We tried to go camping this weekend with the Salmon's. It was perfect weather and it was going to be a great trip. But we got there at 4:00 just like we always do and it was full! It's never full then. So we hiked and had a bbq and smores with the Salmons. The kids had fun. We stayed until dark. It would have been really fun to stay overnight, but it was nice to sleep in our own beds. Seth also got a cold that night and was up most of the night, so that would have been miserable in a tent.
Saturday was beautiful weather. I cleaned the windows inside and out and Bob cleaned both cars and the kids played. Then we went to the church and played basketball and rode bikes. Aaron learned to ride his two-wheeler yesterday. It was great. He's tried a couple of times before and was too scared. But this time he got it right away. He rode all over the parking lot with Bob running next to him. I could hear him laughing the whole time. He was so proud of himself. There's been a reward offered for a long time that if he learned to ride his bike, he'd get his own scooter. So he got that yesterday too. He had a great day!
Bob and I went on a date last night. We were going to go to the temple, but Seth was sick. So we were going to do sealings so we'd get home sooner. Then we decided we didn't even have time for that and just went to dinner. It turned out to be the best choice. We got home to Seth not sleeping and being all snotty. So I sat and held him for a while and then as soon as I put him in bed, Aaron was up screaming because his stomach hurt. Bob was ready to take him to the doctor, but I sat with him in the bathroom for a long time and it turned out it was just bad digestive issues. So we were glad we came home in time to take care of our boys. And then after all that, they both slept through the night. We were ready for a long night of getting up with our sick boys, but we were pleasantly surprised.
Danny's baptism is Saturday. He's so excited. And we're so proud of him. Everyone is coming in late Friday night and leaving Sunday afternoon. So it will be a super quick trip, but we're so glad they can make it.

April 19
Danny is really getting into baseball. He had three games last week. The last two games, he got hits every time he was at bat. And one time he even hit a homerun. He's so fun to watch as things click for him--it makes him work even harder to be better.
Rachel and I had "the talk" yesterday. I found out that her friend told her what sex is last week. So on Sunday we all went up to the temple to walk around and Rachel and I went off by ourselves to talk. I think it went pretty well. I explained that it's sacred and it's a special way to make babies. And I told her that satan tries to make it dirty and gross and not very special. Once she understood it's purpose she seemed to really relax. She such a great girl. I love her so much.
Friday night I took Danny, Rachel and Aaaron to the drive in with three of their friends. Bob stayed home with Seth. Because it was too late for Seth and Bob needed to go to bed early for another triathlon. It was at Lake Mead again. He did really well. He did it 30 min faster than the one he did there last fall.
I've been a lot less sick this week. I only took the nausea medicine once. And the week before I was taking one or two a day. So I hope that's ok that I'm not so sick. I'm still super tired though.

April 11
I'm so tired. I slept 10 hours last night and I could definitely have a nap now. I had my ultrasound Friday and the heartrate is into the normal zone now. It was 156. So now I just go back to having normal appointments.
The boys started their baseball and tball games this week. It was fun to watch. They were both so excited about it. The thing that'll be the hardest, though is that they have lots of their games on weekdays and Bob doesn't get home until 6:30. With basketball and soccer, the games are always on Saturdays. And Danny went to cub scout day camp this weekend. He adored it. Such fun boy things to do--bb guns and archery and rocks and worms.
Bob's friend, Josh, flew in yesterday to go to a concert with Bob. Then he flew out this morning. It was quick, but Bob had a great time. And I was glad I didn't have to go to the concert.
I had the flu on Tuesday. It was hard to tell if I was getting it or not because I'm already nauseous all the time, but then I got a small fever and achey. But it was just about 24 hours and I was back to my normal sick feelings.

April 4
It's Easter. My mom and Dad and Ryan and Venessa and Jeremy came for Easter. They got here on Wednesday night. Ryan and Jeremy brought the stomach flu with them. So far Seth, Rachel and Danny have also gotten it. So we've stayed home mostly this weekend. But it was also conference this weekend so we wouldn't have done too much anyway.
Danny's 8th birthday was Friday. He got fish and chips from Carl's Jr. He had a basketball party and a dinosaur pinata. Then we went to the park and he and Aaron, Bob and my dad played basketball and T-ball for a long time. He said he had a great birthday. We also went to the drive-in on Monday to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", a book he's read. He just missed the stake baptisms, so he'll get baptized on May 1. He's really excited. He's such a great boy!
Conference was great. They talked a whole lot about children and how to nurture and teach them. We need to do better with family scripture study. Bob reads to the kids when he tucks them in, but Seth and I are usually in the other room getting him to bed. We have been doing well with our new family motto, though. It is Love, Learn, CTR. We have actions to go with it and we give out awards every Sunday at a family meeting. So all week long we write nominations of things people have done in each area. It gives a good forum to praise the kids for good choices.
Also earlier this week, I was trying to think if there was any questions or special things I should be thinking about for conference. I couldn't think of any, but then we had the missionaries over for dinner and one of them shared a spiritual thought and said he is focusing on what the Prophet is going to tell us. I knew that was what I needed to listen for too. Then when President Monson started speaking today it was about death. At first I was a little nervous because I don't want to learn anything about death. But then I realized that I need to share his message with Sandy, next door, who is dying of cancer. I've been thinking for a while that I need to talk to her. President Monson's talk was wonderful, and was everything I could imagine she should hear. So now I just need to figure out how and when to approach her.
I went to an appointment for my pregnancy last thursday. Things went well. They did an ultrasound then and said I'm due November 18. But it was a few days too early to hear a heartbeat. So I went back this Thursday for another ultrasound. The heartbeat was there, but it was a little slower than it should be. It was 117 and they like it to be between 120 and 180. So I'm going back again this week for another ultrasound. I'm still pretty sick and tired. This week it got pretty bad so I took some of the anti-nausea medicine from the dr. It helped some. So at least I didn't feel sick constantly. If I get busy enough, I can forget about it for a little bit.
