So far this week...

I thought I would just do a short post about our week so far along with my craft project.

Sunday soccer has started again. Brad is playing on the old man's league again. It is a lot of fun to go watch him and give Donovan a chance to play outside and be around a lot of new people.

He was surrounded by girls of course, he is such a little stud. I won't lie though, he mostly just wanted to crawl around and try to get into that storm drain behind them. He did like it when the girls would hold him for a little while though. The game started at 8, so it was past his bed time and he usually likes to be held when he is tired, unless he gets excited about something.
Mason and Lenna joined us too, Donovan really liked that. He loves to watch and chase after Mason. Toward the end of the game he was getting a little grumpy and Mason was having a blast running around, so I helped him chase Mason.
Of course Bradley had to throw him around a little. The little girl watching him is Hope. She made sure Donovan didn't get into any trouble and played with Mason. She is a cute little girl.Yesterday I tried on Donovan's cute hat that we bought in Park City for $.99. It doesn't quite fit, but he kept it on long enough for me to get a few pictures, this was the cutest one. We are going to let Mason borrow it for a while.

We hung out with Lenna and Mason for a while yesterday, we went to Hobby Lobby, the library, and after Donovan ate his lunch, we headed over to their place so I could finish my craft. We made a little trip to the park and Donovan would not get out of the swing. I think he stayed in there for about 30 minutes.He loves his Aunt Lenna. She even kept him quiet for a while when we went to Hobby Lobby so I could pick out some paper. Can you tell he didn't get a nap yesterday?
I was really excited when we went to Hobby Lobby, the letters we had bought a while ago were 50% off again, so I got Donovan's name too. I had some other letters for his name, but they were smaller and not quite as cute. Their scrapbook stuff is also 50% so Lenna has convinced me that I need to start. I just need to find the time, Donovan is still demanding, but he is really good when we go to Scott and Lenna's so we may have to do it over there. Here is his name, I think it's cute, it isn't very matchy though, it's all pretty random. I like it though, he doesn't really have a color scheme in his room, so it works.
These are the original letters I bought. If I put soccer stuff all over the wall, it wouldn't matter how tacky it looked, Brad would be happy.I have one more craft to finish, I have to get one more board, they only had one set of 2 when we went yesterday. I'll have to get it when I stock up on scrapbook paper sometime this week.

So far we have spent almost every day with Lenna and Mason, and sometimes Scott. I am surprised they aren't sick of us yet! It is nice to have some family around, so we appreciate that they want to play with us, because we like to play with them!

This post is much longer than I first anticipated, so I apologize, but I have to add one story. So I went running last night, and when I got back to the Res Hall, I saw a truck in the parking lot (the only vehicle besides ours) and saw someone inside. I decided to get the key I put in my shoe out before I got to the door so I could watch the truck. As I walked past, 2 Japanese guys opened the doors, so I stared them down as I walked trying to figure out what exactly it was that they were doing. They were watching me too and as I stared them down they got back in the truck. As soon as I got in the building I heard them drive away. I won't lie, I was a little creeped out. I don't know if they were up to anything, but I am glad that I kept my eye on them. I hate the world we live in today sometimes, now I am scared to go running again by myself. I go in the evenings after Donovan goes to bed and Brad is home, so it is usually dusk when I get back. I will just have to find a running buddy I guess, you can never be too careful.
