Wednesday Aaron took off work and helped Kelly pack up his apartment and move. Which meant the boys and I were stranded at home without the van. The boys played and I worked on one of my many projects, which I will post about later if it ever gets finished. Wednesday night was a pizza party at Uncle Richard and Aunt Debby's house. It was great. Lincoln was thrilled to be considered a "big kid" and allowed to eat his pizza on a blanket in the living room while watching a movie with his older cousins.
Thursday everyone was kind of doing their own thing. Sydni and I took our boys and Aneya (Lisa's youngest) to the McDonald's Play place for lunch. I think everyone had a good time. Thursday night was Kelly's graduation celebration BBQ at Aunt Karen's. We had Boca burgers, tasty pasta salad, fruits and veggies and a Costco chocolate cake for dessert! Lincoln played really well downstairs with the other kids and required very little supervision. Ivan was content to sit in the high chair and eat, so all in all it was a really relaxing evening for Aaron and I.
Friday morning was Kelly's and my step-brother Bryan's Commencement ceremony at 8:00am in the bloody morning. They wanted everyone in their seats by 7:15. We'd planned on getting up early and taking the kids to go see them, but Ivan was up most of the night, so I decided to stay home with the kids while Aaron went. Afterwards, Bryan, his wife Emily, and their daughter Penny (who were all here for the week from San Diego), my mom and Kerry, all came over for brunch at our house. Mom and Kerry made us delicious french toast and bacon and sausage. Yum.

When Mom and Kerry left to go back to Hooper, they took our kids with them! That way we didn't have to worry about finding a babysitter for Kelly's wedding dinner and the temple ceremony in the morning. Thanks Mom and Kerry, that made things really easy for us, plus the boys love going to see "Damma and Papa".
Friday night was Kelly's wedding dinner at Goodwood BBQ in Draper. We road up with Stacey and Rob. The food was excellent, as always. We sat by Esther's sister Annie and her husband (whose name is escaping me, sorry!). They were very talkative and interesting people, so we had a good time.
Since we were kidless, we went back to the townhouse and threw a party! After all the kids were in bed, the adults played Loaded Questions, and drank Margaritas and Strawberry Daiquiris (non-alcoholic of course.) We all had fun laughing at each others responses and just being together. I think this was probably the funnest night of the whole week for me.
