Monday 30th - Rachel and I went grocery shopping in the morning. Rachel was super cute and was telling everyone hello and good-by. John dropped the Aveo off at the dealership so that the recall items could be fixed. He took their shuttle back to our apartment and then we had some friends over for dinner. We played a game of Dominion after dinner which was a lot of fun. After they left we headed back to the dealership to pick up the car. We got there at 8:50, and they are supposed to close at 9. John managed to catch someone so he could get his keys, but they had already locked everything up. We were less than impressed.
Tuesday 31st - I had a doctors appointment in the morning. The doctor was at the hospital so I was seen by an RN. After we got home we had some lunch and then I spent the rest of the day resting because I did not feel good at all. John was so sweet after he got home from work as he took care of Rachel and me.
Wednesday April 1st - I spent the morning playing with Rachel and cleaning the house before someone came to spray for ants. After lunch I got Rachel down for her nap and Gloria came over to help me cut squares for baby boys quilt. Rachel woke up while she was there and Rachel had fun showing off for her grandma. John tutored after work and when he came home we had fun watching Survivor together while we ate dinner. After Rachel went to bed John started packing his suitcase.
Thursday 2nd - John had to go to work for part of the day. While he was gone I finished up laundry and packed suitcases for Rachel and myself. After John got home he finished packing up his stuff and then loaded up the car. We managed to drive to Beaver before we had to stop for dinner and a bathroom break. The rest of the trip was uneventful which is just the way we like it. John and I listened to a book during the trip which was fun. After we got to my parents house we had lots of fun just watching Rachel run around and drag anyone who would go with her to different toys. Because we didn't get to my parent's until 8 Rachel went to bed late. She was having way to much fun with everyone.
Friday 3rd - I woke up with a sore throat and no voice. Despite that we had a very busy day. John and my mom went running in the morning. They ran 5 miles together and then John ran another 5 and a half by himself. After we were all ready for the day my mom, Rachel, and I took Gibson to tennis and then went to get Swig and some fabric. Rachel fell asleep on the way back from the fabric store so when we got there I took her out of the car and laid her down.For lunch John, my mom, and I went to Mongolian BBQ. Since Rachel was still asleep Sierra offered to stay home and keep an ear out for her. After we got our lunch to go we drove over to Wood Creations so I could get some wall hangings for baby boy's room. John and I went to the mall after we finished eating our lunch. We picked a book for John and I got a pair of maternity capri pants. Rachel was awake when we got back. Gibson and I went outside with Rachel while my mom and dad went to Walmart. That night we all enjoyed watching Amazing Race together. My mom, Gibson, John, and I stayed up late waiting for my mom's aunt, uncle, cousin, and his son to get there from Arizona. They needed somewhere to spend the night on their way up to Salt Lake for conference.
Saturday 4th - We had a delicious waffle breakfast before my mom's family left. John, Gibson, and I went to tennis. It was so much fun. I even got to play a little bit which was awesome. It was an Easter theme so everyone was in bright colors and there was chocolate candy and chocolate milk afterwards. On the way back to the house we made a stop at Swig for some drinks. After we got back and dressed for the day my mom and I worked on some sewing and we finished the bumper pads for baby boy's crib while we listened to Conference. In between sessions, my mom and John worked on moving the beds around upstairs. After Conference my mom and I ran a couple errands to Seagull Book and Kid-to-Kid. On the way home we stopped at the movies to get tickets to Cinderella. We got home in time to watch Rachel so the boys could go to priesthood session. A little after 6 we headed to the theater. The movie was so so good. Rachel's favorite part was the short Frozen film at the beginning. She danced and cheered for all 7 minutes of it. I only took her out of the theater once and that was because baby boy was using my bladder as a trampoline. My mom got Rachel a Cinderella doll to play with at the movies and she loved it. We didn't get home until almost 9 and the boys had beaten us. We hurried to get Rachel in the bath and to bed. Rachel made my mom come up with her for bath time and had to lay down in 3 different spots before she could hold still enough to be undressed.
Sunday 5th - Rachel woke up early so we kept her in our room for a little while while others were still asleep. Once my parents were up we let Rachel knock on Gibson and Sierra's doors to wake them up. She was very excited to knock. We came downstairs all together and John and I tried to get Rachel interested in her presents from the Easter bunny but she found an egg with candy and that was all she wanted to do. I helped her find the eggs in the house and then we went outside where she was not interested in putting them in her basket. She just wanted to play with all the eggs. She bounced them on the trampoline, put them up by the slide and moved them around the yard. Finally I finished gathering the eggs for her and we made her go inside. Rachel wanted lots of chocolate and every time she saw someone with some she would take it to eat. While we were out hunting my dad was working on a delicious breakfast. When we got back inside my mom started helping my dad and the rest of us kept Rachel occupied. We had fruit, german pancakes, Costco muffins, bacon, sausage, eggs, and hash browns. John and I worked on packing up our stuff after breakfast. We enjoyed watching the morning session while Rachel played. We played outside for a little bit in between so Rachel could get some energy out and John and I packed up the car. Before leaving we ate a delicious Easter dinner with pork chops. We had a tail wind on the way home so we made pretty good time and we only had to stop once for a bathroom break. After we got home John unloaded the car and I worked on unpacking the suitcases. We had a super simple dinner and then it was bath time for Rachel and bed time for all of us.
