Monday [6/14]: Not much going on today. Mary didn’t have anything planned and the weather was still yucky so they mostly hung out at the house and played with KD in the morning.
Jason’s graduation ceremony was this afternoon and was broadcast on online so I watched that on my iPad. Jason got a 4.0 this year - congrats JMan!
One of his friends moms sent me this picture.
Mary and Kingston walked down to the school in the afternoon to walk KD home. We had some pasta and french bread for dinner and then everyone went to Snoqualmie Falls. We had so much rain yesterday that the falls were raging. I decided we should walk to the bottom which most everyone was game for. It’s more steep than I remembered but everyone made it just fine.
Back at the house we enjoyed the raspberry dessert Jason and I made and finished the ice-cream cake Mary bought home last night.
Tuesday [6/15]: I was airport bound this morning to take Mary and the kids to the airport. I decided to tack on a trip to WinCo and Costco on the way home and had just enough time to unload the refrigerated groceries before heading to Fall City to meet Jenn and Addy for lunch at the Raging River. The food was so-so but it was nice to catch up with them. Addy had seen that Bri, who was released as the Mt Si RS President, post on Facebook about bring released and asked me who the new RS pres. was. I kind of pointed to myself and it took a few seconds for her to process but there it was. We talked a bit about it, but not too much. There’s really not a lot to say about it at this point.
I joined Bri on a visit this afternoon to deliver a birthday card and treat to an older sister in our ward. She’s lived in the same house for 60 years and I didn’t recognize her at all. There are so many sisters I have no clue who they are even many active ones. Clearly, getting to know who everyone is going to be a huge undertaking for me.
We invited the Taylor family over for games tonight. This is Abigail’s good friend Braydon’s family. We taught him the expanded version of Settlers a month or so ago and have talked about teaching his family for ages. Unfortunately only six people can play so it was 4 of the Taylors with Abigail and Justin. Their other son couldn’t come so it was only my family members that were left out. We played a game or two, but everyone quickly lost interest in playing with the same ole people. It worked out well though because I was able to work a few things that I needed to get done. When they finished Settlers we all joined together for a fun game of Liars Dice – all 11 of us around the kitchen table. So fun and such a great family!
Wednesday [6/16]: JKD have only had one class on Wednesdays this year but today they had a regular day and Friday will be the one class day – the FINAL day of school. Jason didn’t think he would be able to join us for our tennis lesson this afternoon, but as suspected there isn’t much going on in school this week so he was able to miss class and join Carly and me. We didn’t pick up our free Krispy Kreme donut last week so I was pretty insistent we swing by today after lessons. Worth it!
Last night I put up our ad for EPIC on our neighborhood Facebook page and I’ve had requests rolling in since. Jason is taking the reins this year and it will be interesting to see how he handles the hard work and my high standard of cleanliness. He’ll start next week with Katie and Drew hopefully helping him out.
I had two doubles matches tonight and lost both. I was the weakest in both games which is frustrating. Not humiliatingly the weakest, but still the weakest.
I worked on arranging the RS ministering districts on the big, magnetic RS ministering board I inherited when I got home and then did some weights, showered and went to bed exhausted.
Thursday [6/17]: Today was a RS day! As soon as I was up and ready for the day I was in the office working on getting organized before meeting with my presidency this evening. Of course, all the managing of the household still needs done so I had some other family business to take care of and cooked up two loaves of sourdough bread.
Today was the last official day of school for JKD. Ready or not here comes summer!
My meeting tonight went well. We visited for nearly two hours which isn’t shocking being our first meeting, but I intend to never go that long again. We covered what needed to be covered and I feel like we mesh well together and that they will each be a great support.
I was up until 1am looking over our minister routes and thinking about possible callings we may need to extend. I’m sure there will always be something I can be doing.
Friday [6/18]: Justin had today off for Juneteenth – T-Mobile is very inclusive as a company and we’re happy to have a day off. Our elementary school held a reverse parade this morning which Justin drove KD through. Jason had two parties today so he was gone all day.
Justin and I played some tennis around noon, just rallying which was nice – KD played a little pickleball when the court next to us opened up. After showering Justin and I headed to Infusion for a late lunch, early dinner. I love that we have a standing BOGO free restaurant so close by that we both love.
I love seeing my kids playing game together. Abigail has been so great bringing the family together during her down time.
Carly and I had a route of Crumbl cookies to deliver this evening for Father’s Day and then I tried to stop by an inactive sisters house in the evening with my counselor to wish her a Happy Birthday. There wasn’t much face-to-face with either attempt, but the effort was made and we just left several goodies on doorsteps.
Justin went to bed early tonight since he was hiking early in the morning with some Elders in the ward. I stayed up until around 12:30am finishing my CFM study for the week and working on some RS stuff.
Saturday [6/19]: A few pictures from Justin’s hike this morning to Mount Washington with three guys from our ward.
Our ward primary had an ice-cream social today and invited everyone from the ward to come by from 11-12 and get an ice-cream and visit with ward members. We would’ve gone anyhow, but I felt the need to support it even more so now. It wasn’t a huge turnout but it did give me a chance to visit with a few sisters and KD had fun running around and playing with balloons.
Katie started a 1500 piece Disney puzzle that we got for Christmas and hadn’t opened yet. It was nice to spend some time just chilling.
Justin and I went to Covington this afternoon to pick up some Crumbl cookies – I couldn’t pass up their candy flavors this week though they were out of Heath {insert sad face}. We also got a quick bite to eat at Taco Bell (where I accidently bit into his beef burrito {insert barfy face} and hit up Costco for a few groceries. Justin went to the temple with Carly and some other YW – they were low on numbers so Abigail went as well. JKD and I did our own things back at home.
Sunday [6/20]: I’m enjoying having church at noon as it gives us plenty of time to have our CFM lesson in the mornings. Carly led the discussion today and then took off immediately afterward to her presidency meeting at the church. Since it was Father’s Day the bishopric cancelled all the regular morning meetings so it felt like I had the day off in a way, especially since it was a Sunday school week instead of Relief Society.
Jason got his second covid shot yesterday afternoon and was WIPED out all day today. He watched a show with us in the afternoon but spent the rest of the day sleeping.
Our afternoon was lazy. Drew had drawn out of the summer boredom buster yesterday to create a scavenger hunt. He was not thrilled but Abigail helped him plan a little hunt for Carly in order to find her HEFY package that had arrived. We worked on the puzzle a bit and then watch the first episode of season two of the Chosen series. Little did we know that while Justin and I watched the show with JKD, Carly was downstairs making pretzel bites for a Father’s Day treat. So yum!
We also opened up the new mattress that Justin and I ordered for our bed.
