July 7, 2026- Tuesday Swim day

 Our morning project was working on the rock wall on the slide and cleaning up the back porch as well as removing some of the sunflowers in the pool area. (When I brush up against the sunflowers I get hives all over me so I have to have a clear path to turn on the slide in the pool area.)

 I love having us all go out and work as I feel like we are able to get so much done in such a short amount of time. We have had so many things on our back porch but now we have used all of those things we have had sitting there for different projects. The gardens are looking better, the pool area is looking better, the trampoline is safe, ect. 

After our work project everyone went swimming and Coen came over, I ran to the store and then the Jones, Dexters, and Astons came over and a new lesson for Alden. It was a good day and we got Calvin to track on time.

Joys of the day...

1. Yard Projects done

2. Made and taught the girls how to make lasagna 

3. Someone found Calvin's wallet that he left at the family reunion and called him and will send his wallet.

4. Got Calvin to track on time and I was able to read Nathan's Glad book while there, which was super good.

5. Got to read with Maebryn before she went to bed. She is getting better and better each time. And the kitchen is clean!

 Seminary went well. It is hard to get up as I am not yet into the routine, but I can tell I am getting there. After seminary I came home to check on the kids, they were all still in bed except Maebryn who was awake when I left. I was amazed that she hadn't woken anyone up. Everyone else..Evan, Benson and Roslyn were still a little under the weather so we had them stay home and I took Alden, Calvin and Maebryn to school. We started learning about Puerto Rico today which made for a nice day. The first day of a country is always really nice as it's already planned out and everyone knows what to expect. Things are really going smoothly at work. Came home and did the Spencer's lessons. Then I warmed up some frozen pizza's, snuggled Maebryn and Roslyn as I read to them, then went up and read "The Other Side of the Mountain" to Benson and Evan and am now in bed writing this and it's only 8:30.  Miracle of today is just it all, miracle that school is going well, ...

 I cooked up some eggs and hashbrowns and then left for the open house at the school. Alden and Calvin came on their own just a little bit after I did. Michael took Benson and Evan to basketball and took Roslyn and Maebryn along with them as I was going to be gone all day.  The open house seemed to go well. There were probably only a few new people looking into the school as a new school for them for the year but there was good flow of people and everything looked great. I finished up at the open house around 3pm. Once home we were going to have art with Sister Taber but she wasn't feeling well so we just had a nice low key evening at home. Which worked out well as Michael and everyone that was at basketball didn't get home until around 4pm. Both boys got metals for how they played today. It was a nice day. Michael and I ended it by watching a couple episodes of psyche.

 This was another very relaxing day. We had break the fast which we took the potato salad that Calvin made last night for dinner. I haven't been able to get a hold of Frances, she says that she started working, so I didn't have anyone to pick up. I simply went to church taught my class and played the piano in Primary. At home I wrote in all the kids journals, got their sheets printed off, went for a walk and had time to relax. Miracle of the day was the simplicity of it all. Having time to do the girls hair, talk to Michael about the practice and have a nice clean house that we had cleaned up well the night before.
