Tuesday morning we played duck duck goose for a round right after prayer. Alan was it and every time around he would touch my tummy. It only took a couple passes for these guys to figure out we are going to have a baby!!! Lauren was really excited and started jumping up and down saying "I hope it is a sister. I'm so excited I have to tell someone!" The boys are excited.too. Lauren has been telling everyone she sees. We went to the library and did the craft and went to story time. Last week the craft was a magnetic ant farm. This week it was a pumpkin/carrot hat. They worked on cleaning up their room a bit more and we played outside.
Wednesday they were super motivated to finish cleaning up their room so we could go to seven peaks. I put crock pot lasagna in before we went. Since it was the first time going his season there were some things to take care of once we got there and we went at a super busy time. By the time we got our sun screen on and in the water we had been there almost an hour. We had a fun time swimming for a couple of hours. By that time Connor and Bradley were freezing and the other two were hungry. We went to both kid areas the wave pool lazy river back to the kid areas and one last trip to the wave pool. I changed Connor out of his suit before we left and he was pretty much out by the time I had his diaper on. We made bread sticks at home and ate our lasagna which turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe Ashley! That night we went to the marriage class again. It was our last time and we got the gift card. Grandma and Grandpa Atherton stopped by later in evening.
Thursday was just a normal day. We played outside a lot! We went to the potluck out in the quad for dinner. Alan stayed late at work. He is trying to get his paper done.
Friday we played outside more. Jeff and Brett both stopped by to say hi. In the evening we went to a flag retirement ceremony. It is part of the freedom festival and was held in the parking lot at Macey's. It didn't start until 8, so Alan went with us. Then came home and helped get kids to bed and went back to work. It was a little cooler day and we were getting chilly by the end.
Saturday Alan stayed home all day...which was nice. We had a slow morning and went to Winco. Then we went out to Saratoga Springs and had a picnic with friends from quad 2. There were a few different people there this time that weren't there last time, but in general there weren't as many people. It was still super fun to see everyone. We went to the fireworks for Orem's Summer fest on the way home. We saw Jeff and Elizabeth and Brett by their car just as we were getting there. The parade had just gotten over. We walked around a little bit and waited in line for the porta potty then back over to the church to watch the fireworks. We were still plenty close. None of the kids liked the sound and Jared even went and watched from the car. It was only like 20 feet away and the back windows were open so I don't know if it really helped much, but he said it did.
What we took to the picnic. I was trying to use up some leftovers, but all the frosting slid off the cake on the way there.
Sunday was Father's Day. Happy Father's Day! Alan got to sleep in. We had smoothie and eggs and toast for breakfast. We played mystery dad for singing time. Jared had a talk in primary that we forgot about, but he did ok. We grilled some pork for dinner and ate it with some grilled veggies and rice and a sweet and sour sauce. We tried grilling the veggies in a little foil tray. Some got a little burned, but I liked them. We skyped with Grandpa and Grandma Schachterle and called Grandpa Atherton. I think Alan had a good day and a nice break. I guess I was just too wiped out from the previous couple of weeks and I didn't take many pictures.
