I am angry. Oh, I am absolutely furious. And I am to blame. I lost our camera's memory card while on the way to the store to print out pics. I even had a little nagging thought that I should upload the pics to the computer first, but didn't because I am lazy. So I lost everything on that card from our trip to Delta. Sigh.
This first pic was going to be of all the snow we have received, so you could see how incredibly brave/crazy/delusional/stubborn we were to attempt the drive in the first place. In fact, after it started snowing on Monday and didn't stop, we were all prepared to have Thanksgiving up here instead. Then we got a phone call Thursday morning and were persuaded to try. The roads were ice until Pocatello, where they miraculously started to clear up. I swear there is an invisible weather line there, and up north things must stay icier and colder than down south of this line.
The next picture I wanted to show you was of Brandon and Braedon playing Wii basketball together. Brandon dominated the game. Not my word. Braedon is getting a very fine BYU sports education.
Nadia had some toe drama and had to be driven from Delta to Springville. I did not take any pics of this, either of the toe or of the drive. That toe is something that not even a mother could love, and the drive is just kinda meh.
We started Brandon's birthday early, since we were with lots of cousins and grandparents. We went to Nickel City and let the kids loose with bags of nickels for arcade games, and they also got to play laser tag. This is where I could really kick myself. I had pics of the kids playing and getting ready to unwrap presents and even of the little confectionary delights that go by the name of cupcake from Deseret Book. Those were bites of heaven, my friends. And pics that just can't be replaced. Ugh.
We then went and saw our good friends the Styers, and had a great time visiting with them. That should have been the end of the trip, but it wasn't. After getting back on the road and merging onto the interstate, Cliff got a call from his high school best bud. He and his family were currently in Salt Lake. We couldn't miss that chance, and so we went to Temple Square and visited with them as well. It was so well timed, and so wonderful to see them again! I love to see Temple Square at Christmas time, and love to see old friends even more.
It was perfect. The roads on the way home were okay, and we did have to take it slow from Tremonton UT all the way home, but I am so glad we left when we did. The next day one of the big news items was how many cars were sliding off the road from Provo to Salt Lake. It would have been a miserable trip if we had waited!
So this week I am going to continue to hunt for that card, and then probably buy another one next week. And I'll find the lost one right after that.

I am so sorry. I can relate. I printed out all of our pictures and then deleted them from the camera only to dicover about half of them didn't print. They are stil on my blog, but I was ticked off. I hope you find your card. I will see you tonight!
Really hope you find it. I so know that feeling. When we had to replace windows on our computer a couple of days ago, we thought we lost a few years of pics. Thanks to the makers of the new windows program, we have all of them. We have to repurchase the music we had downloaded, but the pics. are saved and that's all that matters. Darn electronics!!!!!
