easter

i would like to point out its been awhile since my siblings all got together... so of course it was fun filled.... typical whicker stuff... arguements, tv, jokes, someone getting made fun of.... oooh so fun... but really.. mom made a great dinner.. put together cute baskets for all the whicker grandkids ... each kid got an egg with 5 dollars... and all the families got Bedtime Stories. the fun part was trying to hide like 300 plastic eggs in moms yard... so we got creative.
abigail wore my bunny ears for a few....

nerd alert.... look real close at his eyes... they're two different colors... i'll have to get a better picture of them sometime..

Laguna Beach

my trip was way too fun and way too short! i need to go back ASAP... but im glad my boss let me go... this was the funnest trip! even the work part was fun! we got to go see the remodel of our labor rooms kind of pan out. so when we finally go to our KILLER hotel rooms cheryl and i ran out to the beach to walk... it of course was super foggy and misty but we walked along anyways. we ended up getting drenched on our way to this little cove! then we went to walk to the little shops and everything closed at 6!! i was a little bent but it was an interesting walk. then we were off to the most AMAZING dinner. not only was the food great but we were with some really neat people with lots of fun stories! i almost cried when i had to leave the next day...... but it was so fun! im so glad my boss let me go! thanks Helen!

The Mona Whickers...

Jarret, my loving brother, has some hillarious kids, and since he doesn't want to blog about them, even though coleman gives him permission, i thought i would... here goes: So, this may come as a surprise, and theres nothing wrong with it... but my nephew is THE Biggest Nerd! Coleman always has his shirts tucked in, belt on, watch and hat... all he's missing is a pocket protector... Anyways a little while ago Nana bought the three 5 year olds matching shirts, Drey was so excited for the boys to wear them. So when Coleman, aka: Nerd Alert, came over drey gave him his new blue shirt. He was so excited! So i sat him down and said, "You know what Coleman, this shirt would look SO good tucked in!" and nerd then replies, "Yeah! I know! AND i just found my brown belt!!!" "Will you wear it for me to Keller's party tomorrow?" "sure" he says and starts to chuckle because i had smothered my head with a pillow in order to keep from laughing out loud. Apparently his brown belt had been missing, but with some luck he found it just in time to wear it to Kellers birthday party the next day! and by dang only the nerd would actually say that.... Unfortunately i had to go to work and i missed the debut, but don't worry, the nerd wore it for me the other day so i had to take some pictures....

and who could forget my Frenemy?... Miss Abby Lou... She's either my Best Friend, usually when she wants one of my Barbies, or my Enemy, which is 85% of the time. but holy crap she's beautiful... i love abby lou... and here's why....

one: her voice! i've told my brother a million times i hope her voice is the same when she's 17 years old! this little petite thing has the highest, shrill and LOUD voice i've ever heard come from someone her size... i especially love it when she says "Thats not a GOOD word JAMI!" which she says to 80% of my vocabulary, so fyi do not say the word SHUT around abigail...

two: she's NAUGHTY!!!

jarret has made fun of me for years for being stubborn, bratty, spoiled and a know-it-all... lets just say i'm encouraging my frenemy to be just like me.... and my brother loves it...

doesn't she just look naughty!!

and last but not least Alli... aka: Pineapple Hair! with her spikes on top of her, her hair has always looked like a pineapple to me... shes walks around like she's all big and i swear she's like the tiniest person ever... she's the quiet, sweet, just behaves herself baby that my brother thinks he can take all the credit for.... but my heck, that girl can stare down a statue... like she can see your soul ya know!? The other night as we all heard her thump to the bottom of the stairs my brother says, "knowledge bumps".... good job brother.... keep up the good work... even though your wife can take all the credit....

pictures, pictures, pictures

so on my trip to fillmore i was taking pictures for my cousins... and i never pass up an opportunity to take some of my bug... i think i'm going to try and make some money off this kid...

Story Telling

Drey had to tell a story in Kindergarten today.... and me being the awesome supportive pretty much PTA prez mom went to support him (and take pictures). He told the story "Watch Out! Big Bro is Coming!" He did a great job, he doesn't have an ounce of fear in him i don't think. His good buddy Dalton though got a little stage fright, which to me is so funny. Him and drey are so much alike its scary, so to see him be bashful and get a picture was great. So his ma helped him... talk about PTA prez... she's the best Room Mother Ever!

exploring...

i was wanting to take pictures all day yesterday... the weather was perfect, so finally at like 5 i decided to hurry and get him ready and make him. i've driven by this little old place a few times and wanted to see it closer... but it was pretty dark by the time we got there and drey, of course was drey, and wanted to explore rather than let me take pictures... he even sat up on this old barn that had collapsed and didn't like it when i made it shake...

you may want to sit down....

yes, its true... i went to the temple. and it was awesome. i got to spend the morning with my two great friends Patricia and Charelle, aka: Pat & Cheryl. they were nice and invited me to go with them to the Draper Temple open house. It was awesome! the temples are truly amazing just to look at... me and cheryl were worried about earthquakes and lightning strikes, but the worst thrown at us was the mini blizzard up in draper. then we had to find a macaroni grill for cheryls carb craving. it was a great day. thanks girls for inviting me!
