So here is the family photo. We took this picutre over the Christmas break between Christmas and New Years. I am not sure if for a while we will have the perfect family portrait.
Other than that life is good here in Saratoga Springs, the big snow storm that hit the other day, I really lucked out. We were coming home from swim lessons and I knew that main street Lehi was backed up so I took some side roads (which could have been so dangerous) luckily I was following this huge truck who was leading the way and in 4 wheel drive we made it. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to go about 6 miles. To top the night off, our power was out for the evening until about 12:30am. Cooper did not understand it and kept trying to turn the lights on and was really upset.
So the weekend of the Feb 9th, we took a quick trip to Orlando, Florida.
The loads looked good and we found a good deal at a Time share, the only thing we had to go do the tour.........very informative, but man they are high pressure salesman. No, I didn't buy a time share but man......they are persuasive. We will update photos and soon as I get them done. Our Digi camera died so we had to buy disposable.
We ended up going to the beach out in Tampa (clearwater, beach) and then did DisneyWorld on Saturday. There were about 40,000 people in the park that day, I am not guessing that's what the worker there said. It was packed. It was so fun though, we road lots of rides and Alivia met the Princess's. That was the highlight for me because she was so excited and it was so real for her.
The place we stayed was really nice, if you didn't want to leave you wouldn't have to there was so much to do. The flight home was good, we made and not major problems inflight.
Baby update:
So I see the doctor every 2 weeks and then weekly, if everything goes as predicted I will probably be induced on March 20th. Still haven't decided on a name? We might be deciding when he is actually here. Well lets clarify I know what names I like Ben just needs to agree.
Kids:
Alivia and Cooper are in swim lessons and Alivia is doing really good. Cooper has done much better than I thought. I thought he would had a hard time listening. But he does really well and tries really hard. He now loves to go under water (with the help of goggles) and loves to jump into the deep end with dad.
Bauer is on this kick he either has to sleep with Alivia or Cooper lately it has been Cooper on the top bunk. He is so cute, and says so many cute things. (or tries too)
I am officially on Mat leave and won't be back until July-ish.
Congrats to Gary and Allie on their engagement.........May 3 is the day in Edmonton, Canada. He told me that the Salt Lake temple was booked, but I think he was fibbing......
I think the A-Whidden's are going to start out numbering the
J-Whidden's......bring it on:)
So here are few pictures from our quick trip, before the baby comes. If you have ever been to Disney World in the toon town section there is a section where Donald Duck boat is and the water shoots up out of the ground. This is one of our favorite spots because you can just sit and hang out while the kids go crazy. I would say toon town is one of the funner places because it is so kid friendly (for little ones). Sadly Bauer was sleeping through this part, but over in Ariels area, she has a cave with water that shoots out and that is just as fun, Bauer was able to join in the fun with that one. (will add pics later)
