Rachel is getting so big and independent. She now really knows the sign for eat and uses it when she wants food. Now we just need to work on a couple other basic signs. She loves playing with her doll now and pushing it around in a stroller. To turn her stroller she tries picking it up and turning around.
Tuesday 5th - Tuesday morning John went for a 6 mile run. He is getting faster the longer he runs. While Rachel was taking her morning nap I went to Kid-to-Kid to get a bow and a skirt for Rachel. At 12:30 I went to Hunter High to have another meeting with the tennis coach. That afternoon I just hang around with Rachel. That evening after Chelsi's delicious dinner she came outside with us and took a couple really cute pictures of Rachel. That night John went to the movies with his dad. They saw Guardians of the Galaxy and John really liked it.
Wednesday 6th - Wednesday morning was the first official day of High School tennis. We only had about 8 girls show up and most of them have never played before or have very little experience. Hopefully next week more girls will come. After I got back I changed out of my tennis clothes and got Rachel down for a nap. While she was sleeping I worked on online tennis classes. That afternoon was spent hanging around the house while Rachel played.
Thursday 7th - Thursday we are are second day of practice and the 6 girls that showed up did a little better than the day before. While I was gone Gloria took Rachel for a walk which I was told she loved. She was talking and having fun watching the road. After I got back and Rachel had a nap we headed over to the Granite School District Office so that I could get fingerprinted. When we got there I realized that I had forgotten my paper and then told me I had to have the money in exact cash so I had to go to the bank drive back to the house and then back to the office so something that took 5 minutes. After we got back I took Rachel outside so that she could play in her pool for a bit. Once we were back inside and Rachel had had a bath I worked on folding laundry and packing all my stuff from the dresser into suitcases. John got home from work right before dinner. We had a delicious dinner and got Rachel to bed at 8. That night John played a game on his computer while I read a book.
Friday 8th - Before John left for work he ran an impressive 6 miles. Rachel and I had a relaxed morning. I worked on planning a 4 week menu and Rachel had fun playing. Ben watched her while Gloria, Chelsi, and I went to Kohl's to get Brigitta new shoes and Gloria some new shirts. After we got back I fed Rachel some lunch and put her down for a nap. While she was sleeping I worked on my menu some more. After Rachel woke up and John got home from work we headed over to our new apartment and sign our lease and get the key. Once we had signed everything and had our key we took the hanging clothes to the apartment and hung them in our new closet! After we got home we ate dinner. Once we had Rachel in bed I went to Walmart with Terry and Gloria. After we got back from Walmart we got John and went to Menchie's for some yummy dessert.
Saturday 9th - Moving Day! We got up in the morning and got ready for the day. John and I worked to make sure all the odds and ends packed from our room. John went with Terry to pick up the U-haul. I met John, Terry, Brandon, Gabe, and Ben at our storage unit with Gloria. After we finished loading the truck (which took a couple hours) John took the U-haul and Terry took our aveo straight to the new apartment. Gloria went back to the house with Chelsi while I staid to tell them we were out and get a copy of our receipt. After I got back to the house I picked up Ben and put a couple more things into the Kia and we headed out. On the way to the apartment we stopped at Arctic Circle so that I could get John and I some lunch. When we got to the apartment we met, John, Chelsi, Terry, Gloria, Tyler and Katie and their kids, Tiffani, Don, my mom, Sierra, and Gibson. It was so nice to have so many people there, it made the unloading process go so much faster. The whole time we were at the storage unit and then unloading the truck Brigitta watched Rachel for me at the house so that she would not get in the way. After we got everything into the apartment John, Sierra, and I went to the office to pick up our mail key and then head back to Terry and Gloria's house to pick up Rachel and our mini-fridge. By the time we got back to the house my mom had gotten most of Rachels room unpacked. We didn't stay at the apartment long before John needed to go pick up a mattress and my mom, Rachel, and I headed over to Kid-to-Kid to get a toddler bed for Rachel. That of course wasn't all we ended up getting but we were faster than we normally are. On the way back to the apartment we stopped at Walmart for a couple essential items and Chick-fill-a to pick up some food for Sierra and Gibson. After we got back we worked on unpacking some more stuff and feeding Rachel dinner. While my mom and I worked on the kitchen John went to pick us up some Zuppas for dinner. We stayed up until 11:30 unpacking boxes.
Sunday 10th - We got up early and John made pancakes. We left for church at 10:00 since we needed to drive all the way to Alpine before 11:00. We went the the mission homecoming of Quinn's first mission president. He and his wife were both really good speakers and there were so many people there to hear them. My mom, Sierra, and Gibson left for home from there and John and I headed back to our new place. We spent the afternoon unpacking and cleaning stuff up. Kevin and Kendra came over for some dinner and then we played games for a couple hours which was really fun.
Love,
Cassie
