Baby girl is moving lots more! I’m feeling much better,
although there’s an occasional bad day. It’s
definitely not even a comparable pregnancy to my first. That is great news! We
are still working on names. We have a few that we like, but will definitely
need to see her to know what her name is supposed to be.
Kolt started school this week at the ISU IF campus. He is taking
Ecology, Endocrinology, Genetics, and Parasitology. He is only has one class down in Pocatello
which is working mostly from recorded lectures and online homework which makes
it so he doesn’t have to drive down so often.
He is liking his classes and getting back into a routine, but work is
presenting its challenges. He works a
couple of night shifts a week which takes up a lot of time. Things should be a little easier at work
starting in October.
Volleyball is going
well! We practiced Monday through Friday this week with a tournament on Saturday.
The girls played great on Saturday. The won their pool and won the first 2
games to get into the championship. In the championship, we played Shelley who
we had already played in pool play. Our girls were pretty tired after 9 hours
of volleyball, and we lost in 2. The girls were disappointed, but it’s not a
bad thing to lose, if it motivates them to improve! I saw lots of great things,
and lots of things to work on. It will
be a fun year! One of the girl’s mom had lunch for us which was a life saver!
Kason stayed with Grandma Lindley, Kolt, and Grandpa Lindley throughout the
day. He was ready to go home at the end of the day, although the gym isn’t foreign
to him at all! He loves to run on the court and took 2 naps in the day. Late in the afternoon, my dad took him
outside to walk around. He took off for the parking lot, walked straight to our
car and tried to open the door handle.
He is a smart little boy!
Kolt sent his computer in to the Geek Squad last week. Kolt and I both got our computers at Best Buy
and purchased the extended Geek Squad warranty.
We have both been super happy with it.
Kolt’s computer has needed work a couple times in the past 2 years. This time around his screen started to detach
from the keyboard. In less than a week,
they shipped it back with a brand new cover. It looks like a new computer! We
are really happy with it.
On Monday night, Kolt
and Kason went on a horseback ride with Grandma Lindley, Lin Longhurst, and
Linda Gerard. Kason rode in the backpack
with Grandma Lindley on Kate. Kolt rode
Pedro. They had a great ride.
Afterwards, they met Grandpa, Natalie’s family, and me at Tautphus Park Zoo for
a Members Dinner. We had a fun time. Kason
got to pet a couple of the animals from the zoo. He thought it was pretty cool!
After the dinner, Kason, Grandpa and I went shopping. When we got home, we took
a video and pictures of Kolt with Pedro, so Kolt could put Pedro up for sale.
Kolt put Pedro up for sale on Monday night. He showed him to
a couple on Tuesday night, but already had a call from someone in Utah who
wanted him. Kolt met the guy at
Blackfoot, and he picked him up. They were a nice couple and were really happy
with Pedro. Kolt is excited to have sold
both his horses so quickly. He does a
good job of working with his horses and advertising them online. He sure makes it look easy! I’m excited for
Kolt to have a little more time now that school is started.
On Tuesday and Thursday, Natalie invited us to go swimming
with her at the Ammon Pool. Kason loves the swimming and trying to keep up with
his cousins. On Tuesday, we went with Kristi
& her kids and Grandma Lindley as well.
We had a great time both days! While we were at the pool on Tuesday,
Kolt got a call from Lock Haven University. The lady who spoke with him said
that she didn’t know what he did in the interview, but the lady that
interviewed him had never given a perfect interview score before, and Kolt got
one. So, we are officially in a P.A.
School! We are really hoping to hear from ISU, as well as Rocky Mountain in
Provo and a couple schools in Arizona as well, but it is a great feeling to
know that we have a place to go next year! I also need to mention that last
week I said that Arcadia (the 2nd school he got an interview from)
is in Pittsburgh, but it is actually in Philadelphia! Sorry!
On Wednesday, Kason and I went to the volleyball parent
meeting. He had a great time playing with Bentley during the meeting!
Afterwards, we went to a district dinner with my parents. Kolt met us there
before his night shift. After dinner,
Kason and I went back to watch the varsity play in the jamboree at the high
school, then we went out and watched Rope’s football game. They lost a tough
game against the other Bonneville team.
Kason was on-the-go all night! He is definitely a boy, not seeing still
for a minute. He had a great time playing with Cousin Paisley at the game.
On Thursday, I went
to Ashley’s volleyball game at West Jefferson with Kason and my mom. Kason and I went out on the playground with
Lindsey and Lacey in between her games. Kolt
went to Brand’s game at Snake River with Shauna, Paisley & Angela. Brand lost in a close game! We both rushed
home in time to visit with our home teachers.
On Friday, my mom and I worked on finishing our growth chart
boards. They turned out really good! They definitely took some time to finish,
but I was glad we did them! Kolt worked an evening shift, so my mom watched
Kason in the overlap before I got home and after Kolt left.
On Saturday evening after the tournament, we went to the
Annual BHC Pig Roast at Kolt’s work. We
brought a broccoli salad, which Kolt made all by himself and hamburger buns. It
was a successful dinner. Kason tried to play with some of the older kids at the
playground and especially liked playing with the sports balls they had. After the dinner, my mom and dad took Kason out
to Charlie’s birthday party. Kason ate a
whole piece of cake, and then managed to sneak up on a chair at the table and
finish one of the other cousin’s pieces. He loved it! Kolt and I drove down to
Blackfoot and watched a little bit of the Bull Riding Championships at the fair.
I get free tickets from the Post Register, so we always like going down to the fair. We were too tired to stay for very long, so
we watched a few and enjoyed the visit on the drive. Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Lindley for
putting Kason to bed for us and letting us enjoy a fun date!
On Sunday, Kolt taught Sunday school and I played the organ and
did singing time. We had a busy Sunday!
After church, Kolt slept to get ready for his night shift, and Kason and I
helped him take a nap J
We had a great dinner with the Lindley’s after everyone got out of church. It
was a great evening of visiting! We gave Charlie his birthday present: a Tarzan
coloring book. He was pretty stoked about the snake on the back.
