Tuesday Jared had another good day at school. We always ask him how his day was when we pick him up and he always (so far) says good in a bright happy tone. We walked down to pick him up this day. We had been over on campus and then walked over to pick him up and home. Jared had a soccer game in the evening and then we went over to the party at the stadium. We got to see the new screens and ribbon light boards that they put in. They were pretty cool. They had athletes to meet under the south end bleachers and you could go sit in the seats in the south end zone. Bradley didn't want to do anything except go sit in the seats. It was a really pretty evening. We tried out a couple of different places and when he had found a spot he liked he turned to me and said "when is the team coming out...when is it going to start" He was pretty disappointed when I said there wasn't a game that night. We also got to go in and see the locker room. I also went visiting teaching sometime in the afternoon.
Wednesday was Lauren's first day of Kindergarten. Alan took her into her class and she just went right in. She sounds like she is loving it. The first day she got to do the ABC dance. Just tonight she showed us all how it went and as Greg put it everything is better with jazz hands. She tells us way more about what she did that day and who is in her class than Jared does. It is fun to see her get so excited about it. We walked down to pick Lauren up and then back home. We had to go get Alan so he could renew his driver's licence. He just had a small window when he was able to go (between people coming in to do his user study). He still had the car when it was time to pick up Jared. We walked down again..well Lauren rode her bike and I rolled Jared's bike down for him. That way they could both ride home. When we got back Alan was here, so we dropped him off on campus. We came home and played for a bit. When Alan got home we decided to go to seven peaks. It was one of the last days that it was going to be open. We saw several friends there and had a good time.
Thursday we walked to pick Lauren up from school and then over to campus. They were having a hot dog barbecue and popsicles. We saw Greg and took some food to Alan and had a good time. Lauren was pretty tired and complained so much she got a shoulder ride home. I had the carrier for Connor, but he was sleeping so well I didn't want to move him. We got home just in time to pick Jared up. Thursday night was the computer science opening social...all the pizza you can eat. It started at 5 and Lauren had a soccer game at 5:30, so we dropped the boys off (I kept Connor) with Alan who met us there (Kiwanis Park) and I took Lauren to her soccer game. It started to pour right when her game was supposed to start. It took them a minute but they kept playing. Connor and I got pretty wet. Connor looked like he had just gotten out of the bath tub even through I tried to protect him. We were pretty much dried off by the time the game was over....one of the good things about dry dry Utah. We got back to the party just in time to pick up the other guys...they had saved some pizza for us. Alan and I watched the BYU game, but made the other guys go to bed part way through.
Friday was Alan's birthday. Bradley, Connor and I made lemon bars to take to Alan and his lab for his birthday. We picked up Lauren and then walked the lemon bars down to him. Then over to pick up Jared. Sometime in there we lost Connor's hat. Jared has been wanting to walk around campus all week, so he was pretty excited at the chance to trace our steps back and see if we could find the hat. All week there has been a little tent canopy thing set up outside the library with a game to play and if you win you get a Frisbee or water bottle. Lauren is pretty much on a first name basis with the girl who runs it. She collected water bottles all week. (I think we have 4 total and 3 Frisbee) Jared was glad to get a chance to do it too...and Friday was the only day that Bradley wanted to try it. They have also opened the new ramp by the bell tower. I used it every day this week (except wed since I didn't walk to campus that day) It is really nice and I like it!!! Another funny thing we saw were cookies that someone had tried to bake on top of some lights close to the new dorm buildings...so looked more done than others...and on some of the lights the cookies were gone. We did find Connor's hat...in the bush next to our house. It was a fun walk anyway... Alan had decided that since he has been so busy he just wanted to have a big dinner and cake today. We did have a few presents for him to open. I think he had a pretty good day.
Saturday Alan had to go into work again. It was kind of a long day since we didn't have much going on. We did make a trip to winco and we were able to get some apple boxes from Macey's. Our neighbors were also getting rid of a huge lazyboy box. It is now in our place...and they are having tons of fun with it. We watched Little Rascals last night too.
Today we played in boxes before church. Church was good. I just played piano and I think Alan's class went well. After church Jeff, Elizabeth, and Greg came over and Alan made pizza. We also had cake. Alan just wanted pound cake with strawberries (I also pulled out some raspberries) and whipped cream, but we sang to him and made him blow out all 32 candles. It was another great day! I'm looking forward to a holiday tomorrow. It would have been the perfect weekend to go somewhere and do something fun since it was his birthday and a long weekend, but Alan has to work...and I would rather be done.
I'm not sure if I wrote this or not yet. When ever Bradley see a B he says "a B for Bradley" I love it. It is the only time that he will say his name and it comes out so cute...more like bwalley. A few weeks ago at church while looking at the clock he said look a 2 for me and a B for Bradley....I think he must have been seeing the 8. Well one day last week when we were walking to pick Lauren up, Brad said "look an A for Ashley...our Ashley...mom an A for our Ashley" in his cute little voice. Have a wonderful orange-pineapple week!!!
