Week in review part 2

Tuesday my parents and I went to BYU to check out the new Hinckley building (it's gorgeous if you haven't seen it you should go check it out!) and see what else was new on campus since last time they came.  I have to admit that I'm not the best tour guide anymore since I haven't been a student there for awhile now, but I could answer some of their questions at least.  Of course we had to get some ice cream at the creamery while we were at it too.  I LOVE the creamery! 

Wednesday my Dad realized he needed to start working on his project or he wouldn't be able to finish it.  He always wants a project whenever he comes to our house to visit.  I always tell him not to worry about it, but he insists.  More about his project later...So, while Dad planned Mom, Mike and I headed to Orem to check out Funfinity and go to the Distribution Center.  I have to say that Funfinity is a really FUN store with lots of cool fun toys.  My mom bought my kids flying monkeys and Liam got a singing puzzle.  They have puppets and all sorts of other fun games, lots of wooden and tin toys.  It was fun to poke around in there and the service was fantastic.  They were willing to help us without being too pushy.  It was great.  After we finished there and the Distribution center we headed to Costco to find my Mom a new camera since hers was old and didn't work too well anymore.  We found everything we were looking for and then some there. 

Thursday was spent working on the project with my Dad.  He had his plans all worked out, we cut some of the wood he needed and then he realized that it wouldn't work like he wanted it to so he went back to the drawing board and then we had to go cut more pieces for his new design (Thanks Natalie and Rory for use of your workshop!)  Mom went over to watch Em's dress rehearsal for her 4-H play and then she took the kids to pick out a late B-day present.  When we got home Dad had his prototype all made up and had tested it out and it worked so we could make the rest of them. 

Friday Dad and I spent the morning  cutting all the wood and then assembling my new rolling can racks for my storage room.  He didn't think we'd get more than a couple rows finished, but we worked together and got all of the ones we cut wood for put together and installed (about half the shelf worth) so now I am using the space on this shelf much more efficiently.  Plus now I know how to build them myself so hopefully eventually I will get the rest of the shelf outfitted with these awesome rolling FIFO racks.    Thanks Dad!  You're awesome!  Once we finished this they packed up and headed to my brother's house for the night and then headed home Saturday.  It was a great visit and we can't wait to see them again soon.  Having them here really makes me wish they lived closer to us so we could see them more often.   Before they left I took  a few more pictures and I was bummed that Em wasn't home to be in them too.  I love their goofiness Can you believe that's my BABY brother?
