For the past week or so Drew has been coming out of his room around 11 or 12 crying about being scared. Well last night was no exception. I calmly carry him back into his room, sing a song and say a prayer. Trying to be as quiet as possible I start heading back into the living room when I hear a weird growl come from my bedroom behind me. I glance back and see this mass coming towards me. I can't even scream I just reach out and grab it by the throat and start squeezing. Nick starts to laugh and drops the blanket he was holding over his head. I was TERRIFIED!! All I could do was laugh because I was so scared. My consolation prize is knowing that I just might be able to defend myself if something ever happened. I also had my hands turned to claws ready to gouge out some eyes!

Now I have opened up Pandora's box because it is Nick's new mission to scare me so bad that I just might hurt him. Good thing I love him!

Let's Play A Game

I want to play a game. Ever heard of the game 2 truths and 1 lie? Well let's play! I will tell 2 truths and 1 lie and you'll guess which one is the lie. I would love to see some others join in the fun!

Here goes:

1. I have walked across hot coals.

2. I have seen Loch Ness.

3. I have gone Whale Watching.

Game on!

Lovin February

Earlier this month we had beautiful fog roll through St. George. We took a drive across the Red Hill and had to stop to enjoy the beauty.



For Valentine's this year we were spoiled! Nick surprised me with some amazing jewelry and we surprised the boys with a day trip to Las Vegas. We went to the Shark Reef Aquarium and were entranced by all the marine life. My personal favorites were the jellyfish and manta rays. The boys loved the sharks. After the Aquarium we walked down the strip to the M&M Factory and watched the Bellagio fountains. While we were walking we get the call saying that my little sister was in the hospital getting ready to welcome her baby girl into the family. We drove home and sure enough on February 15th at 4:08am Mina Jane Shelline was born! She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long.
Pictures to come!
