Abe's apple



I think this is one of my favorite things that happened today. Abe absolutely loves apples!!!!! Anytime I say it is snack time, he runs to the fridge saying bapple, bapple. He does not however, like the peel right now. He eats all the apple around it and then spits it out. Today, he finally got to the core of an apple. What came next was rather funny.

Be mine



Today Brayden and Carly had Valentine's Day celebrations at school. These are the boxes they made. It is so much fun to see their excitement and remember doing the same thing.

Special Experience

For those of you who may not be aware, Boise is hosting the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games. Well, I decided that this was not an every day event (duh!), so Scott and I took them to take part in some of the festivities on Wednesday. I was hoping to get a picture of us in front of the Olympic Cauldron. However, much to my dismay, we found out that they had moved it to Sun Valley that morning. So after my moment or two of disappointment,we saw this ice sculpture. The kids thought it was great and so I decided that it would be okay and could heal my disappointment. I did try to talk myself and Scott into driving to Sun Valley to see the cauldron. And although it was very tempting, I finally came to the conclusion that is just was not practical right now.



There was a "Sports Experience" area set up at one of the venues. Brayden had a lot of fun playing floor hockey. We almost couldn't get him away from it. He did a great job at it too.




















One thing that I thought was great, was that all of the events were free admission. It gave us the opportunity to take the kids to see some of the competitions, as well as support the wonderful athletes competing. The event that we when to see was Figure Skating. The kids had a great time, although their attention span was not very long. They also got to see the Zamboni. It was one of their favorite parts.

All in all, we had a great time and i am glad we were able to take part in these great events.

Where have you gone . . . .

Wow!!! I think it has been awhile since I have posted. For those of you who may have wondered, I am still alive. It has been a trying several of months, but I think I made it through. I am making a new resolve to put forth more of an effort to keep my blog up to date. We will see how it goes. Wish me luck!
