Last weekend we went to Visalia for Ruby's birthday. We had a great time. We went Thursday night until Monday night. We went to fun parks and we went to Adventureland to do the arcade and miniature golf to celebrate Danny making the varsity basketball team, and Rachel getting elected to Treasurer for student council. We went up to Slick Rock at Three Rivers and the Reimers candy store. And we celebrated Ruby's birthday.
I'm still working on getting my life in better order. I think my biggest problem now is that I've planned out my days to accomplish a lot, but things happen and I'm not focusing on my scripture time as my top priority. I'm going to work more on that this week.
Bob took the three oldest up to Utah this weekend to see a BYU basketball game and football game. They stayed at Kenton's house. The weather was horrible for the football game it snowed slushy rain and they were freezing so they only got to stay at half the game. But other than that they had a good time.
I stayed home with Seth and Ruby. They were both sick all weekend. But it was nice to have a whole saturday to get things done.

November 3, 2013
I'm feeling a little swamped with kids activities. Danny is on 2 basketball teams and finishing soccer. Rachel is doing student council and drama after school and doing volleyball. Aaron is doing football and soon will switch to basketball and just added scouts. And all are doing piano. I pretty much don't plan to get anything done after the kids get home because we're in the car most of the time.
I'm really excited about all the "hastening the work" talks and missionary work talks in conference and in our ward and stake.
I've been working on my priorities lately. I know what I think is important and I try to schedule my days so I can be more effective. But, even then, I was noticing that lower priority things were taking up too much time. So I'm trying to switch my scripture reading to the morning and then using that time to help me see what I should focus on that day. I'm still working it out, but I think it'll really help.
Aaron's tantrums were really bad this week, which is too bad because we did so many fun Halloween things. I think part of it is that he's slowly been staying up later. So we're working on that.
The kids had a halloween piano recital on Monday night. They did great. Wednesday night was our Trunk r Treat. Bob was in charge, as the ward mission leader, so I went around with the little kids and then we handed out candy. Thursday was Halloween and we went over to Shauna Reed's house and had pizza and then went trick or treating. It was a huge group. The kids had lots of fun. Danny and Aaron were sumo wrestlers, Rachel was a crayon box, Seth was a power ranger one night and spiderman from last year one night, and Ruby was Sophia the first.
