Thanks

 Thanks so much for the fun day. I had such a fun time. Ashton gardens is one of my favorite places. I do have to admit I miss the waterfall. They made such a beautiful one. I think we found some great fabric crafts. Thanks for the pictures. Love mom

​thanks for the fun Saturday 

Friday

 Things are going good for me. Work is going good. After work I came home. I helped to get dad's bike together. Then I worked on my homework. I am excited to see everyone tomorrow. Drive safe

Friday

 I had a really nice day. I mowed the lawn and did some yard work. It felt so nice. I took my bike on a bike ride. I still need some work on braking and stopping but it was so much fun. Dads bike came today and for some reason karens bike ended up back east and hopefully will be here tomorrow. Me and dad need to buy some helmets. Me and karen are going to leave here around 9 tomorrow. Dad will hook up with us later. I hope we win something. I am so excited. Love mom

Friday

 Today was good.  We rode bikes to school and it was a beautiful day.  We did testing all day and I think we have most everyone done, just a handful left.  After school the kids all were playing with their friends.  Oliver went to Hayden's house, Isaac went to the park with his friends and Ruth had a friend over here.  I have been working on my embroidery all week but I keep running into bugs that need to be fixed.  I am hoping I can move forward more next week.  I had to renew Ruth Viola and turn in Oliver's cello tonight.  Casey is working on tilling the garden but he was having problems.  We will see you tomorrow.

Thursday

​I’m taking tomorrow off so today was my Friday so that was fun. Work was work nothing wild. Jeramy’s car smells like oil if you drive it for too long. Some drove it down to the car shop we like for them to take a look. He’s going to drive the truck to work. Me and Luna are just going to play about tomorrow and just take it easy.

Thursday

 Dad worked from home today so I could go see kay. I promised jeff I would take him to see her. Julie and Jen came and it was a lot of fun. One of the bikes was suppose to Come today. I came home after seeing kay but no bike yet so I ran to the store to grab stuff for saturday. While I was gone the bike came. The other two are suppose to come tomorrow. It was easy to put together and me and Karen tried it out. It was fun. It was my bike that came so tomorrow I am going to take it for a spin after I mow the lawn. I got someone to come look at our sprinkler on Tuesday. I got a lot done. It was such a pretty day. Rachel I bet it will feel nice to have testing done. Looking forward to playing on Saturday. Love mom

Thursday

 Today was pretty good.  It was a full day of testing and nothing too bad happened.  Tomorrow is the last full day and I will start taking classes again on Monday and just do makeup testing in the holes next week.  Ruth had Viola lessons after school.  All the neighbor kids came over and Isaac went off with his friends.  We rode bikes this evening and it was a pretty night.

Wednesday

 I was trimming the bushes this morning and cut right through the extention cord. I called dad and he was so sweet and came home and we bought a new one. We are going to fix the old one. It is such a nice one. I finished everything up and it started to rain. It felt so nice. I did meet my friends from primaries for dinner and that was nice to visit. I am going to pick up jeff to tomorrow and go see kay. Dad is staying home because the bikes are suppose to come. Rachel that is so nice of that lady. She is a good friend. Robin I am glad you are liking working from home. That is brave of luna to give up her stuff. That can be hard. Have a nice thursday. Love mom.  The picture is how far I was when I cut the cord. Ugh. 

Wednesday

 My day was good. Work is moving along. I am still working for 2 teams but it isn't too bad. After work me and dad had KFC for dinner. Then I turned in my homework for module 1 and did the test. I got a 92 so I am happy about that. I can work ahead so I am going to start the next section tomorrow. That way if I need some extra time I have it. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Wednesday

 Karen I am glad that school is going well, I am excited for you.  It is fun to learn new things.  I had a full day in of testing.  We are nearing the end which is good.  A sweet boy at school was so upset about something that happened at recess and it was so sad.  He was crying in the hall and it made me so sad.  Oliver and Isaac had lessons and Ruth met with her friend at the park all at the same time which was crazy.  Ruth's friend ended up not going because of the bad weather. It was awful.  The lady we mow lawns for, her name is Peggy, she made extra soup and a pie for us so I picked it up.  It was nice of her.  Oliver needed shorts and we needed groceries so we went shopping.  I went to exercise class and Casey went running.

