My poor children have been over photographed for a very long time.
However, recently I haven't been quite the shutter-bug I used to be.
Not quite sure why.
Anyway, if I had taken pictures, you would know that they kids got their traditional extra-large Hershey kisses for Valentines Day and that I bought them Pizza for dinner that night.
You would also see Tacey dressed all business-like before she walked out the door to her interview for Girl's State. She did an amazing job, which we know for two reasons - 1) Her friend who was on the panel that picked the girl's told her so and 2) She got chosen! If I had taken pictures, you would also see the big smile she came home wearing.

You would also see that Tacey was a super-cute cheerleader wearing a lei at the district Basketball game, that our team won. That game was a serious nail -biter.
You would also see that Dallin & McCade started city league Basketball. They had a very hard time getting coaches, so they are actually spending 1 1/2 hours on Friday nights running 30 minutes of drills to work on their skills, then they split up and scrimmage. So we don't have actual teams, but the skills practice is a really good thing.
Yeah, you won't see any of that.
What I could show you is a picture or two of Shane teaching Dallin how to shave, but I decided that some rites of passage don't necessarily need to be shared with the whole world. But I he didn't cut himself, so that was good. He also decided only to shave his mustache right now, even though the rest of his face is getting fairly fuzzy. He will wait until it starts to turn dark.
Instead you will see our trip to Universal Studios.
I took a lot of pictures of things, but not a lot of the kids. We are going back in the near future, and I will make a note to get more pictures with the kids in them.
The famous Delorean from Back To The Future.
Getting stuck in a flash flood. We really did get wet even. That would be a nice perk in July or August, not so much in December.
An all-purpose city street
The Bates Hotel, complete with Norman.
He really is Psycho.
Jaws. But we still go into the water.
An horrific plane crash. No bodies though. Guess the extras were at lunch.
And in case there was something you wanted to see but didn't, here is the world's largest green screen.
Okay, drops of awesome this week?
Tacey - didn't yell at her brother, but chose to make it into a joking situation - lots of drops there.
Dallin - talked his brother and a neighbor boy into running with him to start to get ready for track. He likes to run alone - so lots of drops there.
McCade - his grades are up - lots of drops there too.
Shane - ditched work to spend Valentine's Day with me, he also taught Dallin how to shave.
Me - Brought in the groceries below budget again, bought Shane a Roku so we can finally watch good TV for a very reasonable price, bonded with Tacey as I went out with her BFF and her BFF's Aunt for dinner and a movie, and made breakfast for the kids every single day. Drop, drop, drop.
