The Big 3-0!!!!

Okay, so on Tuesday I turned 30, yes 30!!!! It was pretty emotional, which everything is these days due to my lack of sleep. I know I am not OLD, but let's face it 30 is on the other side of young. :> So, as I thought about my life and what I had done in 30 years I have to admit that I was VERY glad that I could count Adee and Shep as two of my major accomplishments. I am so glad that we have them and that they are healthy and happy. I can always count on one or both of them to make me smile, and that is a nice feeling. I am definitely realizing how important family is, and that in the end the memories that you have made with your friends and loved ones are the things that you will cherish most. Here's to the next 30 years! Wish me luck!

Shep's got a GIRLFRIEND!!!

I couldn't resist putting this picture on here, it is too cute! Shep is with his first girlfriend Mia, she is one of Becky's twins. Yes, Mia does look a little scared of Shep, but I am sure that will change as their relationship grows. :>

Ohhh.... chocolate, again.

The other day my little smarty tried to out smart me again. She ALMOST pulled it off. The Easter Bunny brought her some cadbury eggs and I kept forgetting to let her try them, well, she decided it was time. I was in feeding Shep and she was really quite (bad sign) I figured there was something going on and had already started to guess what it could be when Adee peeked her head in the room. Our conversation went a little like this.
"Hey Ad's" (me noticing the chocolate around her mouth)
"Hey mom." (sly smile)
"What ya been doing?"
"Nothing"
"What you been eating?"
"NOTHING!!!" (very shocked)
"Did you have some chocolate?'
Then she couldn't take it anymore, she HAD to tell me how good those chocolate egg things were and that they were the best treat she had ever had. I asked her if she ate the whole package (they come in a box of four) and she said "No, I saved one for tomorrow."
Yeah, three WHOLE cadbury eggs, no drips, no wrappers, no belly ache...... if only she would have looked in the mirror before she came to see what I was up to! :>
She really is soooo smart, she even pushed the wrappers way down in the trash. Funny girl.
So before we washed away the "evidence" with her bath I figured I better take some pics.
I had to have one of my not so little guy too, it is a good thing he is not old enough to learn from his sister, yet!

Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter. I heard Adee wake up (as I always do) and waited for her to come into the room and get us like she does EVERY morning - bright and early. However, she ventured into the living room and saw that the easter bunny had left her some eggs to find. I figured she would be in to get us up for sure, but then I heard an egg crack open and Adee say "ooohhhh, chocolate!" and I knew that if we didn't get out there quickly we would miss the egg hunt. :>
She really loved her easter dress, and she kept moving from side to side to hear the "swooshing" sound as she called it. Grandma B got her a book about the real meaning of Easter and we have read it every night since, she really loves it.
