August 9, 2026- Sunday

 I should probably have done more today but I didn't have much I needed to do and enjoyed just a relaxing day. We had a nice relaxing morning with cereal, music and the spoken word, come follow me and getting ready for church. Roslyn and Maebryn sang with the Jones girls the song "Anytime Anywhere" it was beautiful and Karli spoke on lighthouses which was also really good. I loved hearing about what a lighthouse does and about it's foundation. Both are very symbolic. In our primary class we talked about Ester as we ate apples with carmel and nutella that we promised to bring if everyone remembered to read their scriptures. (Not all remembered but we still had it.)

We had another yummy steak dinner with sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and broccoli and then rolled ice cream for desert. Michael had made carmel ice cream with chocolate sauce and Alden rolled it, he's got that down really well. I took a picture after I had already taken a bite but it looked professional. We watched "The shaggy Dog" together then got the girls to bed.

 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.

 Today in my class we learned about Spanish nursery rhymes. The lesson went really well and just felt like a more relaxed day. I am were I can come home and still have energy to get other things done. In the evening I went with Alden to his end of the year robotics party. It was at a home of one of them in robotics, they had a beautiful yard...I'm excited to get working on my own yard this coming week with spring break. (Just before we left to Alden's robotics thing all of the kids were playing games on the trampoline together. I love to see them all playing together and realize that these moments are moments I love and want to remember and ones that won't be around much longer.)
