Weekend Memories

This is a LONG post, but I wanted to make sure I remembered some of the random details about this past weekend!

**Shannon and Ethan forgot their temple recommends and had to go back to get them.
**Julia forgot hers as well and had to make some phone calls.
**Lu lu forgot her unmentionables…lol – haven’t we all done that?!
**I had to help entertain (just for a couple hours) two of Bryan’s brothers…boys are much different and much louder than girls!
**Lots of eating out – Café Rio, Goodwood BBQ, Coney’s, Costco Pizza, and creamery ice cream! Yum-o!!!
**Costco brand lasagna is a fabulous idea for Sunday dinner…pop it in the oven frozen, make up some garlic bread and viola – dinner!
**We were late to our celebratory luncheon, thanks to Subway. Our order was 40 minutes late and not quite right. I do have to admit I sent my parents on a wild goose chase – I told them there were only third sandwiches when there were supposed to be 45…tell me this, when did 15 x 3 equal 30?! Pregnancy brain! But still, it was the wrong bread, wrong meat and was late!
**Provo Bakery makes a fantastic cake! Chocolate with Bavarian cream filling and buttercream icing – yummy!!!
**Julia was called “Grandma” at the bakery by a nice old man who said Andrew looked a little like his mommy and a little like his grandma…lol. She was grandma Lu for the rest of the weekend.
**Shannon, Julia and Dad had a grand time throwing “pods” from the trees at each other outside my apartment…until there really was a dead worm in one of them that REALLY grossed dad out – that was funny!

**Poor Aly was babysitting her siblings at my apartment while we were all at the temple and she locked them outside on accident with the keys to the apartment on the table! Good thing their car was unlocked…it was pretty chilly outside. I felt so bad!

**I am so sad that I didn’t get any really good pictures of Andrew in his white outfit on Sunday…he just really wanted to play and did not want to take pictures – we will get some eventually.
**Grammy and Poppie were such good grandparents and took Andrew out to play at the park behind our apartment…it is uncharted territory for Andrew because it has sand! He LOVED it – and now he wants to play there all the time. I am not so much of a sand fan – I prefer the park up the hill with the rubber chip things – less messy and seems less dirty even though I know its not. But hey – that is what grandparents are for, right?
**Shannon can’t say no to Andrew. He didn’t have his shoes on yet, but wanted to go outside. He started crying and Shannon gave right in and let him go out…I still made him come in and get his shoes on…Shanny is quite the softy with Andrew!
**It meant a lot to me when we said good bye and my mom kissed my tummy and said good bye to Carter too.
**We made Grandma Melba’s cinnamon rolls bright and early…at 6:00 am on Friday morning before Bry’s graduation so that his family could have some! There was even enough left over for my family to have some as well. I made the cream cheese icing (against Bryan’s will) and they still seemed to be a hit!
**Andrew adores his cousins! He had so much fun playing with Aly, Cody, Justin, and Rylee. It was so cute to go back in his room and seeing Rylee playing with some toys, Justin with other toys and Andrew just watching them play – he thinks they are just so much fun! We are going to miss them when we move so far away…

**I am so grateful that the trees decided to bloom early last week so we had beautiful scenery and weather for the most part for graduation! There are pink, white, and green blossoms everywhere!

**Greg reminded me of what a beautiful place we live in…when it was time for him to leave he said he didn’t want to leave perfection. It really is gorgeous here with the mountains, weather, etc. We are going to miss it here.
**We are so blessed to have gotten a ton of baby clothes for Carter from Julia, Mom, and Camille. He is going to be SO cute!
**I can totally see myself in Aly – all I can say is I am with her when it comes to bowling – it is not my favorite thing, but I think she will come to tolerate it. It can be fun!
**At Bryan’s graduation Andrew and I were waiting for him to come out afterwards and Andrew thought everyone in a cap and gown was daddy…he didn’t believe me at first that they all weren’t him. He was glad when we finally found Bry!
**Elder Bednar gave a great commencement talk about learning to love learning. I hope I can get a copy of it – I missed most of it walking in the hallway with Andrew.
