Quaddin

Some pictures from our recent day of quadding:

the kiddos, enjoying the view

There's a gravel pit that we like to go play around in. I took a video of my handsome stunt-man in action:

Um...... we have fun together :)

Children's Festival and Camping at Moyie

Okay this post is a little late, but LAST weekend we went to Cranbrook for the Kootenay Children's Festival. We went to it last year and it was awesome. It has a tons of stuff for kids to do and the best part is it's free! And you all know how that appeals to my "thrifty" side :)

Went went to this Schnitzl Haus restaurant with our friends after the Children's Festival. I made Justice and Carter pose for a picture, say "wiener schnitzl"!
We camped at Moyie Lake, first camping trip of the season and it was so much fun. I love camping with our little family.
Pretty lake, hey? It was cold though, Jared went for a swim to test it out, haha :)

Carts

This past year Carter's come out of his shell quite a bit. He's becoming a little social butterfly in fact. Last weekend we went to a rodeo and I took this picture of Carter and his friend Justice. I just thought it was so cute how they're both all decked out in their cowboy/cowgirl gear, standing right by the fence to the arena, because front row seats just aren't close enough to the action :)

At Carter's school, they have school spirit days and last month was "Twin Day". Him and his friend Nolan dressed alike, right down to the matching mohawks.

I also had to take a picture of this note I found in his backpack. He wrote it for a friend at school, and stuck it in there to remember to give it to his friend the next day. On the opposite side he drew a picture of them together.

So. Stinkin. Cute.

Girls Weekend

This past weekend I went to Calgary and met my mom and 2 sisters for a fun weekend away. We played games, looked at old photo albums, shopped till we dropped, saw a movie, ate at restaurants, and stayed up till all hours of the night giggling.

On Friday night we stayed at my Aunt's house, along with 20-something of our female Mendenhall relatives. The next day we attended Time Out for Women together and listened to some great speakers with awesome messages.

It was a perfect weekend and I had so much fun being around the women I love.

The even better part? Coming home to my 3 favorite people and being spoiled on Mother's Day. Life is pretty dang perfect.

Tis the Season

As if it's not already cute enough watching these little people try to play sports, but then they add the matching uniforms. Aahhh so darling, I can hardly stand it!
