November 17th - November 23rd

Rachel is so fun to watch.  She rarely walks anywhere she much prefers running.  When something loud happens in a different room than the one she is in she always has to hurry as fast as she can to see what is happening.  Her favorite word is Uh-Oh and she says it anytime she thinks something is wrong, out of place, or if she feels silly.  She will sign thank-you now but she does it from her ear instead of her chin which just cracks me up.  When we are saying prayers she will now fold her arms if we ask her to but if you don't finish praying in the allotted amount of time (like 20 seconds) then she is up and ready to play again.

Monday 17th - In the morning Rachel and I headed to Kid-to-Kid to return a couple things and get Rachel some pajamas. After we finished there we headed to Swig to get my mom a drink and take it to her. Rachel was so excited to see nonnie and ran around the room to get to her. We spent the afternoon relaxing. That night after dinner my mom, Rachel, and I went to Costco. 

Tuesday 18th - Tuesday morning Rachel and I chilled at the house. Rachel was kind of cranky since she had been up since 6:00. For lunch we met my friend Brandy and her sweet new baby. We had a fun time visiting and catching up on each other's life.  I didn't enjoy eating very much but it was fun to see my friend. We hurried home after lunch so Rachel could get a short nap before we went to pick up Gibson at school. 

Wednesday 19th - Wednesday was a day that I tried to not throw up. Rachel and I spent a lot of time at the house. In the evening, Sierra and Gib had different mutual activities, so my dad and I hung out in the evening. I watched survivor, and headed to bed.

Thursday 20th - I took my mom Swig in the morning. Rachel and I hung out some more at home. That evening, I went to Kid-to-Kid to try and find a pair of maternity pants. My mom and Gibson went to a school board meeting while Sierra went to Special Needs mutual, so I got to hang out with my dad again. Rachel was being a bit cranky, but we realized she was starting to get another tooth.

Friday 21st - Friday morning I went and got my hair done and then Rachel and I went back to the house where I promptly put her down for a nap because she was so cranky.  I picked up Gibson from school around 12:30 and then headed back to the house where Rachel played while I laid down. My mom got home early thanks to a short day at school. We went to Target where I found a good pair of maternity pants (so we could return the not-so-great pair) and a cute shirt. We then waited for John and Terry to arrive. That night after dinner, everyone watched Rachel so that John and I could go out on a date. We went bowling (John won, but I had my best game ever on our first game... we should have stopped then) and then went to Menchies for desert. When we got back, John put Rachel to bed, and after she fell asleep we all went to bed.

Saturday 22nd - John and my mom went running in the morning (7 miles). When they got back, John quickly showered and he and Terry went out to Hurricane to clean carpet. While they were gone, my mom and I got Super Saturday stuff out and organized so that we could work on it. In doing so, we found we didn't have most of the "household" items needed to complete the projects (is Modge Podge a household item?). We went get said items, and got back right after John and Terry had returned. While they began cleaning the carpet, we ate lunch and then left to get out (well, Rachel mostly) of the way. We went to Deseret Book. While we were headed there, Rachel fell asleep, so Sierra stayed in the car with her. Next we went to Carousel Kids were my mom found a cute little car for Rachel to ride around in. John hated this car by the end of the day because Rachel loved being pushed in it, but it is really low to the ground. We stopped at Walmart to get some items for dinner, and then we headed home to see the newly cleaned carpet. That night after dinner, John gave Rachel a bath while my mom, Gibson, and I went to Red-Box to get a movie and the movie theater for popcorn. We watched Maleficent, which we all enjoyed a lot. 

Sunday 23rd - We woke up and got ready for church. Rachel had lots of fun during Sacrament meeting going between the two rows we were sitting on. John took her to Nursery, and ended up staying in with her the whole time. She started to relax and play after about 40 minutes, but would cry anytime that he left. As soon as we got home from church, John and I worked on packing all of our stuff up, and then Terry and John packed up the car. We ate some food and headed out. Rachel and I took a nap in the car on the way back. She slept longer than I did, and kept waking up and then falling back to sleep. After we got home, and the car was unloaded, John made dinner while we caught up on the Amazing Race. After dinner, John gave Rachel a bath and put her to bed.
