Wed 6/17/15: Bradley made my day begin perfectly. Definitely my favorite anniversary morning, ever. The rest of the day turned out to be pretty memorable, too. David thought today would be the perfect day to learn how to swim. We went to Grandma's pool, and David held his breath under the water and swam from me to the pool steps, and then back to me again. He practiced over and over again for about three hours. Lizzy saw all the attention David was getting, so she decided she was going to learn how to swim today, too. She started holding her breath and doggy paddled in the shallow-end of the pool. She would swim a few strides and then bob up to catch a breath, then go back under again. I am so incredibly proud of my kids! They are wonderful. Brad and I took the kids out to dinner at Subway tonight, to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. It was all around a very fun day.
Thu 6/18/15: My dad posted up a video on facebook of David swimming in the pool yesterday. David and Lizzy were so excited to see the video, they watched it over and over, laughing and giggling the whole time.
Fri 6/19/15: Father's Day weekend has begun! Brad, the little kids, and I went over to pick up Scott and Emma after we went to the gym. Then we headed over to the new Cinemark theater in West Valley City to watch Pixar's movie, "Inside Out." It was very well done! We all appreciated the incredible details that made the movie great. We headed over to Grandma's house in the afternoon and swam together as a family. Lizzy and David loved showing off their new swimming skills to their dad and older siblings. I loved watching watching Brad, Scott, and Emma play Marco Polo for the first time.
Sat 6/20/15: I did a lot of photo editing this morning, as well as some gardening in the front yard. We headed over to the Harmans in the afternoon for our annual kick-off pool party. The Pearsons were still in town, so we got to visit them some more. There was a giant float called a shocker rocker that everyone had fun playing in. Brad enjoyed being there with the Harmans, Natalie, and her boyfriend, Colin. David later went in, too, and so did Scott. Scott said it was one of his most favorite pool parties at Aunt Marian's house. I agree--- it was lots of fun. I loved seeing all the kids have a fun time with their cousins. Brad and I played "Bubble Talk" with Bruce and Loralee, and later with Emma, too. The food, as always, was delicious. It was nice having more healthy options, like quiona salad, watermelon, and a squash and zucchini dish, but it was nice having the usual evil stuff, too. Chips and dip. YUM!
Sun 6/21/15: Today was Father's Day. It was adorable watching Lizzy and David sing "Daddy's Homecoming" in front of the congregation during Sacrament Meeting. We had been practicing all week, and David had the hand gestures down when it was time to sing. He was very cute. After church, I made a delicious orange chicken dinner with rice and spinach. We had FHE, then gave Brad a new Star War's t-shirt. After that, Emma and I made peanut butter cookies to take to Grandpa North and Grandpa Whitcomb. It was fun visiting with the grandpas. We took Rosie with us to both homes. We stayed over an hour with Grandpa North to watch the FIFA World Cup in women's soccer. Canada played against Switzerland. Canada won with one goal. Then we headed over to my parents' house. Grandma gave us some ice cream, then we went for a walk with Rosie and the kids around the neighborhood. Rosie scared a black cat up a tree.
Mon 6/22/15: I did not write. :(
Tue 6/23/15: Oh man. Scott dragged in me back into video-game land. It's been years since I've played Tomb Raider, and now I remember why. It's too addicting! Scott and I are trying to finish "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation." We started playing it years ago, but we never finished it. We are near the end of the game now. Lara Croft is in Egypt.

Fri 6/26/15: Lizzy came up to me earlier this afternoon, asking me to make some paper crowns for her and David to wear. Together we found the perfect crown templates on Google, so we printed them off, cut them out, and stapled all the pieces together. As I was putting the crowns on their heads, I enthusiastically said, "Here you are, Queen Elizabeth, and here you are King David." In my mind, I immediately began to think, 'wow, their names sound very royal.' It took me a second to remember why. I guess I never really thought too much about their names being the same as famous kings and queens in history.
Sat 6/27/15: I did not write. :(
Sun 6/28/15: After about a month of searching and pleading with David, my missing cellphone has finally been returned to me. Silly of me for not thinking of sifting through the ashes in our fireplace. I am glad David found it and gave it back to me. I laughed out loud when he plopped it in front of me, covered in ashes.
Mon 6/29/15: I did not write. :(
Tue 6/30/15: I am feeling happy and positive! I love my routine of going to Vasa Fitness every morning. I love seeing the changes in my body, as well as in my mind as I exercise and eat better foods. I have not lost a lot of weight, but my endurance level has increased dramatically. I LIKE working out. I LIKE feeling awake and alert. I loved it when I went to my annual physical exam today and the nurse told me I had the best vital signs she had seen all day. It is kind of addicting, working a little harder each day and seeing the results. I want to push myself a little more. I want to do a little better.
