Well for Labor Day weekend Larry and I slept in yesterday. It was nice but you don't get as much done in the day if you sleep late. Jeff and Misty and the kids stopped by in the morning on the way to see his friend Clay. After we went shopping for food and then worked on cleaning the house and homework.

Kirsten got to put her crutches away this week but she is still in the big boot. She says that her foot feels good most of the time when she walks on it. Jon is looking like he will get an apprenticeship in Ogden but they haven't heard yet. This would be a promotion with more benefits. Kyle got a 100% on his first spelling test this week so he didn't have to retake it. All the kids are doing good in school and liking their teachers.

Erick dropped his Physics class this quarter to save his sanity. He was trying to work full time and go to school full time and was getting very stressed out and very little sleep. He is enjoying the other classes but stressing over the debt he is creating with his loans for school. He is still talking to all his girlfriends but dating them is another thing he says. He agreed to participate in a Psychology department study of dating so he is going to get paid for dating, he says. He also applied for a committe for ASUU and he has joined the Latter-Day Saints Student Engineers Association.

BJ is down for the labor day weekend. He was stressing last night because he was talking to a girl on the way down about what they could do for the weekend and then two girls texted him asking him what he was doing for the weekend. I told him to enjoy it. It never lasts until you get married. He also signed up for institute with a girl that he likes in his dorm and found out that a girl that he likes from Kaysville is in the same class. He had a confusing week getting his schedule lined up at USU because he didn't understand that he had to have his tuition paid before class began and they dropped him from all his classes. He did have a good week at work though and made several bonuses. And he finally has his schedule finalized.

Maren and Landon went to Roosevelt this weekend with Landon's family for the Labor Day weekend. They were going to a cousins baptism. I don't know what else they had planned. Michelle babysat for her one day this week because Shirley didn't get back from Nevada in time and all the other babysitters Maren has called could not take Brinlie. I bet that was fun with two babies.

Lexie had soccer practice this week. Ashton cut a tooth this week and has been a grumpy blankety blank, according to Jake, this week. Jake is trying to get together some materials to build their detached garage they are putting in the back. Then they just need to save money for the stucco. Nikki worked on things for a Relief Society Super Saturday that is this coming Saturday. Jake has guard this weekend and it is Governor's day on Saturday. Lexie also has a soccer game on Saturday. So they are having a busy weekend. Jake says that he doesn't know what he is doing on his job because they keep changing it. Sunday they are having a party for Ashton's birthday with the family, but his birthday is Thursday.

Michelle and Daniel have Ethan and Hailee in a charter school in Syracuse. They like their teachers. Michelle is a room mother. Right now she has a lot of work to do with that but they said it should lighten up. Michelle has found people to car pool with at the school so she only has to go once a day. She thought she was going to have to go twice a day because Hailee is in kindergarten but she saw a license plate that she thought she recognized so she followed it home and it was her neighbor that lives behind them. They were able to invite the kids over and Michelle was able to work things out with her for kindergarten. Ethan is starting soccer next Saturday but they haven't heard from the coach. Michelle is starting joy school, which is a co-op preschool between mothers, on the 11 of Sept. for Jaron. Kalisse rolled over from her back to her stomach this week but Michelle was in the other room and missed it. Ethan has a concert coming up on the 11th of Sept.

Larry had our home teacher and Erick give him a blessing and he got feeling better almost immediately. I have been amazed at how much better he has felt. He is starting a new job at work and should get a raise. He also applied for a job where he would be doing research that would be a step up. Larry is taking classes on Tuesdays and so I usually work late at school on that night.

I start a class about English as a Second Lanugage Training or ESL on the 11th of September that should last every Monday night until February. It will give me an ESL endorsement and help me in techniques to teach students who have problems with English. I have started my class at the U which is an Introduction to Instructional Design. So far it has been good. That is on Wednesdays.

We are working at the Family History Center on the 2nd and 4th Thursday's and on the First Saturday of the month starting in November. So I put all the things on the calendar for September and we only had two nights that we did not have something to do. But according to Reader's Digest that is how you keep your mind active.
