Wednesday in Provo - Sierra's Graduation from UVU (add photos)

 Today is a great day - want to know why - because it starts with me getting to Babysit Cayson in the morning.  Cayson and I played and had so much fun at the apartment.  We also cleaned up the boys bedroom, making room for some of Robert's stuff and organizing his toys.  We cleaned up the kitchen as well.  Then we went for a walk up to Target (because I needed more cleaning supplies).  On our way there we stopped at Chick-fil-A to get Cayson some Chicken Nuggets to munch on while we shopped.  HE liked that.  At Target I found a Mickey Mouse backpack that was perfect for Cayson.  I ended up buying too much - I forgot all I had was the stroller, but somehow I made it work.  I got fruit, and fruit drinks for Mark and I, cleaning stuff for Jessica, and always socks and snacks for Cayson.  

On the way back to the apartment we went to the park to play!  Oh my goodness.  Cayson has grown up so much since the last time I had been to Provo.  Now he can get on the slides and play equipment all by himself and really enjoys it.  We had so much fun running, sliding, swinging and singing.  I took a lot of photos and a video of us singing together. 

While on our way back to the apartment, Jessica called.  She was getting off work, but realized Tate dropped her off so she didn't have a car.  I hurried home, loaded the car seat, loaded Cayson and drove over to get her.  She wasn't feeling very well so I offered to get her lunch.  We stopped at Zuppa's and got lunch to go.  I ate with her since I really hadn't had much time with her, but I was also supposed to be shopping with Sierra - oops - I double booked myself again.  

I leave Jessica's and go pick up Sierra to go shopping.  She is unhappy with me because I am late.  I feel terrible, but hopefully the shopping experience will make up for it.  We went to five stores / 2 malls (Ross, JC Penneys, Dillards, MikaRose, and one more) - but still didn't find anything she liked or that was in her size - again.  We ended up getting Cinnabun and calling it a day.  She had to get back to her apartment to get ready for the graduation ceremony.

In the mean time, without Sierra knowing, I have been in communication with Devon and Sierra's mom to find out what we are doing to celebrate - nobody really had any plans so I offered to host a party.  Sierra's mom said we could have the party at her house.  After dropping off Sierra, I ran to the party store, bought plates, cups, tablecloth, decorations and balloons!  Then I raced back to get Mark.  Then we raced over to pick up Cayson and Jessica.  

Mark, I and Jessica and Cayson met Tate and Robert at IHOP and before heading over to the graduation ceremony.  Unfortunately, the UVU ceremony didn't happen as it was explained - which meant we missed seeing Sierra Graduate.  We missed it by minutes - literally because they directed us to the wrong parking lot (lot 4, not lot 14) we missed it.  Luckily, Jenn (Sierra's mom) video recorded it).  We all laughed about it and took photos with Sierra.  I'm glad I stopped to get balloons first.  The balloons were a big hit.

Sierra and her family went to take more photos of Sierra - while Mark and I ran to pick up the ice cream cake and pizza.  We met back at Sierra's parent's (Eric and Jen) house at 6:45 to enjoy festivities, food and conversation. 

It was a great night.  The house looked great after I decorated and everyone helped!  It was so fun to celebrate this special occasion with her.
