On Friday morning, we headed to Calgary bright and early. We pretty much shopped the whole day long - mostly looking at quads and trucks, but we also got a few new clothes and some home improvement stuff. We stayed overnight at a nice hotel downtown (for cheap, too) and visited my sister and her kids on Saturday. It was really fun to see her and I'm sure she enjoyed the adult interaction, as her husband is away at school and she is home with my two cute nephews. I loved seeing them and catching up with my big sis (hi Lisa!).
We drove home late Saturday and wondered where the weekend went. We were seriously so busy the whole time we were there. Two days almost didn't get everything done. We bought a vehicle, but I can't post pictures until we bring it back here next week. We're excited, though.
The trip to Calgary must've taken alot out of the kids, though because church today was... well... a gong show. Hayley just did not want to sit still so she kept crying. And this kid has mastered the crying thing. She knows how to cry really loud. She had had enough of church altogether and kept trying to walk right out of there. Then, Carter had to go to the bathroom, so we sent him off, with his arms folded reverently. Right before he gets out the door he trips, smacks his face on the floor and starts crying. Seriously? Then, the last speaker was finishing up her talk (bearing her testimony) and Carter asks (loudly), "Why is she crying?". I leaned over to Jared and jokingly whispered, "She's crying because you weren't being reverent, Carter". We had a silent, shoulder-shake giggle over that, mostly because it was so unbelieveable what a gong show it was in there today. I found myself wondering if there would be a full moon out tonight with the way things were going.
It doesn't look like things are slowing down any sooner, though. Next weekend, we are going to Fairmont with the Stevensons and the weekend after, we are headed to Edmonton for Gary (Jared's brother) and Allie's wedding. And we have to go back up to Calgary sometime to get the vehicle. Yikes, we are going to be busy. But I am so looking forward to everything that's coming up. We will be seeing you, you, and you all very soon.
And... I'm Spent

wow, you guys are busy. I feel like every sunday is a gong show at church. The 16 month age is brutal.
Are you guys going to be coming to Utah anytime soon?
