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

June 8th - June 14th

Rachel is definately 2. She is learning a lot, loves Frozen (to a point of ridiculousness), and is extremely stubborn. She throws a lot of fits, and we try our best to react appropriately to them. She is learning lots of new words, and we felt like we need some sort of commercial deal when she yelled out "Wal-Mart!" as we entered a parking lot.

David is a little boring. He just sleeps a lot. He is starting to sleep better at night, which is much appreciated by us. He is very cute, and we are excited for all that is to come.

Monday 8th- John and my mom were off on Monday, so it was a day of recovery for me. I was starting to feel a bit better, but still hurt quite a bit. John and my mom went for a short run in the morning over to the temple and back. John took Rachel after he got back over to Discount Tire to get the tires rotated on the Aveo. When he got back, Allison came over and took pictures of David while John took my siblings over to my aunt's house. After he got back, we got Rachel down for a nap, and then my mom and John both left. My mom had to go back over to my aunt's to pick up my siblings after they had had a couple of hours, and John went to help his brother and sister-in-law move. After my mom got back, the dinner that someone from the ward arrived in the form of Pizza Hut. Since we had more people than they were planning, my mom ran to grab an extra pizza from Little Caesars. John had to leave the move a little early so he could come home and eat dinner and help with the kids. We got everyone to bed, and went to bed ourselves.

Tuesday 9th- John had to go back to work, but my mom was still here to help me all day. My mom and I went for a walk in the morning, which I think helped me feel a lot better (beginning Wednesday).  We then went over to Target so my mom could return an item, and I could get some things I needed. We also took my siblings over to my Aunt's. John picked up Sierra on his way home so that she could help me on Wednesday and Thursday. After John got back, and we relaxed for the evening. Rachel's favorite nursery leader brought us dinner, which was very yummy.

Wednesday 10th- My mom had a conference that started that day. Sierra stayed and helped watch Rachel, which was really nice. My mom went to dinner after her conference with a couple of her fellow teachers, so she got back a bit late. After she got back, we got ready and headed to bed. 

Thursday 11th- Sierra helped me so much by watching Rachel while my mom was gone. After my mom got back, we took a trip over to Kid-to-Kid looking for a table and chairs for Rachel, since I can't lift her up to our table. It was a bit of a tight ride, and took a bit longer than we anticipated, but we found what we needed! We hung out and had a relaxing evening. 

Friday 12th- Friday was my mom's last day at her conference. Once she got back, we took Sierra over to my Aunt's house so she could have some fun time with her cousins. On our way back, we met John at Olive Garden. My mom had a bit of a budget for her conference, and since she was staying with us, she was able to use some of it to take us out to dinner. John and my mom loved their food, but unfortunately for me I forgot to ask them to not put in the peppers and onions, so I didn't like mine as much. John was secretly excited that he got lunch on Monday. After we finished, we went home so I could feed David, and then my mom and I ran to Walmart to try and get a few things. John put Rachel to bed, and after we got back we all headed to bed.

Saturday 13th- John and my mom went for a run early in the morning. Their route allowed my mom to cut her run a little shorter so that she could get ready to go home. John finished 10 miles with Chelsi and Brigitta. He said it was a bit tough as it was getting warm. After he got back, we got ready and headed to Kid-to-Kid and Walmart. At Kid-to-Kid, we sold a few items we don't need anymore, and found a couple things we needed. The big event happened at Walmart. We were trying to find Mcfarland for my mom (which they didn't have), but instead we found a 60" Sony smart TV that was almost $400 off the online retail price. We were starting to look for a TV, and this one fell within the budget we had set for ourselves. So, after a bit of deliberation, we decided to get it. Getting it home was fun, and John had to get some other items in order for it and our other items to fit on our entertainment center. It is really nice, but feels too big for our front room. Overall we like it a lot. 

Sunday 14th- We relaxed in the morning until church. John took Rachel to church with him while I hung out with David at home. We laid on the couch and got a nap which was nice. After John got home, he started rushing to get dinner, which was breakfast, ready for the missionaries and Becca and Joe, who were all coming at 5. Dinner took a little longer than expected to be made, but it was delicious, and the missionaries appreciated getting a real breakfast. After they had to leave, Becca and Joe were super nice to help us clean up, and hang out for a bit. After they left, John's parents and Chelsi stopped by to visit us (well, mostly David ) and to pick up our old TV for Gloria's sewing room. My mom showed up a little after they did, and they left to go play games at John's brother's house. Rachel was having a rough evening, so we got her into bed as soon as we could. We hung out a bit, and then headed to bed.
