So, we have been doing some fun stuff. I, however, do not have any pictures of it. booo.... me! One of my friends asked me if I had been using my high tech camera to take lots of pictures of my kiddos and the answer is no, and now I feel guilty, so be prepared for a picture overload in the next few months. :>
We all went to Salt Lake a few weeks ago and Adee and I braved Disney on Ice while Sam and Shep looked at Harleys and ate lunch at Dick's Sports Bar. (What a boy thing to do.) Sam said that Shep had the waitress wrapped around his finger - I guess I can't leave those two alone for to long! :> Adee LOVED Disney on Ice, but apparently the production team that puts on these things has failed to notice that there is a SLIGHT economic downturn these days. :> We paid $4.00 for a drink, $6.50 for a pretzel, $10.00 for a snow cone and $16.00 for a SNAPSHOT with a plastic Mickey and Minnie! A little spendy, but the picture of Adee grinning ear to ear was so dang cute, that it made it all well worth it!
We also took a trip to Boise so that Sam could watch March Madness with his highschool buddies. They had a good time and I am glad that they can all get together and hang out, it is good for those boys! Adee and Shep and I did some shopping, sledding and relaxing up on the hill. ;>
The pictures that I DO have posted are of Shep enjoying his first Oreo, and of Adee and Shep eating an early Easter treat. I know, not so entertaining, but pictures all the same. I just have to say that I am so grateful for my kids and for Sam. I love them so much and do not know what I would do without them. I think I am FINALLY starting to slow down and enjoy the SMALL stuff. It does not always have to be a huge trip or something really exciting in order for it to be fun or memorable. Sometimes the ordinary things can really make you realize how lucky you are. Adee is such a good example of this for me, she gets excited over EVERYTHING, and it is great for me to learn from her. Love you all and hope you are doing well! :> The Butler's
