Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

August 12th - August 18th

Rachel loves to buzz her lips. She is learning to play on her own so much better.  When she wants to go outside she brings me whatever shoes she can find (which normally don't match).  When ever I let her have fruit snacks she jumps up and down and giggles because she is so excited.  

Monday 12th - I got up early so that I could make John breakfast for his FIRST day at his new job. He spent the day in meetings learning about the benefits and the different things he will be doing. I went to tennis practice at 3:30 and told the coach I will only be able to go to one practice a week.  After we both got home and I changed we headed to Red Robin to celebrate John's new job.  It was really fun for the most part until the very end when we let Rachel out of her high chair and she ran/tripped into the corner of the table.  

Tuesday 13th - In the morning John drove to the trax station instead of riding his bike since it was raining.  I stayed at the house with Rachel since we had people coming to fix part of the laminant floor. After Rachel's nap and lunch we headed to the store.  Our first stop was at Bath and Body Works so I could get some more lotion.  The next stop was at Walmart for a few more staples.  After we got back home I started making cookies to take to a few of our neighbors.  After John got home and we had had dinner we started hanging up a few pictures.  

Wednesday 14th - John got up really early and went running before work.  Rachel and I spent the morning chilling at the apartment.  At 1:00 we left to head to the Kia dealership  to get the USB port looked at and get the tires rotated and realigned.  We were there for 2 hours and by the time we left Rachel was not very happy.  On the way home we went to Walmart to go grocery shopping.  That afternoon/evening it was raining so hard it was even hailing for a little while.  When John got home from the trax station he was sopping wet.  After dinner we went to a couple of our neighbors houses and delivered cookies.  When we got home before we put Rachel in the bath we hung up a few more pictures. 

Thursday 15th - After John left for work and after Rachel and I were ready for the day I put Rachel into her stroller and we took a walk. Rachel took a fantastic nap which gave me time to work on putting boxes away.  That afternoon Rachel and I just had lots of fun playing.  That evening we worked on hanging more pictures.

Friday 16th - Friday afternoon I was trying to start the dough but I didn't have enough flour so I had to run to the store. That evening we had some homemade pizza.  Our friends Kevin and Kendra came over for dessert and games.  John did the Ice-bucket challenge. He said it wasn't as bad as he thought.

Saturday 17th - Saturday morning John and I unpacked all the books onto the bookshelves.  At 10:00 we took Rachel to Kid-to-Kid to meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen.  She was not a huge fan when they tried to hold her.  After we got home we laid Rachel down for a nap which she didn't take.  Once we had given up on her taking a nap we headed to a Zion's bank building a got a couple new office chairs.  We headed over to Terry and Gloria's house after that.  John headed over to Brandon soon after to play games with the guys, Rachel played in the backyard, and I worked on making a wedding card.  We bbq for dinner and it was delicious.  After dinner John, Rachel, and I went to the wedding reception for a girl I played tennis with in high school. 

Sunday 18th - My awesome husband got up with Rachel and played with her so that I could sleep in a little longer since I don't ever sleep well.  Church was good and Rachel was good for the most part.  After church we came back and cleaned up the kitchen and living room while Rachel took a nap.  For dinner we had another new couple from our ward over.  It was a lot of fun. They are due with their first child soon so they asked us for advice.  That evening we went outside to let Rachel play and another ward was having a get together and we ended up meeting a couple who loves games.
