6:00PM, I took the Elaina, Carter & Maddie to Lindon Skate Night at Classic Skating. This must have been our 5th trip and we had the usual good time. Carter was happy to be on a scooter instead of skates. Elaina did really well on her blades.

Saturday:
10:00AM, Woke up, helped Amber get ready for Elise's baby shower.
11:00AM, Ran away to avoid tons of women playing silly games.
Changed out backup hard drives at work.
Traded the RX350 back for the IS250 at Lexus of Lindon. (factory recall)
Took down the rest of the Christmas lights.
Played basketball at the park with Carter.
Gave the cul-de-sac kids rides on the little four-wheeler.
Got invited to push kids on the swings at the park.
Pushed kids for 1/2 hour.
Played an epic game of MONSTER at the park for nearly 2 hours!
Kids eaten by the monster: Elaina Watson, Maddy Sutton, Lela Wooly, Haley & Ethan McGilvary, Rachel & Kenny Godfrey, Josh Logan, Calvin & Marin Walker and probably some others I am forgetting.
Then we smelled the grill... I surveyed the area until I found out that it was Jim Godfrey so then I had all the kids at the park run to Jim's and ask for hot dogs. Jim wasn't having any of it so Elaina suggested that we make the hot dogs. Well if you know us then you know what happened next:
Impromptu BBQ at the Watsons! We must have started about 6 and ended at almost 10PM. We started with hot dogs on a stick because we didn't have any buns then we started throwing on pineapple. For desert we started roasting marshmallows and then as it got late and everybody started to freeze, the Australians broke out the hot chocolate. We went through a Costco pack of hot dogs and four cans of pineapple before everybody was fed. The kids couldn't get enough of pineapple on a stick, especially little Marin.
In the end we had the Watsons, McGivalrys, Suttons, Halls, Walkers, and whatever the Australians last name is... Eventually. everybody froze and had to go inside for the night but we had a great day!
Sunday:
10:00AM Finally woke up and made it to church by 11:00.
12:00PM Taught (watched movies) the 11 year olds primary class.
2-5:00PM Took a sweet nap while the kids watched church movies because I was wasted!
6:00PM Made dinner for the family then invited the Suttons over for games.
7-9:00PM Played up & down the river while eating home made Skor bars, home made ginger snaps and popcorn. The kids played nicely in the basement.
10-??:00PM Watched a few youtube clips and blogged about a very excellent weekend!!!

Well, you have just named one of the several reasons I continue to POOR a zillion hours into this house because I feel a move to UT will be worth it. Not only does Brent actually have a job offer there, but it would also be nice to have neighbors who A)have kids our near our kids ages B)we know from somewhere other than in passing on Halloween and C)have moms who don't work all day long. And those reasons are only one of the reasons. It sounds like a super week(end)
If your goal is to tick me off and make me jealous at the same time, than it worked.
See you dinner this Sunday!
No, I'm not bragging about our neighborhood. I just have to write down some of these events so next week when I completely forget, I can reminisce about the good times.
Okay, so Dru told me of your blog and how you are way better keeping up than Amber, so here I am! By the way, you suck! J/K This just REALLY REALLY makes me miss Utah, like a TON!!!!!
