| Watching movies after church |
- Grant and Cora had headaches during church. Cora's continued through the afternoon and evening. After dinner she was even a little bit pale.
- Watch High School Musical and High School Musical 2 today. The kids love the songs!
- Both my visiting teachers and our home teachers came today. Both visits were good. Frank has a new,\ companion, Steve Hopkinson, so it was nice to get to know him a little better.

- Silas went to the temple with Josh Williams this morning.
- Cora woke up with a croupy cough.
- Woke up Grandma and left all the kids but Molly home. They fought most of the time and it was a stressful time.
- Trying new chore wheel today and it wasn't too successful. Hoping tomorrow will be better.
- Silas was super tired so he slept a lot of the day.
- We watched High School Musical 3 this afternoon which was fun.
- Grant, Ryan and I went to Lin's for a special ice cream run I celebrate the day off since we couldn't go anywhere with Cora not feeling well.
- Sometimes days off are hard. But I did enjoy not having deadlines and places to go.
- Silas needed to print something off at the church so we went over for a little while in the evening and played basketball. The boys are actually pretty good so we may just have to look into basketball next year.

Tuesday, January 17th-
- Molly and Cora are both coughing now. Cora seemed to be acting better until evening when she was miserable. Poor girl.
- Silas came home around noon for lunch and ended up staying home because of his neck/head pain. He's been having pains in his neck that cause headaches for about a week. It’s sad and a little frustrating.
- We watched The Force Awakens and Pollyanna.
- I had planned all day to go to the temple tonight with Cleod to do baptisms. At first he agreed to go,but finally expressed concern about going without Silas or another boy to be with him in the locker room. Luckily I didn't make a big deal about it because I know people who legitimately have temple anxiety and I don't want Cleod to have those feelings because of me. So I invited Megan to go with me and do initiatory instead. We had a great time, a great visit and some yummy frozen custard.

| Sleeping in Mom's bed |
Molly and Cora slept in our room again last night and Molly woke up after sleeping for a while and must have had an interesting dream. “I was making me a weapon. Sometimes girls need a weapon...because their daddies told them to have weapons.”
Cleod has a sore throat today so he stayed home. He was way bummed to,miss Mutual tonight.
Ryan and Grant had scouts though and it sounds like they had a good time.
I took advantage of early out day and kids being sick and I worked on family history for a lot of the day and evening.
Silas and I also went out for a lunch date since Cleod was home. We just went to Taco Bell but had a good talk.
Thursday, January 19th-
Cleod, Grant and Cora stayed home from school again today. Molly is sick too. Cleod and Grant read and watched a ton of movies. I am not feeling well today either so the girls and I literally laid around most of the day. We slept through most of the morning and then we had a small lunch. Then we slept for a couple more hours. I felt super lazy but realized that if I stayed in bed they most likely would too and they are definitely the sickest.

I made chicken noodle soup for dinner and took some to a lady in the ward who has been sick. Then Silas and Ryan went to Tamina’s 1st birthday party at the Warby’s. The other kids watched a movie and I did family history.

| Cuddling with Dad at lunch time |
Molly was funny again and said some crazy things today. She always seems to say strange things when she has fever. Today she was saying that she was Molly and that “God told her she was Molly.” She also got really emotional once and cried because she said something silly and I responded, “Molly, you're full of garbage,” which is something I say to the kids a lot, in a teasing way. She started crying and said, “I'm not garbage. God said I'm not garbage!” Those two mentions of what God told her were a few hours apart too. Haha. Within about 10 minutes of the garbage breakdown, Molly was laughing and calling herself garbage. Haha.
Friday, January 20th-
Ryan was the only one who went to school again today. Cleod and Grant probably could have but I wanted them to rest. I was able to have a nap in the morning while the kids did who knows what. When I woke up Molly was asleep on my bed though, so that was good.

By evening most of us were feeling better so hopefully we are done. The girls are still coughing but that might last a while. Silas came home not feeling great though. He still made me dinner and hung out with the kids.

Ryan and I went to the SUU gymnastics meet tonight. We were all going to go but Silas decided to stay home with the other kids and I have the other tickets to Amber. It was fun to hang out with Ryan. He really gets into the competition and we had some good conversation about being a good sport. The SUU girls won so that was even better. ;)

Brett and Deruchette brought Tamina over late tonight and she seems ok. She'll be with us until next Sunday, so hopefully she will put up with me for that long.

| Day 1 |
Tamina is doing great at our house. She didn't have her 2nd nap because Grant couldn't stand her crying and went into check on her before she fell asleep, but other than that she was totally fine.
I cut Ryan and Grant’s hair today and even made it to the gym. I ran for the first time in a while and my foot didn't hurt until after I finished. Even then it just had a weird feeling but not pain. Silas also went to racquetball today too.
