    Friday afternoon uncle Matt came by and gave all of the kids a ride in the ‘toy’ car. He had rented it for the day and the kids thought it was awesome.

    Friday evening was the School Fun Run. Our kids love this even though they don’t love to run. Ben ran with the kids this year and Millie and I met them at the end. We chilled with Matt and Jamie’s family afterwards and ate pizza. Benji says “it was the best running thing ever!” Packer says, “it was fun because I beat all of my whole family again and I got a candy medal!”

    Then we came home and examined our newly flattened yard and tried to picture some finished landscaping. LaNell and Michelle were over and the 30 minutes in the back yard resulted in baths for all kids and dogs.

    I’m pretty sure I was exhausted that night:

    On Thursday the 19th they started work in our backyard! We extended our patio around the back of the house and a path along the east side. We are so excited to get a yard. It looks like it is going to be right in time for winter BUT… we are so excited to cover up this dirt and have a place for the kids and dog to run around again. We also received a visit from Pete and Amanda’s family. Sam was so excited to hold little Millie – it was really cute!

    Millie is 1 week old! My body recovered wonderfully after this delivery. I really am amazed at the process. I’ve done it six times but it is still magical and marvelous. We were a little bit antsy on Wednesday. Kids were feeling cooped up and the weather was just starting to cool off. But Aunt Christy called and the kids decided they needed to draw pictures for her and that helped us get through the day. Friends from our new ward brought dinner and that was great. I really am so grateful because dinner time is my least favorite time of the day.

    Tuesday morning my mom had to leave. It’s hard to say goodbye because she is awesome at “helping”. She just see’s what needs to be done and she does it. Sometimes that is house work, sometimes food or playing with kids… she can do it all. (then i have energy to party with all of the fam that come with her). I missed my nap time and was pretty grumpy in the kitchen trying to make dinner with fussy and fighting kids when Ben got home from work… he’s experienced enough to recognize the situation and jump in and help me. We survived. That night was Dad Time for Packer… he and Ben went to a park and made a collection and enjoyed some one on one time.

    Monday was a party day. It was my mom and Mike’s last day with us 🙁 We played and shopped. The kids soaked up Grammy time and uncle michaels ipad time. I napped. That evening Ryan and his family came for dinner and everyone from the night before. Then around 7pm my moms sisters and parents and some of the cousins showed up and we surprised my mom with a little bit early 60th birthday party!!

    A restful day at home. Family went to church. The under three year olds and I did not. Ben made sunday dinner. My brothers (mike, sean, brady and joel) and sister in law (megan) and niece (shaelyn) came over for dinner. Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim stopped by. Lots of loves for Millie.

    Grandma went with Ben and did soccer duty Saturday morning. We watched a little football and passed around the baby and took naps. Matt and Jamie’s family stopped by.
