May '18- Week 1- Dan Rowing, Anniversary, Alice 2 Months, RS Activity, Mickelle's BD

Tuesday I exercised and did some yard work.  I also registered the kids for some Summer camps.  McKenna had dance and we painted Ben's pizza costume for his opera at school.

Silliness with baby Alice.  This is what she'll look like with long hair. :)

(The kids love it when we put Alice in bed with them for a few seconds to snuggle her and say goodnight. :))

Wednesday Dan went for his first rowing lesson!  Rowing is something Dan has always been interested in and the recent book for book club "The Boys in the Boat" inspired me to encourage him to look more into it as a new hobby for him.

That morning my friend Amy Hamblin came over for a visit and some Alice snuggles.  We talked for almost 2 hours while Anna and Bethany watched shows and played.  When McKenna got home from early out and piano, she decided to make a Power Point presentation practicing some skills she learned at school.  I got a picture of Bethany's under curls, and Dan enjoyed a nap with Alice before dinner.  That night, the Priests Quorum came over for their weekly check in and once they left Dan and I watched more "Lost in Space."

Thursday was our 12th wedding anniversary! In the morning, I felt a little like super woman because it was my first time walking 2 miles pushing Anna and Bethany in the stroller and carrying Alice in the Bjorn.

Alice turned two months old!

My, she grew fast! 

Height: 22.5 in (40%)- 1.5in increase in 2 months 

Weight: 9lbs 8oz (5%)- 3.5lb increase in 2 months

Head: 75%

After dinner we went to Ben's baseball game and McKenna had activity days.  

After kids were in bed, Dan and I had popcorn, a pina colada smoothie, and watched our wedding video. 

 So so happy I married Dan 12 years ago!  I love the family we've created and how our life together thus far as turned out!  

Friday the kids didn't have school.  McKenna went to a park with the Roths.  I took the other kids on an errand and then met the Roth's at the new park on Mills Street.  Ben went to a BD party for his school friend Luca at Kangaroo Zoo. In the evening McKenna and Alice and I went to a Relief Society dinner and activity.  Mickelle came with us and we could celebrate her a little for her birthday! Dan enjoyed watching a Star Wars movie cause you know... May the forth be with you. :)

That night we also watched Black Panther after the kids were in bed.  

Saturday Dan took the older three kids to help clean the church. 

I got some adorable pictures of Alice smiling at Bethany.  We went to Kayla Koldewyn's baptism, Dan took Ben (and Anna) to batting practice.  

That night we got a babysitter and went out to dinner and to see the new Avengers movie for Mickelle's birthday.  

Sunday was a special day because Dan's Grandfather, President Nelson, came to our Sacrament meeting.  There was such a special feeling and it was so sweet to see the reactions of the people he greeted. It was Kyra McKamey's 8th birthday and she was able to give him a hug.  And Ben and Deanne Jarvis's little boy, Brooks, said "Prophet, shake?" Grandfather heard it and turned right back around to shake his hand.  McKenna said she wished he could come every Sunday because she felt like she focused better with him there.  I felt the Spirit very strongly testify that he is the Lord's prophet and that he brings the love the Lord.  Dan took Alice to YM's during the third hour.  We had Webster family dinner that night.  

Monday Anna had gymnastics and Paisley came over before preschool.  I did some vacuuming and laundry.  We went for a walk that evening after dinner and and watched "Lost in Space" after kids were in bed.  That was the first night Alice SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!
