Weekly Ten..

1)Prayer By Evelyn: Before Bed
Dear Heavenly Father, Please bless that we love our stroller, and that we can have fun at Disneyland, and that I can eat good and try new things. And that I won't touch my bottom or hit anyone. That I can love Daddy, Mommy, & Lyla.  * I just started laughing with the bottom remark, she just has the cutest little voice while praying too. Love that girl. She is so sincere while praying.
Prayer By Evelyn: At Dinner
Dear Heavenly Father, Please bless Daddy to be safe. Please bless that you like me and Sandy, and Grammy & Grandma, and Grandma Leslie. Name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Prayer By Evelyn: Before Bedtime
Dear Heavenly Father, Thankful for this day. Please bless that I be nice to Mommy and not say naughty things to her. And can say nice things to her and Daddy. And not tell Lyla NO NO and be nice to her too. Help us to sleep good all of us. We need to be good in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
2) Trent got new fenders, doors, and a hood for the Mustang. When I got back from my Pilates class Monday. There was a HUGE Fex Ex Semi on our road. Trent told me they would be coming so I knew it was for his parts. I had to hand signal and back up the driver to our shop door. Then we had to take every part out of the box to inspect it. So that none of it was damaged. That Fex Ex guy and I bonded while we pulled out all these parts to check for them. What a nice guy, there was no damage whatsoever...PHEW! He has been in Mustang heaven putting all those new parts on, it's starting to look really sharp. Pics to come.
3) I went running for the first time in about 1-2 years (timeline is sketchy). Just me, the girls and my new jogger stroller. Man it felt good to put my still new running shoes on and go. I ran about a mile, holy smokes, that was SOOOOO HARD BUT FELT AMAZING. WHAT A WORKOUT, I COULD FEEL MY LUNGS AGAIN....YAY. I WAS SORE THE NEXT DAY. WILL BE RUNNING MORE AND MORE WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS TO COOL DOWN. CAN'T WAIT:)
4)Evelyn started preschool this week and LOVES IT!!. She has learned a lot in a week and 3 of her friends are in there. She leaned all about the letter M and even has homework to take home. I really like the teacher and what she does with the kids. My only problem is Evelyn has been coming home with allergies this week, they have indoor cats so that may be causing them. She says her eyes were bothering her, was sneezing and her nose was getting to her. We have been spending a lot of time over at Sandy"s house (our neighbor who is a widow). She also has cats. The girls have been having allergy symptoms for the last few days. The only thing I can pinpoint it to is cats.  I think I will have to mention this to her teacher to see if she can remove them during preschool. I don't have any tolerance for indoor animals...of any kind. Because I get so miserable around them. I hate the hair and they stink up a house. I don't see a point to having them inside for any reason. Sorry to all you indoor pet lovers. But, if you ever want me to come over to your house, I am out...it's not worth the hours I suffer afterwards. I have an allergy pill that seems to work sometimes but I never know if it will work...but then it keeps me up for hours so ya.......I'm finished now.
4)I am getting stressed with my calling lately. Last October came the same thing...The Primary Sacrament Presentation. At it's all me who writes it and comes up with it. Yep....me Sister Leavitt. I don't know how I will get it written this year, but I know somehow I will with guidance from the Holy Ghost and LOTS OF PRAYING....WISH ME LUCK. I will be jumping for joy October 22nd, when it's all over:)
5)My Grandma Leslie & Grandpa Ron are coming into town today. Yay we see them once a year if we are lucky. They live in Surprise, AZ way too far away. We get to spend Labor Day with them and I couldn't be more excited/happy to see them. Evelyn can't wait to see her other grandparents that seem to get forgotten sometimes.
6)Lyla new phrases this week include: Why.....Stop......Nose Running....Hi Mommy.....Eban(Evelyn) Where are you? HMMMMMMMMMM.......I go potty too......Juice and Gock(rock)....Watch Dis(This).....Ready Go.....Wow...Schooz You (Excuse You) She is at such a fun/ but stubborn age. Her personality is just shining through.
7)Trent wanted to get the irrigation company to come look at out the ditch at the end of our road to get our water to flow better. So, one of the head guys came and figured out what he would do. Also, he said he could clean out ours free of charge. Trent told them that was great but to keep this hedge that was on our neighbor Sandy's side of the ditch. So, one day they show up and I don't think much about them being out there. Trying to hide from the hot sun and doing our regular afternoon thing. I hid inside all day. Trent comes home and walks in the front door and tells me they cut down the whole hedge....WHAT I LOOKED OUTSIDE TRYING TO NOT KILL SOMEONE. I WAS SO MAD AND BUMMED. HE SAID HE I TOLD THEM NOT TOO BUT THEY DID IT ANYWAY. GRRRRRRRR WHY WOULD THY? HOW COULD THEY? IT'S SO BARE NOW.....YOU BETTER LET THEM KNOW THEY MESSED UP BIG TIME. I WAS STEAMED. SO MUCH I WASN'T TALKING MUCH....I WENT TO READ MY SCRIPTURES...G ON A DRIVE. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET USED TO THE SIGHT OF IT. I AM TALKING DAYS...BUT I THINK I LIKE THE OPEN-NESS OF IT NOW.  I STILL DON'T LIKE OUR DITCH EXPOSED I REALLY LIKE THE HEDGE KEEPING THE GIRLS OUT OF IT. WE THINK WE WILL HAVE TO ENCLOSE IT ALL UNDERGROUND NOW. IT'S JUST NOT THE SAFEST ROUTE.
