Brandon's last assignment for school...

Field Trip to City Center

Ethan and his class went on a field trip today to the city center in Orem.  They walked to the library and the police station.  They toured both places, ate lunch, and had story time at the library.  On the way home, they walked by our house.  I was home and heard the door bell ring.  I was surprised to open the door and see Ethan and his class there.  It was a great surprise!

Ward Council

This morning I had to go to ward council because our Primary president was out of town.  The meeting was from 7:30 - 8:30.  Church starts at 9, so I was a little worried about how I would get the kids ready for church.  I talked to them last night about helping each other get ready.  We got all of their clothes out, so it would be easy for them.  I was so proud of them.  I got home and Brandon was already gone.  He has to be at church at 8:30 to help set up chairs.  All of the other kids were all ready to go!  They did a really good job!

Summer Job

Brandon got a job for the summer.  He is volunteering at the Scera movie theater.  They play movies every week during the summer, eleven weeks.  They sell tickets pretty cheap, I think they are $7 per person to see all eleven movies.  It is something fun to do in the summer, the kids like going.  Brandon is going to work on Monday mornings.  He will work from 9-1, I think.  Today he went in for some training.  He had a good time and he is excited to get started.  He starts June 3rd.  One perk of him working there, is that we get a free family pass to go to all of the movies.  The kids are excited!

Read-a-Thon

Tonight the kids decided that they wanted to have a read-a-thon.  Brandon had to finish up some reading for school on Monday.  He has been working on it all week.  I think at the beginning of the week he still needed to read seven books.  After reading this week, and then tonight, he just has two more to go!  Tonight we all read for about three hours.  Alex didn't last that long, but the rest of us did.  We all rode our bikes to the library after dinner and then just read.  Here is a picture of the kids reading at the library...
