A Day of Firsts

Sunday was a day of firsts for us. J rolled over (see previous post with video).

Bunny gave her first talk in Primary. I was so proud of her! We wrote the talk last night, and she contributed much of what was said. She wasn't nervous at all, and spoke clearly. I think she liked being in front of everyone, using the microphone, and having everyone tell her she did a good job. A win all around.

And we went to Family Night at the local pool - even getting J in the water for a while! M and I both had to go down all the waterslides to 'test them out'. Bunny was eager to show off what she's been learning in swim lessons. She is doing so well that I think this is something we will have to commit to every summer. She has no problem sticking her face under water, and even immerses herself completely with no complaints. The only bad news is that I think she might be a sinker like her father. (P.S.: I know, we're not very strict on 'keeping the Sabbath Day holy', but frankly, family time is limited, and when we have the chance to do something that everyone will enjoy we take it. )

Just a shot to show what Justin looks like much of the time - fingers shoved in mouth as far as they can go.

A fruitful weekend

We got a TON done this weekend. We got all the new cove molding put up in the living room, cleaned a bit, worked in the yard before the rains began on Saturday, did a ton of laundry, moved the furniture around, watched a few movies. All in all, not bad. It was also my last Sunday in Primary, so I'm a bit pumped about that.

Don't get me wrong - my kids were great. I was opposed to the fact that I was OBLIGATED to be there every weekend. It was a big responsibility, and I took it as such, but there were some Sundays that I really just wanted to sleep in and eat pancakes until 11 am. So I finally just laid it on the line and "resigned". As I was never set apart, I figure that I've done my duty for 18 months, and it's time for a break. We're skipping the next 3 weeks anyway, so it's not like I would have been there until July. Ahhh.... freedom.

7 days until M's graduation. I don't know how pumped he is, but I sure as heck am. Not only that, but it's 11 days until we are in Kauai. Still not excited to be seen in public in a bathing suit, but hey, my excitement over a tropical vacation is outweighing my sensitivity to my thigh girth.

I am trying to eat better. This weekend was a bit of a disaster, but I did pretty well all week. I figure I just have to do what I can each day, and I'll move towards consistency. Now if I could just get back to some regular exercise.... One thing at a time.
