"Workin' out!"
After her workout, Kate and I walked around the block with Max in the stroller. Then Max and I walked around the neighborhood while Ali rode her bike along side.
Mid morning the whole family headed over to the bowling alley. Kaitlyn and Ali are amazing bowlers! Nathan and Megan tag teamed bowling and chasing Max around the game arcade. Nathan came in first, Megan second; Ali beat me, and I beat Kaitlyn :).
We hurried home from bowling to get ready for the baptism of Ali's friend, Susan May. Kaitlyn was thrilled because Megan let her wear one of her new preschool dresses. Megan stayed home while Max took a nap and she typed up a fabulous detailed schedule and contact list for me to refer to while they're gone.
I'm beginning to realize that one of my biggest challenges when Nathan and Megan are gone will be saying "No" to these charmers. Case in point: Max is perfecting his persuasion skills with "Hi Gapa. Paco!" (Translation: Hi Grandma. Popsicle!) Who could resist this face?! Max hasn't quite grasped "Please," but he knows all about "Thank you," and says it often.
Nathan took the kids to Independence Park while I fixed dinner and Megan ran errands. We enjoyed a rousing game of Boggle while waiting for Megan to return. Ali and I beat Nathan and Kaitlyn on the final round. For the record, I couldn't have done it without Ali--her score was one point higher than mine! I was amazed that Kaitlyn found several two letter words as well. Objectively speaking, all our grandchildren are genuises.
This evening we watched the BYU game with Nathan's and Megan's backdoor neighbors, Amy and Todd Moore. Ali and Kaitlyn were allowed to stay up until the end of the first half. This was my first experience with DVR and I loved that we could fast forward through all the commercials...until 15 seconds before the winning touchdown, that is, when the recording timer ran out and Nathan had to scramble to get back to the game...just after the touchdown. So we had to wait until the highlights after the game to see it. But it was a great game and fun to watch with Nathan and Megan who are so thoroughly into it at the top of their lungs. Go Cougars!

Another great post!!! It's great having you here to capture all the fun things that the kids do and say! We love having you here!
And...Go Cougs!
I second that. Great post. Funny kid sayings. Go Cougars!
Good work on Boggle Ali and Kait! And we were on the phone with Dad throughout the game...Ty's first BYU football game was a good one, although I think Bryan's loud yelling was a bit disconcerting to him at times...anyways a great win for the Cougars! YAY!
You are really getting a hang of this blogging stuff. You have captured those cute kids almost as well as if the rest of us were there ourselves.
