Casey went running.

Love Rachel 

Monday

Today was alright for a Monday. Work was steady. We are trying to get Luna to eat new foods. It’s been 4 years of Mac and cheese. The change isn’t going well. Let’s just say she’s has stubborn in her dna and she isn’t cracking. We cooked a cheese quesadilla and she cried the majority of the night. She still hasn’t taken one bite

Sunday

Sunday

 We had a quiet day.  I programmed and worked through some problems.  I was breaking my shakes into smaller shapes to fill them but it was working when I had homes that I wanted to take out.  I think I have it mostly figured out.  We went to church and I played the piano okay.  I should have practiced more during the week but it is fine.  Casey made lunch for us which was really good.  Oliver wanted to go to the park so we did that.  We threw the ball for toys and the kids played for a bit.  They did not want to go hiking today so we stayed home.  I love the movie k-pop demon hunters and we watched it again.  It is so good.

Love Rachel 

Saturday

 Karen said i forgot to blog last night but I just forgot to hit publish. I am not sure why the pictures ended up in the middle. I made sure my cursor was at the bottom of the page. I will have to work on that. We took the morning easy. I slept. We had lunch and then went to Lehi. We signed up Luna for swim lessons. They closed early but opened up for us.  We were leaving and karens car wouldn't start. Her battery was 8 years old. The lady had one of those battery starters so she gave us a boost. We went to Costco to get a new battery. Jeramy swapped it out for us in the parking lot. Lucky it all worked out.  We watched Luna while robin and jeramy went to dinner with the Grovers. Rachel that is a huge sale. Those are fun. That whip is cool. Did isaac make it on the team. He is one busy kid. Have a nice Sunday. Love mom

Friday

 I had a nice day. Da

d came home at noon and then we went to park city to see Isaac run. I enjoyed being outside. It was a really hard run. They had a huge hill to run up right at first. Rachel that is cool Ruth got her viola. I thought they did that in 5 th grade. You have an orchestra. We are going to go to Lehi tomorrow. Robin I thought for sure they would tell you about the job today. Crazy

 Love mom

Saturday

 My alarm didn't got off this morning and I missed the first exercise class but made it to the second one which was high.  It was so grumpy that I missed the first one.  It took half the class for me to feel better.  Casey left early this morning to map the cave at bear lake.  He had a fun time and got to go off the trail a bit.  Isaac tried out for pickleball for highschool this morning.  He needed a paddle so we ran and got him one, it was chaos.  Next to the pickleball courts they were having a large yard sale with a bunch of people so I went home and got the little kids and went to it when Isaac was done.  Oliver is cute at those things and he found a whip and a case to put it in.  I bought a lifetime supply of elastic for $5 which was probably stupid.  We got lunch at the food trucks.  I programmed and the kids played with the neighbors for a bit.  Isaac had. A fun violin recital and he did really well.  I think he plays amazing.  Casey was home when we got here.  I stitched out Ruth's profile because I love her hair. 

Love Rachel 

Friday

 We rode bikes to school and I love it.  The kids were really wild today but I had a couple good classes.  Bella came over to play after school and Oliver played with the neighbor for a bit.  Casey went up the canyon with his caving group to keep working on clearing out the cave entrance.  I worked on programming and fixed some problems.  Isaac had a cross country meet and thanks for going to it Mom.  Thanks for the pictures, I am glad he did okay.  

Love Rachel 

Friday

 Yeah, it's the weekend. Work was a little busy because i had to track down some paperwork that should have been closed on Tuesday. I found it but it took awhile. Other than that nothing much to report. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Bye

Thursday

 Isaac had cross country this morning and it is early. I redid the cello and it looks a lot better but it looks dark in the picture.  Work did not go great, the kids were all wild.  I even had to call for help with one class because he was throwing the mouse that the screen.  After school we went and got some things for the cross country pasta dinner and things we needed.  Then we dropped Isaac off at the cross country dinner.  Then we went and signed Ruth up for the Viola.  She was super excited and was so happy.  There were a lot of people and it took an hour and a half to get everything done.  I dropped the kids off at home and went to book group.  I just love those ladies and it was really fun to talk.  

Love Rachel 

Thursday

 I am glad that tomorrow is Friday also. My day was good. I am making progress at work so that is nice. I really don't have anything exciting to report. I hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow. Bye

 I went and saw kay today she just wasn't having a great day. Jen said she went this morning to visit her and she cried and cried. I think she is struggling. I ran errands and then went grocery shopping. I did get the branches cut up and put in the garbage. The front yard looks a lots better. It seemed busy today. Dad is taking a half day off tomorrow and going to park city to see Isaac run. I think that will be fun. Robin I am glad things are coming together for the convention. Not too much longer. Love mom

Thursday

Today was good. Allot of big orders that I had came in today so that relieved a lot of stress. All our spark plugs came in today for the truck so Jeramy worked on that and me and Luna hung out. She didn’t sleep great again and was a bit emotional all day. I’m glad tomorrow is Friday!

