Today was baby Henry's blessing day. He's such an adorable little guy! It was extra special too because Gary & Alexis were able to come from Vegas to spend the weekend with the family and be at the blessing. They met Ricki for the first time and love her! It's been a great day.

Simon and I needed this reminder from my fortune cookie last night. After Simon took the kids camping last night, he got home to find that a few other things didn't go according to plan and we ended up having a bit of a rough family day. It ended well though and I agree, we have a happy life to look forward to together.

 

 

Friday, August 1

Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Really, I've gone from giddy-happy-joy to bawling in a matter of minutes several times today. My day started out with me at my 6-week (well, 5.75-week) appointment where I learned that I will need another "feminine" surgery and have another 6-weeks of recovery. Bring on the tears! I am DONE with the hospital and all things involved. However, my day got better when Simon called and said that he found a 4th generation iPad for a smokin' deal. I went and picked that plus a baby sling up and I was over-the-top happy...until I thought about surgery again... But my day ended with my family, other than Ricki and I, leaving to go on our ward campout. I was able to spend the evening with Marisa Olsen having a girl's night out. We went to Panda Express, stopped at Dave & Viv's to see Gary & Alexis who just got into town, and then visited until after midnight. Crazy day!!

Sara Broadhurst's friends and family had a get together in memory of her husband Paul. She's been through so much! Last Friday, her husband died in fire at their home. He actually set the home on fire and it exploded with the help of gasoline. She lost everything but luckily, her and her girls were in Idaho with her parents. Otherwise, it could have been much worse. I have and will continue to pray for her little family. (Sara was at my MOPS table this past year.)

I was worried about how on Earth I was going to shop at Sam's Club with Ricki. Well, here's how: pile everything in around the car seat carrier! I have to admit, this is a problem I love having! :)

First grade started on Tuesday but they had orientation on Monday. This is Kendra and her new teacher, Miss Lockwood. She is so excited to start first grade, go to school all day, and eat lunch at school. She had a great first day!

Today was Nick's first day of third grade. I think he's really going to like his teacher, Mrs. Fay. Her room is cute - it's decorated in a western theme. He's very happy he'll be learning cursive. I've taught him a little but he's excited to practice and learn the whole alphabet. I feel hopeful that this will be a good year for him. I can't believe I have a third grader!!
