David is getting so big. His smile is contagious and full of so much joy. We think he has hit a growth spurt, because he has been eating a ton and has been a little bit upset. He still doesn't like nap time which is hard on all of us.
Monday 2nd - The kids and I went shopping in the morning. We stopped by Walmart and Kid-to-Kid to pick up a couple of items, but mostly to see if they had good deals on costumes that we could give Rachel for her to play dress-up. I lucked out at Kid-to-Kid. I was looking at costumes, and there was a sign that said 70% off. I was so excited. I had picked out 4 items when one of the workers came by and said that the sign should have been taken down, but they must have missed it. They were good and still let me have the 70% off of the four items though. So, we got some good stuff for Rachel for a great deal. We spent most of the afternoon at home while I tried to keep David from screaming. He had a hard day. John got home and we had dinner and got the kids in bed. After they were in bed, we started watching Blindspot, but John spent about 20 minutes on the phone with someone from Quik Check, his old job in Logan. They want him to do a statistical analysis, so he was talking to them about that. They balked a little when he told them his rate, but they want it done quickly, so we'll see how that goes. We ended up restarting Blindspot, and then went to bed.
Tuesday 3rd - The kids and I stayed home during the day. David had another tough day, and would randomly start screaming with no warning. At one point during the day, Rachel came up behind me and put her hands on my head, started whispering, and then said "Amen". I didn't think John had given that many blessings recently, but apparently she picked up on it. After I told John, we both concluded that we weren't sure if we should be concerned or think it was cute. After John got home, we had dinner and got both of the kids to bed early. David woke up for a bit after we got Rachel in bed though. John then spent a bit of time working on the analysis for Quik Check while I went to bed.
Wednesday 4th - The kids and I took the Kia in for an oil change in the morning. Apparently one of our tires had 2 nails in it, and the tread is getting a bit low, so we will be looking for a couple new tires shortly. John tutored after work, and then came home and joined us. After we got the kids in bed, we watched Survivor and John worked on his thing for Quik Check. We then got ready for and headed to bed.
Thursday 5th - Boston came over to join us for a bit of the day, so I got up early to shower. John's Dad was having heart surgery, so Boston came and played with us so that Chelsi could go be with her mom. The surgery went well, and he was doing pretty well when John went by after work. After John left the hospital, we met up at the Kia dealership. While I had been walking around during the oil change on Wednesday, I saw a couple of used mini-vans in the lot. After talking about it for a bit, John and I decided we should see if it would be possible to basically trade the Sorento for a mini-van so we don't have to get a new car when our next kid comes around. The guy helping us was great, and wanted to wait until Friday so he could see if he could get us a little extra back on our Sorento because of the warranties we purchased. John really liked this so that we could have a night to think and pray about it. We went home, got the kids in bed, and John finished up his work for Quik Check.
Friday 6th - John headed to work, and we hung out at home for most of the day. John stopped by the hospital after work to see his dad and give Tiffani a ride to the train station. After that, we all met at the Kia dealership again. We traded our Sorento, and are now the proud (at least I am proud) owners of a Kia Sedona. I'm a mini-van mom! John knows it is a good vehicle to have, but he can't be happy about it on principle. Our payment went down as well, which will be nice. We drove home, at dinner, and got the kids to bed. After that we watched the Amazing Race and went to bed ourselves.
Saturday 7th - John got up super early and went for a 10 mile run with his family. He said it went pretty well, but was pretty cold. We spent the rest of the morning getting ready for someone that John works with to come pick up our old couches, and for Ashley to deliver our new couches. I had a meeting for my calling at 11, so I had to leave right as the lady from John's work showed up to pick up the couches. Fortunately our landlady had some extra people visiting her, so they were able to help John load up the couches. Our couches (and other items) arrived a bit later, and were set up by the time I got home. After we rearranged a little bit and fed the kids, we went to Walmart to do our weekly grocery shopping. by the end, Rachel was about to have a melt down, but David slept most of the time we were there. We went home and got Rachel down for a nap, and John ran and got his hair cut. After he got back, we had to wake Rachel up so that we could drive over to the Kia dealership to sign a couple more papers (Mountain America didn't want to give us the rate that the finance guy thought they should, so he found us an even better rate with Cyprus Credit Union), and then out to Mo Bettah Steaks for dinner with a couple of our friends from Logan. They had been in Virginia for a couple years while he finished up school, but are back here for a little while. We enjoyed chatting with them and the food was really good. As we were leaving, Rachel had a meltdown because I wouldn't let her hold my drink, so the drive home was fun. We got her in bed shortly after we got home, and then David. Our friends Becca and Joe came over for ice cream and to play games. We played Ticket to Ride twice. John won the first time, and Joe won the second. After they left, we got to bed.
Sunday 8th - David had a rough night, getting up several times. Eventually we made it to the morning though. We got up and got ready for the day. I went visiting teaching while John watched the kids. After I got back, we finished getting the kids ready and went to church. David wanted to eat by the end of sacrament, so I missed most of Sunday school and then he was really cranky for Relief Society. After church, our ward held a linger longer. We met a few more families in the ward, which was nice. After we got home, John left to go pick up Tyler and they went to see his dad and to give him a blessing. He had been in a lot of pain and was having trouble sleeping. I stayed with the kids and worked on dinner. The kids, unfortunately, were not very happy for most of the evening. After John got home and we ate, we called my parents. We then got two very tired children to bed, and went to bed ourselves.