Wednesday

 Sorry I didn't blog last night. I fell sound asleep and didnt wake back up. Rachel your pictures are awesome. That is amazing. Robin I bet you are counting hours until convention. I am sorry Luna got scared. That can be traumatic for them. Isaac is growing up so fast. We had a roofers guy come and look at our roof. He is sending pictures to Karen. He thinks insurance Will help pay for it. I am going to go see kay tomorrow. I did get all the peaches done today. I had to just day some of them. Love mom

Wednesday

 Today was good because I didn't have to work.  I made three more embroidery designs but the cello and a picture I took at snowbird need more work.  I also finished the rows for my puff quilt and just need to put them together.  We rode bikes to school and that was really fun.  Oliver's friend Hayden came over and they played really cute together.  The neighbor boy came over for a bit and he was bossy.  Casey went with his caving group up the canyon to clear out an entrance to a cave.  I went to exercise class and Isaac went to play pickleball with his friends.  He signed up to join the pickleball club.  I forgot to put pictures from yesterday on and Isaac got his school pictures.

Last night Jeramy went on a walk when I put Luna down. He’s been trying to get steps in.Luna was scared he was going to be eaten by wolfs. I said he’s big and strong so he’ll be fine. Then she went off on how he was going to kill all the wolfs. We finally calmed down and she fell asleep. She woke up at two and then I got her down again. This morning I said was there something that woke her up at night. And she said she had wolfs in her eyes. lol so it was a whole deal. He went on another walk today and is safe from the wolfs. Work was busy convention time is coming up on the 17th and everything is a madhouse. After work we went grocery shopping and Luna got a candy for being nice. I wasn’t watching the time and now she is flying off the walls instead of going to bed. Mom fail

Tuesday

 My day was pretty good. I had trouble sleeping last night so I was tired today. I got a top for my desk so I can do a stand up desk now. It is nice to be able to do that. Other than that it was just the usual for me. I hope that everyone gets over the colds at your place soon, Rachel. I hate getting sick. Have a great Wednesday tomorrow everyone. Bye

Tuesday

 Isaac and Oliver have a runny nose and feel like they are getting a cold so that isn't fun.  I embroidered a tree today and it was a bit tedious stitching it but it looks good.  Work was good, I didn't have classes and I got caught up with everything I wanted to do.  We had library books due so we stopped and got new books after school.  Oliver played with the neighbor boy.  I talked with Mom for a while which was nice.  I picked up Isaac from cross country and then went to exercise class.  It was hard but I am glad I was able to go.  Casey started mowing to the lawn and then when it got dark he went running.

Love Rachel 

Tuesday

Today was alright. Luckily work went by fast so that was nice. After work me and Luna rode our bikes and Jeramy Walked. He’s trying to get 10k steps in a day. We only got up to 5 on his watch. So I put Luna down today and he went for another walk to get in more steps

Monday

 Well we all have to go back to the real world. Neither Karen or I won the billion dollar lottery. I did win 4 dollars. We can cash it it when I am in Logan. We went to Gardner village and looked for sewing.projects. we did get Halloween bags and Karen bought a quilt. We came home and had naps. My light downstairs kept going off. We thought it was the switch but it was the light. We bought a new one and it is nice. I am glad you all had a nice day. Have a wonderful week. Love mom

Monday

 I was really nice to have today off and we had a fun time.  Isaac had to put up flags this morning.  When he got back we got everyone up and drove up to Riverdale.  It was really fun.  The had a swimming pool, a hot tub and a water slide.  The water slide was broken for most of the morning but they got it working.  A cute Mexican guy was selling tamales and horcotia next door and we had that for lunch.  We came home around four and Isaac went swimming with his friends at the aquatic center.  Oliver had cello lessons, Ruth and Casey went grocery shopping.  Isaac came back and took down the flags so he was super busy.  It will be hard to get back to real life tomorrow.

Love Rachel

 Wow Rachel that is impressive. Great job. We got up about 8 this morning and worked on the yard a bit. We had lunch and then we went and got lottery tickets. It was fun. We just took it easy the rest of the night. I hope everyone has a great Monday holiday tomorrow. Bye

Sunday

 I have gotten my program working really well and today I stitched a bunch of things I had ready.  It was so much fun and everything is turning out pretty well which was encouraging.  We went to church and I didn't play great today, I didn't practice very much last week.  Casey painted some walls that needed it and patched the wall by Isaac's room.  We went to Randy's for dinner which was fun.  Casey ran home with Tony.  I embroidered when we got home and made the flower.  Everyone have a good day off.

