Rachel wants to be independent so badly. She tries to "help," which means she wants to do it all by herself, which leads to problems. She is very cute, and says just the right things at the right times though.
David is getting big, and is starting to sleep more. He doesn't sleep much during the day, but he is doing better at night. He likes to be able to see things, as well as have people talk to him. He gives such big smiles when he is happy. It is very cute.
Monday 7th - John woke up early and went for a 6 mile run with my mom and Chelsi. He said it was a lot of fun to run as that group again. After he and my mom got back, we headed over to the Boulevard for breakfast and to take a look at the sale prices. After we finished there, we headed back to my parents to begin the packing process. My mom and I ran over to Swig to get drinks while John did some initial packing. After we got back, we played a game of BANG! Unfortunately for John, he was out before his second turn. My dad, mom, and I ended up winning. We then got everything ready and headed back home. Rachel slept for a little over an hour, and David slept almost the whole way back. We had pretty good conditions, and only really had to slow for some debris on the road just past Nephi. After we got home, we unpacked a little bit and headed to bed.
Tuesday 8th - John headed off to work in the morning and the kids decided they wanted to have a tough day. I didn't get nearly as much finished as I wanted to as David was feeling particularly needy. John tutored after work, so he got home a bit late. After he got home, we ate dinner and watched America's Got Talent and got the kids to bed. David went down really early but then decided that was just a nap and he wanted to be up for a while longer. Eventually we got him to bed as well, and headed to bed ourselves.
Wednesday 9th - The kids were a little better today, but not as much as I would like. We made a trip to costco during the day to get more diapers since Costco was having a sale on them. John was able to come home right after work, and we were able to get some things cleaned up around the house. We enjoyed dinner, watched some TV, and headed to bed.
Thursday 10th- The kids got up way too early, and David decided he needed to be held again most of the day. Rachel had a lot of fun playing during her nap time, but never did fall asleep. Our TV must have gotten unplugged because it wasn't working during the day either, which made things fun. John got home at his normal time, and then took Rachel with him to Walmart to get a couple of items we needed while I finished dinner. After we ate, John gave the kids a bath and we got them to bed, and headed to bed ourselves.
Friday 11th - John got up early and went for a 6 mile run since he couldn't go Saturday. He said he really enjoyed a section of his run where a business had put up about 50-100 flags along the sidewalk that he got to run past. I spent the day with the kiddos. After John got home he studied for the GRE some more and then we went to bed.
Saturday 12th - John got up in the morning and left to take the GRE. The kids were not happy especially David so I decided that we should go grocery shopping. The drive put David to sleep which made everyone happier. After John got home he mowed the lawn. We had a relaxing afternoon where Rachel, David, and I all got naps while John updated some stuff for his Grad School applications. John and Rachel made a quick trip to Walmart to get some yogurt for dinner, and we made Hole-in-One Toast and smoothies. After dinner, we went to Leatherby's for dessert and to celebrate John's good score on the GRE. John and I shared a banana split, and Rachel got a scoop of ice cream (which she barely touched, so I get it). We headed home and went to bed.
Sunday 13th - David didn't wake up at all during the night, which was so nice. John and I woke up before either of the kids at 8:45. When I woke up, I was slightly panicked since David hadn't woken up during the night, so I ran into his room to make sure he was ok. John laughed at me a little bit for it. We spent the morning relaxing and getting ready for church. We had to go about 30 minutes early because I got a calling. I am part of the Relief Society committee, and I will be helping plan the weekly events that our Relief Society does. Church was pretty good. After church, we rushed home so we could get dinner ready because we invited our landlady to join us. Dinner was a lot of fun, but we had to rush a little bit so we could make it over for John's nephew Trevor's Eagle Court of Honor. John got to sit in the Eagle's Nest, and I tried to keep the kids happy and quiet. Rachel and Boston had a lot of fun hugging each other. After it was over, we headed home, got the kids in bed, and headed to bed ourselves.