Love Rachel 

Wednesday

​Wednesdays I work from home and I really like it. It’s just nice to be comfortable and walk out side to look at my garden whenever I need a break. After work I caught a spring cleaning bug. So me and Luna went through her room to get rid of toys. She did pretty good. We got rid of 4 bags for the DI but that included cloths and another bag of garbage. The second I was done she pulled all her toys out to play. But at least we have half the toys now.

Tuesday

 Today was good.  We rode bikes to school.  A little girl asked why I rode my bike and I said I really like to ride bikes.  Then she told me I was weird and gave me a mean face.  Also yesterday someone was frustrated during a test and broken a mouse.  Today I felt so mad at him still I was trying to get over it.  We mowed and weeded the ladies lawn.  It was so hot we might start going in the evenings.  We trimmed her bushes and I got a blister on my finger.  Ruth had activity days and the boys had young men's.  Ruth wanted to buy a record with her lawn money so we went to music store and she got one.  Casey went running and I have been working on embroidery stuff very slowly.  They are all these little problems that have been coming up.

Love

Tuesday

 Robin i love that picture. I think that says it all. I might need to frame that. I had a nice day. I took dad to work and went and saw kay. She was pale and just OK today. She did walk me out so she is still strong. I ran a bunch of errands afterwards. I got a lot done. I talked with robin tonight and decided to have tacos for dinner on Saturday. I think we are set. I did water my lawn tonight. It was so dry.  I was waiting until may 15. I almost made it. I am going to trim bushes tomorrow and weedwack. It always amazes me how fast the yard gets out of control. Have a nice gump day. Love mom

Tuesday

​we are hanging in there nothing to ground breaking. Luna was emotional so it was a long night

Robin

Monday

 My day was good. Work is moving along, nothing too wild and crazy. After work I watched my first class lecture. I don't think this class will be too bad so that will be a nice start. Tomorrow I am going to do the reading and hopefully the homework so wish me luck. Have a great day tomorrow everyone.

Monday

 Today was good.  We rode bikes to school and I love that.  I had a full day of testing and we did a session of makeups that got a lot of kids caught up.  Isaac has CYO today and a parent meeting about the trip that Casey went to when he picked Isaac up.  Ruth and Oliver had their concerts.  They were so excited and happy.  They did a good job and we were proud of them.

Love Rachel 

Monday

 I had a normal Monday. I just puttered and did laundry. I did try making  a casserole without cooking noodles first. It worked out pretty good. We did watch ruths and olivers concert on tube. It worked out really good. it was a nice concert. A year makes a hig difference. I think that is so funny that luna is stressed. Shr is one smart cookie. Watch out the heat. It is a scorcher. Love you all mom

Monday

​we woke up late today so we were rushing through morning routine which is not lunas strong suit. But we finally made it to work. Nothing to wild it was really hot today though. I feel like going from 27 to 95 in a few weeks is chaos. After work we just played around the house. Whenever we do something that Luna doesn’t like ( essentially everything) she just says she we are stressing her out. Jeramy wanted her to clean up some of her things and she said “dad I’m too stressed out” so she couldn’t clean a thing 

Happy mothers day

I am so glad you had a good mother's day. We had a really nice day also. We went and got plants for the garden and flower garden. It was fun to plant them. Dad got me a hobby lobby gift card.  Rachel that is such cute embroidering. That was a really good idea. Robin that grape box looks so nice. You guys are on fire. That is funny luna painted her face. She loves her makeup. Have a great Monday. Tell the kids good luck with their concert. I will watch it. Love live streaming. Love mom

Happy mother's day

 My weekend has been good. We went to Wise Guys on Saturday.  It was fun to go, the comedian was okay. Today we went and got plants for the garden. We went out to lunch and then just had a quiet day. Tomorrow is my first day of school so wish me luck. I hope everyone has a great week. Bye

Happy mother's day

 Sorry I have been bad at blogging.  We had a fun time with Mom here.  I can't believe Luna is riding her bike without training wheels, that is so exciting.  I love the grape box also, that is beautiful. We had a good day.  The had the young woman come to primary so everyone could go to relief society so I didn't have to play the piano so we went hiking.  We went up the deep sink where Casey's cave is.  We wanted to see if it was flooded and it was which was great.  Casey had tied a rope to a log last fall so when it flooded it would float and he could pull it away.  It worked great and he was able to move the log.  We came back and he made salmon chowder which is what I wanted.  Ruth made me a sweet card and Oliver got me a light jacket for the rain when we are hiking. Yesterday we stained the deck and the benches.  Thank you again for the benches, they are so amazing.

Love Rachel
