Week in Review

What can you say about the cutest kids in town? Well I can sure say a lot...since they just happen to be my nephews. Look how adorable...I know I'm partial. We were just hanging out at Grandma & Grandpa Pockets house after going to the movie to see Monsters vs. Aliens on Easter Sunday!

Easter was a little different this year, with Sam working about 40 hours in 3 days for the Search and Rescue, and me playing sick to this darn cough that is still holding on. We just had to play it all by a new set of rules.

I got a whole bunch of yard work done Saturday in the rain, and then tucked in early and watched movies in bed. By the way how long has it been since you watched your favorite childhood movie? I watched The Never ending Story, I forgot how cheesy the graphics were. But I still loved it.

Sam bribed the Highway Patrol for a helicopter ride Sunday. I can't believe that he got to go, they usually just tour the 'big wigs' around. From what I gathered he was left in charge at the Sheriff's post and the guys came in to try out the 4-wheelers on the sand dunes. Sam got them all unloaded and cooked up the guys a steak for lunch, when they got all finished up he talked the pilot into a ride. He told me that that is definitely the best way to go up Sand Mountain. I tried to talk him into a photo in his uniform, but you all know how shy the big guy is. But let me just tell ya how handsome he is in his get up.

We can't wait to get this week all over with. Our trip to California is just around the corner!

Week in review

I don't know about the rest of ya, but the work week has this way of dragging along while the weekends seem to be so busy with all the rest of our lives that nothing ends up getting accomplished.



We were happy to spend a little time with Sam's family and celebrate Steeles' birthday this week. We went up for the obligatory strawberry shortcake that is Steele's signature birthday cake on the day of his birthday. But for a little more fun we went out to Outback for dinner on Sunday.



I think it was actually a ploy by Sam to avoid working on our VW buggy that we need to put back together in the next week, so we can take the first trip of the buggy season out to Topaz after Easter.



So if you happen to run upon a little German mechanic that is willing to work for peanuts, tell him to bring his little magic 13 mm wrench and wave it at our garage. He has a lot of work to do to get this little baby back on the road!
