6/1/1983: Today we went with Tina, Marsha & Melinda to Kingsberg. We went to a place called the Fun Attic where they have all different kinds of rooms with crafts, plants, toys, etc. I really enjoyed it. Then we went to a Smorgasbord for lunch and I ate so much I feel kind of sick.
6/2/1983: We went swimming today and finally got Michael to float with his water wings. He didn’t really like it but we were able to let go for a few seconds at least. Peter still clings for dear life.
6/5/1983: Dan & Cindy Wild came over after church today (night) and had popcorn. When they got ready to go, the boys hugged & kissed Jessica.
6/6/1983: Stephen’s softball team won tonight 4-0! Naturally we had to go out for ice cream to celebrate.
6/7/1983: We went swimming today and Michael really went to town. His taste of floating last week must have really excited him because he wouldn’t let us hold him today. He paddled all over the pool.
6/13/1983: Stephen’s team won again!
We went to the pool earlier today but realized when we got there that it’s closed on Mondays. The boys were really upset. We ran through the “splinkers” instead – all 4 of us.
6/18/1984: We went to the Ball’s at Hume lake for the weekend. It is a beautiful place and the boys have great fun going up and down the ladders to the lofts. They don’t quite say “Mr. Ball” right – it comes out “Meatball”!
6/19/1983: We had a very nice church service in the new chapel this morning. Michael fell asleep on the pew so we left him with “Meatball” while we looked around the camp. Then the Balls took us to lunch in the camp dining room.
6/20/1983: Stephen’s team won again. It must be the new shirts. They haven’t lost a game since they got them.
6/21/1983: Stephen took me out for some putt-putt golf for our anniversary. He won the first game but I finally got warmed up and came from behind in a stunning victory in the second game. The boys stayed with Mary Mattias and didn’t want to come home.
6/24/1983: Michael learned how to open the safety latches on the cupboards this evening and the proceeded to show Peter how. Now I’m going to have to find someplace else for my cleaning stuff.

5/1/1983: Stephen and I went to Epicurean tonight. We had ciopino (sp?) – a kind of seafood stew. It was delicious. I ate so much I got sick. Stephen didn’t like it so I have his left over for my lunch tomorrow.
5/2/1983: Shades of Mountview! Stephen had his first softball game tonight and felt right at home. They lost 20-0.
We had an earthquake today. It frightened Michael but didn’t seem to bother Peter. It was very severe in Coalinga – leveled the town.

5/15/1984: The church picnic was today. Next year we will be more prepared. We brought a tablecloth but there weren’t enough tables so we had to sit on the ground. Since we didn’t have a blanket we had to use the tablecloth. The boys didn’t have a nap so they were cranky & tired. Plus we all got sunburned. We came home early.
5/19/1983: I had my Tupperware party today. Only half the people showed up but it still turned out nice. I have enough punch ingredients left to have another party. I ended up with $13 of free Tupperware.
5/20/1983: I babysat for Ruth Ilmer tonight. Then I went over to Stephen’s softball game. I arrived just in time because Stephen had just been sent in and the boys were having a fit. They calmed down when I arrived and had a good time.

5/25/1983: We have been swimming the past few days and it has been really nice. The boys like to hang onto the edge and go all the way around the pool. Michael is getting brave enough to float by himself.
5/28/1983: We want to make sure the economic recovery stays on track so today we went out and bought clothes for the boys and a few things for ourselves. We also bought a fan to put in the boys room and wouldn’t you know, for the first time in couple of weeks it was cool enough not to need it.

12/26/1982: Grandma & Grandpa left today after going to church and taking us to lunch. They have a friend in L.A. they want to see.
12/5/1982: Daddy & the boys were playing hide & seek tonight. Daddy would hide in their room and the boys would try to find him. It was really fun to watch because they would always go to the last place Daddy had hidden. Sometimes I had to help them. They were always so excited when they found him.
12/6/1982: Michael pedaled the hot wheels tonight for the first time. He knew it was a great accomplishment and called my attention to it.
12/7/1982: Lately the boys have been unhappy about having to come home from the sitter’s. What a switch. Today they were at Sean’s and they really threw a fit about leaving.
12/9/1982: Peter told me he had to go potty before he went today. What an accomplishment!

12/11/1982: Grandpa came today and the boys were really excited about it.
12/13/1982: Peter did it again! He told me he needed to go before he actually went. Maybe we will be able to get them potty trained after all!

12/21/1982: Grandma & Grandpa Ott arrived today, a day earlier than anticipated. Daddy was sure surprised when he got home.
12/22/1982: We had a terrible storm today. There was flooding and power failures up and down the state. We were only without power for about 45 min. Good thing Grandma & Grandpa got in yesterday.
12/24/1982: We drove up to King’s Canyon today. We weren’t able to go into the park because we didn’t have chains but it was a beautiful drive up there. It’s all the snow we’ll have for Christmas.
12/25/1982: The boys had a great time this morning. As soon as they’d got one gift opened they asked for another. They remind me of their Aunt Cindy.