Love Rachel 

Sunday

 We got up early so we could work on the sprinklers. Dad has a plan to fix it up. I did move the plant that robin got me. It was in the way of the main sprinkler box and I didn't want it to get stepped on. Karen helped.me cut down some branches that were rubbing on the fence. It got way hot so we went to lunch. We came home and Karen said she needed a lottery ticket. Me and Karen drove to Evanston and got some. Hopefully we are billionaires. I am glad you had a nice weekend robin. Rachel I cant believe Oliver caught a 22 inch fish. Bet that was a fight. That is too cool. Have a nice holiday. Love mom

Weekend

Saturday we met up with the gang and went to the expo center. Luna had a load of candy after and had a blast. Then she took a nap and we all relaxed for the rest of the night. Today we just played around the house. Luna was a bit emotional in the morning but perked up by mid afternoon. Our garden is getting things ready for picking. So today I made pizza from our tomatoes and a pumpkin pie from our pumpkins. I gave Luna some of the pie crust to play with. She added sprinkles to it and said something was missing. I had some edible glitter i sprinkled on for fun. By the end Luna was covered in glitter. Every ended up tasting good, but just the things not slathered in glitter I mean :)

Saturday

 We went to lowes thus morning and got a freezer. They are going to deliver it on the 9th. I am excited. They had a home show at the expo center. We called robin to see if Luna wanted to run around. They had candy at every booth. They had a lot of roofers. I got a lot of cards. We had a really nice time. We sewed for awhile. Rachel that looks so fun.  Just beautiful. Dad did rake the gravel this morning and we are working on the sprinklers tomorrow. Love mom

Saturday

 We had a fun day.  I went to exercise class this morning and it was a lot of fun.  Went went fishing with Randy in his new boat in the Oneida dam.  It was a beautiful day and we had fun.  Randy only had enough room for four people so he took the kids out and they caught 13 fish but they let them all go.  Me and Casey walked up the road and it was really fun.  Ruth got off and hung out with me while the boys went out again.  Oliver caught a 22 inch catfish.  He was really happy.  They let him go also.  We went and had dinner at the polar bear place in Preston.  It was okay.  It only has outdoor seating.  We stopped and got lottery ticket also.

Love Rachel 

Friday

 Work was busy today. They was a report i needed to get approved, so I had to track people down. I got it all approved about 230 so I could released the on hold shipments. After I finished that my boss said if I didn't have anything else pressing i could start my holiday early. I didn't have anything else so I got to leave about 3. We went to the movies it wasn't a great show but we had fun. I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. Bye

Friday

 I took dad to work and then drove out to Kay's. I wanted to get my hair cut but great clips is always busy. I just waited today it took an hour. Kay texted me and wanted chocolate so I went shopping while I waited. I did get another batch of peaches in to freeze. Karen took us to the movies. It was the roses with Benedict Cumberland. It wasn't that great but it is fun to go. We were the only ones there. Everyone have a great holiday. Love mom

Friday

 We rode bikes to school, I love doing that.  I have classes all day with only a lunch break.  I have kindergarten first and it was great because I could log them all in before they came.  I am going to have a aid come and help with kindergarten and first which will be nice to log them in.  Ruth's friend Isabella came over after school.  She really wanted to go to the gas station so we went and the got all the slushy flavors combined.  We picked up Isaac from cross country on our way home.  Oliver went to his friend's house and Isaac went to first dam and then the park with Bradley.  I drove both of them so it was a lot of driving.  I made a lot of progress on my program so I called Dad to talk about it.  It has been so fun to work on.

Love Rachel 

Friday

today went by slow because i didnt want to work anymore. I did leave early because work was slower. we have monday off so alot of people took today off. after work we went and got the truck emissioned checked. he said everything was great but one reading was too high. it just needs a tune up. so we are going to get the oil changed and the air filters changed out. just do the little tricks. but they orgianlly had it inspected in alaska so i think utah standards are a bit different. we then just relaxed the rest of the night.

Thursday

 Isaac had cross country practice early this morning and it is so dark which I hate.  He rode his bike to school because he gets done before we do and he said that went fine.  Work was busy.  They did maze testing in the lab between when I had classes and it made it really busy.  Oliver rode his skateboard to school and did really well.  He went and played with the neighbor kids after school.  Isaac had violin lessons.  Casey took the kids shopping and they made sushi.  I tried to program a lot today also, just troubleshooting a lot.  I messed up the times for exercise class and it made me so sad to miss it. 

Love Rachel 

Thursday

 I couldn't sleep last night so I read. It was nice. I worked in the yard and it looks better. My flower garden was over run with weeds. It felt nice to be outside. Dad came home and I did errands. I did go grocery shopping. Karen and dad helped me get some of the peaches ready to freeze dry. I am going to go see kay tomorrow. I don't have any plans for the long weekend. It kind of feels weird. We are going to try and see.if we.can figure out the sprinklers.  Love mom

Thursday

It was quieter at work today so that was really nice. I started a new audiobook and it helped keep the day interesting. After work we picked some veggies from the garden and had chili for dinner. It’s been so busy with the truck we just took it easy tonight it was nice

robin

Wednesday

 Glad the race went well. That is fun you got the truck Robin. My day was pretty much the usual. Traffic kinda sucked on the way to work. People were driving like they had never seen rain before. Work us stay busy so that is nice. It definitely beats being bored. After work I picked up dad and we came home. I hope everyone has a great Thursday tomorrow. Bye

Wednesday

We picked up the truck today. The tires are brand new I think the picture looked off. The interior needs some love. But it was cheap so no complaints. That took up most of the night. Work was busy and it rained here so it felt nice to break the crazy heat

Wednesday

 Thanks for coming up Mom, it was really fun to have you today.  I love cross country and the race was so fun to watch.

Love Rachel
