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

September 1st - September 7th

Rachel says hi and goodby as I and by, she loves to wave to people now even when they just leave the room. She is just so fun and so cute. She is a blast to watch when she is playing. At church she tries to sing along and anytime music comes on she starts dancing.

Monday September 1st - The day started really early with my dad, mom, and John leaving a little after 5 a.m. Rachel, Sierra, and I left at 6.  We headed to Payson to see the runners come in.  My dad and mom came in at the same time, and John came in a couple minutes later with his best time ever. After the awards had been given out with my mom getting 1st in her age division and my dad getting 3rd we headed over to my parents friends house so the runners could shower and get ready.  After they finished there we headed over to the parade.  Rachel enjoyed her first parade a lot, she loved watching all the bands and people dancing.  After the parade ended we headed into the park to look at all the booths and ride a couple rides.  I got a cute new maxi skirt and a wallet.  My mom got Rachel a really cute little wand that she absolutely loves and a toy broom so that she can help me clean up. I also got a cute backpack for me/Rachel to use since she doesn't really need a full diaper bag anymore.  We left the park about 3 and headed to a Wendy's to meet Terry who was picking up John since I was heading for St. George.  The drive to Cedar City went well with Rachel taking a pretty good nap. We stopped at Sizzler for my dad's birthday dinner and then headed home.  Once we got to St. George we made a couple stops to get some things for Rachel and for Gibson who is running for student body president.

Tuesday 2nd - Happy Birthday Dad! Since it was my dad's birthday I went and picked up some balloons and a birthday banner to decorate at his work.  I also stopped by Costa Vida and got him some of his favorite food.  After I finished decorating around his office I headed to my mom's work with a couple Swig drinks.  That afternoon I went to help my dad with some tennis classes.  The first class I did was the all-stars (4-6ish), it was so much fun and I really enjoyed it.  I have missed helping with tennis classes. I got a half hour break and then helped with the Elite class (11-15ish).  For the last half hour I got to play games with them since my dad had to leave early. That evening I did the ALS ice bucket challenge. The water was so cold. After my dad got home we had some delicious cake.

Wednesday 3rd - in the morning before Rachel's nap I took her a drink. Most of the day I just played with Rachel and that evening the kids had mutual.

Thursday 4th - Thursday morning I took my mom and another teacher a Swig drink.  I was really tired when I got back to the house so after I got Rachel down for her nap I laid down as well.  After we both got up I worked on cutting out some letters for my mom's classroom.  Late afternoon I went and helped with the Elite tennis class again. That evening/night we had fun FaceTiming with John and letting Rachel play outside.

Friday 5th - Friday morning I got my hair cut and Rachel got her hair trimmed since her bangs were in her eyes.  After we were finished there we headed back to the house so Rachel could get some food. We headed over to GWA as soon as Rachel was finished eating so that we could hear Gibson's speech for student body president. He did awesome and was one of the few students who spoke loud enough to hear. After speeches finished we headed up to my moms classroom to hangout until pickup was finished so it would be easier to get out of the parking lot. After my mom got home we went to a new Hollywood video and rented a couple movies a got a pizza. We spent the evening watching Divergent.

Saturday 6th - I was going to play tennis in the morning and my mom dropped me off so that she could have my car with the car seat. On the way there we stopped at a few yard sales which I always love. After tennis my mom picked me up and we headed back to the house so I could change into real clothes. Rachel ate some food and then we headed out to the school to laminate some stuff for my moms white board. On the way back to the house we ran into Target and then headed to Mongolian BBQ for some lunch. We took it back to the house and watched The Lucky One while we ate. After the movie was over my mom took a power nap while I folded laundry and then we headed to the video store to return the movies we had and get the movie Red. We stopped in at Walmart and Costco on the way home. That evening we watched Red.

Sunday 7th - Church was at 9:00 Rachel did pretty good during Sacrament meeting, during the Sunday School meeting I took Rachel back to the house so that I could change her shirt and then during the Relief Society Rachel loved playing with the car of the boy next to us and ate the food of the boy behind us. After church we all headed back to the house and a bunch of us took a nap. We had some dinner after everyone was up and had some delicious roast and potatoes. That night my mom and I took some of the extra food over to the missionaries.
