Lots of Love

David spent a lot of this week either going over to his friend Paxton's house or having Paxton come over to our house after school.  It's been strange not staying to play on the playground after school, but he's having fun with his friend and Paxton really appreciates being able to play with a friend while he's in a cast.  


Wednesday, was Valentine's Day.  We did heart shaped biscuits for breakfast and I got chocolates for everyone.  Dan got me a sweet card and flowers.  David had a "friendship party" at school that parents could come to, so Dan and I both went for a bit of it, though neither of us could stay long, and we weren't there at the same time.  lol




It was fun to visit, even just for a little bit.  And he was super sweet.  It was funny on the walk to school he spent most of it singing the "Peaches" song from the Mario Brothers Movie - but instead of singing about Peaches, he sang "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy  I LOVE YOU!"  and wanted me to sing it using David.  

Dan and I are still swimming a couple times a week.  We would have gone Thursday, but instead, we went over to play Dominion with some friends.  We had a good time together!  

Friday I took and extended shift guarding to help with the first day of the State Championships.  While I stayed late, David went home on the bus with his friend Anna to hang out with her while I guarded.  He had a great time, and when I got off, I met them at the pool so David could swim for a while before heading home.  He had tons of fun and they said he was a great kid and he could come over again anytime.  When I told him that he said "anytime???"  and then I clairified that what they meant was any time it would work for both our families, and he said "oh..."  LOL  

Friday, we went out on a date to see a friend from church in a play.  It was called "Over the River and Through the Woods."  The play was amazing and our friend did an amazing job - as did all the actors.  It was a small cast and a small venue, but the quality was just spectacular.  Dan and I had a wonderful time and also ran into the bishop and his wife there.  After we went out for dinner and had some really yummy Chineese food.  It was a great night!  

Saturday we had a busy day.  Anna was lifeguarding in the morning for the State Championship swim meets.  Dan and Aaron and I went to Parkrose to play water polo.  We had a really fun time, but by the time I was done, my shoulder was bothering me.  

David went over to his friend Andrew's house for a little birthday party.  He had a blast, and came home with lots of balloons and candy.  Aaron spent some time working for Brother Hanks and the rest of us got the house and food ready for the Encore Social.  At 5, kids started arriving to eat and play games.  I think it went well and they seemed to have fun.  They were all super sweet kids!  

After, Anna and Evelyn and I went to Open Polo.  It was a lot of fun with a good turn out, but by the end, my shoulder was REALLY bothering me.  Enough that I put some ice on it.  I'm really not sure why it's hurting, but it's getting annoying.. :)  

Today was great!  Aaron spoke in sacrament meeting and did a great job.  I played the organ and did a mostly ok job.  I also did the musical number and that went well.  Then we had primary and sunday school and of course choir after.  Anna had a YCL meeting and then we got together with Mike to practice for the concert next week.  

In the evening, Sandi and James came over to play games and we had fun together.  We played the new game James got us called Rattus.  Aaron crushed us.  :)  Then we played 7 wonders and they made the mistake of letting me get all the green cards... : )
