Jon and Laura went to Washington D.C. this week. They left last Sunday morning and got back late Wednesday night. We agreed we would take care of Clara while they were gone. It mostly entailed getting her ready for daycare and picking her up, feeding her dinner, and putting her to bed. She is the smartest two year-old I have ever beheld. Her vocabulary is off the charts! She communicates really well, and she loves to flip through her book saying nonsense as if she is actually reading the book. She refers to me as "Towsey" and Justin is "Us-jah!" I remember when Corbin used to call me "Towsey" so it's fun! We took her out to ice cream on Tuesday night mostly because I was DYING for some and we couldn't BELIEVE it was only Tuesday. Time goes so slowly when you're closing on your first house! We sent her parents this picture ;)
Clara loves my sunglasses!
I subbed at a high school four out of five days this week. It was pretty exhausting. Teenagers are foul. You wouldn't believe the garbage coming out of their mouths! I only had one or two students give me any real problems to which I quickly put them in their place... but MAN...no respect! It strengthened my testimony of how important it is to have family prayer and scripture study! Our kids NEED spiritual armor to protect them from their vile peers. Ha!
I didn't pack a book on one of the days I subbed, so I balanced chemical reactions from a chemistry book and drew pictures. Ha!
Thursday we were supposed to close on our house, but the paperwork is so backed up it hasn't been signed off yet. Our realtor said hopefully Monday, but it looks like we will have to wait another week. Bummer! But we go on vacation this Wednesday so it won't be too bad to wait while we're exploring Sun River Oregon! :)
Saturday we got up early and went to the 6:00 session and afterwards met up with Papa Jon and Joe to see Jurassic World. I was bothered by some of it, but I loved the dinosaur parts and the Chris Pratt parts which was 75% of the movie so yeah it was good. We ate yummy Mexican food and Ben and Jerry's after the movie: yum!
In preparation for our family vacation, Justin and I have orchestrated a lot of on-going games for the family. To introduce everyone to the games, we created "pre-vacation packets" and sent them out. We are excited! Next week I will have some awesome pictures/videos to upload! We'll be in Sun River from Wednesday to Sunday. It's going to be awesome!
I teach the 16 and 17 year old Sunday school class at church, and some of my students graduated last week. I went to a party for them hosted at the Bishop's house, so that was fun to see some ward friends. :)
That's about it for our update! Lots more coming in the next few weeks with our vacation and closing on our house.
p.s. we played tennis and had Chick-fil-A for date night last week and here are the pictures
