David is now 2 months old and getting more interested in the world around him. His neck is starting to get stronger but not all the way yet. He is starting to smile more when people talk to him and that is always fun to see.
Monday 27th - In the morning I went grocery shopping with the kids. For lunch I met up with my friends Becca and we went to Zuppa's. That afternoon was nap time. After John got home and we had dinner and then we went for a walk and stopped to let Rachel on the play on the playground on the way back. When we got home we decided to play a little bit of Just Dance.
Tuesday 28th - John got up early and went for a 6 mile run in preparation for his half marathon on Saturday. Later in the morning we headed over to Gloria's for some girl time and Rachel had a blast playing with her cousins. We headed home after lunch and took naps. That evening after John got home and we had eaten we headed over to the Temple to take some blessing pictures of David and some family shots. We got Rachel to smile and look by telling her she could have some ice cream when we got home. When we got home we gave her the ice cream we promised and then put both kids to bed. After they were asleep John and I watched America's Got Talent and then went to bed.
Wednesday 29th - The kids and I went on a walk in the morning and stopped at the park on the way back. I spent the rest of the morning working on cleaning up the house. John stopped by Costco on his way home and applied for the AmEx card because we had realized it would save us a ton on gas alone. After he got home, we had dinner and got a fantastic email. We got the basement apartment we were so excited about! We feel so relieved to have a place to move to, and are very excited to get away from our current place. In the evening Becca and Joe came over and we played Ticket to Ride. John won, and I came in second. Becca and Joe were really close, and did really well for only their second time playing.
Thursday 30th - John got up early and went for a final run before the Timpanogos half. Shortly after he got home (and way too early in the morning) Rachel woke up. She was very cranky, and very sad when John left. I went on a walk with Becca and after we went to the store together which was fun. John picked up Gibson from my aunt's house on his way home from work and Gib and I went to play tennis and John bravely took both kids and went to get an admissions test on the Kia. For dinner we went over to John's parents which was super delicious. After dinner we went with Terry and Gloria to Menchies and then hurried home to put the kids to bed.
Friday 31st - I went on another walk with Becca. After lunch I drove to Lehi and picked Quinn up so he could spend a couple hours hanging out with me and the kids. My mom drove up from St. George with my grandma and got to my house about the same time as John got home from work. My mom borrowed our Aveo and took Rachel and my siblings down to the family reunion. John and I went to our new apartment and went over the lease with our new landlady. We ended up sitting and chatting for 2 hours which was a lot of fun. We went to Walmart on the way home to pick up the sandwiches for David's blessing.
Saturday August 1st - John got up at 3:15 to get ready and head out for his race. I got up a little after 5 to get ready and head down to American Fork where John's race ended. He did a great job and got a new PR at 2:04:40, I am so proud of him. After he finished and I picked him up we headed to my mom's hotel in Provo so John could shower and get ready for the day. I went with my mom, Sierra, and my kiddos up to the campground for my family reunion and Quinn hung out with John while he got ready. Once we got to the reunion we sat around and talked to everyone and did a "quiz" about the family history. Rachel had fun with the other little kids picking dandelions. After lunch we went down to a little lake and Rachel had a blast filling buckets with mud from the water's edge. We went back to the campground for dinner and then John and I headed home with the kiddos.
Sunday 2nd - We spent the morning getting ready and Quinn took a few pictures of David in his outfit with the family blanket. We got to church early so that we could fill out the paperwork for the blessing. We had lots of family come and support us and John gave a beautiful blessing. After Sacrament Meeting we went outside and took some pictures with different groupings. Once we were done taking pictures we hurried back to our apartment to change and get all the food. We headed to the park and met up with all the friends and family who could come and enjoyed visiting with everyone. The party broke up pretty fast as the wind picked up and started blowing the food away. Jeremy came back to our apartment to wait for Heather and their boys so we could say goodby to all of them before they left for Georgia. Rachel was really tired and kept having meltdowns. Once I finally got her to calm down and sit on my lap she fell asleep. We tried a few times to wake her up even giving her a short bath but she wouldn't really wake up so we put her to bed a little before 6:30 and she was fast asleep. Becca and Joe came over to play some games with us and we got to play for a little over 3 hours since we started so early. It was a lot of fun, we played some 7 Wonders and some Nurts.
