Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in August:
Sun 8/1/10: Rachel and Craig arrived at Aunt Cindy's house today. We went to Multnomah Falls together. It was beautiful! The Marshes arrived this afternoon, too. It was great seeing them again.
Mon 8/2/10: We headed to Powell's Bookstore today. We also went to the Portland Temple, and the Lego Store. We got some great books and Scott was very pleased with his Lego choices. We had taco salad for dinner. YUM!
Tue 8/3/10: The whole family went to Cannon Beach today. It was kind of cold and rainy, but we still had fun eating lunch together, shopping, and playing on the beach. The Norths and Montgomerys played soccer after dinner. I took pictures. Everyone had a fun time!
Wed 8/4/10: This afternoon we had our annual family BBQ. The potato salad and fruit salad tasted great, and Nick, as always, did an amazing job grilling. It's nice being with family!
Thu 8/5/10: We went out to dinner at a restaurant in Idaho tonight, and when we went to pay the check, the waitress announced to us very cheerfully that someone had already paid it for us. How nice is that? It made my heart very happy that someone would be that generous and kind to us despite us being perfect strangers.
Fri 8/6/10: It's great to be home after a long day of driving! I was so happy to sleep in my bed again.
Sat 8/7/10: I loved waking up beside my husband this morning tucked in our own cozy bed. It was so nice having Lizzy sleep in for us. Yay for time zone changes!
Sun 8/8/10: I announced in Young Womens that I completed my Personal Progress. I should be getting my medallion next week!
Mon 8/9/10: Lizzy has a new tooth coming in! It's her first tooth on top. The one next to it is following close behind. Pretty soon she's going to have a very toothy grin.
Tue 8/10/10: My happiest time of the day was cuddling with my husband and baby. Being a mother and a wife are my greatest blessings.
Wed 8/11/10: Lizzy is getting so big! She's walking and getting into EVERYTHING now. Her sense of humor continues to grow as well. We spent a good 20 minutes today just playing with her diapers. She would empty out her bag of diapers and stick them on my head and watch them fall off. She thought it was the greatest game ever invented!
Thu 8/12/10: I watched Lizzy make funny noises outside the bathroom door while she was waiting for her papa to get out of the shower. She was mimicking her father's raspberries perfectly. At first I thought it was Brad not her. Very, very cute and silly!
Fri 8/13/10: Scott & Emma came back from their week-long visit with Melanie. It's great having them home again!
Sat 8/14/10: We went over to see the Harmans today, and we helped clean and went swimming. Rosie and Tricky came, too. I had fun taking pictures of Rosie and the kids in the pool.
Sun 8/15/10: I received my YW Recognition today. I'm glad I got it done!
Mon 8/16/10: Lizzy played in the sprinklers outside for the first time today. She liked sticking out her tongue and licking up the water. She's such a cutie!
Tue 8/17/10: I like being internet savy! I discovered some pretty interesting things today. Did some detective work.
Wed 8/18/10: Emma had her therapy appointment this morning and I got to participate. I love my stepdaughter! She's such a wonderful little girl.
Thu 8/19/10: It POURED today while I drove to Scott's school to pick up papers. It's the Utah monsoon weather, as Margaret would always say.
Fri 8/20/10: Today was Scott's 7th Grade orientation at his new Junior High school. He enjoyed spending time with his friend Brett and seeing his new school. I can't believe he's in 7th Grade already!
Sat 8/21/10: Brad and I went to see "Inception" finally. We've been wanting to go for weeks. We enjoyed it, but agreed it wasn't as good as some of Christopher Nolan's other films.
Sun 8/22/10: Emma gave her talk in Primary today. She spoke on miracles that Jesus Christ performed while he was here on Earth.
Mon 8/23/10: First day of school! Emma was very excited to go back to school. She loves her new teacher, Mrs. Murray. She's excited to get back into the swing of things.
Tue 8/24/10: I watched an old 80's cartoon called "The Fluppies" on Youtube today. I spent my whole childhood thinking it was called "The Fluffies," so I never found it until now. It was fun watching it today. I remember watching it as a kid and loving it.
Wed 8/25/10: Brad and I started watching "Young Victoria" tonight. What a great movie! I wish they'd make more movies like it.
Thu 8/26/10: Scott put soap suds on Lizzy's head tonight. Lizzy thought it was pretty hilarious. He made her have a Mohawk and look like "Two Face." Silly brothers!
Fri 8/27/10: Lizzy went with Brad and I to Chick-fil-A for dinner tonight. It was rainy and wet, and Lizzy wore her adorable black and white hat to keep her head dry. Lizzy enjoyed her yummy chicken nuggets. Mmm Mmm!
Sat 8/28/10: Things went really well for Brad today! Mediation turned out much better than he anticipated. We celebrated in the afternoon and had a late lunch at Applebees.
Sun 8/29/10: Brad gave a fantastic lesson in Sunday School today on select verses from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. I love the way Brad teaches. He's naturally a great teacher.
Mon 8/30/10: For Family Home Evening we had popsicles in the front yard while we discussed the new parent-time plan the kids would be following. We wanted to know how the kids felt about the new arrangements. I think they're going to be fine.
Tue 8/31/10: We set up Lizzy's new dresser in her and Emma's room today. I had a busy time sorting through all the clothes and decorating things. My baby girl is growing up! She keeps out-growing her cute little infant outfits. Where has the time gone?
