For Daddy

Weird

2 days ago, I was digging through a box trying to find cleats and shin pads for our first soccer practice in +24 degree weather.


Today, I found myself digging through a (freshly-packed) box looking for my winter boots so I could go outside and take these pictures:






In the words of my sweet little 2-year-old, "What the heck is going on!?!"

First ride of the year







Springtime

The infamous tower

I stole these pictures from my sis-in-law Leah. She actually remembered to take one of the finished 14 foot Eiffel Tower (with my niece Riley in front). Impressive, oui?

Leah also got a shot of the entire Whidden side of the family. I think the only person missing is little Dryden. Not sure where he was.


Wedded Bliss

This past weekend was Jared's brother's wedding in Cardston/Lethbridge. We headed out for the weekend, and it was so fun being with all the Whiddens and getting to know the bride's family as well.

There was lots going on. Friday night was the Easter Party, with an egg hunt. The kids got way too much candy...



Even the big kids...

Saturday morning was the wedding - Ashton looked beautiful. What a great couple, hey?



All the Whidden grandkids had matching outfits. Here's the girls in their dresses:

Alivia, Riley, Kaysa, Hayley, and Avery

And the studly little boys:

Dryden, Deegan, Ryker, Bauer, Kessler, Carter, Cooper, and Easton



The family dinner was that afternoon. Auntie Allie did an awesome job entertaining all the kids while we waited.




The reception was that evening and it was decorated so beautifully. It was a "Paris" theme and they even had a crazy huge (to the roof) Eiffel Tower, lit up with white lights. No picture -oops.

I don't think my nephew Easton stopped beating up on his dad the whole weekend. What a goofball :)

Kitty



I love how every emotion she portrays consists of the exact same facial expression. The eyebrows shoot straight to the roof. Every time.

Lost

For the past week, I have been dying to come on here and post all the pictures from off my camera. We have had a busy week with both sets of parents visiting, Carter starting his new swimming lessons, warm weather which marks the start of quadding season, and home reno projects. All of these pictures I would LOVE to share with you, but can't. Why? Because I can't find my camera cord to transfer all the pictures onto the computer. It's lost.

That's not the only thing that's lost.

For my birthday, Jared got me a lululemon hoodie that I only got to wear about 6 times before I couldn't find it anymore. I am still baffled.

Remember our car accident last month? Not only have we "lost" our Explorer and the snomobile trailer, but in all the accident kerfuffle, I cannot find my wedding rings. They somehow got lost in the whole smashed up vehicle/two different hotel rooms/two different rental cars/transfering-all-our stuff-many-times ordeal. I have searched high and low and can't find them anywhere. Just thinking about it makes me so sad, I could just cry.

I'm not usually the type to lose things. Usually I know where everything is, so this is driving me crazy! I have scoured my house from top to bottom to find all these things. I have a wicked clean house, but still can't find anything.

What do I have left to lose? Ok I know what you're all thinking: my mind. Very funny.
