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

May 25th - May 31st

Rachel is striving to show her independence. She likes to help us a lot of the time, but that often means that she is causing more work. It is very cute though. She likes to get into a lot of things that she isn't supposed to, and tries to test us to see if we will react. She seems to know when to cut it out and become very cute though.

Monday 25th - In the morning we went on a Kidd family run/walk.  John ran a little over 7 miles and I walked 2 while pushing Rachel.  We went to a close park and had donuts and hot chocolate.  After we got home John, Rachel and I headed over to the apartment pool, which was finally open.  It was a lot of fun but we didn't stay too long because the water wasn't really heated and Rachel was getting cold. When we got home we all got ready and had some lunch.  Rachel and I took a nap while John played on his computer.  After Rachel got up we headed to Brandon and Stacie's house for a Memorial Day BBQ.  It was a lot of fun to all just sit around and talk.  Rachel had so much fun playing on the playground and in the little tikes car.

Tuesday 26th - Rachel and I got up and got ready and then I worked on sewing a car seat cover.  I had my last doctors appointment before lunch and found that baby boy is still breech.  After Rachel and I got home we had some lunch and I got to talk to my mom for a little bit.  In the afternoon Rachel and I both took and nap.  After John got home we had dinner and spent the evening hanging out.  We got to watch America's Got Talent. I always like watching the tryouts.  

Wednesday 27th - John went to work like normal and Rachel and I spent the day at home.  I got another carseat cover sewn and Rachel had lots of fun playing with all her toys. John was going to tutor a couple of his students for the last time, but the family didn't need him to tutor, so he got to come home.

Thursday 28th - John got up early and went for a 6 mile run. Rachel spent the morning playing and I worked on cutting out some fabric.  John went to Costco on his way home since we were totally out of a couple things and I really wanted some watermelon.  That evening after dinner we went to the stake center to have our interviews for our Temple Recommends.   

Friday 29th - In the morning Rachel and I went to Mckenzie's (my niece) graduation brunch.  Rachel and I didn't go to the graduation because we had so many errands to run and I didn't think I would be able to sit through another graduation with Rachel.  We got all our errands done for the next week (since I will be a little busy).  That evening after John got home from work we took Rachel to a babysitters house and headed to the Temple.  It was very interesting because they asked us to be the witness couple and I didn't feel like I could say no.  The session was very nice but I was very worn out by the end.  When we went to pick up Rachel she was not happy and screamed bloody murder when we put her in the car.  She was having so much fun and she did not want to leave.

Saturday 30th - Happy Birthday John! John started his day by going on a 12 mile morning run.  After he got home (and showered) I made him get back into bed so that I could bring him breakfast.  Rachel was super helpful and just kept trying to open his presents. Once we were all ready for the day we headed to the zoo.  It took us 20 minutes to get into the park which was a bit ridiculous. When we got inside we realized that we forgot sunscreen but since we are all so fair we paid a astronomical price for a small bottle in the gift shop.  We went around half the zoo spending the most time at the sea lions because Rachel did not want to leave. She loved looking in the water and watching them.  We stopped for lunch which we packed (since we weren't going to pay for zoo food) and then went around the rest of the park.  We did get to see a short elephant show which was a lot of fun.  After we left and were back in the car Rachel fell asleep in less then 5 minutes. She was so tired.  When we got home, John managed to carry her upstairs where she went back to sleep.  We had to wake her up when it was time to leave for dinner.  We met our friends Becca and Joey at Applebee's where they helped to celebrate John's birthday.  At the end of dinner, I got the waiters to sing to John to give him his free dessert.  When we got home Becca and Joey came to eat some cake with us and watch John blow out his candles (plus then I didn't feel stupid singing by myself). After they left John had fun playing on his computer for a little bit.  

Sunday 31st - When we all got up in the morning John made pancakes for breakfast with lots of extras for future breakfast (we put them in the freezer). At church Rachel was starting to get a little cranky since it was nap-time and John had to take her out once because she was hitting.  They did officially release me from primary so for a short moment John and I are both calling-less. After we got home Rachel took a short nap and John and I worked on making dinner.  That night Becca and Joey came over for a couple games of Nurtzs and 7 Wonders.
