Justin's Birthday Party

We celebrated Justin's Birthday on Sunday with the Family.... We had a really nice time, Sonia and Jurnee came down for the afternoon to visit, so fun to finally meet Jurnee, she is so sweet and very happy. It was kind of sad not to have everyone here but it was so great to see Sonia even though she was here for such a short time, some times quick trips are what we have to settle for;) We had a very nice visit and the kids/boys had a lot of fun... I think the boys had more fun than the kids!!!! But all and all it was a very fun day

Brad's first Youth Day

Saturday was a beautiful day, (usally it rains every year!) Bradley did really well and had a ton of fun.
Saturday was Justin's Birthday and so after youth day, Brad went to a friend's house and Justin and I went
to lethbridge for supper to the Keg, it is in the new building now, it was very, very good!!!!

Choir Provincials Edmonton

Bradley's Children's Elementary Choir qualified for Provincials in Edmonton. They have been recommended for the last few year, but have never gone because of the cost and distance to travel in one day..... This year the director decided we would go.... We had to be on the bus by 5:45 am and off we went, the kids were so good, it was a very fun wonderful group of kids (80) ;) we arrived in Edmonton and stopped at a church to put them in their gowns and the church was in NE Edmonton, it was a beautiful church with wonderful sound.... There was 11 choirs competing and WE WON!!!!!! The kids did so well we were so proud of them... On the way home we stopped at a Mall Food Court and let them eat, we were back on the bus and headed for home at 6:30. We arrived in Cardston at 12:30 am with a police escort and all of the parents lined up down Main street with horns honking and lights flashing What a heros welcome.... Here come the champions!!!!! That made them feel so special....

Travis, Kathy and Riley came to the church to watch Bradley... To sit in a hot church for over 3 hours, pay 5 bucks each to listen and pay parking, it was so great of them to come. Since none of us had met Riley yet, it was extra Special.... She is still so small, but o so cute, she is now just barely 6 pounds, and is almost 2 months old, I wish we could have seen her at 3 pound 9 ozs. (maybe that probably wasn't very cool, but man she must have been a little peanut!) We are so glad she is doing so good and we were so glad to finally meet her in person;)

May Long Weekend

We decided to make May Long Weekend a Camping Tradition (starting last year) when the weather was so wonderful, we wore shorts and went swimming...... Yeah THIS YEAR IT RAINED ALL WEEK END!!!!!! We left friday night at about 9PM Justin had to work late and so I packed us up#### We got to Allison Creek (Crowsnest Pass) and it was pretty socked in and was threatning rain, we sat by the campfire for a while and froze, then went to bed and then came the rain..... it rained most of the night and morning by afternoon the sun came out enought to dry everything enough so the big boys got to go biking,( in the snow.... remember we were in the mountains so there was still tons of snow above us, they had fun and the little boys had fun riding in the MUD..........(weeeeeeeee.......) By Supper it was raining by bedtime it was threatning snow.... Sunday was the same some rain some sun some snow..... Sunday night it decided to just keep raining and so in the rain wet as ever we came home..... We had tons of fun, Bradley especially (you know little boys, the more mud the better;)) I was pretty wet and cold by the time we got home I was happy for a nice hot shower, but memories are made of mud for the may long weekend lots of laughs and puddles.....

Where do I begin????

Well just a quick post to tell you we are all still kickin'!!! Bradley has been in the Cardston Community Theater Spring Production of "Oliver" he was Charley Bates "Pickpocket" and he also played an "Orphan", it was very good, Bradley had tons of fun, but it pretty much wore me right out, 3 weeks of run run run!!! We had to be at the theater before 5 and we didn't get home until after 10 everynight.... To top it all off, Bradley gets the stomach flu for 4 of the days, we each were at an entrance/exit of the stage with a bucket and flashlight just in case!!!!! But the "show must go on" and he pulled it off!!!! He was very cute, even for a PUKER!!! But all went well, and Ball started for Wyatt & Brad on Monday (MON/WED) we have to travel this year quite a bit, (Raymond, Magrath, Lethbridge) boys love it, mom and dad are tired;) and Bradley is doing summer theater this year "Seussical, the Musical" it is based on Dr. Seuss books, he is the only child in the cast, rehersals start May 8 (3-4 nights a week eeks!!!!) and it has to be ready by July 1 !!!!!! HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!! (What we do for our kids, because we love em') it will be a great opportunity, he will be one of the main characters, "jo-jo" a little "who" ........ I will write more about it later....... but all is well and running!!!!!!
