Happy Mothers Day

This last week was a pretty fun one.  Jared had regular school on Monday but then not for the rest of the week.  On Tuesday Alan and I went to his performance thing in his class.  We got to go around to different stations and he got to show us what he has been learning this year.  Tuesday night there was an art show at Wasatch...each student had at least one piece of art on display.  All the kindergarteners had three.  It was a lot of work for someone to put it all together but it was really fun to go see what everyone had been working on all year.

I wish I could remember what they are playing...but Brad had to have the scorpion down his shirt with the backpack...

Wednesday Jared had his end of the year testing...it was just 20 minutes one on one with his teacher...and it didn't even take the whole time.  The rest of the day we were just able to play.

Thursday my visiting teachers came, we ran a few errands, took dinner to a family who moved Friday....and I'm sure had fun.

Friday was more of the same...We played and played and played...ok Alan helped the family move in the morning and then we went to a plant sale at the new BYU green houses by kiwanis park...Alan let me get a fuchsia....then we dropped Alan off at work.  We went over and played at Jeff's house for a little....and then had to do laundry that night.

Saturday had the potential of being super busy...We had a ward activity, the Provo center street temple ground breaking, a block party at the museum of peoples and cultures, children's book day at the library, and a party at a new convention center on center street.  We went to the ward party...there were hot dogs, pie eating contest, slip and slide, ultimate Frisbee....and tons of fun.  It was hard to pull everyone away...so we only made it to the library...and shopping for the day....Alan made the comment that it was weird to be within walking distance of the new temple and not be in the temple district (that's why we didn't go to the ground breaking...or a broadcast of it).  It was a super fun day!!!!

Boys against girls tug of war...the girls almost won.

At the library

Today the primary kids sang in sacrament meeting...They did a great job.  Alan barbecued some pork and veggies for our dinner and it was delish...He also made some cookies tonight...monster with coconut and white chocolate chips...no M and Ms. We went on a walk to the temple and spent lots of time outside...it was a beautiful day.

Flowers up at the Temple...you can tell it's after dinner from the fruit punch mustaches...

Yes monster cookies do fit in our mixer

Unfortunately Jared has to go back to regular school tomorrow but there are only 2 weeks left....and they'll go fast.

A couple of funny things that Lauren says right now that I love!!!!  When she see a slug bug she says ding ding 1 slug bug (then the color)...If they see more than one on a trip the number increases...If you point one out to her she will say you can ding ding it if you want to...it is super cute.  The other thing she said last week was (talking about Connor...he was wobbly standing on my lap ) he's going hippy hippy hippy....so I had to ask what hippy hippy hippy was...it is when you shake your hips...duh mom...she happily showed me how she can to it too...made me laugh.
