Soccer Season is ON!

Monday morning our little friends came for the last time...their mom has finished school for the semester.  We cleaned up around here and just did our normal Monday things. It was super rainy and cold all day.  I guess a good day to have to go back to school on.  Jared did have soccer practice right after school, but it was only 38 (or so) outside.  We all had to come home and warm up.



Tuesday we woke up to snow and I had to scrape the car off to go to school.  Bradley had preschool.  It was his second to last one.  After getting Lauren we went to a birthday party for a little boy in our quad.  He turned 6 and had a super hero party.  It was a lot of fun.  After the party we had to run to Macey's to get soccer treats for Jared and Lauren (since we didn't go to the store the weekend before.)  Then we picked up Jared.  Luckily it had warmed up into the 40s by the time Jared's game started.  Jared had a great soccer game!  He was playing against some kids from his school class which was fun. (2 boys from his class are on his team too)  Wasatch school has 8 or 9 teams of 1st and 2nd graders.  That's a lot of kids playing soccer from Wasatch.



One of the last egg cracking contests!


Wednesday was a nicer day...not much warmer, but sunny.  We went to story time at the library.  Then dropped Jared's lunch off to him.  He had forgotten to take it with him in the morning. (Tuesday he had forgotten to bring his lunch box home and we had to go back special for it.)  This was the first time all year he's forgotten it (or left it).  We hurried home so we could walk back down to pick up Lauren (we didn't want to wait there 20 minutes).  We got to talk to grandma for a couple of minutes too.  After getting Lauren and lunch we went to walmart for a few things we needed.  We walk to pick up Jared too.

These guys crack me up.  I'm not sure why Bradley needed the fabric tied around his head like this, but he did.  I think it looks like he has a tooth ache.  They are playing general conference.

Trapped!  (Better trapped underneath than standing on top...which he also did last week.)


Thursday we went and helped in Lauren's class.  It has been awhile since we've been because of spring break and early releases.  We helped with writing little green books.  Bradley got to make a smushed paint butterfly...it was one of the centers.  He was pretty sad he had to leave it there...even though we assured him Lauren would bring it home when it dried.  Thursday afternoon we went and learned how to make salsa from a lady from Mexico in our ward.  She showed me 5 different sauces/ salsas.  Then we walked down to get Jared.  Lauren had a soccer game that evening.  She scored a couple of goals.

Goal!



Friday I went and helped in Jared's class and Bradley and Connor went to a friend's house.  Connor has been getting up around 9:40 all week.  Since I let him sleep as long as possible I have to hurry and get him ready.  I was back getting him dressed and all ready to go.  When I came out I didn't see or hear Bradley, so we quickly grabbed the rest of the things we needed and ran out the door.  Bradley was standing by our car waiting for us with bread in had.  (Fridays they bring day old bread to the office for people in Wymount.)  Bradley had gone and picked three things from the bread (2 for us and 1 for his friend) and was just waiting at the car.  After helping in Jared's class we hurried home and ate lunch fast.  Then we went back to the school for a PAWS meeting (the parents association at the school).  I hadn't been to a meeting before but they were talking about things at this one that I am really interested in.  Since BYU is closing campus drive the bus stops that were at the wilk have to be moved.  They plan to move the bus stops to 9th east between the comprehensive clinic and Wastach and part of the law building parking lot of the other side of the street.  Closing campus drive will divert about 8,000 cars a day onto an already busy 9th east.  With the added bus stop it just seems like too much...plus it is going to be so close to the school.  They also talked about wanting to rebuild Wasatch.  We were able to pick up Jared right when the meeting was over.  In the afternoon we were finally able to play outside some.  It was a really nice day.  In the evening we went down to the GSS (grad student society) closing social for dinner.  They had J-Dawgs.  They had also hidden little crabs all around Brigham square that the kids had a fun time finding.

Saturday Lauren and Jared both had soccer games.  Both did awesome!  At the end of Lauren's game the other team was down a player.  Lauren switched her jersey so she could play for them (and really just so she could play more)...no one else wanted to.  But right when she got situated the game was over.  I went to a baby shower for a friends from quad 2 for a few minutes between their games.  It was fun to see some some old friends there.  We got a few things done around here and went to Winco.  In the evening we watched The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes.  We all enjoyed it.

On another goal scoring drive!


Jared didn't score this week, but he had several really good shots on goal.


Today was a good day.  They were doing a special visiting teaching conference Relief Society lesson so all the sisters went to relief society.  They had the elders quorum cover primary and nursery.  Alan got to do singing time and Jonah Barnes played piano.  He said it went well.  Our bishop's wife did do sharing time.  I caught a few minutes of the lesson in relief society between entertaining Connor and chasing him down the hall.  This afternoon was cool again, but Alan went out and barbequed for us.

Breakfast!  I love it when they all sit to eat meals...which Connor is getting better at.  He likes to be big just like the other guys.  They are having raisin bran.  Alan said Connor picked out all his raisins before he got the milk on it. :)

 We took a picture before church today.


Tulips and trees have started to bloom here and Bradley is always the first to point out a blooming tree to us.  I love it!  Alan hasn't been feeling well all week, but he is starting to feel better. We had a great week and are looking forward to another good one!
