Go Cougs!

It has been a busy week. I stayed home for much of it, but it was still somehow busy. The highlight of my week was when my new vacuum arrived on Thursday afternoon. I was desperate to try it out, so I turned on a movie for the kids and assembled it myself. Go me! Then I enlisted Weston's "help" to tidy the house and spent the next 20 minutes savoring the sounds of little crumb particles being sucked up by a powerful beast. Needless to say I LOVE my new toy. :) It is much quieter, much more powerful, significantly heavier, and way more awesome than my old vacuum. In case you are interested it is the Eureka Boss Smartvac. Seriously my carpets looked A-mazing after the maiden voyage of this bad boy.
On Friday the boys and I went to Target where I ONLY bought 2 birthday toys for Davin. I was very proud of myself for making it out of the store without spending money on anything else. Again, go me. Yesterday afternoon we went and picked up Ian at work and drove down to Provo for a fun night out at the BYU. I dressed both the kids in their BYU outfits and had to take a picture before their hair got all messed up and their outfits peed on. My cute future Cougs.
We dropped of Davin at my Aunt Pam's house for the evening, but took Weston along for the night. He was very patient as we dropped off our wedding rings to be cleaned at the jeweler where we bought them. Then we had dinner at our favorite place, Burger Supreme. Yummy stuff.
After going back to the jewelers to pick up our rings we went to the Marriott Center to watch the women's gymnastic meet against Utah. Weston had no idea what gymnastics even was, but I explained it was girls doing flips. He was suitably impressed, I think. One of our main goals in taking Weston to the gymnastics meet was to get some up close and personal time with Cosmo (since gymnastics is a significantly less crowded event than the sold out basketball game we took Weston to last time). Cosmo mostly hung around low in the stands, so Ian took Weston down to see him. It was by far the best part of Weston's week. He told me all about how he gave Cosmo a double high five and said HI and that Dad took a picture. I watched the whole thing from our higher up spot in the stands. Weston loved it.
Weston's stamina kind of ran out at that point, so we only lasted another 15 minutes or so after seeing Cosmo, but that's ok. We saw most of the meet.
I had told Weston that we would probably go get a fun treat after the meet, so that gave him his second wind. We went to the Creamery, but after taking one glance at the line that wound and then went out the door we decided to see if one of our other treat haunts was still in business. Success! Smart Cookie was still there and still as delicious as ever. Bonus they now sold multiple flavors of ice cream, so Weston got his green (mint chip) ice cream cone and Ian and I got their fabulous ice cream cookie sandwich. It really was lots of fun to be out and about with just Weston. He was in need of some parental attention after a few days of me holding Dav all day long. We went back to Aunt Pam's to pick up Davin and ended up visiting for a little bit while Weston played with toys. What a trooper . . . Weston lasted until 10pm! It was kind of a late night, but we had a blast. Can't wait for our jaunt to Provo next month for a baseball game!
